Remarks

Systematics: Hodgson & Henderson (2000) who studied type material of this species discovered that it includes two specimens of 2nd-instar males (not females) that belong to a different species. Therefore, they concluded that it should be regarded as Ctenochiton elongatus Maskell nomen dubium.
