(P.) buriensis Kirschenhofer 1998 syn. n.; C. (P.) sobrinus Dejean, 1826 = C. (P.) callichloris Bates, 1873 syn. n. = C. (P.) ladon Kirschenhofer, 1998 syn. n.; C. (P.) lomsakensis Kirschenhofer, 1998 = C. (P.) farkaci Kirschenhofer, 2005 syn. n. = C. (P.) viangchanensis Kirschenhofer, 1998 syn. n.; C. (P.) celer Chaudoir, 1876 = C.
