- Parsons, M.J. 1998. The Butterflies of Papua New Guinea; their systematics and biology. San Diego : Academic Press 736 pp. [134] (adopted a different taxonomy which implied that both Chaetocneme caristus Hewitson and C. sphinterifera (Fruhstorfer) occur on Cape York Peninsula; further work is needed in Australia to evaluate this)
