Genus
Calochroa
Hope, 1838
Calochroa flavomaculata
(
Hope, 1831
)
There are no recent records of this very distinctive species in
Hong Kong
. It was apparently listed by
Andrewes (1930)
and subsequently listed as occurring in
Hong Kong
by
Wiesner (1992)
,
Puchkov & Matalin (2003)
, Wiesner (2004),
Sawada & Wiesner (2006b)
,
Shook & Wiesner (2006)
and Wiesner (2008).
Sawada & Wiesner (2004)
and
Wiesner (2013a)
have the subspecies
C. flavomaculata flavomaculata
(
Hope, 1831
)
as occurring in
Hong Kong
. It may well be that
Andrewes (1930)
listed it in confusion with the similarily named
Cosmodela aurulenta flavomaculata
Chevrolat.
Calochroa interruptofasciata interruptofasciata
(
Schmidt-Göebel, 1846

A junior synonym of the
flavolineata
form of this species,
Cicindela ditissima
Bates 1872
was described from
Hong Kong

. Listed as occurring in
