Hrdlièka (2003) , however, does not indicate it for Hong Kong . It can be quite common under rocks in gravel or coarse sandy areas adjacent to marshes. Specimens were determined from Habu (1984) . Material: 1 ex. Hong Kong , Lantau, Pui O, 26.ii.08 , under wet stone; Sight record Hong Kong , Lantau, Pui O, 3.iii.09 , under wet stone; 1 ex.

Biology: Imago found September to March, though this may be biased as accessibility into the marsh habitat is difficult in the summer wet season. This species is common in Pui O under the heaped stones and rocks in the gravel / coarse sandy areas forming the banks of the wet marsh. Found singularly or in pairs. Pheropsophus ( Stenaptinus ) jessoensis Morawitz, 1862 Chaudoir (1876a) noted that a specimen of this species was sold to him as coming from Hong Kong . There is one modern record, which was identified from Habu (1984) . Material: 1 ex. Hong Kong , Kam Tin, Tin Sam Tsuen 16.iv.08 (Leg. Yiu Vor). Pheropsophus ( Stenaptinus ) occipitalis ( MacLeay, 1825 ) Andrewes (1930) lists P. fuscicollus ( Dejean 1825 ) a junior synonym of this species occurring in Hong Kong . Hrdlièka (2003) lists Hong Kong for this species.
