Genus
Pogonus
Dejean, 1821
Pogonus
sp.
This may be the first record for this tribe in
Hong Kong
, though Bowring wrote in a letter dated
2nd June 1851
, that in the spring he had caught "one or two species like
Pogonus
" (Anon, 1851) presumably from
Hong Kong
. The imago is quite similar to
P. chalceus
(Marsham 1802)
, but with paler legs, antennae and apical quarter of elytra.
Material
: Ƌ W.T.L.,
6.vii.15
.
Biology
: Imago found July. Can be attracted to light. It seems to prefer vertical surfaces on which it was quite agile.
