Subgenus
Spilodia
Rivalier, 1961
Lophyra
(
Spilodia
)
striolata dorsolineolata
(
Chevrolat, 1845
)
First listed by
Schaum (1860)
, who commented this species was not uncommon in
Hong Kong
. Chevrolat described the subspecies
dorsolineolata
as
Cicindela dorsolineolata
from a specimen originating in the environs of
Macao
prior to 1845 and it is listed for
Hong Kong
by
Chaudoir (1865)
. However both
Puchkov & Matalin (2003)
and
Shook & Wiesner (2006)
list
Lophyra striolata taliensis
(
Fairmaire 1886
)
and not
C
.
dorsolineata
as occurring here. Shook & Wiesner further comment "Subspecies of
striolata
are in need of revision. It may be that ssp.
dorsolineata
represents this species in
China
(as stated for
Taiwan
by Wiesner
et al.
(2002), whereas ssp.
striolata
,
taliensis
and
tenuiscripta
(Fleuriaux, 1893) are individual forms only in their representative areas".
