Genus
Chlorocala
Kirby, 1828
Schauer (1941)
had revised the representatives of
Chlorocala
under the name
Smaragdesthes
Kraatz, 1880
and
Allard (1991)
followed the same criterion.
Holm & Marais (1992)
argued that “with nearly 60 names in the literature for probably not more than a dozen good taxa, this genus poses a (rather sad) challenge for revision”.
Beinhundner (2017b)
recognized fourteen species in the genus. There are two species recorded for
Guinea-Bissau
(
Janson 1907
;
Brivio 1958
).
