Catalogue and Bibliography of the Hong Kong Carabidae Latreille, 1802 (Coleoptera: Adephaga), with notes on the historic boundaries of Hong Kong as related to zoological collections Author Aston, Paul text Zootaxa 2016 4121 3 201 257 journal article 38912 10.11646/zootaxa.4121.3.1 6cb37831-da16-4763-a32c-aef636512990 1175-5326 265007 172021D4-55C8-483F-A6B2-F823C3022F90 Genus Physodera Eschscholtz, 1829 Physodera eschscholtzii Parry, 1849 New record for Hong Kong . Identification was made by Dr. Martin Baehr, by checking type material. Material : 1 ex. Hong Kong , Hong Kong Island, Pok Fulam, 17.iv.09 (Leg. Yiu Vor); 1 ex. Hong Kong , Mui Tze Lung, 7.v.08 (Leg.Yiui Vor). Biology : Imago found April to May. Physodera parvicollis Van de Poll, 1889 This species was described from Hong Kong specimens, and is listed by Jedlièka (1963) , Hua (2002) , Kabak (2003) and Shi et al. (2013) . The only distinguishing feature between this species and P. eschscholtzii Parry 1849 , is the size of the pronotum, smaller and narrower in P. parvicollis . As the only recent specimens of this genus collected in Hong Kong match well the type specimens of P. eschscholtzii , a comparison of type material is needed to ascertain whether both species names refer to the same taxon.
