Treatment

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).
