Subgenus Clivina

New record for Hong Kong. Determined from photograph by Dmitry Fedorenko and confirmed by Michael Balkenohl from specimens. Material: 1 ex. Hong Kong, Lantau, Pui O, 9.x.12. Biology: Imago found October. Freshwater marsh adjacent to open water.

Clivina (Clivina) vulgivaga Boheman, 1858

Putzeys (1866) listed this species for Hong Kong. The specimens were determined using Nakane (1952) and match Boheman's original description and probably belong to this species or at least what has been recorded as this species from Hong Kong. Material: 1 ex. Hong Kong, Lantau, Mui Wo, 11.ii.11 Mui Wo, pitfall trap; 1 ex. Hong Kong, Wu Kau Tang, 23.iii.12; 1 ex.

Clivina (Clivina) sp. lobata group

Determined by Michael Balkenohl from specimens who quoted "The lobata group is not well understood and needs revision. Only a few species are described yet. So, it is an adventure to define the species without type material" (Baehr, pers. comm.). Material: 1 ex. W.T.L., 20.v.12; 1 ex. W.T.L., 26.v.06; 1 ex. W.T.L., July 2011; 1 ex. W.T.L., 1.x.09; 1 ex. W.T.L., 7.x.13; 1 ex. W.T.L., 11.x.13; Sight record W.T.L., 15.x.13; 1 ex. W.T.L., 24.x.06; 1 ex. W.T.L., October 2010. Biology: Imago found May to July and October. All records are from lights. Fully winged.
