Comments.

Although widely distributed in Hong Kong across multiple habitats, including shrublands, plantations, urban forest remnants, secondary forest and Feng Shui woods ( Tang et al. 2019), this species appears less common in Macao where it has been collected at four different sites, all of which were relatively small patches of young secondary forests. This is a new species record for Macao.
