Status Indeterminable from description and type is lost. Salazar-Vallejo (2023) reports that the type is lost and he assesses the name as indeterminable, pending the availability of new material. This seems unlikely as Frickhinger, 1916 does not appear to give a collection locality in Japan. Earlier the name had been placed as a synonym of Chloeia flava (Pallas, 1766) [details]
