本文报道了两种瓢虫，一种为Phrynocaria Timberlake（Coccinellni），另一种为Chilocorus Leach（Chilocorini）。马鲁古群岛（印度尼西亚）的华莱士有相同的身体大小和颜色模式，鞘翅上有纵向条纹。他们的外表特征如此相似，以至于G.R. Crotch在1874年将这两个物种都纳入了Chilocorus wallacii Crotch的模式系列。该标本被指定为Chilocorus wallacii的选择模式，属于Phrynocaria。Coelophora wallacii Crotch，1874也被转移到Phrynocaria（new comb.）并成为高级同名词，而Phrynocaria crotchi为中级初级同名词提出了新名称。描述了一种被误认为是瓦氏唇瓢虫Crotch的分类单元。
Two species of ladybird beetles, one belonging to Phrynocaria Timberlake (Coccinellni) and the second to Chilocorus Leach (Chilocorini) collected by R.A. Wallace in the Maluku Islands (Indonesia) have identical body size and colour pattern with longitudinal stripes on elytra. Their external features were so similar that G.R. Crotch included both of them in the type series of Chilocorus wallacii Crotch, 1874. The specimen designated as the lectotype of Chilocorus wallacii belongs to Phrynocaria. Coelophora wallacii Crotch, 1874 is also transferred to Phrynocaria (new comb.) and becomes senior homonym and Phrynocaria crotchi new name is proposed for the secondary junior homonym. Chilocorus crotchi sp. nov. is described for the taxon misidentified as Chilocorus wallacii Crotch.
