[2] Alfred Russel Wallace collected in Sarawak in 1858 a number ofspecimens, but did not leave any more precise information about the location.

Other specimens collected by Wallace are kept as paralectotypes in the Oxford University Museum of Natural History.

Adult males are dominated by a dark, mostly black-brown basic color with a bright yellow-orange to red longitudinal line, which extends from the rear edge of the pronotum to the middle of the abdomen.

On the mesothorax the first pair of spines forms a flat triangle, very broad at the base, which is much more pronounced than in other Hoploclonia species.

[2][4] Hoploclonia gecko is native to the northwest of Borneo, more precisely in the far west of the Malaysian state Sarawak.

Of the three arms of the micropylar plate, one faces the lid, while the other two run laterally in the direction of the lower pole and enclose about 2/3 of the egg.

Philip Bragg collected some specimens in December 1987 in the Bako National Park, which he was able to successfully reproduce and spread.

Leaves of bramble, other Rosaceae, as well as oak, ivy, Crataegus and Pyracantha species are accepted as food.
