Differential diagnosis. Calomera bordonii possesses a similar pattern of its elytral maculation with C. decemguttata, with the lateromedian macula distinctly or always at least noticeably distant from the outer elytral margin, but the subhumeral macula in C. bordonii is rounded or at least always shorter, and female upper-discal catoptric area indistinct (Figs 100, 102, 115–116). Basic elytral coloration velvety black; furthermore, C. bordonii is immediately distinguished by the almost subglobose shape of the pronotal disc in males, olivaceous-green pronotal surface with faint or sometimes bright green, green-blue and violet reflections and with rather coarser surface sculpture, yet the rugae on sublateral areas are usually more spaced (Figs 103–104). In addition, male labrum is generally longer and the surface of female labrum has deeper sublateral impression (Figs 108–111). Body 13.8–15.1 mm long.

For the description see Wiesner (2018).

Distribution. Calomera bordonii is endemic to the Indonesian island of Buru, Maluku (= Moluccas). The above-cited specimen (NMPC) labelled “D. N. Guinea ” is evidently mislabelled.
