Chlorochroa juniperina, commonly known as the juniper shield bug, is a European species of shield bug in the tribe Nezarini. C. juniperina is distributed in mainland Europe from France through to Scandinavia, but became extinct in England in 1925 due to the decline of juniper, its host.{{Cite web |url=http://speciesrecoverytrust.org.uk/LostLife.html |title=The Species Recovery Trust Lost Life Project |access-date=2018-10-26 |archive-date=2018-10-28 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181028064830/http://www.speciesrecoverytrust.org.uk/LostLife.html |url-status=dead }}
