Now they will ask - why so much, 1 view per box?

If you noticed, there are several subspecies of juenthneri in that box.

Do you need them?" or is it an idle question - the price is determined by the demand and the cost of finding them and bringing them - and most importantly, whether there is any desire to sell them at all

Not needed, just wondering how much it can cost

View 1!

There is only one view, but it is scattered from Bolshaya Laba in the KCR to Bzybi in Abkhazia.

It's just great! I love your collection!!!

You need to take this phrase for a regular joke of the forum - to respond to any material: "How much does this beetle/grasshopper/butterfly cost?"

something to brag about)
Who forgot-I remind you, who did not know-I say, they are interested in bears in exchange.

Dear friends, but the cost of any copy. in any collection, it cannot not exist,and if someone interisuetsya, for example, just for information to think about, then this is not a joke, but a question.

I put out a few boxes)

Good afternoon! I offer you one of the boxes in my collection. This is only the first part of the call. sem. Sphingidae. Almost all specimens were caught in the Pskov region, except for stellatarum, titus (fuciformis from Pskov), and leghorn. As I put things in order in the call center, I plan to display the rest of the boxes as well.

And milkweed caught in Pskov? There's something he doesn't want to get to Peter...

Yes, he is also from Pskov region.

Well Nikita you brazhnichkov completed) nice to see!!!!

To maintain the theme, I put up 2 of my boxes, the first is material from Uzbekistan, mainly black-bodied animals, and the second is the result of a trip with a Blackcoleopter towards the Ilovlya river, for very strict ones-all the material is defined, just the hands do not reach the normal labels

I brought the material on the subgenus Archiplectes into a human state, that's what happened...

Not a bad collection. The only thing I would advise is to place the species in taxonomic proximity. And then it looks a little strange - C. reitteri and C. prometheus in one box. Although the taste and color...

C. reitteri is certainly closer to C. juenthneri and C. satyrus. He doesn't get involved with his band anymore, so I had to organize a "communal apartment" with the prometheus group. God forbid with the accumulation of material and disperse. I would also like to combine C. apollo with C. koltzei, but the location does not allow it. So they will live together at least until next season .

Do you have Mouhotia convexa in your collection? If so, it would be very interesting to see the photo.

I read the moukhotii re-descriptions and in thought
rather on the last photo on the left and there is convexa
quickly translated-maybe there are flaws

2. Mouhotia convexa Lewis
Mouhotia convexa Lewis (1883: 193). (Type m, Laos, Oberthur Coll.,MNHN, Paris)
Waterhouse (1883: pl. 129); Csiki (1927: 448); Pouillaude (1914: 329–330)

Diagnosis
Length 40–45 mm; colouration with pronotal markings extending further onto disc than in other species; base of pronotum, broad; width across base, greater than 10mm; basal margin of pronotum, transverse medially, with rounded lobes at basal corners; pronotum and elytra, strongly convex; median line of pronotum, obsolete or nearly so; elytral striae, shallow, obsolete; intervals between striae, smooth or broadly rounded; and rows of elytral punctations, small but distinct.

Length 40-45 mm; color with prsp edging extending further on the disk than in other types; prsp base. wide; width at the base is more than 10 mm; main edge of prsp. transversal in the middle, with rounded protuberances at the main angles; prsp and elytra, strongly convex; the middle line of the prsp. is very weak or almost reduced; the grooves of the supracr. are small, slightly pronounced; the intervals between the grooves are smooth or widely rounded and rows of dots on the supracr. clear and small.

Specimens examined Laos: f, Thailand: Chiayaphum Province 3mm, f; Sakonnakon Province m, ff; Tak Province m, f, NMNH COLL.

Distribution
Laos: Lakhon Mountains (Oberthur 1892); Thailand: Cyaphum Province, Sakonnakon Province, Tak Province.

3. Mouhotia gloriosa Castelnau
Mouhotia gloriosa Castelnau (1862: 305–306). Type, m, Laos (Oberthur Coll., MNHN, Paris); Lucas (1877: 246); Oberthur (1892: 196); Csiki (1927: 448); Pouillaude (1914: 327–329); Andrewes (1929: 325–326)

=S. midas Schaum (1862: 64). Stevens (1862: 103)
=Mouhotia planipennis Pouillaude (1914: 327, 330); Andrewes (1929: 326)

Diagnosis
Length 45–59 mm; base of pronotum, as inM. convexa; elytral surface, sculpturing in one of two distinct forms, the first form has the elytral striae obsolete and the rows of punctations minute and the longitudinal carinae indistinct, while the second form has its elytra distinctly striatopunctate, with the striae shallowly impressed at base and becoming deeper towards elytral apices; in this second form, intervals between the striae are smooth at the base of the elytra but become distinctly carinate towards the elytral apices, with alternate intervals more strongly carinate.
Specimens examined
China: Yunnan, Tongxin, Pu-er County, Simao City, vii. 2007 3 ff; Laos: 2 mm 3 ff.
Thailand: Chiang Rai Province, Wiang Pa Piao District 4 mm 6 ff. NMNH Coll.

Comments
According to Pouillaude (1914), the type specimens of gloriosa and midas were originally part of a series of 10 specimens collected by H. Mouhot in Laos prior to his death in 1861; both these were published in 1862 – M. gloriosa in August, and S.midas in November; and this synonymy was almost instantaneously recognised by Stevens (1862: 103) giving priority to M. gloriosa.
Mouhotia planipennis was described as a separate species by Pouillaude (1914) on he basis of the differences in elytral surface sculpture (elytra are feebly or not at all striate with rows of minute punctations in the specimens described as M. planipennis, but more or less distinctly striate with rows of larger punctations in the specimens described as M. gloriosa); however, M. planipennis was subsequently treated by Andrewes (1929) as a variety of M. gloriosa. The form described as M. planipennis might actually represent a regional variant or subspecies (Siam Insect Zoo and Aquarium 2009); however, its status requires further investigation.

Distribution. Cambodia: La-Khon (Lucas 1877); Laos (Castelnau 1862): Mekong (Lucas 1877); Thailand (Pouillaude 1914); hills of Kiang-sen in northern Thailand (Oberthur,1892).

I read moukhotii's re descriptions and in a thoughtful
mood rather in the last photo on the left there is convexa

Your sample also shows another characteristic of Mouhotia convexa - a double row of dots on the elytra:

Pouillaude, 1914: "Les reliefs des élytres sont aplanis et tendent à s'effacer dans la région scutellaire; ils sont plus marqués dans les parties latérales et postérieures ou les séries de points deviennent doubles". ->Google Translate - > The elytra reliefs are smoothed out and tend to recede on the skullcap (LOL) region, they are more pronounced in the side and back parts or sets of points become doubled.

Lewis, 1883: "The convexity of the elytra gives them a much narrower margin than in M. Batesi, and each stria (there are 9 or 10 in all) consists merely of a double line of punctures; the interstices are quite smooth and level."

Could you take a side profile picture of your M. convexa and M. batesi so that you can clearly see how strong the convexa's elithra bulge is?
Thanks!

I have a collection of these Mouhotia species

Winter. I'm starting to slowly edit my Asian material. A box of whiteflies (Thailand, Nepal) Colotis, Catopsilia and Pieris canidia indica hanging out there. I don't collect a lot of daytime butterflies, but it's slowly accumulating.

Swap the styrofoam in the box for isolon. Otherwise, in a few years, the pins will be removed together with a piece of foam, and nothing will remain of the pins.

styrofoam eats pins??

styrofoam does not " eat " pins, but simply collapses very quickly under the influence of repeated chipping, and these a priori will be, due to the incompleteness of the box. although, I think this is just a drive, not the main collection, pm is just a working option

styrofoam eats pins??

More than 20 years worth, more than one did not eat.

please forgive me for offtop, because this is not a collection YET, but....
the other day I was assigned to sort out material from Ecuador (skokato thousand copies; in the photo of the current part, there is no scoop and others) slowly going crazy ... even without knowing the types visually from a large series, a whole bunch of differences loom later I will start a separate topic in the "definitions" can anyone help

UNTIL...
[attachmentid()=189440]
[attachmentid()=189441]
[attachmentid()=189442]

after...

They've been standing for more than 20 years, and I haven't eaten one yet.

not that the foam itself is destroyed, then okay, but I asked because:

AS FOR NEEDLES, pins can eat up the current secretions of the beetles themselves (especially if they are not well dried, skimmed, etc.), but this is all subject to improper storage, cameralki, etc. or with an obscene quality of the needles themselves

THE FLIP SIDE the most luxurious needles can turn into a full " G " if you have a full "G" at home for their maintenance

I decided to arrange leaf beetles. Came out here is such a box. The author was a little drunk, so it's so crooked

Fleas, boogers, and bugbears didn't fit)

Ilyush,
- are you not afraid to store in such boxes?
- "square" dies "Kaburek" or samopal?

The beauty is indescribable!It is small and in this call-ve-respect!!!!

Ilyush,

I'm not afraid, it's better in a box than in the "open air", as they were previously stored. Boxes by the way are excellent, I have 4 pcs. exactly in the cabinet included.

If you look closely, there are 3 types of dies: the very first ones are obtained by cutting cardboard (2006), the second ones are homemade cutouts from drawing paper (2007-2009), and, finally, the third ones are white, purchased, entosfinks (2010-2013).

I haven't heard about styrofoam, this box that belyanki is now in is about fifteen years old, so as not to shave it off. No one collapsed in it. Isolon is more fashionable, no doubt. And I even have it in newer boxes. But in this one, I'm too lazy to change it. Moreover, this box is really a drive. Part of the whitewash is still in progress.
