Today's discussion in the definition of beetles inspired.
I want to present the only instance I have in my collection
Buprestis rustica Linnaeus, 1758 from the Moscow region.
The beetle was presented in 1997 by Misha Shestopalov (blessed be his memory).
Therefore, I also bring original labels.

By the way, I want to ask the public opinion.
No one will mind if I" bang "the previously created me this awkward theme: "Zlatki Tropiki" transferring beetles from it here? In my opinion, it's time to figure it out .

OK. Then I'll start a little bit: not everything yet, I'll finish it tomorrow (I need to reshoot the last one and then it will be kerdyk to that topic ) .
Three wonderful, colorful species from Southeast Asia (unfortunately, there is a problem with labels here).
1) Catoxantha opulenta opulenta Gory, 1832 Sumatra Island.
2) Chrysochroa raja ssp. assamensis Guérin-Méneville, 1847? Thailand.
3) Chrysochroa buqueti Gory, 1833 Burma.

I also want to introduce this zlatka from Tajikistan for the correction of the definition of which I will be grateful. Original label attached.
Capnodis tenebricosa bucharica Obenberger,1945
Many thanks to Nilson for confirming the definition .
Also, special thanks to Dergg for clarifying the subspecies .
P.S. The collection has a certain number of such historical and indefinite goldsmiths, so I plan to gradually post them here.

I want to present an even older "rarity" than the previous beetle.
Impaled yet on !THE COPPER ONE! A pin.
Hmm... And someone says about pins with platinum heads .
Judging by the extremely uninformative original label, this one is quite large (approx. 3 cm.) Capnodis sp. from Uzbekistan.
Capnodis tenebrionis (Linnaeus, 1758) or not?

An indeterminate and rather large (approx. 2 cm.) gold piece from those presented to your humble servant by Misha Shestopalov.
I also present the original label.
Can you tell me who it is?"
Sphenoptera sp. ???

As far as I know, the subspecies bucharica Obenberger lives in Tajikistan

Which was described in 1945. I have a bug from 1952. I won't risk it: I'll leave the nominative

15.04.2012 12:55, Bad Den

15.04.2012 13:05, vasiliy-feoktistov

What doesn't add up?

And I do not know how to distinguish them . By the way: is there a nominative there?

15.04.2012 15:48, vasiliy-feoktistov

Acmaeodera (Acmaeotethya) degener degener (Scopoli 1763) I think nominative.
Krasnodar Region, Absheronsk
15.07.1987. Leg. Shanaev.

Here I sin on another subspecies (I wonder how many of them?):
Acmaeodera (Acmaeotethya) degener quattuordecimpunctata (Villers 1789) ?
Krasnodar Territory, Goryachy Klyuch.
25.06.1963. Leg. Burakova.
PS Thanks to Dorcadion for correcting the place of capture (previously it was written "Mountain Key").

I don't know either. However, it is generally accepted that several subspecies cannot live on the same territory at the same time. Tajikistan seems to be sufficiently remote from the type habitats of the nominative (Mediterranean, Southern Europe) for the entire territory to be inhabited by a local subspecies.

Iron logic. Thank you. Then I'll add the subspecies

16.04.2012 7:38, vasiliy-feoktistov

Poecilonota variolosa (Paykull, 1799)
Moscow region, Luzhki.
22.06.1987 Leg. M. Shestopalov.

Historical, from a different region, and a differently colored specimen (maybe a different subspecies?).
Poecilonota variolosa (Paykull, 1799)
The label in this case had to be made by myself and the name of the collector, alas, is unknown
P.S. Many thanks to Guk-u for clarifying the place of capture (previously it was written "Tingushinsky forestry": I rewrote the label and replaced the photo.

Tingutinsky

Pasib, and then the trouble is to decipher these handwritten intricacies
Now I will redo the label

17.04.2012 16:53, vasiliy-feoktistov

Well, you should probably write "Stalingrad region, Krasnoarmeysky district, Tingutinsky forestry"?
Based on what time the bug was collected. Just follow the rules.
UPD: Fixed the post by rewriting the label.
Dorcadion and hooke, thank you very much: thanks to you, it was possible to establish the truth about two beetles
How wonderful that this forum exists

How does this species differ from A. degener?

And here I am the other day doubtful in the correctness of Zin's definition: on that Czech site, octodecimguttata is represented in two subspecies. Also presented there is a degener completely different in appearance

17.04.2012 21:58, Fornax13

Acmaeoderini is not a group where you can focus on the drawing. M. G. Volkovich signed the Krasnodar beetles as A. degener, although he said that in this group the Europeans have made some sense and you need to study the genitals. That's why I'm interested

Well A. degener from the Czechs here what it looks like (even the pronotum is different) is a big question. And I used to trust the Czechs quite a long time ago. XZ in short

18.04.2012 7:45, vasiliy-feoktistov

Opanki, the question was resolved to the campaign: I rename both to Acmaeodera (Acmaeotethya) degener : http://www.faunaeur.org/index.php?show_wha...ctodecimguttata
Ufff......however, zlatochki.......

That's what I'm talking about, although maybe everything is not so clear, since Europeans do not doze off. In general, they can be addressed to M. G. Volkovich - Polycestinae is just his group.

09.06.2012 10:06, vasiliy-feoktistov

I decided to put this zlatka here:
First collected by me
Agrilus (Uragrilus) planipennis Fairmaire, 1888
A large beetle (L=12mm.) and like no one but this species does not work. I will be glad to correct it if it is incorrectly defined.
Caught "in years" 07.06.2012, under poplars, in the center of Zheleznodorozhny, Moscow region.

Probably it is, I will not dare to determine up to the view from this angle, and I did not take the copy myself at that time.
