(Figs 6,82–86) Chrysomela quadrimaculata Linnaeus, 1767: 596 (original description, primary homonym, not Ch. quadrimaculata Linnaeus, 1758: 376 , now in Phyllobrotica ). Coptocephala rubicunda var. massiliensis Pic, 1914b: 11 (original description). Coptocephala linnaeana Petitpierre &Alonso-Zarazaga, 2000:476 (new substitute name for Chrysomela quadrimaculata Linnaeus, 1767 ), syn. nov. Type localities. Chrysomela quadrimaculata : ‘ Germaniae saxosis’ [sic!; = Germany ,? Saxony ]. Coptocephala rubicunda var. massiliensis : ‘Marseille’. Type material examined. Chrysomela quadrimaculata : not examined.The photographs of a lectotype ( ♀ , designated by RAPILLY 1981 ), labelled:‘4-maculata [w, h] // 77 [w, p]’ and 1 paralectotype ( ♀ ), without any labels, both deposited in The Linnean Society, London, UK, are available at http://linnean-online.org/view/collection/insects/index.C.html. Coptocephala rubicunda var. massiliensis : SYNTYPE : 1 ♂ , ‘ Marseille [w, p] // type [w, h] // rubicunda / v. massiliensis Pic [w, h] // TYPE [r, p]’ ( MNHN – coll. Pic ). Distribution. France , Germany , Italy , Spain ( REGALIN & MEDVEDEV 2010b sub Coptocephala linnaeana ). Comments. The identity of C. quadrimaculata was ħxed by lectotype designation (RAPIL- LY 1981). As Chrysomela quadrimaculata Linnaeus, 1767 is a primary homonym of Ch. quadrimaculata Linnaeus, 1758 (now Phyllobrotica quadrimaculata ), a new substitute name C. linnaeana was proposed by PETITPIERRE & ALONSO- ZARAZAGA (2000). Examination of a syntype of C. rubicunda var. massiliensis showed that it is conspeciħc with Ch. quadrimaculata Linnaeus, 1767 . As var. massiliensis is the oldest available name it is elevated here to species rank, and C. linnaeana is proposed as its new junior subjective synonym.
