Type localities Buprestis unifasciata : Carniolia [= Slovenia , based on title]; Cryptocephalus melanocephalus : not stated. Material examined COUNTRY UNKNOWN • ♀ , holotype of Cryptocephalus melanocephalus ; “ Uppsala Univ. Zool. Mus . / Thunbergsaml. nr. 8198 / Clythra bimaculata / melanoceph . TYP [r, p] // 2-maculata . / melanoceph . 13 [box label, w, h]”; UUZM . Distribution Europe (except northern part), Turkey , Kazakhstan , Mongolia ( Regalin & Medvedev 2010 ). Comments The holotype of Cryptocephalus melanocephalus is a female of Coptocephala . Although the identification of Coptocephala females is usually very complicated, the colouration of the head (black with orange labrum), elytra (two broad transverse metallic bands on each elytron) and legs (orange with dark basal halves of meso- and metafemora) is typical of the common European C. unifasciata unifasciata . As I see no differences between long series of C. unifasciata unifasciata and the holotype of Cryptocephalus melanocephalus , I propose a new synonymy: C. unifasciata unifasciata ( Scopoli, 1763 ) = Cryptocephalus melanocephalus Thunberg, 1787 syn. nov.
