Identity of species-group taxa of the Western Palaearctic Clytrini (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) described by Maurice Pic and Louis Kocher Author Bezdċk, Jan Author Regalin, Renato text Acta Entomologica Musei Nationalis Pragae 2015 suppl. 2015-10-15 55 1 114 journal article 9543 10.5281/zenodo.4272771 77c874cd-4f85-4746-8466-3ca09e2c2b8d 0374-1036 4272771 urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:A431893C-11D8-4480-ABE1-BB65A823C734 Coptocephala scopolina kuesteri Kraatz, 1872 Coptocephala melanocephala Küster, 1847: 100 (original description, secondary homonym, not Clytra melanocephala Olivier, 1808 , now in Coptocephala ). Coptocephala kuesteri Kraatz, 1872: 230 (new substitute name for Coptocephala melanocephala Küster, 1847 ). Coptocephala melanocephala var. andalusiaca Pic, 1918c: 17 (unavailable infrasubspeciħc name). Type localities. Coptocephala melanocephala : ‘bei Trau in Dalmatien’ [= Croatia , Trogir]. Coptocephala melanocephala var. andalusiaca : ‘Andalousie’ [patria falsa]. Type material examined. Coptocephala melanocephala : not examined. Original material of infrasubspeciħc entity. Coptocephala melanocephala var. andalusiaca : 1 ♂ , ‘Andalus [w, h] // type [w, h] // TYPE [r, p] // Muséum Paris / Coll. M. Pic [w, h] // v. andalusiaca Pic [b, h] // v. andalusiaca / Pic [w, h] // Coptocephala / küsteri Kraatz [h] / M. Rapilly dét. 19 [p] 80 [w, h]’ ( MNHN – coll. generale). Distribution. Croatia , Italy , Serbia , Slovenia , Switzerland ( REGALIN & MEDVEDEV 2010b ). Comments. Coptocephala melanocephala var. andalusiaca was described in a paper containing also a description of a subspecies ( PIC 1918c ), thus it became infrasubspeciħc according to Article 45.6.4 of the Code ( ICZN 1999 ). Coptocephala scopolina kuesteri is distributed in Italy and former Yugoslavia (e.g. WARCHA Ł OWSKI 1991 , REGALIN & MEDVEDEV 2010b ). We agree with the late Michel Rapilly who dissected the original male specimen of var. andalusiaca and identiħed it as C. scopolina kuesteri . As Andalusia ( Spain ) is placed far from the distribution range of C. scopolina kuesteri we think that the original specimen of var. andalusiaca was mislabelled.
