We know that after the death of Kiesenwetter, part of his collection was acquired by C. Muller, and subsequently it was eventually deposited in the ZSMG. It is hard to say when and whom may have decided to consider the specimen in question as the holotype of the species. We can be quite sure though, that this was not done by Kiesenwetter or by Muller, because comparing the original labelling with samples of their respective handwriting (

In the study of the morphology of the species belonging to this group, we noticed substantial differences in the aedeagus of the various taxa. We usually consider the shape of male genitalia as the principal character to distinguish the different species in many species-groups.

The great ambiguity that has reigned over this taxon is because the specimen is actually an aberrant dark individual. Indeed, its dark colouration is one of the reasons that induced Sakalian to raise this taxon to the rank of species, together with additional characters like the narrower head vertex, the supposed lack of the green scutellar patch, the shape of the apex of median lobe, and the singular distribution. Indeed, although more consistent in the Balkan and Turkish species, the slightly narrower head vertex is found within the intraspecific variability that we observed in all species of the group. The dark colouration, and the less evident scutellar green patch, which is anyhow present, are obviously due to the fact that it is a melanic specimen. Melanic specimens are known also from Southern France (

), and may potentially occur anywhere, probably depending on the temperature conditions during the pupation of single specimens. This also explains the unique distribution emphasized by Sakalian, actually a single record from a single locality. Regarding the different morphology of the penis, Sakalian was probably misled by a wrong evaluation of the genitalia. In fact, a careful examination of the penis, after its separation from the tegmen, led us to verify that the apex is not differently shaped as stated by Sakalian, but simply damaged (

In addition, the normal chromatic pattern of this species, although slightly variable, also presents a difference of specific importance in the shape of the green basal macula of the elytra, as already observed by

The sutural part instead is conspicuous and more consistent, differently expanded at the apex, depending on the species. We have also observed that the more we move eastward, following the line of distribution, the more the sutural part of the green spot takes on a strongly divergent shape at the apex. Infact,

for the Italian populations, in all species the egg deposition occurs in April / May, and the larva feeds under the thick bark for at least one year, until the next spring, when it digs a rather deep pupal cell. The adult is usually completely formed already during the summer, but stays in its pupal cell until the next spring, thus passing a second winter in the wood, and emerging after two years from the egg deposition.

This may be a mechanism of defense against extreme natural events that may put at risk the survival of the entire population, as well for a genetic reshuffling as to avoid the split into separate and different biennial species. For this reason, larvae of different age are usually found to share the same branch. The duration of life cycle is probably the same also for species living in dry and hot biotopes, like in Iran.</paragraph>

Adults usually emerge as early as late April, and can be found until mid-June. However, in the last decades, likely because of drastic climate changes, they have also been occasionally found in the warmest days of winter, as early as February. Adults are rather elusive, and can be seen almost exclusively on warm sunny days, mostly in the late morning. After this time, they usually stay hidden under the bark of dead branches.

In fact, in most previous works, the few formerly known species of this group have been treated as relict species in danger of extinction, because of their presumed scarcity in nature.

species-group survived, especially in the Maghreb, and in southern parts of Spain, Italy and Balkans. Southern Turkey and Iran however, seem to have been less influenced by the decrease in temperatures. Having been temporarily pushed so far south, the original continuous distribution of the ancient ancestor was broken up, and with the melting of glaciers, and the consequent rise in sea level, the Balkan populations have remained isolated, especially from the Western Mediterranean ones, giving raise to the differentiation into the different species treated in this work.
