Crescentic striolae becoming denser and somewhat continuous laterally and posteriorly. Surface between crescentic striolae (Figures 5B, 6B) doubly punctate, with very fine, close punctures and medium, very sparse punctures (the latter bearing short, peg-like setae); also with fine, obsolete, open reticulation, usually more evident in apical two thirds, and more evident in some specimens than others.

Variation. The size and density of the crescentic striolae on the elytra differs somewhat between individuals and localities (Figures 5B, 7B, D, 8B, D, 18A, 21, 22), these being relatively dense in mainland Italy, Corsica and the Tuscan archipelago, and less so in most Sardinian specimens (e.g. Figure 22). The combination of size and density of these striolae is always greater than seen in

in the Italian peninsula. The exact limits of the distribution of the two species in peninsular Italy remain unclear (see above), but there is morphological evidence suggesting hybridization where they meet, at least in the south (see below). The contact zone between the two species in the north appears to be situated on the Mediterranean coast, somewhere close to the French-Italian border, but to date no intermediate specimens have been seen from this area. Clearly future work, using both genetic and morphological approaches, would be illuminating in understanding the location and dynamics of these contact zones. As with other extant
