Taeniodera nigricollis (Janson, 1881)

Merci,j'ai bon donc.

According to Krajcik (2010), Taeniodera nigricollis (Janson) has long been confused with a new species recently described from northern Vietnam, including Tam Dao.  The species figured should be Taeniodera miksiciana Krajcik, 2010.

From Krajcik (2010):  “Arrow (1910), Paulian (1960, 1961) and also Miksic (1976) misidentified T. nigricollis Janson (endemic in NE India) with T. miksiciana sp. nov.”

Taeniodera miksiciana sp. nov.:

Description. Holotype ♂. Length 14.1 mm; maximum humeral width 7.9mm. Extremely similar to Taeniodera nigricollis (Janson) described from Assam (Holotype is preserved in RMNH). New species differs in shape of pronotum (pronotum in males of miksiciana sp. nov. broader), in different elytral marking (V-shaped elytral spot is reduced or missing in males of miksiciana sp. nov.), and mainly in different shape of parameres (parameres of T. nigricollis laterally more distinctly pointed (Fig. 5).

Reference: Krajcik, M. 2010.  Two new species of the genus Taeniodera Burmeister from SE Asia (Coleoptera, Scarabaeidae, Cetoniinae). Animma.X. 35:1-7.

Merci alandmor,très bonne information.  

No problem.  I had my specimens from Vietnam identified as T. nigricollis Janson also until recently!
