Type localities
Tenebrio laevigatus: “Africa” [wrong type locality]. Chrysomela tenebricosa: “Europa australiori”.
Type material
Tenebrio laevigatus: Lectotype (♀, designated herein, Fig. 23): “laevigatus [h, probably by Linnaeus] // 29 [p]” (LSUK, code LINN 6578). Examined by one of us (MAAZ), images are also available at http://linnean-online.org/23903/.
Chrysomela tenebricosa: not examined. Syntypes (1 ♂, 1♀, Fig. 24) (ZMUK) were examined from photographs. Minelli and Vittorelli (1976)[34] designated in litteris (1974) the male as the “lectoholotypus”, the female as the “lectoallotypus”. Here we formally designate the male as lectotype (Fig. 24a–c), and the female as paralectotype (Fig. 24d–f).
Comments
The lectotype of T. laevigata (L.), a female (Fig. 23), has the pronotum and elytra finely and regularly punctured, the mesoventrite protruding and slightly bituberculated, and the metatarsus setose with the vestiture formula (1, 1/2, 1/3) (Fig. 23d); this perfectly fits specimens of the well-known European T. tenebricosa. On the other hand, females of Timarcha laevigata auct. nec Linnaeus, 1767 from North Africa, i.e. T. turbida Erichson, 1841: 189, or even T. punctella Marseul, 1871: 387, are different in that they have a pronotum with finer punctures, the mesoventrite very scarcely protruding and slightly emarginated but not bituberculate, and the female metatarsus with a large glabrous strip underside and a vestiture formula (1, 1, ½–¾) (T. turbida) or (1,1,1) (T. punctella).
As the name Timarcha laevigata, in the sense here fixed as a synonym of T. tenebricosa, has at least one usage since 1899 (in Apfelbeck 1907[55]: 500, 502, 506), one of the two conditions required by International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (1999, Art. 23.9.1.1) for reversal of precedence is not accomplished. Besides, the name T. laevigata, although wrongly applied to a North African species, has been profusely used until now (see e.g. Gómez-Zurita and Kippenberg 2010[40]; Warchałowski 2010[39]). An application has been submitted to the International Commission of Zoological Nomenclature (Vela et al. 2018[56]) to maintain usage of T. tenebricosa as a valid species. The type species of Timarcha Samouelle is Chrysomela tenebricosaFabricius 1775[5], by subsequent designation by Chevrolat (1843: 655 in Löbl and Smetana 2011[57]: 50).
Diagnosis
Males: 14.6–17.2 mm; females: 16.1–18.2 mm (lectotype of Tenebrio laevigata = 17.5 mm; Fig. 23). Black or with bluish luster. Surface microreticulate, with a dull aspect (Fig. 25). Pronotum subcordiform, or cordiform, usually widest at the anterior 1/3, completely rebordered by a fine furrow, sides regularly curved. However, there is a much variation in the form of pronotum (Fig. 26), and the lateral sides near the base may be straight (Fig. 26a, d), sinuate (Fig. 26b), or both straight and sinuate (e.g. left side straight, right side sinuate; Fig. 26c). Puncturation on pronotum (Fig. 26) and elytra dense, regular, moderately marked, on a smooth surface never vermiculate. Mesoventrite with apophysis somewhat protruding, more or less emarginate, sometimes slightly bituberculate. Vestiture tarsal formulae: ♂♂ (0,0,0; 0,0,0; 1/3–1/2,0,0), ♀♀ (1/2,0,0; 1/2–3/4,0–1/2,0–1/2; 3/4–1,1/3–1/2,1/3–1/2). Aedeagus variable but always with paddle-shaped at the apex in dorsal view and strongly curved with sinuate apex in lateral view (Fig. 27). Sclerites of the internal sac of aedeagus with a long, curved flagellum that is somewhat widened before the apex in dorso-lateral view (Fig. 28); the phanera consist in two paired wings elongated and curved. The inflated endophallus is shown in Figure 29 (see also Petitpierre and Anichtchenko 2018[41]: fig. 3). Thirteen subspecies have been described (Bechynĕ 1945b[26], 1948[58]; Müller 1952[28]), whose taxonomic status is very doubtful (Minelli and Vitorelli 1976[34]; Warchałowski 2010[39]).
Distribution
Most of Europe, from northern Spain to Great Britain and Ireland, eastwards to Georgia, Azerbaijan, and Asiatic Turkey; not recorded in Scandinavia (Gómez-Zurita and Kippenberg 2010[40]).
Host plants
On Rubiaceae: Asperula cynanchica L., Cruciata laevipes Opiz, Galium aparine L., G. mollugo L., G. parisiense (L.), G. verum L., Rubia peregrina L. (Jolivet and Petitpierre 1973[59]; Winkelman and Debreuil 2008[37]).
