Taxonavigation

Ordo: Coleoptera
Familia: Chrysomelidae

Name

Amphimela Chapuis, 1875 – Wikispecies link – Pensoft Profile

References

Chapuis 1875[5]: 34; Baly 1875[6]: 27; 1876b[7]: 582; Jacoby 1897[8]: 553, 559; 1899b[9]: 357; Fairmaire 1898[10]: 428; Weise 1901[11]: 303; Maulik 1929[12]: 307 (as Diboloides); Csiki in Heikertinger and Csiki 1940[4]: 418; Bechyné 1958c[13]: 10; Scherer 1961[1]: 252; Biondi and D’Alessandro 2010a[2]: 403.

Type species

Amphimela: Amphimela mouhoti Chapuis, 1875: 36 (Indonesia), designation by monotypy; Cercyonia: Cercyonia variabilis Weise, 1901: 303 (Tanzania: Bagamojo, Kunow), designation by monotypy; Diboloides: Diboloides bicolor Jacoby, 1897: 553 (Mashonaland), designation by monotypy; Dibolosoma: Dibolosoma quadripustulatum Jacoby, 1897: 560 (Madagascar: Diego-Suarez), designation by monotypy; Halticella: Halticella flavopustulata Jacoby, 1899b: 357 (Natal, Frere), designation by monotypy; Halticova: Halticova rufoguttata Fairmaire, 1898: 428 (Madagascar), designation by monotypy; Sphaerophysa: Sphaerophysa clavicornis Baly, 1876b: 582 (Madagascar), designation by monotypy.

Distribution

Afrotropical (including Madagascar), Australian, Eastern Palaearctic and Oriental regions (Fig. 284).

Ecology

Amphimela bryanti (Csiki in Heikertinger and Csiki 1940[4]) on Bersama sp. (Melianthaceae) in Uganda (Bryant 1936[14], as Cercyonia quadrinotata Bryant 1936[14]: 218); Amphimela citri (Bryant 1922: 474) cited as a harmful pest of citrus in West Africa (Bryant 1922a[15]).

Notes

About thirty-five species have been described in the Afrotropical region. Bechyné (1964[16]: 161) established the synonymy between Dibolosoma quadripustulatum Jacoby, 1897 [as 4-punctata (sic!)] and Halticova rufoguttata Fairmaire, 1898; while Weise (1910b[17]: 496) established the synonymy between Sphaerophysa Baly and Dibolosoma Jacoby. Moreover, there are no important diagnostic characters distinguishing Sphaerophysa from Amphimela, this latter characterized by a wide variability in the Afrotropical region. Therefore, the following new synonymy is proposed: Amphimela Chapuis, 1875 = Sphaerophysa Baly, 1876b syn. n. Material examined: Sphaerophysa clavicornis Baly (det. J. Bechyné), “Madagascar, Tananarive”, 2 specimens (NMPC).
