Ordo: Coleoptera
Familia: Buprestidae
Genus: Cobosina
Name
Cobosina willineri (Cobos, 1972) comb. n. – Wikispecies link – Pensoft Profile
- Anthaxia (Cylindrophora) willineri Cobos, 1972: 224. Type locality: Argentina, Valle Fértil, Prov. San Juan.
- Anthaxia (Bilyaxia) willineri: Bílý 1997[1]: 39, 128 (catalogue); Bellamy 2008[2]: 1497 (catalogue).
Type specimen studied
Holotype by monotypy (♀, MNCN): “[Argentina]Valle Fértil, San Juan, Rvdo. P. G. Williner coll., 5-6.xi.1970[p]”.
Further specimen studied
“Brasil, Catamarca, 6 km N Belém, 1240 m[h]” (1♂, NMPC).
Note
The species was formally attributed tothe genus Bilyaxia by Bílý (2004)[3]. Already in the original description (Cobos, 1972[4]) noted that this species is an extraordinary and isolated element of the Neotropical Anthaxiini being very similar to the European species of the Anthaxia (Anthaxia) funerula Illiger, 1803 species-group. After having studied the holotype and further, male specimen of this species from NMPC I found that Anthaxia (Bilyaxia) willineri ought to be removed from Bilyaxia, and a new genus should be proposed for this species.
I failed to find any difference between the sexes and also no significant variability since only two specimens were available for study.
Length: 4.2–4.4 mm; width: 1.4–1.5 mm.
Distribution
Argentina (Prov. San Juan); Brasil (Prov.Catamarca), new country record.
