Ordo: Coleoptera
Familia: Buprestidae
Genus: Sanchezia
Name
Sanchezia bucki (Cobos, 1956) comb. n. – Wikispecies link – Pensoft Profile
- Anthaxia (Cylindrophora) bucki Cobos, 1956: 162. Type locality: Brasil, Porto Alegre.
- Anthaxia (Bilyaxia) bucki: Bílý 1997[1]: 16, 54 (catalogue);
- Bilyaxia bucki: Bílý 2004[2]: 8 (taxonomy, synonymy); Bellamy 2008[3]: 1495 (catalogue);
- Anthaxia (Cylindrophora) kafkai Bílý, 1996: 28. Type locality: Argentina, Entre Rios, Pronunciamiento.
- Anthaxia (Cylindrophora) kafkai: Bílý 1997[1]: 26, 83 (catalogue); 1999[4]: 236 (catalogue); 2004[2]: 8 (synonym of bucki); Bellamy 2008[3]: 1495 (catalogue, as syn. of bucki).
Type specimens studied
Anthaxia bucki: Holotype (female, MNCN): “Porto Alegre[h]// Anthaxia (Cylindrophora) bucki sp. n.[h] Dr. A. Cobos det.[p]”; Anthaxia kafkai: Holotype (male, NMPC): “Argentina, Entre Rios, Pronunciamiento, ix.1992[p]”.
Further specimen studied
BRASIL: “RS [main road] Canela, 22.ix.1985, leg. G. Scherer[p]” (1 female, NMPC).
No difference was observed between the sexes. It was impossible to study the variability of this species since only one specimen was found in the collections, except for the type specimens.
Length: 5.7–7.0 mm; width: 2.2–2.4 mm.
Distribution
Argentina, Brasil.
Note
Also Cobos (1956)[5] stressed in his description the strange appearence of this species and attributed it to Anthaxia with strong doubts. Sanchezia bucki and Charlesina mrazi are further Neotropical species of Buprestidae mimicking Lycidae. As far as I know, there are only some species of the genus Agrilus (Agrilus dilaticornis Kerremans, 1897 species-group) and Chilean species Philandia valdiviana (Philippi & Philippi, 1860) mimicking Lycid beetles.
