Posted - 10/11/2019 : 15:25:20 Faisant mes photos en lumière naturelle, je te fais cela aussitôt que le temps le permet. En ce qui concerne le dessous de mes ex., ils ont effectivement une bande latérale claire assez étroite (échancrée dans la partie centrale). |

Posted - 09/11/2019 : 12:11:01 Bonjour Claude, peux-tu faire une photo du dessous ? La bête de Morotai n'a pas du tout de blanc en dessous. J'ai aussi une femelle de Batocera aeneonigra Thomson, 1859 de Bacan. |

Indonésie, île de Morotai, taille 53 mm
Bonjour, je pense qu'il faudrait creuser un peu, je ne crois pas que ce Batocera soit la même que Batocera aeneonigra. |

Posted - 23/05/2018 : 15:43:09 Pascoe described Batocera orpheus Pascoe, 1866 (syntypes from the islands of Morotai, Bacan, Ternate). Rigout (1981) considered this to be a synonym of B. aeneonigra, however, he did not present a photograph. So, it would be nice to see what some of Pascoe's syntypes look like. For those not familiar with Ebay sellers, many of them can (and do) mis-represent the identify of the species which they sell in order to get a lot more money. |

Posted - 30/04/2018 : 05:32:16 I have been watching those listings as well. The only reference online for the species is at Coleoptera-Atlas.com: http://www.coleoptera-atlas.com/cerambycidae-chrysomeloidea/lamiinae/batocerini/batocera/article/batocera-bourdonei
On this same website, there is listed Batocera aeneonigra cf. melanic - also from Morotai with a maximum length of 66 mm, as stated for Batocera bourdonei. Looks a lot like a poorly marked aeneonigra to me, but - despite my love for the genus - I'm no expert on Batocera...
