Posted - 23/05/2016 : 19:26:26 I think I rushed with emotions. The pronotal ridge of my blue Sternotomis (I got it a long time ago as S. bohemani ferreti) not so curved and differently shaped as ones on Sergi`s foto.. I guess my beetles is normal S. bohemani.

Posted - 21/05/2016 : 11:49:00 For more indication, here you have a comparison between the two species: mathildae left and bohemani right. As you can see, there is a difference on the shape of anterior pronotal ring (more incurved in the one of mathildae) and on the shoulder carinae.

Posted - 21/05/2016 : 08:58:49 Ok Claude, I will determine this species with the name Sternotomis mathildae momentarily. |

Posted - 20/05/2016 : 11:50:21 It's more probably S. mathildae know in Camerun, Bohemani is widespread on the South of Africa (Tanzanie, Namibie, etc..). The pattern of these species are very close. |

Posted - 20/05/2016 : 08:38:28 Thanks Carlo for both determinations.
One question, Sternotomis mathildae Allard, 1993, not is correct for this species???? |

Posted - 19/05/2016 : 22:24:42 Maybe Sternotomis bohemani Chevrolat |
