No, Pteroplini: female of Daxata (Taxada) sumatrensis von Breuning, 1961. Cf. here a picture of two males. |

Your specimen looks very much like the type of Daxata camelus. |

Interesting! Pascoe's type does not seem to exactly correspond to the original drawing he himself provided.
According to Breuning, D. camelus (from Borneo) had 2 transversal bands; hence, he described the species with only one band as D. sumatrensis. Probably... no: in all likelihood, Breuning knew this drawing but not the type. Another synonymy, Dan?![](images/icon_smile_wink.gif) (Many thank for your picture! )

I believe D. sumatrensis must be a synonym, too. And some of Pascoe's illustration are not very good. |

Hello everyone. Following on this topic, Is this Daxata camelus? or sumatrensis, i'm assuming that it is sumatrensis with just one transversal band.

Try again for the picture, without any "space" in the title. |

In my opinion it must be D. camelus.
As stated before, the type in BMNH does not match the hand painted drawing in Pascoe's Longicornia. Furthermore, Breuning frequently made statements that are difficult to understand, so his holotypes, more than anyone else, have to be looked at.
These cryptically colored Pteropliini and Mesosini almost always show some variation in the patterns on the elytra, especially in the darkness or lightness of the patterns.
D. camelus is a very common species, so I have seen some variation in the width of the elytral band, etc.
Ben, you should visit the collection at the BMNH if you have not already done so. I'm sure they have a nice series of Daxata.

Yes I must indeed go back to the museum one day and study the holotypes there. Thanks, the picture is now up for you to see. |
