14 mm, Crocker Range, Sabah, Borneo.
Chloridolum gontrani Bentanachs, Vives & Chew, 2012 reconnaissable à son pronotum rugueux aux 2 taches bleues triangulaires disjointes (Cerambycidae de Bornéo-I, 2012, pages 32-33; page 91, ill. 25 et 25a).
Nouvelle espèce pour le forum. |

Authors of C. gontrani should be "Bentanachs, Vives & Bosuang" (He changed his name 2 years ago) 
I think there is still some difficulties in separating some Bornean Chloridolum. But the work done by Bentanachs is helpful,
Attached is a closeup of pronotum of C. gontrani. |

| Thank you. Comparing the shape of the pronotum it's the same species. |

Hello Dan
Is the image of the pronotum from a Type? Unfortunately I have not the original description. |

| yes, the image of the pronotum is from the type. Joan Bentanachs sent me some images via email. the published images are very difficult to use |

Danke, Dan. Ich habe nicht sehr viele Callichromatini aus Borneo bisher untersuchen dürfen, aber hier mal drei genitalmorphologisch deutlich verschiedene Arten mit ähnlich gestaltetem Pronotum. Ich denke die oben abgebildete Art und auch die beschriebene Chloridolum gontrani gehöhren zu einer Gruppe von Arten, welche morphologisch meiner Meinung nach nicht zu unterscheiden sind. Auch die Untersuchung des Aedeagus und der Parameren ist nicht ausreichend! Chloridolum cyaneonotatum Pic gehöhrt wohl auch in diese Gruppe.
