From China, Sichuan.
Sizes: 16-17 mm respectively.
Maybe Grammographus notabilis cuneatus (Fairmaire, 1888)???? |

| I still don't understand how to separe Demonax nigromaculatus Gahan, 1906 / Demonax oblongomaculatus Gahan, 1906 / Grammographus notabilis cuneatus (Fairmaire, 1888) etc |

In Base Titan Demonax notabilis is synonym of Grammographus notabilis. |

| Naturally, Grammographus is a well-known synonym of Demonax, as already explained here. |

Naturally, for the simple reason that the type-species (Grammographus lineatus Chevrolat, 1863) was synonymised with Demonax.
All entomologists agree on this point for more than one century, as the same Titan base shows (here).
Then, if Mr. Tavakilian, on his own initiative, autonomously decides to conserve Grammophorus as a good genus, he must publish a paper supporting this statement.
Otherwise, the officially recognized name remains Demonax notabilis. |

I'd only add that Grammographus lineatus does not belong to the species-group of Demonax notabilis either but to a group of species with 3 black lines, which nobody considers as Grammographus (see BioLib).
Grammographus lineatus Chevrolat, 1863 in Gahan (1906)
On the contrary, the species of the group notabilis shows a pattern made of small triangles. |

G. Tavakilian change right now Grammographus -> Demonax for this species.
It was just a mistake.
To see the modification, we have to wait the next version updated. |

Now it is a mistake.
No published paper supports the revalidation of Grammographus!  |
