Ok, it is not a Chelidonium.
It is a female of Aphrodisium or Chloridolum. |

I think it is an Aromiella... but I check in the moment the HT of Aromiella fruhstorferi Podany, 1971.
Bill... have your specimens yellow epipleura?

| It's all dark on the underside. Pro and mesotibia have yellow hairs on the apical 1/4 on the underside and the hind tarsi also have yellowish hairs on the underside. |

Hello Bill
pictures of Aromiella niisatoi you can see here.
The HT of Aromiella fruhstorferi Podany, 1971 has not yellow epipleura!
I have seen in the last time ca. 50 ex. from Vietnam, Laos (15 ex. from the typ. loc. of A. niisatoi!), Thailand and Myanmar. Mostly of them with yellow epipleura. But also spec. without yellow epipleura from the same location (Laos, Vietnam)!!!
I can not find differences, also in genital morphology.
So, I think A. niisatoi is probable A. fruhstorferi!
For this time is your spec. Aromiella fruhstorferi Podany, 1971. |
