Hello all.
I've had difficulty trying to post images lately, hopefully thanks to Xavier I have fixed the problem (just renaming files with no spaces has worked, thank you!)
I feel I should know this species but cannot quite pin it down.
Data: 25-04-14 - Mt Dayaoshan 700m - Pingban - Jinxiu - Guangxi - China - 16.5mm
Thanks |

Yes, looks good. I have had a closer look at it. I thought it was greased up but it appears not as I have de-greased it and it is still the same hue, must be a dark form.
Thanks. |

In Titan database valid name of Monochamus dubius Gahan is Monochamus sparsutus Fairmaire, 1889.
To compare to specimen here which have bigger spots than yours (see also others specimens in the forum). We need to see the holotype of this species, and others of small Monochamus species.
I wait a little to go to Paris... |

| For me, I suppose it is real typical Monochamus sparsutus (Fairmaire, 1889) |

We have 2 holotypes pictures from MNHN of M sparsutus in the forum (type section), and it should be ok.
But on picture, there is always a doubt.... |

Indeed, We need to check more specimens.
Xavier, I have a question in Titan I don't know why it regards Monochamus dubius (Gahan, 1894) as a synonym of Monochamus sparsutus (Fairmaire, 1889) |

Dear Mono,
For the synonym dubius/sparsutus:
- It is not by Breuning (1970, Laos fauna): M. dubius still exist
So, it should be in PU Fuji, 1992. Insects of the Hengduan Mountains Region, Volume 1. The Comprehensive Scientific Expedition to the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau. Coleoptera: Disteniidae and Cerambycidae. Science Press, Beijing, 5: xii + 1-865.
or in HUA Li-Zhong, 2002. List of Chinese Insects. Zhongshan (Sun Yat-sen) University Press, Guangzhou. List of Chinese Insects 2: 1-612.
I have none of those 2 text, so I can not check anything, sorry. |
