Can anybody explain (better if add keys or pictures) to separate Chlorophorus glaucus, glabromaculatus and pilosus???
Thank you very much! |

According to Sama, who claimed to have seen the type of Leptura pilosa, this species belongs to Vadonia unipunctata (a black form). This synonym was not made official yet (in this case, it will affect on the ssp. occidentalis).
The valid name of C. pilosus Auct is, consequently, C. glabromaculatus.
According to Sama, the forms showing grey females (and yellow males, actually identical to glabromaculatus) should be referred to Callidium glaucum Fabricius, 1781... a very problematic statment, since this species was described from... India! 
Always according to Sama, these two forms are two different species, since both present in Sardinia and Provence... actually, both found in the international harbors of Cagliari and Marseille. Evidently, Sama ignores completely the well-known introduction of this species in foreign countries.
This topic, already published in my PhD-Thesis, will be published in a book concerning the Cerambycidae of Luxembourg in spring. |

| Francesco, tu peux ajouter à cela le fait que glabromaculatus n'a visiblement pas de localité typique et que la dérivatio nominis de glabromaculatus sous-entend des macules glabres. Critère qui semble avoir été depuis totalement négligé. Mais j'imagine aisément que tu l'a relevé. |

Tout à fait!
In order to complete this topic, I insert Olivier's drawing of the type of Callidium glaucus:
Callidium glaucus from India, in Olivier, 1808, Pl. 70, Fig. 68
As you can see, this species has nothing to do with the grey subspecies of Chlorophorus glabromaculatus.
None of the known varieties with grey pattern corresponds to this species.
