Abstract. Based on the study of primary type material, the following taxonomic changes in West Palaearctic Chrysomelidae are proposed: Chilotomina moroderi moroderi (Escalera, 1928) = Gynandrophthalma moroderi Cobos, 1969, syn. n.; Cryptocephalus (Burlinius) macellus Suffrian, 1860 = C. zantensis Pic, 1953, syn. n.; Chrysolina (Bittotaenia) salviae (Sahlberg, 1823) = Chrysomela salviae Germar, 1823, syn. n.; Timarcha geniculata (Sahlberg, 1823) = Chrysomela geniculata Germar, 1823, syn. n.; Calomicrus lividus (Joannis, 1865) = Calomicrus trabzonus Lopatin et Nesterova, 2013, syn. n.; Euluperus azureus (Fairmaire, 1884), comb. n. (from Calomicrus) = Euluperus hermonensis Lopatin, 1997, syn. n.; Euluperus nairicus (Lopatin, 1990), comb. n. (from Calomicrus); Exosoma gaudionis (Reiche, 1862) = Exosoma thoracica var. grossepunctata Roubal, 1931, syn. n.; Exosoma lusitanicum (Linnaeus, 1767) = Malacosoma theryi Guillebeau, 1897, syn. n.; Monolepta syriaca (Weise, 1924), comb. n. (from Calomicrus) = Calomicrus volkovitshi Lopatin et Nesterova, 2013, syn. n.; Theone silphoides silphoides (Sahlberg, 1823) = Galleruca silphoides Dalman, 1823, syn. n.; Derocrepis rufipes (Linnaeus, 1758) = Chrysomela caeruleostriata DeGeer, 1775, syn. n. Moreover, Gynandrophthalma transsylvanica Frivaldszky, 1883 is confirmed as synonym of Smaragdina salicina (Scopoli, 1763) and Chrysomela plantaginis DeGeer, 1775 is confirmed as synonym of Phaedon armoraciae (Linnaeus, 1758). It is shown that Carolus Reginald Sahlberg published the oldest descriptions of Chrysolina salviae (Germar, 1823), Timarcha geniculata (Germar, 1823) and Theone silphoides silphoides (Dalman, 1823) and the authorship of these species is changed. Lectotypes are designated for

Luperus azureus Fairmaire, 1884 and Luperus brevicollis Weise, 1898. New country records for West Palaearctic Chrysomelidae (with special regards to Mediterranean fauna) are presented.
Резюме. На основании изучения типового материала предложены следующие таксономические изменения для западнопалеарктических Chrysomelidae: Chilotomina moroderi moroderi (Escalera, 1928) =
= Gynandrophthalma moroderi Cobos, 1969, syn. n.;
Cryptocephalus (Burlinius) macellus Suffrian, 1860 =
= C. zantensis Pic, 1953, syn. n.; Chrysolina (Bittotaenia) salviae (Sahlberg, 1823) = Chrysomela salviae Germar, 1823, syn. n.; Timarcha geniculata (Sahlberg, 1823) =
= Chrysomela geniculata Germar, 1823, syn. n.; Calomicrus lividus (Joannis, 1865) = Calomicrus trabzonus Lopatin et Nesterova, 2013, syn. n.; Euluperus azureus (Fairmaire, 1884), comb. n. (from Calomicrus) = Euluperus hermonensis Lopatin, 1997, syn. n.; Euluperus nairicus (Lopatin, 1990), comb. n. (from Calomicrus); Exosoma gaudionis (Reiche, 1862) = Exosoma thoracica var. grossepunctata Roubal, 1931, syn. n.; Exosoma lusitanicum (Linnaeus, 1767) = Malacosoma theryi Guillebeau, 1897, syn. n.; Monolepta syriaca (Weise, 1924), comb. n. (from Calomicrus) = Calomicrus volkovitshi Lopatin et Nesterova, 2013, syn. n.; Theone silphoides silphoides (Sahlberg, 1823) = Galleruca silphoides Dalman, 1823, syn. n.; Derocrepis rufipes (Linnaeus, 1758) = Chrysomela caeruleostriata DeGeer, 1775, syn. n. Подтверждена синонимия названий Gynandrophthalma transsylvanica Frivaldszky, 1883 и Smaragdina salicina (Scopoli, 1763), Chrysomela plantaginis DeGeer, 1775 и Phaedon armoraciae (Linnaeus, 1758). Показано, что Карл
Рейнгольд Сальберг опубликовал старейшие описания видов Chrysolina salviae (Germar, 1823), Timarcha geniculata (Germar, 1823) и Theone silphoides silphoides (Dalman, 1823), поэтому авторство этих таксонов было изменено на С. Sahlberg. Обозначены лектотипы Luperus azureus Fairmaire, 1884 и Luperus brevicollis Weise, 1898. Представлены новые указания и находки западнопалеарктических Chrysomelidae для различных стран (с особым вниманием к средиземноморской фауне).
An ongoing longterm study of the primary type material of Old World Chrysomelidae revealed to some nomenclatorial changes in the West Palaearctic (particularly Mediterranean) taxa summarized in the present paper. In connection with the preparation of the new edition of the Palaearctic catalogue of Chrysomelidae, I present also some new country records of West Palaearctic Chrysomelidae.
Photographs of the specimens (except that of Chrysomela caeruleo-striata DeGeer, 1775 provided by NHRS) were taken with Canon EOS 550D digital camera with Canon MP-E 65 mm objective. Images of the same specimen at different focal planes were combined using Helicon Focus 5.3 software.
The examined material is housed in the following collections:
HNHM – Hungarian Natural History Museum (Budapest, Hungary, Ottó Merkl);
JBCB – Jan Bezděk collection (Brno, Czech Republic);
MNHN – Museum National d’Histoire naturelle (Paris, France, Antoine Mantilleri);
NHRS – Naturhistoriska Riksmuseet (Stockholm, Sweden, Johannes Bergsten);
OKCZ – Ondřej Konvička collection (Zlín, Czech Republic);
SNMC – Slovenské Národné Múzeum (Bratislava, Slovak Republic, Vladimír Janský);
TSCO – Tomáš Sitek collection (Ostrava, Czech Republic);
ZIN – Zoological Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences (St Petersburg, Russia, Alexey G. Moseyko);
ZMHB – Museum für Naturkunde der Humboldt- Universität (Berlin, Germany, Johannes Frisch, Joachim Willers).
The exact label data are cited for all type specimens. Type localities are cited in the original spelling. Other comments and remarks: p – preceding data are printed, h – preceding data are handwritten, w – white label, r – red label, y – yellow label.
Chilotomina moroderi moroderi (Escalera, 1928)
Gynandrophthalma moroderi Escalera, 1928: 432.
Gynandrophthalma moroderi Cobos, 1969: 73, syn. n.
Type localities. Gynandrophthalma moroderi Escalera: not stated. Gynandrophthalma moroderi Cobos: “Tetica de Bacares, en Sierra de Filabres, provincia de Almería”.
Type material. Not examined.
Comments. In many European institutional collections the Reitter’s specimens labelled as type specimens of Gynandrophthalma moroderi can be found. However, Reitter never described such taxon and the authorship is assigned to Escalera [1928] who first gave its characters in the differential diagnosis of his newly described Gynandrophthalma alcarriense Escalera, 1928. Cobos [1961], who was still assigning Gynandrophthalma moroderi to Reitter, described Gynandrophthalma moroderi bacarescensis Cobos, 1961. Some years later, Cobos [1969] found that Reitter’s description does not exist and formally described Gynandrophthalma moroderi. Because Cobos’ [1969] Gynandrophthalma moroderi was based on concrete type specimens and the intention to described new species is clearly showed using “nov. sp.”, I formally synonymize here it with Escalera’s Gynandrophthalma moroderi. Recently, the species is classified in the genus Chilotomina Reitter, 1913 [e.g. Warchałowski, 2000, 2003, 2010; Regalin,
Medvedev, 2010].
Smaragdina salicina (Scopoli, 1763) (Fig. 7)
Buprestis salicina Scopoli, 1763: 65.
Gynandrophthalma transsylvanica Frivaldszky, 1883: 14,
For full list of synonyms see Regalin, Medvedev [2010].
Type localities: Buprestis salicina: “Carniolia” (based on title); Gynandrophthalma transsylvanica: “Transsylvania”.
Type material. Buprestis salicina: Not examined.
Gynandrophthalma transsylvanica: syntypes: 1♂ (HNHM),“Erdély” [= Transsylvania] (w, h), “Holotypus [red letters, p] 1883 Gynandrophthalma transsylvanica J. Frivaldszky [w, h]”, “Transsylvanica Friv.” (w, h); 1♂, 1♀ (HNHM),“Erdély” [= Transsylvania] (w, h), “Paratypus [red letters, p] 1883 Gynandrophthalma transsylvanica J. Frivaldszky” (w, h), “Transsylvanica Friv.” (w, h).
Gynandrophthalma transsylvanica was synonymized with Smaragdina salicina by Kaszab [1962]. Regalin and Medvedev [2010] also catalogued G. transsylvanica in synonymy with S. salicina but marked as doubtful assignement. I examined three syntypes of G. transsylvanica (Fig. 7) and I confirm it as synonym of S. salicina. The syntypes are covered with slight artificial sheen what probably led Frivaldszky to describe it as a new species.
Cryptocephalus (Burlinius) macellus Suffrian, 1860 (Fig. 8)
Cryptocephalus macellus Suffrian, 1860: 53.
Cryptocephalus zantensis Pic, 1953: 14, syn. n.
Type localities: Cryptocephalus macellus: “Rhodus; Creta; Attika”; Cryptocephalus zantensis: “Zante” (= Zakynthos).
Type material. Cryptocephalus macellus: not examined.
Cryptocephalus zantensis: syntypes: 1♀ (MNHN), “Zante” (w, h), “type” (w, h), “zantensis n sp” (w, h), “TYPE” (r, p); 1♀ (MNHN), “Zante”
(w, h), “Co-type” (w, h), “TYPE” (r, p); 1♂ (MNHN), “Zante” (w, h), “dessus
foncé ... [partly illegible]” (w, h), “sp pres macellus Suffr” (w, h), “TYPE” (r, p).
Comments. After the description [Pic, 1953], Cryptocephalus zantensis was not mentioned in any subsequent publications on Cryptocephalinae. I examined three syntypes deposited in MNHN (1 male, 2 females) (Fig. 8). The aedeagus was dissected and without any doubts it is identical with aedeagus of widely distributed
C. macellus. Consequently, C. zantensis is proposed as new synonym of C. macellus.
Chrysolina (Bittotaenia) salviae (С. Sahlberg, 1823), authorship changed
Chrysomela salviae С. Sahlberg, 1823b: 76.
Chrysomela salviae Germar, 1823: 586, syn. n.
Type localities: Chrysomela salviae С. Sahlberg: “Dalmatia”; Chrysomela salviae Germar: “Illyria”.
Type material. Not examined.
Comments. Throughout the entomological literature the authorship of Chrysolina salviae is attributed Germar with year of description 1824 [e.g. Gemminger, Harold, 1874; Weise, 1916; Kippenberg, 2010]. Despite the title page of Germar’s book is dated 1824, the book was published in October 1823 [Bousquet, 2016].
During my visit of NHRS I discovered that the description of Chrysolina salviae was several times published by Carolus Reginald Sahlberg. The oldest description of Chrysomela salviae can be found in the fifth part of Dissertation theses published 16 June 1823 [Sahlberg, 1823b]. The description can be found also in reissued theses cummulated to one book without dissertation titles [Sahlberg, 1823c]. The exact date of this book is not known and for taxonomical purpose must be treated to 31 December 1823. Finally, the description was published in “Entomologisches Archiv” [Sahlberg, 1829]. The priority of authorship must be given to Sahlberg [1823b].
For the first time the species name was used as nomen nudum in the catalogue of Dejean [1821: 122]. When compared both descriptions by Sahlberg [1823b] and Germar [1823] it seems to me evident that both authors described this species independently. As result I treat Ch. salviae С. Sahlberg, 1823 as valid species and Ch. salviae Germar, 1823 as its new synonym and primary homonym.

Phaedon armoraciae (Linnaeus, 1758)
Chrysomela armoraciae Linnaeus, 1758: 369.
Chrysomela plantaginis DeGeer, 1775: 322, syn. confirmed.
Type localities: Chrysomela armoraciae: not stated;
Chrysomela plantaginis: not stated.
Type material. Chrysomela armoraciae: not examined.
Chrysomela plantaginis: syntypes: 4 specimens (NHRS), small blank orange label, “95. C. plantaginis C. armoraciae p. 322” (box label, w, h).
Comments. Although DeGeer [1775] published Chrysomela armoraciae Linnaeus, 1758 in synonymy with his newly described Ch. plantaginis, the correct taxonomic position of Ch. plantaginis was uncertain and varied in the literature. For example Marsham [1802] listed Ch. plantaginis as synonym of Ch. armoraciae contrary to Schoenherr [1808] and Gemminger, Harold [1874] who treated Ch. plantaginis as synonym of Ch. cochleariae (Fabricius, 1792). During the second half of 19th century the name plantaginis disappeared from the catalogues.
In DeGeer’s collection deposited in NHRS four
syntypes of Chrysomela plantaginis are deposited. Undoubtedly they are conspecific with Phaedon armoraciae and thus, Chrysomela plantaginis is confirmed as synonym of Phaedon armoraciae.
Timarcha geniculata (С. Sahlberg, 1823), authorship changed
Chrysomela geniculata С. Sahlberg, 1823b: 73.
Chrysomela geniculata Germar, 1823: 584, syn. n.
Type localities: Chrysomela geniculata C. Sahlberg: “Hispania”; Chrysomela geniculata Germar: “Lusitania”.
Type material. Chrysomela geniculata Sahlberg: syntype, 1♂ (NHRS),
“♂.” (w, h), “Hispania. Dejean.” (w, h), “Typus” (r, p), “1823 [transversely] Geniculata Sp. Nov. Illig. Sahlb: Sp. ... p. 73, 10-11” (partly illegible, w, p).
Chrysomela geniculata Germar: not examined.
Comments. Throughout the entomological literature the authorship of Timarcha geniculata is usually attributed to Germar with year of description 1824 [e.g. Fairmaire, Allard 1873; Gemminger, Harold 1874; Weise, 1916, Kippenberg, 2010]. Despite the title page dated 1824, this book was published in October 1823 [Bousquet, 2016].
During my visit of NHRS I discovered the description of Chrysomela geniculata by Sahlberg [1823b] and also one type specimen in the collection. Carolus Reginald Sahlberg published the descriptions of new Coleoptera cummulated in his “Periculi Entomographici” three times. The oldest description of Chrysomela geniculata can be found in the fifth part of Dissertation theses published 16 June 1823 [Sahlberg, 1823b]. The description can be found also in reissued theses cummulated to one book without dissertation titles [Sahlberg, 1823c]. The exact date of this book is not known and for taxonomical purpose must be treated to 31 December 1823. Finally, the description was published in “Entomologisches Archiv” [Sahlberg, 1829].
When compared both descriptions by Sahlberg [1823b] and Germar [1823] it seems to me evident that both authors described this species independently and used the name
„geniculata Hoff.“ published for the first time as nomen nudum in the catalogue of Dejean [1821: 122]. The male
type specimen of Sahlberg’s Ch. geniculata is conspecific with widely used concept of Germar’s species. In sum I treat Ch. geniculata C. Sahlberg, 1823 as valid species and Ch. geniculata Germar, 1823 as its new synonym and primary homonym.

Comments. The primary type specimens of Luperus punctatissimus, L. heydeni and Calomicrus trabzonus (Fig. 12) were examined and compared with the photograph of the holotype of Luperus lividus. Also non type material from various localities was examined. Undoubtedly all four taxa are conspecific [see also Bezděk, 2007] and Calomicrus trabzonus is proposed as new synonym of Calomicrus lividus.

Comments. In the past, Luperus azureus was usually classified in the genus Calomicrus [Weise, 1924; Wilcox, 1973; Beenen, 2010]. Only Warchałowski [2003, 2010] published an idea that Calomicrus azureus is possibly
synonym of Luperus chevrolati Joannis, 1865, recently listed in synonymy with Euluperus xanthopus xanthopus (Duftschmid, 1825) [Beenen, 2010].
I had the possibility to compare two syntypes (male and female) of Luperus azureus deposited in MNHN (Fig. 9) with the holotype of Euluperus hermonensis (Fig. 10), including

their aedeagi (Figs 1–3). The type specimens of both taxa are undoubtedly conspecific. Based on the characters summarized by Bezděk [2015] (metallic dorsum, shape of pronotum, shape of last visible ventrite, ventral furrow on aedeagus), Luperus azureus is transferred to the genus Euluperus and Euluperus hermonensis is proposed its new synonym.
The previously published data on distribution in Syria and Lebanon are somewhat confusing. The records from Syria were evidently based on the type locality Akbes placed in today’s Turkey. Guillebeau [1891] added the record “Syrie: Liban, Ain Libbous” what probably refer
to Anti Lebanon mountain range on border between Syria, Lebanon and Golan Heights in Israel. To clarify the distribution in these countries I present the concrete specimens from today’s Turkey, Syria and Lebanon.

Based on the characters summarized by Bezděk [2015] (e.g. metallic dorsum, shape of pronotum, shape of last visible ventrite, ventral furrow on aedeagus (Figs 4–6), Calomicrus nairicus is transferred to the genus Euluperus Weise, 1886.
Exosoma gaudionis (Reiche, 1862) (Fig. 13)
Malacosoma gaudionis Reiche, 1862: 545.
Exosoma thoracica var. grossepunctata Roubal, 1931: 454,
Typelocalities:Malacosomagaudionis:“Thesselonicam versus Macedoniae in Turcia europaea” (= Thessaloniki, Greece); Exosoma thoracica var. grossepunctatum: “Pirin” (= Pirin Mts., Bulgaria).
Type material. Malacosoma gaudionis: not examined.
Exosoma thoracica var. grossepunctata: Syntype, 1♀ (SNMC), “Pirin Mac. Pfeffer VI.29” (w, p), “v. grossepun- ctata m. type” (w, h), “v. gaudioni ale hrubě teč. krov.” (= but elytra more coarsely punctate) (w, h), blank (r).
Comments. Roubal [1931] described Exosoma thoracica var. grossepunctata from Pirin Mts. in Bulgaria. In subsequent catalogues [Wilcox, 1973; Beenen, 2010] the variety grossepunctata is listed in synonymy with Exosoma thoracicum (Redtenbacher, 1843). I had the opportunity to examine one female syntype (Fig. 13) deposited in Roubal’s collection in Slovak National Museum with black abdomen which is undoubtedly conspecific with E. gaudionis. Thus, var. grossepunctata is removed from the synonymy with
E. thoracicum and newly synonymized with E. gaudionis.
Exosoma lusitanicum (Linnaeus, 1767)
Chrysomela lusitanica Linnaeus, 1767: 1066. Malacosoma theryi Guillebeau, 1897: 166, syn. n. For full list of synonyms see Beenen [2010].
Type localities: Chrysomela lusitanica: “Lusitania”;
Malacosoma theryi: “prov. de Constatine”.
Type material. Chrysomela lusitanica: not examined.
Malacosoma theryi: syntype, 1♀ (MNHN), “Algerie” (w, h), “Type” (red letters, w, h), “Theryi Guill type” (w, h), “Malacosoma n. sp. Theryi Guill. Type” (w, h), “MUSEUM-PARIS BOURVEAU-GIRARD” (w, h).
Comments. Malacosoma theryi was described based on one couple from Algeria [Guillebeau, 1897]. A female syntype traced in MNHN represents a specimen with antennae orange and legs orange with darker femora. Although the ventral side was stated as black (“dessous noir”) in the original description, the abdomen of female syntype is orange. Black ventral side was also used in subsequent identification keys [Mohr, 1968; Warchałowski, 2003, 2010] to separate Exosoma theryi from E. lusitanica. In the populations of Exosoma lusitanicum the specimens with pale legs and antennae are time to time found. It is
evident that such coloured specimens show nothing an infraspecific variability. Consequently, Malacosoma theryi is proposed as a new synonym of Exosoma lusitanicum.

(Figs 15–19)
Luperus syriacus Weise, 1924: 116 (replacement name for
Luperus brevicollis Weise, 1898).
Monolepta anatolica Bezdĕk, 1998: 150.
Luperus brevicollis Weise, 1898: 214 (homonym).
Calomicrus volkovitshi Lopatin et Nesterova, 2013: 95, syn. n. Type localities: Luperus brevicollis: “Akbès”; Monolepta anatolica: “Turkey, Icel vil., Göktepe Dagi, Aslanli env.,
15 km NW from Erdemli”; Calomicrus volkovitshi: “Турция, Эрзерум, ЮЮВ Фостума” (= Turkey, Erzurum, SSE of Tortum]).
Type material. Luperus brevicollis: lectotype, 1♂, designated here
(ZMHB), “Akbes Staud” (w, h), “brevicollis m” (w, h), “ex. Coll. J. Weise” (w, p); paralectotypes, 2 specimens (ZMHB), “Akbes Staud” (w, h), “ex. Coll.

Monolepta anatolica: 33 paratypes (both males and females) (JBCB), “Turkey S, Icel (Mersin) Göktepe Dagi, Aslanli env. (15 km NW from Erdemli) 10.-12.vii.1998, J. Bezděk lgt.” (w, p), “PARATYPUS [with handwritten No. of paratype] Monolepta anatolica sp. n. J. Bezděk det. 1998” (r, p).
Calomicrus volkovitshi: holotype, 1♂ (ZIN), “Turkey, Erzurum SSE of Tostum 5.7. Volkovitsh 05” (w, h), “Holotypus” (r, p), “Calomicrus volkovitshi Lopatin, Nesterova, 2012” (w, h).
Additional material. 69 specimens (JBCB), Turkey, Silifke, Goksu kanyon, 26.05.2001 (M. Snížek leg.).
Comments. Habitually similar genera Calomicrus Dillwyn, 1829, Luperus Geoffroy, 1762, Euluperus Weise, 1886 and Scelolyperus Crotch, 1974 can be distinguished by set of characters presented by Bezděk [2015]. However, the genus Calomicrus itself is evidently polyphyletic in current concept and is waiting for the comprehensive revision. Many yellow Calomicrus species from arid areas of Mediterranean, Near East and Arabian Peninsula show the habitual affinity to the genus Monolepta Chevrolat, 1836. In my opinion, the formal transfer of all such species to Monolepta is not possible as each species should be carefully studied.
Monolepta anatolica Bezděk, 1998 (Fig. 15) proved
to be conspecific with Calomicrus syriacus (Weise, 1924) and the position in Calomicrus was tentatively accepted by Bezděk [2007]. However, further studies allow me to correct the generic assignment. In comparison with Calomicrus circumfusus (Marsham, 1802) (type species of Calomicrus) following differences were observed: Calomicrus syriacus has closed anterior coxal cavities (open in C. circumfusus), very long basimetatarsomere, 7.7 times as long as broad, with black base (4.3 times as long as broad, with pale base in C. circumfusus), antennomere III long, parallel, 3 times as long as wide (subtriangular, 1.2 times as long as wide), median lobe on last abdominal ventrite in male not impressed (impressed in C. circumfusus), aedeagus with complicate structure of spiculae and sclerites (Figs 17–19) (not studied in C. circumfusus) and spermatheca with globular nodulus well separated from cornu (nodulus elongate, with indicated transition to nodulus). Above mentioned characters of Calomicrus syriacus fit very well
the generic description of Monolepta [Wagner, 2003, 2007] and thus I propose the transfer of Calomicrus syriacus to Monolepta. Moreover, recently described C. volkovitshi Lopatin et Nesterova, 2013 is synonymised with Monolepta syriaca based on the study of the holotype (Figs 15, 16).
Theone silphoides silphoides (C. Sahlberg, 1823), authorship changed
Galleruca silphoides C. Sahlberg, 1823a: 62.
Galleruca silphoides Dalman, 1823: 77, syn. n.
Type localities: Galleruca silphoides C. Sahlberg: “Caucaso”. Galleruca silphoides Dalman: “Iberia ? vel ad Caucasum ?”.
Type material. Galleruca silphoides C. Sahlberg: syntype, 1 specimen
(NHRS), “Caucas” (w, p), “Steven” (w, p), “Schh” (w, p), “Silphoides. Dalm. Sahlb.” (w, h), “Typus” (r, p), “Galleruca silphoides Type Sahlberg 1823” (w, h).
Comments. In the entomological literature, the authorship of Theone silphoides is usually assigned to Dalman [1823] and often mentioned that the description was repeated by Sahlberg [1829] [e.g. Weise, 1924; Wilcox, 1971; Beenen, 2010].
Carolus Reginald Sahlberg published the descriptions of new Coleoptera cummulated in his “Periculi Entomographici” three times. The oldest version can be found in five Dissertation theses published in June 1823. The description of Galleruca silphoides is in the fourth part published 14 June 1823 [Sahlberg, 1823a]. These theses were also reissued in one publication [Sahlberg, 1823c] without the dissertation titles. The exact date of publication of Sahlberg [1823c] is not known and for taxonomical purpose it must be treated 31 December 1823. For the third time, the text was reissued in “Entomologisches Archiv” [Sahlberg, 1829]. The oldest known publication date of Dalman’s “Analecta Entomologica” [Dalman, 1823] is 7 September 1823. For more details and exact dates of publishing see Bousquet [2016].
After the comparison of Dalman’s and Sahlberg’s descriptions I think that both authors used the same specimen(s) from Caucasus collected or donated by
C. Steven to J.C. Schoenherr. Moreover, the name Galleruca silphoides in Sahlberg’s description is attributed to Dalman. However, the oldest description and thus also the authorship of Galleruca silphoides must be assigned to Sahlberg [1823a]. Galleruca silphoides Dalman, 1823 is proposed as a new synonym and primary homonym of
G. silphoides C. Sahlberg, 1823.
Derocrepis rufipes (Linnaeus, 1758) (Fig. 14)
Chrysomela rufipes Linnaeus, 1758: 373.
Chrysomela caeruleo-striata DeGeer, 1775: 343, syn. n.
Type localities: Chrysomela rufipes: “Europa”;
Chrysomela caeruleostriata: not stated.
Type material. Chrysomela rufipes: not examined. The photographs of 1♀, syntype are available at http://linnean-online.org/22866/.
Chrysomela caeruleostriata: syntype, 1♂ (NHRS), “NHRS-JLKB 000023095“ (w, p), blank, orange label, “48. C. Caeruleo-striata p. 343” ([box label, w, h).
Comments. The only subsequent publication where I have found the name Chrysomela caeruleostriata is the catalogue by Gemminger and Harold [1876] where it is treated in synonymy with Podagrica fuscipes (Fabricius, 1775). After that Chrysomela caeruleostriata disappeared from the entomological literature. In DeGeer’s collection deposited in NHRS I have found one syntype of Chrysomela caeruleostriata (Fig. 14) which is undoubtedly conspecific with common European alticine Derocrepis rufipes and thus new synonymy is proposed.

E. thoracicum.
