Blamada rubripronota is a longhorn beetle from Southeast Asia . Simultaneously with it, Blamada was described as a separate monotypical genus for the beetle in 2013. Blamada rubripronota is so far the only species within the genus Blamada .
features
The species name rubripronota refers to the striking orange-red pronotum . The front part of the head ( "forehead" ) is also colored orange-red. The other parts of the body ( antennae , wings , abdomen and legs ) are black.
The females of this longhorn beetle are 11.6–13.1 mm long, the males 9.7–12.5 mm.
The species Blamada rubripronota is similar in body shape to the longhorn beetle Paraglenea atropurpurea , which is also widespread in southeast China, but it differs in the shape of the antennae and the lack of appendages on the last tarsal link .
distribution
Blamada rubripronota is native to Southeast Asia. The beetle has so far been found in Laos in Hua Phan Province , in Vietnam in Vĩnh Phúc Province and in China in Guangxi Autonomous Region .
Research history
The generic name Blamada , chosen by the first descriptors Mei-Ying Lin and Carolus Holzschuh in 2013, is a rather arbitrary arrangement of letters. It has no linguistic meaning. The species name rubripronota is derived from the Latin rubrus (red) and pronotum ( pronotum ). The type specimen was found by Carolus Holzschuh in Laos on the Phou Pan-Gnai at an altitude between 1300 and 1900 meters. It is in the Carolus Holzschuh collection in Villach , Austria.
Blamada rubripronota has been placed in the tribe Saperdini within the longhorn beetle subfamily Lamiinae . This subgroup includes around 100 genera with 1300 species worldwide.
