Neoplagionotus bobelayei or traditional bobelayei Plagionotus is a beetle from the family of longhorn beetles (Cerambycidae) and the subfamily of Cerambycinae . The genus Plagionotus is represented in Europe with eight species . In the genus Plagionotus , the species belongs to the subgenus Neoplagionotus , which some authors also classify as a genus. However, this view is not undisputed. Correspondingly, in the catalog of Palearctic beetles by Löbl & Smetana 2010, the species continues to be placed in the genus Plagionotus , but in the corrections to the catalog it is included in the genus Neoplagionotus , which includes the three species N. andreui , N. bobelayei and N. scalaris .

Notes on names and synonyms

The beetle was described by Brullé in 1832 under the name Clytus bobelayei . Brullé himself was of the opinion that this was the first description of a beetle discovered in the Peloponnese as part of the scientific monitoring of the Morea expedition . He therefore added the abbreviation Br. For Brullé to the name Clytus bobelayei . Only later was it recognized that the beetle described by Adams in 1817 under the name Callidium speciosum from Russia was the same species of beetle. The name Callidium speciosum was older but still invalid. It was awarded by Schneider in 1785 and 1787 for the species that is now called Isotomus speciosus . That is why the Beetle kept the name given by Brullé. Since the beetle is now part of the genus (Neo) Plagionotus , some authors were of the opinion that the original homonymy of the two Callidium speciosum no longer applies to Plagionotus speciosus and Isotomus speciosus . That's why they called Plagionotus bobelayei again Plagionotus speciosus . The Beetle also bears this name at Coleonet (accessed October 2018). According to Art. 57.2 of the ICZN , the name is not permitted even after it has been assigned to other genera. The species keeps the name (Neo) Plagionotus bobelayei .

The species has been subdivided several times, so the forms described by Adams and Brullé were considered two of three subspecies of Plagionotus bobelayei . On the other hand, scalaris and bobelayei were also regarded as synonyms of speciosus Adams , that is, combined as only one species. The form andreui was first classified as a variant, then as a subspecies of bobelayei , and then upgraded to the species Plagionotus andreui . According to Lazarev, the subgenus described by Adams receives the name Neoplagionotus bobelayei huseyini , the form described by Brullé accordingly forms the subgenus Neoplagionotus bobelayei bobelayei , a third form described by Pic forms the subgenus Neoplagionotus bobelayei mouzafferi .

With the species name bobelayei , Brullé dedicated the beetle to his friend Émile Le Puillon de Bob (e) laye , Capitaine d'état major in the topographical department of the scientific department of the Morea expedition.

The generic name Plagionotus is from Altgr. πλάγιος plágios, transverse and νότος nōtos, derived from back. The genus was established by Mulsant and includes longhorn beetles with a domed breast shield without thorns, in which the prothorax is transversely oval, at least a third wider than it is long . This defining property established by Mulsant also applies to Plagionotus bobelayei . Neoplagionotus means New Plagionotus and indicates that the genus is no longer delimited in the traditional sense.

Properties of the beetle

The dark brown to black beetle has a conspicuous pattern, which is caused by yellow hair. The drawing is almost identical to the drawing of Plagionotus scalaris and the distribution areas of the two species also overlap, but with an average length of eighteen millimeters and a width of seven millimeters, Plagionotus bobelayei is significantly larger than the only approximately eleven millimeters long Plagionotus scalaris and also relatively broader than Plagionotus scalaris, which is only about three millimeters wide . Typical drawing patterns in geographically different areas can be found at Sláma.

The head is provided with a very fine pattern of polygonal meshes (shagreen), not heavily dotted. It has a small longitudinal notch on the front and is covered with yellow hair in this area. There is also a yellow cross-band across the back of the head. The eleven-segment antennae are brownish-yellow, the jaw and lip probes and the first antennae are usually darker. The antennae are sparse and have short hairs, the last segments of the antennae are flattened. The thickness of the antennae differs in the various subspecies.

The breast shield is spherical, significantly wider than it is long. It's cut straight at the front and back. It is heavily dotted. The drawing is like that of Plagionotus scalaris . In front and in front of the base there is a yellow band each over the entire width, the two bands unite laterally and thus enclose a lens-shaped field. Another stripe of the same color but less noticeable runs directly at the base. In the subspecies / form mouzafferi , the posterior ligament and the basal stripe converge more or less, so that the entire posterior third of the breast shield can be hairy yellow.

The label is slightly wider than it is long and rounded. It is usually close-fitting and densely packed with pale yellow hair.

The elytra are wider than the pronotum. They are less constricted behind the base and taper less behind it than with scalaris , where there is no constriction behind the base. At the top, the elytra are individually rounded. The elytra are finely chagrined, one or two longitudinal ribs are indicated. They are very short haired with silky hair. The drawing consists of five yellow elements formed by the hair on each wing cover. At the base there is a large cross-oval spot. Together with the tag and the corresponding spot on the other wing cover, this looks like an irregular basal band. Behind this is an unevenly wide band that hugs the seam towards the front and unites behind the label with the band of the second wing cover and with this centrally forms the figure of a gable. The tape runs out in a wavy manner towards the sides. Underneath this band is another, somewhat shorter band, about halfway the length of the wing cover, the front edge of which is approximately perpendicular to the body axis and the rear edge of which is cut out in a shallow arc. This is followed by a slightly diagonally placed spot (inside further forward) that is less wide than the wing cover, but can touch the corresponding spot on the other wing cover at the seam. Finally, the end of the wing cover is yellow and this spot is pulled forward a little along the wing cover seam. These last two spots are relatively large in the shape described by Adams, so they are close to one another, and in the shape described by Brullé they are spaced apart.

The underside of the body and the legs are pale yellow, dense and closely haired. In particular, the bases of the abdominal segments are hairless at most in the middle area of ​​the anterior margin, while in Plagionotus scalaris a strip at the bases of the abdominal segments is bare. Rails and tarsi are yellow-brown of the same color as the antennae, the legs are darker in the form described by Brullé, and also yellow-brown in the other sub-genera.

The structure of the genitals is described by Sabanoglu and Sert, as well as Kasatkin.

biology

The beetles can be found from May to July on the flowers of the mallow-like order ( mallow , hollyhock ). The larvae probably develop in the stems and roots of these plants. In Russia the yellow hollyhock (Alcea rugosa) is the host plant. The larval development is usually one year.

distribution

Spain is included in the range if Plagionotus andreui is still considered a subspecies of Plagionotus bobelayei . If Plagionotus andreui is regarded as a separate species, Plagionotus bobelayei does not occur in Spain. The same applies to Plagionotus siculus in Sicily . In Europe, the species is reported from Albania , North Macedonia , Greece , Bulgaria , Romania , the Ukraine , also in the Crimea , the Republic of Moldova and from European Russia . The species is also found in the Middle East and the Eastern Palaearctic ( Turkey , Iran , Iraq , Israel , Lebanon , Jordan , Syria , Turkmenistan , Armenia , the Caucasus , Azerbaijan , Georgia , Transcaucasia ).
