Dear Colleagues,

Is it Dorcadion lineatocolle Breuning, 1962?

And is it also?:

Is this species already reported from Albania, or only from Greece?

thanks
Tamás

hmmmm...not sure here !

Lineatocolle - Greece, Bulgaria, Macedonia, Serbia, BUT I -personally collected them on 3 different localities just next to the border with Albania ( Ioannina distr. and Florina distr. ) , so I am absolutely sure, they are distributed in Albania as well !

And that one on Flickr is something else - arenarium probably

Well I think it is a bit different, than D. arenarium:

I am not a Dorcadion specialist, but I think this is also D. lineatocolle:

thank you!

That one from on flickr from the morning is not lineatocolle for sure. It is something around etruscum or arenarium. Arenarium has got many colour forms....

http://www.nhmus.hu/ColeoColl/kepek/TRI ... CE/029.jpg - this one could be lineatocolle or not...determination without knowing any collecting detail, size, etc is

Anyway, without a view on aedeagus it is always a lottery with such a similar species/groups...

OK! Thank you for your comment!

Hi Tamas,
this Dorcadion, in my opinion, is Dorcadion lineatocolle, a new record for Albania. I agree with Zdeno with the occurrence of the species in this country.
