Is it Dorcadion paracinerarium or pedestre or olympicum???

Need your comments.
Thanks.

It described as a new ssp.
Dorcadion menradi pilosicollis.

Tell me that I'm a party destroyer ... but how can a ssp be described from one male and one female and another one from from a female specimen (when also the nominal ssp was obviously not examined) and specially is well know that Dorcadion(s) have a huge variability (with very few exceptions ... black species without hair) !!!!
