The valid generic name is Gompelia (sensu Alonso-Zarazaga) In orded to identify it I am afraid you will need to extract the genitalia. check this: https://www.zobodat.at/pdf/EntBer_44_0275-0278.pdf E. |

Thank you for your answers and the identification. I had doubts because of e.g. O. flaveola which is not mentioned in Klingers review of the pruinosus-group. I now understand that the taxonomy is rather complicated. Mulsant & Rey proposed the name Olotelus, which was already used in Tenebrionidae. Mroczkowski then proposed Otolelus as a replacement, and that name was used by some authors. Alonso-Zarazaga now says that this name is not valid because Mroczkowski forgot to designate a type species, and replaced it by Gompelia. However the species in question (pruinosus) was not put by him into Gompelia, but into the genus Cobososia as Cobososia pruinosa, an assignment which apparently didn't up to now find its way into literature. It seems not clear whether Cobososia and Otolelus (Gompelia) are really different genera. If not, the correct name would be Cobososia, which is older. Meanwhile I will label the speciemen Otolelus pruinosus until these questions are resolved. Ciao, Michael |
