Forum Entomologi Italiani

A question, if I may, Daniel. Why did you write "vaulogerii", with double "i" and not "vaulogeri" as in the original description?

Ciao Stefano, my spelling vaulogerii is maybe incorrect. If in original description is only one "i", it must be vaulogeri.

Do you confirm?

Do you mean "i" or "ii"? I don't have the separate with description of B. vaulogeri(i). But your specimen in this topic is not B. vaulogeri(i) (it's B. vaulogeri only according to Baraud's monograph from 1992, so B. vaulogeri auct.) - this species is actually without the name (it will be described by D. Král & O. Hillert as O. krikkeni sp. n.).

Ciao Jan, I dont think it is still published and it is better to not use this name yet (and also display images).
If you agree we can remove from the Forum. Ciao, Guido

Ciao Guido, Sì, sono d'accordo

Ho provveduto a rimuovere dal forum l'immagine della nuova specie, attualmente in corso di descrizione

Very good now I can publish it as Bolbelasmus honzai n.sp.! Ciao

Few days ago, I spoke with David Král, and he told me that now he has types of B. bocchus, B. gallicus and B. vaulogeri at home. The type of B. bocchus (male from Algeria) has the frontal horn splitted from the base like the Iberian "B. bocchus" but there are some differences in morphology (so, "B. bocchus" from the Iberian peninsula is maybe a different taxon without name).
I pointed out to David that the name "krikkeni" already exists for species described from India (Sikkim): Bolbelasmus krikkeni Nikolajev, 1979:225. So David and his colleagues would not be able to use this name for the new species from Tunisia, and will have to create another name.

So once again to Honza: B. krikkeni is a valid species known from Sikkim (India) only. We'll have to wait for the revision of all Mediterranean Bolbelasmus-species from David Král and his colleagues.

This topic refers to the genus Bolbelasmus. The paper you presented here refers to some different genera (Bolbohamatum, Bolbogonium). Do not confuse apples with pears please.

Honza removed his post - here is the paper inserted by him (please don't remove your posts after reply of someone else!):

Yes I removed from the forum.I found that PDF is the different genera (Bolbohamatum, Bolbogonium).At that moment no answer.
