Forum Entomologi Italiani

Hello,

No idea about the species of this one from Azerbaijan. I think it's a Stictoleptura, with a very coarse punctuation like for S. scutellata.

The size is 14.5 mm.

Many thanks for your help.

In my opinion it is S. scutellata, it isn't signaled in Kazakhstan, but I don't see a real motivation for it's absence, since it is present in the border countries. But I prefer waiting for someone more expert with this fauna. Anyway, the exemplar is very interesting.

Hello Marcello,

In my two last posts, I have confused Kazakhstan and Azerbaidjan... Talysh Mts are obviously in Azerbaidjan !

As I can't edit the posts, could you please correct this error ?

Many thanks,
Dominique

Ho provveduto a correggere

In fact I made a mistake, the country is Azerbaidjan, my apologizes.

M. Danilevsky told me that it's here Stictoleptura scutellata ssp miroshnikovi Danilevsky 2012.

Confirm for Stictoleptura scutellata ssp. miroshnikovi Danilevsky, 2012. It is the subspecies diffuse in Iran and Southern Azerbaijan.
