Today we'll talk about Oberea (Amaurostoma) cf erythrocephala.
We know that the beetles belonging to the "Oberea (Amaurostoma) erythrocephala group" develop in different species of Euphorbia spp. What is the number of species? Whether such taxa as O. (A.) euphorbiae and O. (A.) histrionis (= moravica) are good species? Maybe it's just the form of food, or geographical races?
In this topic in science is a mess.Collecting specimens in various countries, for example in Poland, Bulgaria, Greece, Armenia, I understand less and less, rather than to understand more and more...
