                Posted - 10/11/2015 : 18:20:21  It is you the specialist of these animals Andreas.  A.Bretschneideri also seems to me less brilliant ? |

                Posted - 10/11/2015 : 01:06:45  there are A. bifasciata without black band, an individual variation (syn. of kinganus is probably correct, but I haven't studies the type in detail), A. bretschneideri has different antennal tomentation, other blue markings at the body and is more parallel-sided. Altogether this are very nice sps. |

                Posted - 09/11/2015 : 17:37:18  Acalolepta bifasciata type has black bands,  The type of Monohammus Kinganus Pic, 1921 is uniform, as you can see here      |
