Abstract

Cymatodera ochlera Barr 1972 has been considered to be very similar to but distinct from C. wolcotti Barr 1950. We present evidence to show that these two species are conspecific and C. ochlera should be treated as a junior synonym of C. wolcotti. Cymatodera wolcotti is compared to C. balteata and C. undulata, two species remarkably similar to C. wolcotti. Morphological characters of significant value are presented that confirm C. balteata and C. undulata are separate species. Images of all characters discussed are provided.

摘要

1972年的巴尔氏凹胸叶甲（Cymatodera ochlera Barr）被认为与1950年的沃尔科蒂氏凹胸叶甲（C. wolcotti Barr）非常相似，但又有所不同。我们提供证据表明这两个物种是同种的，并且奥氏凹胸叶甲（C. ochlera）应被视为沃尔科蒂氏凹胸叶甲（C. wolcotti）的次异名。将沃尔科蒂氏凹胸叶甲与巴尔氏凹胸叶甲（C. balteata）和波状凹胸叶甲（C. undulata）进行了比较，后两者与沃尔科蒂氏凹胸叶甲极为相似。给出了具有重要价值的形态特征，证实巴尔氏凹胸叶甲和波状凹胸叶甲是不同的物种。提供了所讨论的所有特征的图像。
