Nº 3: 1-70. 1-II-2022 - The genus Timarcha from the South of the Iberian Peninsula SUMMARY The species of Timarcha Samouelle, 1819 living in the South of the Iberian Peninsula are reviewed basing on the available types. We have recognized twelve species-group taxa: Timarcha apricaria ssp. apricaria Waltl, 1835, T. apricaria ssp. heydeni Weise, 1882, T. apricaria ssp. parvicollis Rosenhauer, 1856, T. granadensis Bechynĕ, 1948, T. insparsa Rosenhauer, 1856, T. intermedia ssp. intermedia Herrich-Schäffer, 1838, T. intermedia ssp. lugens Rosenhauer, 1856, T. kiesenwetteri ssp. kiesenwetteri Kraatz, 1879, T. kiesenwetteri ssp. sagrensis Kuntzen, 1911, T. marginicollis Rosenhauer, 1856, T. scutellaris Waltl, 1835 and T. strophium ssp. carmelenae Petitpierre, 2013. Other two taxa studied here, Timarcha apricaria ssp. melitensis Weise, 1882 and T. strophium ssp. strophium Weise, 1888, are spread all around North Morocco (Rif) and Central-Eastern Spain (Cuenca and Teruel) respectively. The identity of the long-time unknown T. apricaria and T. scutellaris has been re-established. Timarcha heydeni, T. parvicollis and T. melitensis have been downgraded to a subspecific rank of T. apricaria, and T. carmelenae has been downgraded to a subspecific rank of T. strophium. Timarcha lugens is confirmed as a subspecies of T. intermedia, and T. kiesenwetteri ssp. sagrensis is tentatively maintained as a subspecies until more specimens will be available. The following new synonyms are proposed: Timarcha apricaria ssp. apricaria = T. coarcticollis Fairmaire & Allard, 1873, nov. syn. = T. paulinoi Kraatz, 1879, nov. syn. = T. parvicollis ssp. nitentula Bechynĕ, 1953, nov. syn. Timarcha apricaria ssp. parvicollis = T. seidlitzi Kraatz, 1879, nov. syn. = T. parvicollis ssp. elocata Bechynĕ, 1953, nov. syn. Timarcha apricaria ssp. melitensis = T. riffensis Fairmaire, 1888, nov. syn. Timarcha intermedia ssp. lugens = T. parnassia Weise, 1882 nov. syn. = T. nevadensis Fairmaire, 1884, nov. syn. Timarcha scutellaris = T. hispanica Herrich-Schäffer, 1838, nov. syn. = T. rugipennis Perez Arcas, 1865, nov. syn. = T. erosa Fairmaire & Allard, 1873, nov. syn. = T. vermiculata Fairmaire, 1880, nov. syn. = T. laevisterna Fairmaire, 1880, nov. syn. = T. transversicollis Fairmaire 1884, nov. syn. Timarcha strophium ssp. strophium = T. fossulata Bechynĕ, 1944, nov. syn. Timarcha splendida Pérez-Arcas, 1872 and T. sericea var. escalerae Kuntzen, 1911, are confirmed as synonyms of T. marginicollis Rosenhauer, 1856. Timarcha strophium Weise, 1888 has been redescribed basing on the types. The type series of Timarcha granadensis ssp. dislocata Bechynĕ, 1948 is made up by two species: one of them is T. granadensis; the other is a species from Central-Eastern Spain close to T. sobrina Fairmaire, 1884. Neotypes have been designated for Timarcha hispanica, T. intermedia and T. scutellaris. Lectotypes have been designated for Timarcha apricaria, T. erosa, T. granadensis, T. heydeni, T. insparsa, T. kiesenwetteri, T. laevisterna, T. lugens, T. melitensis, T. nevadensis, T. parnassia, T. parvicollis ssp. elocata, T. parvicollis ssp. nitentula, T. paulinoi, T. riffensis, T. rugipennis, T. seidlitzi, T. sericea, T. splendida, T. strophium and T. vermiculata. Timarcha apricaria Gistel, 1832 and T. angulicollis Motschulsky, 1849 are considered nomina dubia, and two species described as native of Andalusia, T. gravis Rosenhauer, 1856 and T. rugosula Rosenhauer, 1856, are alien to the Iberian fauna.

Palabras clave: Crisomélidos, nomenclatura, taxonomía, sinónimos, Europa, España, Portugal, Marruecos. INTRODUCTION Three subgenera are recognized in Timarcha Samouelle, 1919: Timarcha s. Str., Metallotimarcha Motschulsky, 1860 and Americanotimarcha Jolivet, 1948. The last one is spread all along the Western coast of U.S.A. (RILEY et al., 2003). Metallotimarcha species are distributed throughout the mountains of Central and Southern Europe (including the South of Italy, see BIONDI et al., 1994) and reach the Caucasus. The Timarcha s. str., which spreads around North Africa (Maghreb) anda large part of Europe (GÓMEZ-ZURITA & KIPPENBERG, 2010), can be divided in two groups. One of them, with well developed mesoventrite in the shape of two divergent “horns” protruding evidently (figs. 158-181, and figs. 17a-b in PETITPIERRE, 2019), includes the species living in the South of Spain and Portugal. The other group, with a poorly developed, slightly outstanding orflat, mesoventrite (see figs. 17cd in PETITPIERRE, 2019), not necessarily monophyletic,is spread all around the rest of the general distribution of the subgenus. The study of the Timarcha species in the South of Spain dates back from the journeys of Joseph Waltl in 1829 (GISTEL, 1832a; PERTY, 1879), Pierre-Jules Rambur in 1834-35 (GRASLIN, 1836, 1872), and Wilhelm Gottlob Rosenhauer in 1849 (ROSENHAUER, 1849) to Andalucía, and that of Christian Handschuch in 1847 (MOTSCHULSKY, 1849) to Murcia region. The first described species from Andalucia were T. apricaria and T. scutellaris by GISTEL (1832b) and WALTL (1835), respectively. Rambur collected three species reported, but not described, by DEJEAN (1837) (nomina nuda), which are T. baetica, T. parnassia and T. rugosula, these last two were subsequently described. Some years later, Handschuch, a traveller and insect dealer (see HANDSCHUCH, 1849), sent (sold?) his Spanish collections to Motschulsky, who described T. angulicollis, among many new Coleopteran species, in 1849. As a result of his trip, ROSENHAUER (1856) described T. gravis (alien to our fauna), T. marginicollis, T. insparsa, T. lugens, T. parvicollis and T. rugosula (alien to our fauna). Long before, it is worth mentioning that Johann Centurius Graf von Hoffmannsegg visited the whole of Portugal from 1798 to 1801 as a botanist and entomologist (LINK, 1808; HOFFMANSEGG & LINK, 1809). He collected in “Lusitania” the specimens that GERMAR (1823) described as Chrysomela geniculata, C. chloropus and C. scortea (now in Timarcha) which are spread around Central and Northern Portugal, so they will be dealt with elsewhere. Up to now, 33 available Timarcha names of the speciesgroup have been proposed for the fauna of the South of the Iberian Peninsula, which have been revised In this paper basing on all the descriptions and examination of nearly all the existing types. All of them are species with protruding mesoventrite. Moreover, other Iberian species with well developed, bifurcated mesoventrite comprise T. balearica Gory, 1833, from Balearic Islands, T. fallax Pérez-Arcas, 1865, distributed all around Eastern Spain, and T. calceata Pérez-Arcas, 1865, spread around the mountains of North-Western and Western Spain and neighbouring areas in Portugal (see PETITPIERRE, 2019). The status, nomenclature and diagnosis of the former one were studied by VELA et al. (2020) and those of the two latter will be studied elsewhere. The taxonomy of Timarcha has always been a complicated issue since Linnaean times (see DACCORDI et al., 2000; VELA et al., 2000). Probably this peculiar genus constitutes one of the last 2 Nº 3: 1-70. 1-II-2022 - The genus Timarcha from the South of the Iberian Peninsula Suplementos del Boletín de la Asociación Española de Entomología - José Miguel Vela & Mauro Daccordi frontiers for the knowledge of the Palaearctic Chrysomelidae. The aim of this paper is to clarify the nomenclature and taxonomy of Timarcha and tackle the study of the species living in the South of Spain and Portugal. MATERIAL & METHODS The study area includes the districts of Faro, Beja and South of Setúbal (regions of Algarve and south Alentejo) in Portugal, and Andalucía and Murcia in Spain, which are approx. under latitude 38.25º N (fig. 1). Timarcha fallax Pérez-Arcas, 1865, and T. espanoli Bechynĕ, 1948 live in East Spain, arriving to Murcia region, but they will be treated elsewhere; Timarcha fallax belongs to a group of close species living in East and Northeast Spain, whereas T. espanoli is a closely relative of T. rugosa (L.), distributed in the Magreb. Measurements of body length were made with the ocular grid of a Nikon SMZ-10 stereoscopic microscope at a magnification of 10X. Body size is equivalent to the total length of the specimen from the anterior region of head to the apex of elytron. Photographs of type specimens were taken with an Olympus Stylus TG-3 digital compact camera. Photographs of other specimens or their parts were taken with a Canon EOS 550D attached to a bellows with a Schneider Componon-S 50mm f/2.8 objective. Zerene Stacker® was used for stacking the photographs. The vestiture of the underside of the tarsi, the sclerite of the aedeagus and the endophallus (internal sac) were studied and named after DACCORDI et al. (2020). Maps were generated with free software Google Maps.

Each specimen designated as lectotype, paralectotype or neotype carries a red label indicating its status, its name and the name of this paper’s authors as designators of the nomenclatural act. The figures are arranged as follows: map of the studied area (fig. 1), habitus (figs. 2-62), antennae and maxillary palpi (figs. 63-97), pronota (figs. 98-121), pronotum outlines (figs. 122-159), mesoventrites (figs. 160-183), female metatarsi (figs. 184-194); aedeagi (figs. 195-226); sclerites of the endophallus (figs. 227-244), endophalli (figs. 245-253), spermathecae (figs. 254-280), and distributional maps (figs. 281-288). In the Coleopterorum Catalogus, Chrysomelinae part, WEISE (1916) listed the species with their synonyms, varieties and aberrations. We will deal with the varieties with a subspecific rank, while the aberrations will have an infrasubspecific rank, in agreement with art. 45.6.4. (INTERNATIONAL COMMISSION ON ZOOLOGICAL NOMENCLATURE, 1999). The paper by BOUSQUET (2016) has been a relevant source for publication dates and references. The studied species of Timarcha are quite different from each other and therefore can be correctly identified. However, this changes when it comes to subspecies. We have maintained a conservative approach by keeping some nominal species as subspecies, for populations with at least one differential character, even if the non-sexual characters are very variable. Furthermore, there are other differentiated populations that have not received any names, and in this case we have referred to them simply as populations, thus avoiding giving multiple names that could obscure the stable category, i.e. the species. RESULTS 1. Timarcha apricaria Waltl, 1835 Figs. 2-21, 63-73, 98-103, 122-130, 160-164, 184, 195-203, 227-234, 245, 254-260, 281. Diagnosis. Males: 8.6-12.8 mm (lectotypes: T. heydeni: 10.1 mm; T. parvicollis elocata: 12.0 mm; parvicollis nitentula: 8.6 mm; T. riffensis: 9.5 mm; T. seidlitzi: 8.9 mm); females: 9.5-14.2 mm (lectotypes: T apricaria: 13.5 mm, T. melitensis: 11.4 mm, T. paulinoi: 11.0 mm; syntype: T. parvicollis: 10.4 mm). Dorsum black, slightly bright, black with bluish luster (lectotype of T. paulinoi), silky (lectotype of T. coarcticollis) or matt (figs. 2-21). Scutellum and legs usually have bluish or violet luster. Last maxillary palp generally wider at apex in males than in females, but this character is variable (figs. 63b-73b). The length of the antennomeres is also variable, ranging from very short in mountain specimens, with a ratio of 9, 4, 5, 5, 5, 4, 5, 5, 5, 5, 8 to 3 Nº 3: 1-70. 1-II-2022 - The genus Timarcha from the South of the Iberian Peninsula Suplementos del Boletín de la Asociación Española de Entomología - José Miguel Vela & Mauro Daccordi more elongate in lowlands ones, with ratio of 11, 5, 8, 7, 7, 6, 7, 6, 6, 8, 11 (figs. 63a-73a). Pronotum generally not very transverse, the ratio width/length in specimens from Rif in North Morocco (ssp. melitensis), Southern Spain provinces of Sevilla, Cádiz (ssp. apricaria) and Málaga, and South Portugal (ssp. parvicollis) is 1.481.71 (♂♂), 1.57-1.75 (♀♀), whereas in specimens from Córdoba, Jaén and Granada the pronotum may be more transverse, with a width/length ratio of 1.61-1.88 (♂♂), 1.67-2.00 (♀♀). Lateral sides of pronotum curved inwards near the base, straight and parallel in the middle, narrowing again near the apex, never protruding outwards. Near the base, there is a pronounced notch where the marginal lateral line is interrupted (figs. 122-130). Very rarely, the lateral border is absent or almost absent (in Moroccan Rif: ssp. melitensis) (figs. 129-130). Punctation is very fine, often hardly visible (figs. 98, 101, 103), but in some subspecies the punctures are stronger and visible (figs. 99, 100, 102). In the elytra the punctation is usually fine; the elytral surface tends to be smooth, but sometimes, in females of Sevilla and Cádiz populations the surface of the elytra is irregular (lectotype of T. apricaria). Mesoventrite is well bituberculated, bifurcated and protruding outwards and backwards, with some variations (figs. 160-164). Tarsal vestiture in males is 0, 0, 0; 0-1/4, 0, 0; 1/3, 0, 0-1/5, and in females 1/4-1, 0-4/5, 0-1/4; 4/5-1, 0-1/2, 0-1/4; 5/6-1, 1/2-5/6, 1/21/3. The glabrous line in metatarsomere II is narrowing near the apex (fig. 184). Aedeagus: Slightly narrowed near the apex (figs. 195-201), rarely rounded (figs. 202-203). Laterally, the apex ends in a point generally not acute (figs. 195-203). In the sclerite of the endophallus, the flagellum is long and curved, and the phanera is simple and considerably small; it is slighthly separated at half or ¾ of the length of the flagellum (figs. 227-234). Endophallus as in fig. 245 (see also fig. 8 in PETITPIERRE & ANICHTCHENKO, 2018). Spermatheca elongate, closely curved, and turned to the sides, with a longer arm distally acute (figs. 254-260). Comments. WEISE (1882) correctly claimed that T. apricaria is very close to T. coarcticollis. ACHARD (1923), BECHYNĔ (1948) and GÓMEZ-ZURITA & KIPPENBERG (2010) considered T. rugosula Rosenhauer 1856 a synonym of T. apricaria. PETITPIERRE & ALONSO-ZARAZAGA (2019) proposed T. rugosula as a synonym of T. parvicollis ssp. coarcticollis (here considered T. apricaria). The study of types shows that T. rugosula is a species alien to the Spanish fauna, different from T. apricaria. Differential diagnosis: The constriction of the lateral side of the pronotum near the base, including the interruption of the lateral line in this part (figs. 98-103, 122-130), and the morphology of sclerites of internal sac in the aedeagus (figs. 227-234) are very distinctive in T. apricaria. However, the pronotum constriction with marginal line interrupted at the base also occurs, though less visible, in T. strangulata Fairmaire, 1861, from Western and Central Pyrenees (see JEANNE, 1967; WINKELMAN & DEBREUIL 2008) and is sometimes found in T. strophium ssp. carmelenae Petitpierre, 2013, from provinces of Málaga, Granada, Jaén and Albacete (PETITPIERRE, in PETITPIERRE & DACCORDI, 2013; VELA et al., 2017). Timarcha strangulata is quite different in its truncated mesoventrite, which does not protrude, whereas the pronotum of T. strophium carmelenae is laterally widened, its basal constriction, when existing, is hardly visible (figs. 121, 159), maxillary palps not widened near the apex in males (fig. 96b) and the vestiture of metatarsomeres I and II in females shows a complete, wide glabrous line (fig. 194). Variablility and Populations. We have conserved the existing name for some distinctive populations with the subspecific category: ssp. apricaria, ssp. heydeni, ssp. parvicollis, ssp. melitensis. However, characters may be very variable within a given population. Specimens coming from North Morocco (ssp. melitensis and other populations) and from mountains about 1500 m high in South Spain have usually a smaller size. Specimens from Portugal and some areas in Spain (Cádiz and Málaga: Estepona mountains) have dorsal bluish luster, the others being usually black (ssp. parvicollis) or with silky teguments in populations of Sevilla and Cadiz provinces (ssp. apricaria). The constriction at the base of the pronotum is really noteworthy in Western populations (Portugal, Central and Western Andalucía), and it is little marked but noticeable enough in some specimens from Eastern Andalucía (Sierra Nevada, Almería coast). The pronotum is from nearly 1.5 to 2.0 times wider than long, depending on populations. Other small sized specimens can also be found in Sierra de Baza (Granada), with transverse pronotum and almost absence of margin in lateral sides of the pronotum. In Sierra Nevada (different areas, among them Puerto de la Ragua, Granada) and other locations in Almería, there are big specimens with convex pronotum and almost obliterated emargination at the base of the pronotum. In the Eastern Middle Atlas (Morocco), it is possible to find specimens with completely margined lateral sides of the pronotum which cannot be considered T. apricaria ssp. melitensis, as this has an almost obliterated marginal line on the sides of the pronotum. To sum up, this is a very variable species, whose considered subspecies are composed by populations usually also variable in a mosaic of morphological traits. Previous specific records: The literature records are collected for the whole species, being generally uncertain the attribution to a given subspecies, except for T. apricaria ssp. melitensis (from Moroccan Western Rif).

This author correctly argued that this species has a bifurcated mesosternum and is close to T. paulinoi from Portugal (here considered a junior synonym of T. apricaria ssp. apricaria). Timarcha melitensis is known by its lectotype, which lacks a marginal lateral border on the sides of the pronotum, similarly to the type of T. riffensis (from Moroccan Rif mountains). In Eastern Middle Atlas there is a population of T. apricaria, with well visible lateral border in the pronotum, differently from T. melitensis and similarly to Spanish specimens of T. apricaria ssp. parvicollis. Diagnosis. Males: 9.0-10.0 mm (lectotype of T. riffensis: 9.5 mm), females: 10.2-11.5 mm (lectotype of T. melitensis: 11.4 mm). With the characters of T. apricaria ssp. apricaria, but general matt colour (fig. 11a, 17), and lateral sides of pronotum not very curved (fig. 103) and without borders (figs. 129, 130). Fine and regular punctation of pronotum (fig. 103); punctation of elytra a bit stronger and less regularly distributed (figs. 11a, 17). Distribution. Morocco: Rif mountains. The locality in Malta for T. melitensis as indicated by WEISE (1882) is surely wrong. The subspecific ascription of the population in Eastern Middle Atlas is doubtful because of the presence of a marginal border of the pronotum (fig. 281).

[h] / Daccordi et Vela det. 2017” (NMHN). Other relevant specimens. We studied a female specimen corresponding to T. parnassia Rambur in Dejean, unavailable name (nomen nudum) (fig. 40), labelled: “S. Nev. [h] // Parnassia Ramb. / Hispan [h by Rambur] // apricaria [h] // Ex-Musaeo Mniszech [p] / TIMARCHA [p] lugens Rosenh. [h] / Daccordi et Vela det. 2017” (NMHN). This specimen belongs to T. intermedia ssp. lugens. Comments. Timarcha parnassia Rambur was firstly mentioned, but not described, by DEJEAN (1836, 1837), and so it is an unavailable name. Later, WEISE (1882) made this name available in his own authorship. Timarcha parnassia Weise 1882 is a junior homonym of T. parnassia Fairmaire 1868: 261, described and known as being from Greece, which belongs to a different group of species. KIPPENBERG (2017) designated two paralectotypes of T. lugens kept in Zoologische Staatssammlung München, while the lectotype was never designated. Here we have designated the lectotype. Timarcha gravis Rosenhauer, 1856 was generally considered a synonym of T. intermedia ssp. lugens (ACHARD, 1923; GÓMEZ-ZURITA & KIPPENBERG, 2010: 440; PETITPIERRE & ALONSO-ZARAZAGA, 2019: 503), but T. gravis proved to be a different species alien to the Iberian fauna (see below). Diagnosis. Males: 10.5-12.0 mm; females: 12.5-15.9 mm (lectotype of T. lugens: 14.2 mm; lectotype of T. parnassia: 13.5 mm, lectotype of T. nevadensis: 12.5 mm; historical spec. of T. parnassia Rambur nom. nud.: 14.4 mm). Body black, usually dorsum matt in females (figs. 35-40), sometimes legs and antennae with a slight blue shine. Last maxillary palp not wider in males than in females (figs. 82b-83b). Antennomeres not elongate, their ratio is 12-5-9-78-7-8-6-7-7-12 (figs. 82a, 83a). Pronotum transverse, 1.7-2.0 (♂♂, ♀♀) wider than long, sparsely but uniformly punctated, with small but uneven punctures. Margin of sides of the pronotum generally complete and rarely interrupted at the basal angles, which are slightly protruded outwards; lateral sides almost regularly curved, but narrower near the base (fig. 143). Elytra a bit more strongly punctated than pronotum; females very distinctive in their elytra with traces of keels (figs. 35, 37-40). Mesoventrite usually moderately protruding and not distinctly bituberculated (fig. 172); when distinct tubercles are present, they have a lateral rather than vertical orientation. Tarsal formula in female as in nominotypical subspecies: 1,1,1; 1,1,1; 1,1,1. Genitalia male and female as in the nominotypical subspecies. Aedeagus in dorsal view narrowed near the apex (fig. 211-212). Sclerite of endophallus as illustrated in fig. 238. Inflated endophallus as in fig. 249 (see also fig. 7 in PETITPIERRE & ANICHTCHENKO, 2018). Spermatheca as described for the typonominal subspecies (figs. 269-270). Variability: Some specimens show a slightly interrupted margin of the lateral sides of the pronotum at the base, or an almost obliterated inner sulcus of the lateral sides of their pronotum at the apex. Differential diagnosis. With same characters as nominotypical subspecies, T. intermedia ssp. lugens is remarkable for the usual small size of the tubercles of its mesoventrite (fig. 170); the females are well characterized by their somewhat folded elytra; the tuft of hair in the middle of the last abdominal ventrite is very small, sometimes almost invisible. We maintain this subspecies because of the above mentioned differential characters and its populational isolation at the heights of Sierra Nevada. Host plants: Hormatophylla spinosa (L.) Küpfer (Brassicaceae) (PETITPIERRE, 1976 sub Alyssum spinosum; GONZÁLEZ-MEJÍAS & GÓMEZ, 2001; GONZÁLEZ-MEJÍAS et al., 2004). The records of Veronica fruticulosa L. and Plantago nivalis Boiss. (JOLIVET, 1954, 1967; JOLIVET & PETITPIERRE, 1973) possibly resulted from a misidentification with T. insparsa. Distribution: A taxon endemic to altitudes over 2000m in Sierra Nevada in Granada province (fig. 281). Previous specific records: GRANADA. Sierra Nevada: above 2000m (COBOS, 1954; VELA & BASTAZO, 2013); Sierra Nevada: Cerro Pelado y Mulhacén (JOLIVET, 1954); Sierra Nevada: Pico Veleta (PETITPIERRE, 1976); Sierra Nevada: Laguna de Aguas Verdes (PETITPIERRE & ANICHTCHENKO, 2018).

Type locality. “Jaen”. Type specimens examined. LECTOTYPE, ♂ (herein designated, fig. 41): “Jaen [h] // Coll. Kraatz [p, w] // Syntypus [p, r]” (SDEI, coll. Kraatz). PARALECTOTYPE, 1 ♀ (fig. 42): “Coll. Kraatz [p, w] // Syntypus [p, r]” (SDEI, coll. Kraatz). Comments. In the description, KRAATZ (1879) stated that he found several specimens of this species; so maybe there are additional syntypes somewhere. PETITPIERRE & ANICHTCHENKO (2018) erroneously misidentified T. kiesenwetteri as a subspecies of T. intermedia. Later, PETITPIERRE (2019) correctly considered T. kiesenwetteri a proper species. Diagnosis. Male: 12.7 mm (lectotype); females: 14.3-15.3 mm, 15.0 mm (paralectotype). Dorsum black with a violet shade, matt (figs. 41, 42). Last maxillary palp is slightly wider in the male than in the female (figs. 86b-87b). Antennomeres not very elongate; their ratio is 12-5-10-8-9-8-9-8-7-7-10 (♂) (fig. 86a) and 12-5-11-8-9-9-9-8-7-8-12 (♀) (fig. 86a). Pronotum 1.7 (♂), 1.8-2.0 (♀♀) wider than long, very protruding laterally, almost similarly narrowed both distally and proximally, with maximum width at the middle (fig. 144), sparsely but uniformly punctated, with small and uneven punctures (figs. 110-111). Punctures of the elytra stronger than in pronotum, with a fine secondary punctation (figs. 41, 42). Femora and tibiae thick, the latter well widened at the apex. Mesoventrite bituberculated (fig. 174). Meso and metatarsomeres I in males show a glabrous line at its basal 1/4. Vestiture formula of tarsi in females is 1,1,4/5; 1,1,4/5; 1,1,4/5-1. Aedeagus slightly pointed, not very curved in lateral view (fig. 215). Sclerite of the endophallus with a single phanera, elongate, almost reaching the apex of the flagellum (fig. 239). The endophallus has not been inflated. Spermatheca in asymmetric C-shape, with basal arm shorter than distal one, apex acute (fig. 271). Differential diagnosis: this species can be only confused with T. marginicollis. The lateral sides of the pronotum of T. kiesenwetteri are not so sinuate near the base, the pronotum is more protruding laterally (figs. 110-111, 142), and the elytra have a somewhat stronger punctation (figs. 41-42), whereas in T. marginicollis the punctation of the elytra is usually much weaker, which gives it a smooth appearance. The vestiture of tarsus in females has an almost complete glabrous medial band in T. kiesenwetteri (fig. 189 for T. kiesenwetteri sagrensis, similar to typonominal subspecies), whereas in T. marginicollis the tarsomeres II and III have a glabrous medial band that reaches only the middle of each tarsomere (fig. 190). The aedeagus of T. marginicollis is very characteristic in its anchor shaped apex (fig. 213), which is different from that of T. kiesenwetteri (fig. 215). The spermathecae too are quite different (fig. 268 for T. kiesenwetteri, and fig. 270 for T. marginicollis). Host plants: Unknown.

Comments. The original description is based on two males collected in 1900 by Escalera and kept in ZMHB. We have been able to study very few specimens of T. kiesenwetteri s.str. and T. kiesenwetteri sagrensis, and provisionally prefer to keep both taxa separate due to some differential features of the punctation of the pronotum and elytra, and of the aedeagal sclerite. Diagnosis. Males: 11.0-13.0 mm (lectotype: 11,5 mm; paralectotype: 11.0 mm); females: 13.8-16,1 mm. Body black to completely bronze (figs. 43, 44). Last maxillary palp similar in the male than in the female (figs. 88b, 89b). Antennomeres not very elongate; their ratio is 12-6-8-8-8-7-9-7-8-7-12 (♂) (fig. 88a) and 13-5-10-9-8-8-10-7-7-8-13 (♀) (fig. 89a). Pronotum 1.8-2.0 (♂♂), 2.0-2.1 (♀♀) wider tan long, very protruding laterally, almost similarly narrowed distally and proximally, with maximum width at the middle (figs. 145, 146), moderately and densely punctated with some stronger punctures (figs. 112, 113). The elytra’s punctures are stronger than those in pronotum, without a fine secondary punctation; interspaces elevated, usually making a vermiculate sculpture (figs. 43, 44). Femora and tibiae thick, the latter being well widened at the apex. Mesoventrite bituberculated (fig. 175). Vestiture formula of tarsi in females is 1,1,4/5; 1,1,4/5; 1,1,4/5-1 (fig. 189). Aedeagus as illustrated in fig. 214. Sclerite of endophallus (fig. 240) a little bit different to the type of T. kiesenwetteri kiesenwetteri. The endophallus has not been inflated. Spermatheca in asymmetric C-shape, with basal arm shorter than distal one, apex acute (fig. 272), similarly to that of the nominotypical subspecies. Differential diagnostic. It can be distinguished from T. kiesenwetteri s.str. in that T. kiesenwetteri ssp. sagrensis has bronze shine and a much stronger punctation on pronotum and elytra, and the spaces between punctures in the elytra are elevated and usually vermiculated in different degrees.

We were unable to find the types of T. marginicollis in ZMHB or MNHN. They’re not in Zoologische Staatssammlung München either (KIPPENBERG, 2017). The combination T. marginicollis ab. nevadensis Fairm. in WEISE (1916: 208) is an erroneous attribution, whereas T. nevadensis is a synonym of T. intermedia ssp. lugens. With regard to T. sericea var. escalerae, we did not studied the types, but we agree with the opinion of WEISE (1916) and GÓMEZ-ZURITA & KIPPENBERG (2010) that, according to the original description, it is a junior synonym of T. marginicollis. Diagnosis. A large species. Males: 11.7-15.1 mm (lectotype of T. splendida: 12.7 mm); females: 14.4-16.5 mm. Body blackish, bronze black or violet, sometimes may be bicolour, legs with metallic shine (figs. 45-49). Last maxillary palp not or slightly wider in males than in females (figs. 90b, 91b). Antennomeres elongate; their ratio is 11-6-8-8-9-9-8-8-8-9-13 (♂) (fig. 90a) and 16-7-9-10-10-10-8-7-9-9-12 (♀) (fig. 91a). Transverse pronotum, 1.6-2.0 (♂♂, ♀♀) times wider than long, with sparse, uniform and sometimes uneven, strong punctation, usually with complete margin around the whole perimeter, seldom somewhat obliterated at the basal angles (figs. 114-115, 147148); lateral sides are strongly curved, narrower and slightly sinuated posteriorly, with maximum width shortly ahead of the middle. Punctation of the elytra normally weaker than the pronotum’s, sometimes completely obliterate (figs. 45-49). Mesoventrite bituberculated (fig. 173). Tarsal formula in female is 2/3-1,1/4-1/2, 0-1/3; ¾-4/5, ¼-1/2, 0-1/3; 4/5-1, 2/3-1, ¼-1/2 (fig. 190). Aedeagus in dorsal view with a characteristic anchor form (fig. 213), in rare specimens may be deformed (fig. 214). Sclerite of endophallus with two well separated, large wings (fig. 241). Inflated endophallus very complex (fig. 250, see also fig. 10 in PETITPIERRE & ANICHTCHENKO, 2018, and fig. 28 in DACCORDI et al., 2020). Spermatheca short, with basal arm shorter than distal one and apex rounded and slightly dilated (fig. 273). Variability: A variable species in size, colour and punctation. In rare specimens the anterior margin of the pronotum is not complete or otherwise the lateral margin is only visible in its central part. Differential diagnosis. This species is hardly mistaken for others. See in T. kiesenwetteri. Host plants: Galium sp. (Rubiaceae) (JOLIVET, 1954, 1967; JOLIVET & PETITPIERRE, 1973; present data). The record of Asperula sp. (Rubiaceae) by VELA & BASTAZO (1999) should be confirmed. Distribution: Southern Spain, in the provinces of Granada, Jaén, Murcia, Albacete and Ciudad Real (fig. 285). Old records from Valencia (PÉREZ-ARCAS, 1872) should be confirmed.

Later authors recorded it in catalogues or repeated the original description. WEISE (1916) listed it with some doubts as a synonym of T. goettingensis. GÓMEZ-ZURITA & KIPPENBERG (2010) regarded it as a nomen dubium, and PETIPTIERRE & ALONSO-ZARAZAGA (2019) listed it among the synonyms of T. hispanica with a question mark. We failed to find the types of this species. Interestingly, the types of T. apricaria, species described by WALTL (1835) in the same work, are present in ZMHB. In this situation and with the purpose of clarifying its doubtful taxonomic status, we here designate a neotype for Timarcha scutellaris. The selected neotype accords with the original description and comes from a location (Cádiz, La Línea) close to that where we suppose that Waltl could collect the species; it is worth to remark that the types of T. apricaria, due to their colouration and slight folding of elytra, are most probably specimens coming from the South of the Cádiz province. Timarcha hispanica was validly described by HERRICHSCHÄFFER (1838). Later, PÉREZ-ARCAS (1865) considered it as close to T. goettingensis, but this opinion was modified by Fairmaire (in FAIRMAIRE & ALLARD: 1873: 157). Afterwards, FAIRMAIRE (1884: 83) contested again the interpretation of T. hispanica given by both PÉREZ-ARCAS (1865) and WEISE (1882). The first locality for T. hispanica appears in DEJEAN (1821, 1836, 1837) as Hispania. In the original description (HERRICH-SCHÄFFER, 1838) there is not an explicit locality. Specific locations are found in FAIRMAIRE & ALLARD (1873) as “Madrid, Guadarrama (Mieg.); Andalousie, Murcie (Guirao)”. We failed to find the types of Timarcha described by HERRICHSCHÄFFER (1838), and therefore, with the purpose to clarify the nomenclature we have here designate a neotype from a locality at about 20 km SE Madrid. T. scutellaris was doubtfully listed as a synonym of T. goettingensis (WEISE, 1916) or T. hispanica (PETITPIERRE & ALONSO-ZARAZAGA, 2019). Timarcha sobrina Fairmaire was listed as a synonym of T. hispanica laevisterna (GÓMEZ-ZURITA & KIPPENBERG, 2010) or T. hispanica (PETIPTIERRE & ALONSOZARAZAGA, 2019), but T. sobrina is a valid species, different from T. scutellaris. PETITPIERRE & ALONSO-ZARAZAGA (2019) correctly considered T. erosa and T. vermiculata as junior synonyms of T. hispanica. The statement by GOZIS (1875) that T. gallica Fairmaire & Allard, 1873 and T. bruleriei Bellier, 1870 are synonyms of T. scutellaris is incorrect. Old records of Timarcha rugosa (Linnaeus) from Southern Spain (see HEYDEN 1883), possibly are to be referred to T. scutellaris. Diagnosis. Males: 10.0-12.2 mm (neotype of T. scutellaris: 11.9 mm; lectotypes: T. rugipennis: 9.4 mm, T. erosa: 11.3 mm, T. vermiculata: 11.6 mm, T. laevisterna: 10.5 mm); females: 10.614.5 mm. Body black, antennae and legs with a slight blue shine (figs. 50-58). Last maxillary palp wider in males than in females (figs. 92b, 93b). Antennomeres not very elongate; their ratio is 10-4-7-7-7-6-8-5-7-7-10 (♂) (fig. 92a) and 11-5-7-7-75-6-6-6-6-10 (♀) (fig. 93a). Pronotum transverse, 1.8-2.1 (♂♂), 1.9-2.1 (♀♀) times wider than long, laterally regularly curved, with maximum width in the middle, sometimes the lateral sides are slightly protruding outwards at the base (figs. 149-154). A species usually recognized for its dense punctation on elytra, making the surface vermiculated or rugose, with punctures sometimes anastomosed, and for the regularly curved sides of the pronotum. The punctation of head and pronotum goes from sparsely distributed to a denser punctation, it is to say, ranging the distance between punctures ranges from 2-3 times to 1-2 times the diameter of a puncture. On the elytra the punctation is dense, with distances between punctures from 0.5-1 times the diameter of a puncture in some specimens to 1-2 times the diameter of a puncture in others; secondary punctation is finer in the spaces between punctures; the elytra may be vermiculated, but in some populations the spaces between punctures are not elevated (figs. 54-58). Mesoventrite bituberculated and very protruding (figs. 176). Tarsal vestiture in females with a glabrous line along the tarsomeres, the tarsal formula being 1,1,1; 1,1,1; 1,1,1; the tarsomere III generally deeply notched at the apex, and with the glabrous line narrowed but not obliterated distally (figs. 191-193). Aedeagus in dorsal view narrowed near the apex with usually straight, convergent sides, with shortly rounded tip (figs. 217-221). Sclerite of endophallus with a single, long and distally curved phanera (fig. 242). Inflated endophallus is small and simple (fig. 251-252; see also fig. 31 in PETITPIERRE & ANICHTCHENKO, 19 Nº 3: 1-70. 1-II-2022 - The genus Timarcha from the South of the Iberian Peninsula Suplementos del Boletín de la Asociación Española de Entomología - José Miguel Vela & Mauro Daccordi 2018). Spermatheca variable, short or somewhat elongate, with apex rounded (figs. 274-276). Variability: Specimens from Southern Portugal (described as T. vermiculata) show more weakly punctured pronotum and elytra (figs. 54, 57). Differential diagnosis. Within the species with well developed and evidently bituberculated mesoventrite, the small specimens of T. scutellaris can only be mistaken for T. granadensis (see in this species for differential characters). Host plants: Galium sp. (JOLIVET & PETITPIERRE, 1973), Crucianella maritima L. (PETITPIERRE, 2019; present data) (Rubiaceae), and Plantago macrorhiza Poiret (Plantaginaceae) (present data, observations in Cádiz, La Línea). Distribution: Central and Southern Spain (generally North of Guadalquivir basin, missing across the Bethic range) and Central and Southern Portugal (fig. 287). Previous specific records: PORTUGAL.

The type series of T. strophium is also composed by 6 additional paralectotypes: 1 ♂, 2 ♀♀ “Cuenca [h, p]” (ZMHB) and 1 ♂ “Cuenca / 1.4.87 [h, w]”, 1 ♀ “Cuenca / 31.3.87 [h, w]”, 1 ♀ “Cuenca / 1.4.87 [h, w]” (ZSM). In ZMHB and ZSM there are some specimens with labels: “Cuenca / 14.4.96 [h probably by Weise, w] which were collected after the description date, so they are not syntypes. Diagnosis. A medium sized species, the length indicated in the original description is 10.5-15.0 mm (♂♂, ♀♀); males: lectotype: 12.5 mm (lectotype), 10.4-12.0 mm (paralectotypes); females: 15.1 mm (paralectotype). Body black (fig. 59, 60). Last maxillary palp similar in males than in females (figs. 94b, 95b). Antennomeres not very elongate; their ratio is about 10-5-7-8-8-7-8-7-7-7-10 (figs. 94a, 95a). Transverse pronotum, 1.7 -1.9 (♂♂), 1.9 (♀) times wider than long, with moderate, well visible, sparse, irregular punctation (fig. 120); margin is normally complete around the whole perimeter; lateral sides are strongly curved and narrower posteriorly, where they are sinuate; posterior angle protrudes a little bit outwards; the maximum width is in the middle (fig. 155). Punctation of the elytra is stronger than the pronotum’s, interspersed with smaller punctures (figs. 59, 60). Bituberculated mesoventrite (figs. 177-179). The last ventrite has a hair tuft in the middle. Tarsal vestiture in female is 1,1,3/4-1; 1,1,3/4-1; 1,1,3/4-1. Aedeagus in dorsal view with rounded apex (fig. 222). Sclerite of endophallus with a thick flagellum, curved inwards distally, and a single phanera longer that in T. intermedia, going out the flagellum in its basal 2/5 (fig. 243). Endophallus and spermatheca not studied. Differential diagnosis. This species is closely related to T. intermedia. Both species can be distinguished in that T. intermedia is on average larger, with finer punctation (sometimes hardly visible) in the pronotum and elytra, the sides of its pronotum near the base are usually not sinuated, and the posterior angles are not protruding. The aedeagus, the endophallus sclerite and the spermatheca are quite different. Host plants: No information, but probably a Brassicaceae, as it is for T. strophium ssp. carmelenae. Distribution: Central Eastern Spain: “Near Cuenca” (Cuenca) and Sierra de Javalambre (Teruel) (WEISE, 1888) (fig. 288). Previous specific records: No one since the original description.

Body black (figs. 61, 62). Last maxillary palp similar in males than in females (figs. 96b, 97b). Antennomeres more or less elongate, with ratio 10-5-8-7-8-7-8-5-7-6-10 (♂) (fig. 96a) and 11-6-9-9-7-9-8-6-7-8-11 (♀) (fig. 97a). Transverse pronotum, 1.8-2.2 (♂♂, ♀♀) times wider than long, with generally weak, regularly sparse punctation (fig. 121); the margin may be complete around the whole perimeter, but in some populations the posterior angle is not well visible from above, or otherwise the margin may be obliterated at the posterior angle; lateral sides regularly curved and occasionally are subcordiform, with maximum width a little bit ahead of the middle; usually the posterior angles are somewhat protruding outwards (figs. 156-159). Punctation of elytra usually is weak but stronger than in pronotum, with secondary minor punctation (figs. 61, 62). Mesoventrite bituberculated (figs. 180-183). Last ventrite with a tuft of hair in the middle. Tarsal formula in female is 1,1,3/4-1; 1,1,3/4-1; 1,1,3/4-1 (fig. 194). Genitalia as in the nominotypical subspecies. Aedeagus as in figs. 224-226. Sclerite of the endophallus, with some variations, as in figs. 244a-b. Inflated endophallus very large (fig. 253; see also figs. 5-6 in PETITPIERRE & ANICHTCHENKO, 2018). Spermatheca long, thin, sometimes 21 Nº 3: 1-70. 1-II-2022 - The genus Timarcha from the South of the Iberian Peninsula Suplementos del Boletín de la Asociación Española de Entomología - José Miguel Vela & Mauro Daccordi curved laterally and apex acute (figs. 277-280), rarely bifurcated (fig. 279). Differential diagnosis. The only character that distinguishes the ssp. carmelenae from the nominotypical subspecies is the somewhat weaker punctation in pronotum and elytra in the former. We provisionally consider valid this subspecies, despite its weak difference, in consideration of their large geographical gap (see fig. 288). Host plants: Mainly found on Hormathophylla spinosa (L.) Küpfer (PETITPIERRE & DACCORDI, 2013), but also on Lobularia maritima (L.) Desv. ssp. maritima (Brassicaceae) (VELA et al., 2017). Distribution: Albacete, Granada, Jaén, Málaga (fig. 288).

The type specimens were collected by Waltl on his entomological trip to Andalusia in 1829 (GISTEL, 1832a). Probably, Gistel named the taxon looking at Waltl’s material or getting some of his duplicates. Few years later, WALTL (1835) described the specimens that he had collected with the same name, T. apricaria. Gistel’s types have not been found in ZSM (Balke, com. pers. to JMV, 2021), and we cannot state for sure if the taxa described by Gistel and by Waltl refer to the same species. Therefore, we consider this name doubtful for the moment. Timarcha angulicollis Motschulsky, 1849 Timarcha angulicollis Motschulsky, 1849: 151 Comment. This name had been included as a synonym of T. tenebricosa (WEISE, 1882: 322; GÓMEZ-ZURITA & KIPPENBERG, 2010: 442; PETITPIERRE & ALONSO-ZARAZAGA, 2019: 504). However, it was described as coming from the surroundings of Cartagena or even from a larger area in the South of Spain (MOTSCHULSKY, 1849), where T. tenebricosa is missing. The reading of the description indicates that it could be a junior synonym of T. apricaria, but it is impossible to be sure. The types are neither in the Zoological Museum of Moscow State University nor in the Zoological Institute of Russian Academy of Sciences, St. Petersbourg, even though the type of T. iberica Motschulsky, 1849, from Georgia, the other Timarcha species described in the same paper, has been successfully found in the latter institution. Another possibility could be that T. angulicollis is a junior synonym to T. intermedia. In both cases T. angulicollis have no priority over said taxa and we cannot take a decision lacking further informations. Species excluded from the iberian fauna timarcha gravis Rosenhauer, 1856 Timarcha gravis Rosenhauer, 1856: 316 (“Sierra Nevada” [in Granada]). Comment. The type of this species (in MNHN), with a wrong label, is a North African species that will be dealt with elsewhere. Timarcha rugosula Rosenhauer, 1856 Timarcha rugosula Rosenhauer, 1856: 321 (non rugosula Rambur in Dejean, unavailable) (“Málaga”). Comment. A syntype (in MNHN) belongs to a European species not living in the South of the Iberian Peninsula. The name was actually proposed by Rambur, but the taxon remained undescribed (nomen nudum) in the records by DEJEAN (1836, 1837) (see under T. insparsa). ROSENHAUER (1856) erroneously gave this name to a different species, with barely protuberant mesoventrite, close to T. goettingensis. 22 Nº 3: 1-70. 1-II-2022 - The genus Timarcha from the South of the Iberian Peninsula Suplementos del Boletín de la Asociación Española de Entomología - José Miguel Vela & Mauro Daccordi Key to the southern iberian species of Timarcha Timarcha species can certainly be separated by the sclerite and the endophallus (inner sac), sometimes by the aedeagus, the external characters being helpful. Therefore, the key to the females is approximate, as there are few characters that can perfectly separate the species and their subspecies. For the key to the males, we have used mainly the characters of the aedeagus and the sclerite to species, and external characters for separating the subspecies. In addition to using the key, it is advisable to read the “Differential diagnosis” section under each taxon discussed, to correctly identify species and subspecies. 1. Tarsi large.
