Topic: Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Cetoniinae: Trichius rosaceus

Trichius rosaceus is used in the NBN Gateway
Includes the following taxa: Trichius zonatus sensu auctt. Brit. non Germar, 1831, Trichius abdominalis sensu auct. not Menetries, 1832, Trichius abdominalis sensu auctt. Brit. non (Ménétriés & 1832).

This usage is questioned in Zootaxa 3278: 61–68 (2012) On nomenclature and synonymy of Trichius rosaceus, T. gallicus, and T. zonatus (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Cetoniinae: Trichiini) FRANK-THORSTEN KRELL

PESI lists these species
  ·  Trichius abdominalis Erichson, 1848
  ·  Trichius fasciatus (Linnaeus, 1758)
  ·  Trichius orientalis Reitter, 1894
  ·  Trichius pallidipennis Gyllenhal, 1817
  ·  Trichius sexualis Bedel, 1906
  ·  Trichius zonatus Germar, 1829

At http://www.scarabeidi.it/Cetoniidae/Cetoniidae.html#tri
following the Krell publication we have
Trichius fasciatus (Linnaeus, 1758) [N, S]?
Trichius gallicus gallicus Dejean, 1821 [N, S, Si]
?Trichius gallicus zonatus Germar, 1794 [Sa]
?Trichius sexualis Bedel, 1906 [N, S]

Please could you review this matter. Thank you.

Hi Martin

Many thanks for that - I will put it on my list to do and I'll have a work with Andrew Duff to see how he's like the splits/revisions to be applied.

Hi Martin

I have revised the Trichius spp. using Andrew Duff's 2012 list. This involved creating T. gallicus:

Trichius gallicus Dejean, 1821
tvk NHMSYS0020979149

This is now the accepted name for:

Trichius rosaceus (Voët, 1769)  (Species, insect - beetle (Coleoptera))
Trichius abdominalis  sensu auctt. Brit. non (Ménétries, 1832)   
Trichius abdominalis  sensu auct. not Menetries, 1832   
Trichius zonatus  sensu auctt. Brit. non Germar, 1831

Best wishes,
