Biology:Agelastica

From HandWiki

Agelastica is a genus of beetles in the family Chrysomelidae.[1]

Species

  • Agelastica alni (Linnaeus, 1758) – Europe, Russia (Siberia), Kazakhstan
  • Agelastica coerulea Baly, 1860 – Japan, China, Russia (Siberia)
  • Agelastica cyanicollis (Jacoby, 1884)*  – Indonesia (Sumatra)
  • Agelastica lineata Blackburn, 1888* – Australia

Note: (*) The latter two species were not mentioned in the Catalogue of Palaearctic Coleoptera, either by Beenen, 2010 (In: Löbl & Smetana, 2010 Eds.), nor update in Bezděk & Sekerka, 2024.[2] This may be as both extralimital origins. Both were mentioned as ’'Incertae sedis'’ in Vassiliades et al. 2025. [3]

Else Agelastica bimaculata (Bertoloni, 1868) is recombined as Hallirhotius bimaculata (Bertoloni, 1868) in Beenen, 2000.[4] Further Agelastica orientalis (Baly, 1878) is a junior subjective synonym of Agelastica alni ssp. glabra (Fischer von Waldheim, 1842) in Bezděk, 2015: 33.[5]
