Ce spécimen m'a été transmis par "Rustique"

Ressemble beaucoup à olivieri, mais stature plus trappue, sculpture plus lisse et surtout le mâle n' a pas les tarses dilatés.

Daniel , pourquoi Caminara au niveau du nom du genre et pas Calosoma?

Together Caminara Motschulsky, 1866 and Campalita Motschulsky, 1866 belong to the Calosoma that have the ligula of the endophallus sclerified ("Calosomes ongulés" sensu Jeannel, 1940). Furthermore, always according to Jeannel (1940), they fall in the phyletic line Castrida-Caminara, that he considers originated from the ancient Afro-Brazilian plateau.
With the exception of American Castrida Motschoulsky, 1866, all other subgenera in the group have the metaepisternum with fine and dense punctuation. Caminara and Campalita differ from Charmosta Motschulsky, 1866 and Ctenosta Motschulsky, 1866 because they still have a seta close to hind angles of the pronotum. The further distinction between them was based on the evolutive characteristics of the sculpture of the elytra, that Jeannel considered as the fundamental element for the reconstruction of the phylogeny of the group. Only two species (C. imbricatum Klug 1832 and C. chlorostictum Dejean 1831) were included in Caminara by Jeannel (1940.

Merci pour l'information sur cet excellent site web de nos cousins latins que je ne connaissais pas !

On peut remarquer que Caminara est normalement intégré chez les Campalita pour plusieurs auteurs.



Position que je partage, donc le titre va peut-être changer.
