Description

Protaetia (Macroliocola) montana (Nonfried, 1892)

(Figs 7–9, 19–21)

Cetonia montana Nonfried, 1892: 371 (original description).

Protaetia montana: Arrow 1910: 142 (monograph); Schenkling 1921: 259 (catalogue); Paulian 1960: 69 (monograph), 67 (key).

Protaetia (Liocola) montana: Sakai & Nagai 1998: 288, figs 1035- 1 male, 1035- 2 female (iconography).

Macroliocola montana: Alexis & Delpont 1998: 167 (new generic assignment).

Protaetia (Macroliocola) montana: Krajčík 2011: 38; Smetana 2006: 291 (catalogue); Bezděk 2016: 378 (catalogue); Jákl 2020: 14, figs 10a–10e (habitus, male genitalia).

Type locality. “Hymalaya”.

Type material examined. None. Type material should be probably housed in MFNB. Arrow (1910) mentioned that the type material of P. montana was stored in Nonfried’s collection. Later, Paulian (1960) wrote in his monograph to P. montana literally: “ Type: Himalaya, Zool. Mus. Humboldt Univ., Berlin ”. However, Mikšić (1987) and Alexis & Delpont (1998) both noted that type of P. montana cannot be found. Unfortunately, according to B. Jaeger (MFNB curator, personal communication, 2021) the database of Cetoniinae stored in MFNB did not list type or non-type material for Protaetia montana, although part of Nonfried’s collection (via Moser) is deposited in this museum. Hence, the type series is probably lost. Due to unavailable type material of P. montana, identification of bellow mentioned specimens is based on Alexis & Delpont (1998) and Jákl (2020).

Additional material examined. Vietnam. 1 ♂, 2 ♀♀ (PMCH), Yen Bai province, Mú Cang Chái, 1700 m, April 2020, local collector leg.; 1 ♂ (PMCH), Lai Chau province, August 2020, local collector leg.; 2 ♂♂, 1 ♀ (PMCH), Yen Bai prov., Mù Cang Ch ải district, 1700 m a.s.l., VIII. 2018, native collector leg.

Distribution. Northeastern India; northeastern Laos; northern Thailand; Vietnam (Arrow 1910; Paulian 1960; Alexis & Delpont 1998; Jákl 2020). Record from China: Yunnan (Sasaki 2007) seems to be doubtful.
