OBYDOV &amp; SALDAITIS (2010) differentiate their new subspecies from Arabian population described, on the basis of two females, by MANDL (1954) as C. chlorostictum hadramautum, but in more recent publications regarded as synonyms of the nominotypical subspecies (CULOT 1990, BOUSQUET et al. 2003). Authors stated that their new subspecies from Socotra differs in size, robustness, width to length ratios of pronotum and elytra, markedness of primary elytral foveoles, convexity of eyes and sculpture of the head. However, study of our extensive material from Socotra and the African continent has shown the differences claimed by OBYDOV &amp; SALDAITIS (2010) to be invalid. The size and body width to length ratios cannot be used to differentiate between populations (see Table 1), there are no differences in surface sculptures or convexity of eyes, and the shape of the aedeagus (cf. OBYDOV &amp; SALDAITIS 2010: fig. 4) is the same as in specimens from the African continent and Madagascar. We therefore consider C. chlorostictum ivinskisi a junior subjective synonym of C. chlorostictum chlorostictum.</p> <p>The subgeneric placement of C. chlorostictum in the subgenus Calosoma follows the recently proposed classification supported by results of DNA analyses (SU et al. 2005).</p> <p>Collection circumstances. OBYDOV &amp; SALDAITIS (2010) published C. chlorostictum only from the upper part of Ayhaft Valley, a habitat dominated by “ Dracaena cinnabari, Rhus rhyrsiflora [= thyrsifolia], Euryops arabicus, Buxus pedicillata, Gnidia socotrana, Cocculus balourii [= balfourii] and other plant species… Few specimens were light trapped during the night. Another endemic beetle species Mallodon arabicum (Cerambycidae) was collected at the same time”. To the contrary, the new material shows C. chlorostictum to be a typical alate nocturnal predator present virtually throughout the island, although most specimens were collected at lights, many at the midst of Hadiboh, the largest town on the island, on the terrace of the Summer Land Hotel. The species is documented in Socotra Island from altitudes 10–1502 m a.s.l.</p> <p>* PW / HW ratio given by OBYDOV &amp; SALDAITIS (2010) is 1.65, but the habitus photos in their work indicate 1.45 for the male holotype and 1.57 for a female paratype.</p> <p>Distribution. Eastern and southern Africa: Botswana, Djibouti, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Egypt, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Kenya, Lesotho, Madagascar, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, Republic of South Africa, Somalia, Southern Sudan, Sudan, Swaziland, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia, Zimbabwe; south-western Asia: Iraq, Iran, Oman, Saudi Arabia, Yemen (including Socotra Isl.) (DARLINGTON 1936, MANDL 1954, BOUSQUET et al. 2003).</p></div> 	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/203D87B6867FFFD9A3D7CC6BFC5C261D	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
