03F2E74DFFD8E258FF392350FDBAFC00.taxon	diagnosis	Generic diagnosis. The genus Calomera Motschulsky, 1862 whose species-group taxa were previously included in the genus Lophyridia Jeannel, 1946, appears to be a rather heterogenous genus, yet the main diagnostic characters are shared, with some exceptions, with all species. The characters stated by Rivalier (1950) for species of Lophyridia are a multisetose labrum, setose lateral and ventral body portions, and the internal sac within aedeagus possessing a convoluted flagellum associated with sustaining membranous “ auricular ” sheets.	en	Moravec, Jiří, Dheurle, Charles, Schüle, Peter, Wiesner, Jürgen (2025): Reassessment of the concept of Calomera decemguttata (Fabricius) with a description of Calomera paradecemguttata sp. nov. (Coleoptera: Cicindelidae). Zootaxa 5570 (1): 1-56, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5570.1.1, URL: https://doi.org/10.11646/zootaxa.5570.1.1
03F2E74DFFD8E258FF392350FDBAFC00.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Rivalier (1950) treated Lophyridia (originally Cicindela (Lophyridia) Jeannel, 1946) as an independent genus and expanded its originally narrow concept by including a number of Palaearctic and Oriental species. However, Rivalier (1963), when transferring Cicindela decemguttata Fabricius, 1801 into Lophyridia, failed to recognize that C. decemguttata was designated by Motschulsky (1862) as the type species of Calomera. Acciavatti & Pearson (1989) challenged such a wide concept of Lophyridia (originally proposed for taxa of only Ethiopian and Madagascan regions) and stressed some inconsistencies, particularly in setosity of lateral body portions and number of labral setae. It must be noted here that in contrast to many Palaearctic and Ethiopian-Malagasy species which possess multisetose labrum, some Oriental species including those of the Calomera decemguttata species-complex, are characterized by only 6 – setose, rarely 8 – setose labrum. Nevertheless, as other fundamental diagnostic characters are shared with species from these regions (see also Moravec 2010), all species treated as members of Lophyridia were gradually included (e. g. by Cassola 2004, Moravec 2010) under the genus group name Calomera which has priority. Consequently, in the present concept, Calomera is a large genus, comprising Palaearctic, Oriental and Ethiopian-Malagasy species. Wiesner (2020) listed 68 taxa (36 species and 32 subspecies) with a great number of synonyms. Notwithstanding, a complete taxonomic and nomenclatorial revision of the genus with not-yet-cleared status of a number of taxa (both at species and subspecies level) has never been performed. It must be mentioned here that such a revision of the large genus appears presently very difficult, or even impossible, particularly due to the fact that the type specimens of taxa described by French authors and deposited in the renowned MNHN collection are no longer accessible on loan, as well as for lack of curators in the MNHN collection at present. Several partial revisions of taxa occurring in individual regions were published, such as of Palaearctic Calomera aphrodisia (Baudi, 1864) and C. panormitana (Ragusa, 1906) by Romano & Sparacio (2018); species of C. lunulata “ species group ” (under Lophyridia) was revised by Mandl (1981), species occurring in Indian subcontinent by Acciavatti & Pearson (1989) and Pearson et al. (2020); Calomera of the Philippines by Medina et al. (2021) and partly (under Lophyridia) by Cassola (2011); C. sanguineomaculata and C. marmorata (endemic to the Solomon Islands) were revised (under Lophyridia) by Cassola 1987 b). Since the genus has neither been completely revised, nor subdivided into speciesgroups, we are submitting our revision of the Calomera decemguttata species-complex with highly important new taxonomic and nomenclatorial results.	en	Moravec, Jiří, Dheurle, Charles, Schüle, Peter, Wiesner, Jürgen (2025): Reassessment of the concept of Calomera decemguttata (Fabricius) with a description of Calomera paradecemguttata sp. nov.

03F2E74DFFDEE25FFF3927B1FA62F86B.taxon	description	Universal characters: mandibles normally shaped: each mandible with four teeth (and basal molar). Some adults of species with primarily densely setose genae and proepisterna may have the setae partly or almost entirely abraded, which might cause identification problems (moreover, dorsolateral pronotal areas are primarily variably setose, thus often unreliable for identification). Aberrant adults with anomalously reduced elytral maculation (Figs 73 – 74) are not included in the key – they might be identified only by setosity of genae or shapes of aedeagi, but aedeagus apex is similar and variably shaped in all species except for C. paradecemguttata sp. nov.	en	Moravec, Jiří, Dheurle, Charles, Schüle, Peter, Wiesner, Jürgen (2025): Reassessment of the concept of Calomera decemguttata (Fabricius) with a description of Calomera paradecemguttata sp. nov.

(Coleoptera: Cicindelidae). Zootaxa 5570 (1): 1-56, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5570.1.1, URL: https://doi.org/10.11646/zootaxa.5570.1.1
03F2E74DFFDFE256FF3926FCFF1FFEC0.taxon	diagnosis	Differential diagnosis. Calomera decemguttata, in its original sense, is externally characterized by the pattern of its elytral maculation with constantly obliquely ovaliform subhumeral macula, while lateromedian macula is distinctly or always at least perceptibly distant from the outer elytral margin (Figs 1 – 2, 4 – 5, 11 – 19). Such presence of distant lateromedian macula is shared only with C. bordonii, which however differs in shape and coloration of more rounded and usually deep olivaceous-green pronotal disc, its elytra more dilated below the middle and usually almost black with shorter (mostly rounded) subhumeral macula; for other differences see under C. bordonii below. Body (Figs 1 – 2, 4 – 5) comparatively large, 12.6 – 15.1 (LT 14.0) mm long, 4.30 – 5.40 mm wide, thus generally larger than in C. paradecemguttata sp. nov. (= C. decemguttata sensu auctorum), females usually larger than males. Pronotal surface (Figs 6 – 8) covered with noticeably shallower, fine intricate rugae forming an irregular mosaic on the discal surface, in contrast to much coarser sculpture on discal pronotal surface in C. paradecemguttata sp. nov. (Figs 52 – 54). In addition to the lateromedian macula which is in C. decemguttata placed distant from the outer elytral margin, the macula is also isolated from a large central macula, or only indistinctly connecter with it by a thin stripe (Figs 4 – 5, 11 – 19), in contrast to the elytral maculation in C. paradecemguttata sp. nov., which has the lateromedian macula adjacent to outer elytral margin and with the central macula forming a continuous, cranked lateromedian-discal band (Figs 48, 50 – 51, 65 – 73). Most other external characters of C. decemguttata are very similar to those in C. paradecemguttata sp. nov. as described below. Aedeagus apex in its lateral view is in males of C. decemguttata variably shaped (Figs 31, 33 – 38), but its dorsal (and ventral) aspect (Figs 32, 40) possesses continuous lateral edges (as in all but one other species of the complex); the only exception is the aedeagus of C. paradecemguttata sp. nov., which differs both in its lateral and dorsal (and ventral) aspects (Figs 75 – 92).	en	Moravec, Jiří, Dheurle, Charles, Schüle, Peter, Wiesner, Jürgen (2025): Reassessment of the concept of Calomera decemguttata (Fabricius) with a description of Calomera paradecemguttata sp. nov. (Coleoptera: Cicindelidae). Zootaxa 5570 (1): 1-56, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5570.1.1, URL: https://doi.org/10.11646/zootaxa.5570.1.1
03F2E74DFFDFE256FF3926FCFF1FFEC0.taxon	distribution	Distribution. As mentioned above, the type locality of C. decemguttata is unknown. The occurrence in Java was questioned by Horn (1926), Cassola (1991) and others. Nevertheless, it was not the first case when historical authors did not recognize or confused geography – for instance, the type of Megalomma (M.) viridulum Quensel, 1806, endemic to Mauritius, was labelled by Quensel “ Inde oriental. ” and other specimens “ India Orientalis ”, and so on (see Moravec 2010). Dejean (1836) in his redescription of C. decemguttata from “ Bourou ” = island of Buru, Maluku, obviously had Calomera bordonii which is endemic to the Buru Island in his hands. Most specimens of C. decemguttata examined come from the Maluku archipelago (= Moluccas), particularly from Seram (= Ceram), including Banda Island and the Key Islands (also known as Ewab Islands, Kei Islands, Kepulauan Kai), the island group of the southeastern Moluccas lying west of the Aru Islands and southeast of Seram in the Banda Sea and Ambon Island (in Dutch “ Amboina ”, but also spelled as “ Amboine ” or “ Amboyne ”) with the city of Ambon, the capital of the province of Maluku in this eastern part of Indonesia; specimens (MFNB) labelled “ Leitimor ” come from the Leitimor Peninsula, southern shore part of the Ambon area. It must be noted here that due to the erroneous previous concept of C. decemguttata, the distribution of this species listed by both historical and recent authors, including Wiesner (2020), covers also the occurrence of C. paradecemguttata sp. nov.	en	Moravec, Jiří, Dheurle, Charles, Schüle, Peter, Wiesner, Jürgen (2025): Reassessment of the concept of Calomera decemguttata (Fabricius) with a description of Calomera paradecemguttata sp. nov.

03F2E74DFFDFE256FF3926FCFF1FFEC0.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The hitherto erroneous concept of C. decemguttata (see “ Abstract ” and “ Introduction ” above), was primarily caused by the fact that probably no authors (evidently none of the recent ones) had examined the genuine type of Cicindela decemguttata Fabricius, 1801. An exception was the renowned entomologist Robert E. Acciavatti (Pittsburgh, USA), who labelled the genuine type in ZMKC (now in ZMUK) with a red lectotype label, but unfortunately never published the designation and results of the examination. It must also be noted here that the male species which was illustrated recently as C. decemguttata by Schüle (2010, figs 5, 8, 11) and Wiesner (2018, figs 4, 11) was in fact a male of C. paradecemguttata sp. nov. described below.	en	Moravec, Jiří, Dheurle, Charles, Schüle, Peter, Wiesner, Jürgen (2025): Reassessment of the concept of Calomera decemguttata (Fabricius) with a description of Calomera paradecemguttata sp. nov.

03F2E74DFFD7E243FF3927F8FE77F9F4.taxon	diagnosis	Differential diagnosis. Calomera paradecemguttata sp. nov., hitherto commonly referred to in literature as Calomera decemguttata (sensu auctorum), is externally immediately distinguished from the true Cicindela decemguttata by the pattern of its yellowish elytral maculation (Figs 48,50 – 51, 65 – 74), particularly with lateromedian macula adjacent to the outer elytral margin and in form of continuous, cranked lateromedian-discal band (in contrast to the lateromedian macula in C. decemguttata, which is distinctly or always at least noticeably separated from the outer elytral margin (Figs 1 – 2, 4 – 5, 11 – 19). Other diagnostic characters include at least partly densely setose genae and proepisterna (Fig. 55), as well as notably coarser pronotal surface sculpture with usually numerous setae along dorsolateral discal areas (Figs 52 – 54), in contrast to the only partly and sparsely setose proepisterna, almost glabrous genae (usually with only few setae at their base), finer pronotal surface sculpture with sparser discal dorsolateral setosity in C. decemguttata (Figs 6 – 9), even if the setae on the surfaces are easily abraded and the setosity sometimes varies. Discal-juxtasutural catoptric area on female elytra (Figs 51, 68 – 69) is mostly distinct. Males of C. paradecemguttata sp. nov. are clearly distinguished by the shape of the aedeagus apical portion in its dorsal (and ventral) aspect having on each side of its lateral edges characteristic indentation (Figs 76, 78, 80, 82, 84, 88), in contrast to the aedeagi of C. decemguttata (and all others of this species-complex) which have their lateral edges in dorsal (and ventral) view continuously conically attenuated towards apex (Figs 32, 40).	en	Moravec, Jiří, Dheurle, Charles, Schüle, Peter, Wiesner, Jürgen (2025): Reassessment of the concept of Calomera decemguttata (Fabricius) with a description of Calomera paradecemguttata sp. nov.

03F2E74DFFD7E243FF3927F8FE77F9F4.taxon	description	Description. Body (Figs 48, 50 – 51) variably medium-sized to large, 11.1 – 13.5 (HT 12.4, AT 11.8) mm long, 4.20 – 5.05 (AT 4.50) mm wide (females usually larger but sometimes smaller than males, exceptionally (from Obi Island) 14.2 mm long, 5.25 mm wide. Head (Figs 48, 50, 51, 56 – 58), with large eyes but notably narrower than body (across elytra), width 3.10 – 3.60 (– 3.80) mm; all dorsal portions glabrous. Frons fluently passing into vertex, its surface rather distinctly convex in middle, black-coppery or more vividly cupreous, extremely finely and densely longitudinally striate, striae becoming irregularly asperate in middle when passing on vertex; supraantennal plates rather large, flat, metallic black-green, or variably iridescent green, green-blue, reddish-cupreous or violet. Vertex almost flat with small, limited convection in middle, dark coppery or vividly iridescent cupreous, often (mostly in males) with limited blue-green or violet-blue anterior-sublateral stripes, in females more often uniformly coppery yet sometimes with vividly cupreous, rarely greenish iridescence, very rarely almost black; anteromedian area extremely finely irregularly granulate-asperate to extremely irregularly finely rugulose (as passing from frons) becoming very irregularly rugulose and wavy posteriad; juxtaorbital areas densely parallel striate yet striae on juxtaorbital margin sometimes irregularly fragmented, while more regular and thicker on sublateral areas when divergent posteriad as passing onto temples and genae; postero-median area irregularly vermicular-rugulose, sculpture passing onto notably convex occiput (mostly hidden under pronotum). Genae (Fig. 55) iridescent green, sometimes with bronze-cupreous lustre, finely and densely parallel striate, primarily rather densely whitish setose, either prevailingly on their posteromedian area, or at least on posteroventral area, yet the setae are easily (usually partly) abraded; anterior area almost glabrous. Clypeus variably deep metallic green, green-blue or cupreous with green-blue margins, alternatively darkviolet, surface glabrous, finely irregularly wrinkled or coriaceous. Labrum (Figs 59 – 64) primarily 6 - setose (occasionally with five or seven setae developed); male labrum almost uniformly ivory-yellow or yellow to ochre-testaceous with only narrow blackish margins and blackened teeth, mostly almost uniformly shaped in both sexes and comparatively rather long, length 0.85 – 1.05 (– 1.15) mm, width 1.70 – 1.85 (– 2.00) mm; central convexity moderate; basolateral margins only slightly convex, basolateral anterolateral teeth absent or bluntly indicated; anterior margin almost uniformly tridentate, the teeth right-angled but primarily pointed, median tooth variably slightly or notably longer. Mandibles (Figs 48, 50 – 51, 56 – 58) sexually dimorphic in coloration: ivory-yellow or ochre-testaceous with black teeth in male, while metallic black with only limited testaceous basal area in female, normally shaped with arcuate lateral margins, almost symmetrical, both mandibles with four teeth (and basal molar), apical teeth of moderate length (comparatively short within the genus); second tooth larger than third and fourth teeth, yet slightly variably the third tooth in left mandible is sometimes smaller than the fourth. Palpi (Figs 56 – 58). Maxillary palpi with longest palpomere in males variably metallic black-brown, or brownish-testaceous (also in HT Fig. 56), while constantly black-brown or metallic black in females, penultimate and terminal palpomeres metallic black in both sexes, in males mostly with green, green-blue or reddish-cupreous lustre; labial palpi in both sexes with longest palpomere yellow-testaceous (often darkened in female), terminal palpomere metallic black. Antennae (Figs 48, 50 – 51, 56 – 58) rather long, almost reaching elytral half in males, elytral third in females; antennomeres 1 – 4 metallic-black, usually with strong greenish-blue, rarely partly faint reddish-cupreous lustre, in females generally darker (in some males from Obi Island entirely iridescent reddish-cupreous), with sparse stiff setae; antennomeres 5 – 11 greyish-blackened with usual micropubescence.

Aedeagus (Figs 75 – 92) elongate, 3.50 – 3.85 mm long, 0.80 – 0.85 (– 0.95) mm wide, widest in middle and then in subapical ventral outline, then conically constricted towards apex which is in its left lateral view of a rather variable shape (as in most others of the species-complex), appearing bilobed as consisting of a narrowly conical, more sclerotized blunt knob and a dorsal, rounded nose-like lobe; in dorsal (and ventral) view (Figs 76, 78, 80, 82, 84, 88) the lateral edges of the apical portion possessing distinct indentations (on each side of the apical portion). Internal sac (Figs 85 – 86, 89 – 92) widely armed, with conspicuous arciform piece which in right lateral view (Figs 86, 90) appears as conspicuous central spike; as in other species the internal sac possesses a multi-convoluted flagellum associated with sustaining membranous “ auricular ” sheets; the loops of the convoluted flagellum change their shapes when the aedeagus is somewhat turned and appears differently shaped in the right lateral view. Nevertheless, as mentioned in “ Variability ”, “ Remarks ” and “ Distribution ” below, the internal sac in the male from Obi Island, Maluku, appears different. Variability. All type specimens of this new species possess usual variability in coloration of the head and pronotum and insignificant variability in whitish elytral maculation, as treated in the description above, except for the aberrant adults with reduced maculation, such as from Palau Peleng (Fig. 73). One historical male specimen with notably reduced elytral maculation (paratype in SDEI), labelled “ Tombaogoe ” (= Tombugu, also spelled Tombuku), comes from the Central Sulawesi Province, Marowali Regency. Some specimens from other islands of the Maluku, such as the Gebe Island (CDCL, Fig. 74) and two females (SDEI) from Taroena, Mt. Sangir in the Sangihe Islands (also spelled Sangir) north-east of the Sulawesi Minahassa Peninsula, also possess considerably reduced maculation. The aedeagi of males with such reduced elytral maculation possess the same shape as in the holotype and all other examined males of C. paradecemguttata sp. nov., including their lateral indentations in dorsal view. However, males from Obi Island, such as the male illustrated by Schüle (2010, fig. 5) under the at-the-time-confused-name C. decemguttata, although possessing aedeagi as in C. paradecemguttata sp. nov., their internal sac (Fig. 92) somewhat differs. Added to that, as also obvious from the above-mentioned fig. 5 by Schüle (2010), the pronotal surface has finer sculpture and is more reddish, antennomeres 1 – 4 iridescent red, and elytral maculation wider in most of the specimens from Obi Island than in the type specimens; moreover, several females from Obi Island are notably larger and with wider elytral maculation, thus resembling C. mamasa (their measures are in parenthesis in the “ Description ” above). See also “ Remarks ” and “ Distribution ” below. In some very old male specimens, the dorsal aspect of the aedeagus has the lateral indentation obvious on only one side, as it was probably partly deformed when extracted from the abdomen of the hard body supposedly killed by strong ethanol.	en	Moravec, Jiří, Dheurle, Charles, Schüle, Peter, Wiesner, Jürgen (2025): Reassessment of the concept of Calomera decemguttata (Fabricius) with a description of Calomera paradecemguttata sp. nov.

03F2E74DFFD7E243FF3927F8FE77F9F4.taxon	distribution	Distribution. Calomera paradecemguttata sp. nov. inhabits the large Indonesian island Sulawesi and some other islands of Maluku. The type locality is Wakarumba on the island of Palau Buton adjacent to the southeastern peninsula of Sulawesi. All other type specimens also come from the main Sulawesi territory which is formed also with small adjacent islands. Most adults were taken in the area of Palu Palolo Valley southeast of Palu, mostly by local insect dealers. Palu, despite its northwestern location, is the capital of the (administrate) Central Sulawesi Province (Sulawesi Tengah). In the Polewali Mamasa Regency, Province of West Sulawesi (Sulawesi Barat), the new species is sympatric, but not syntopic with C. mamasa as inhabiting different areas of lower altitudes. The third author of the present paper collected C. paradecemguttata on riverbanks of the Jeneberang river (“ Berang ” on the labels) in South Sulawesi, east of Mankara (Fig. 236), as well as near the Mamasa river. This species has obviously a rather wide range of habitats, such as sea beaches, but also away from the water, occurring also on roads and other biotopes, and almost year-round (depending on altitudes). Adults from Rantepao, Palopo (MHCP) were taken on a stony ground of a quarry near a road through a hilly area, outside a forest. Some paratypes come from northern Sulawesi areas, Manado (also spelled “ Menado ”) and from the Minahassa Peninsula with the Bogani Nani Wartabone (= Dumoga Bone) National Park. The specimens occurring in North Maluku, Halmahera, on the island of Obi, island of Bacan and other islands, including the Sangihe Islands north-east of the Minahassa Peninsula, as well as far more distant Palau Karakelang, the main island of the Talaud Islands north east of Sulawesi, are not included as paratypes, particularly due to the great biodiversity in Indonesia and possible allopatric speciation (see also “ Variability ” above). The two above-listed female specimens with “ Java, Jakarta ” on their labels have characters of C. paradecemguttata sp. nov., but were evidently mislabelled; an accidental spreading from Sulawesi, e. g. by ships, is conceivable yet in this case of the only two specimens appears improbable. It must be emphasized here that in accordance with the above-discussed confusion, specimens listed by Cassola (1991) from Sulawesi under C. decemguttata (including those listed here from MCHW) were in fact C. paradecemguttata sp. nov.	en	Moravec, Jiří, Dheurle, Charles, Schüle, Peter, Wiesner, Jürgen (2025): Reassessment of the concept of Calomera decemguttata (Fabricius) with a description of Calomera paradecemguttata sp. nov.

03F2E74DFFC2E246FF3920ACFBDFFE50.taxon	diagnosis	Differential diagnosis. Calomera bordonii possesses a similar pattern of its elytral maculation with C. decemguttata, with the lateromedian macula distinctly or always at least noticeably distant from the outer elytral margin, but the subhumeral macula in C. bordonii is rounded or at least always shorter, and female upper-discal catoptric area indistinct (Figs 100, 102, 115 – 116). Basic elytral coloration velvety black; furthermore, C. bordonii is immediately distinguished by the almost subglobose shape of the pronotal disc in males, olivaceous-green pronotal surface with faint or sometimes bright green, green-blue and violet reflections and with rather coarser surface sculpture, yet the rugae on sublateral areas are usually more spaced (Figs 103 – 104). In addition, male labrum is generally longer and the surface of female labrum has deeper sublateral impression (Figs 108 – 111). Body 13.8 – 15.1 mm long.

Head and pronotum deep olivaceous-green with bright green and faint cupreous reflections and almost or entirely glabrous dorsolateral pronotal areas, thus similar to C. bordonii, but C. jakli is immediately distinguished by subtrapezoid shape of lateral margins of its pronotal disc (Figs 131 – 132). Elytral maculation (Figs 123 – 124, 129 – 130, 133, 136) generally large and less spaced, with humeral macula separated from rather large, rounded or subquadrate subhumeral macula; lateromedian macula large, almost adjacent to outer elytral margin and closer to central macula or connected with it with a narrow stripe but not forming entire lateromedian band; anteapical-apical lunula wide but rather short; three paratypes, one male and one female (PSCH) and one female (CDCL), have unusually an additional, small but clear basal spot (Fig. 130). Labrum with almost effaced anterolateral teeth and with only shallow or indistinct excision on either side of median tooth (Figs 127 – 128).

03F2E74DFFC7E278FF392020FDC5F871.taxon	diagnosis	Differential diagnosis. Calomera cabigasi is rather clearly distinguished from all preceding species, with which it shares glabrous genae, by its elytral maculae which are isolated and notably spaced (central macula rarely indistinctly thinly connected with lateromedian one), lateromedian macula placed more dorsally, while small, elongate lateromedian ventral-most spot is perfectly or almost at the same level with central macula (Figs 139, 141, 146 – 147, 152, 155, 161 – 163). Lateral areas of pronotal surface mostly glabrous or with occasional setae only (Figs 142, 154, 158 – 160). Labrum with mostly markedly blackened anterior area (Figs 140, 149 – 151, 153).

03F2E74DFFFEE271FF392038FB0BFB91.taxon	diagnosis	Differential diagnosis. Calomera mamasa belongs to the largest species of the complex. Body 13.5 – 15.5 (HT 14.0) mm long, 4.95 – 5.45 (HT 5.05) mm wide. It can be easily distinguished from other species of the species-complex by its remarkable dorsal coloration: head and pronotum deep coppery with reddish reflections, notably prevailingly reddish-cupreous on the pronotum, while elytra almost velvety black, usually with faintly diffusing greenish lustre on anteapical-lateral area and indistinct cupreous lustre on basal area. Setosity: genae glabrous (Fig. 168), proepisterna with setae at their ventral margin, sometimes up to proepisternal half (as in HT, Fig. 168); rather copious or very sparse setae along dorsolateral pronotal margins (Figs 182 – 186). Elytral maculation yellowish or pale orange-yellow, conspicuously wide, laterally adjacent to outer elytral margin (Figs 167, 172, 179 – 180, 187 – 191). Labrum (Figs 174 – 178) primarily 6 – setose as in other species, yet examined specimens possess also 7 – 8 labral setae (in male holotype only five setae developed). Aedeagus similar to other species in its lateral view (Figs 170, 192 – 193, 195 – 196, 198), lacking lateral indentations in its dorsal (or ventral) view (Figs 171, 194, 197, 199). For the description see Cassola & Brzoska (2008).	en	Moravec, Jiří, Dheurle, Charles, Schüle, Peter, Wiesner, Jürgen (2025): Reassessment of the concept of Calomera decemguttata (Fabricius) with a description of Calomera paradecemguttata sp. nov.

03F2E74DFFFEE271FF392038FB0BFB91.taxon	distribution	Distribution. Calomera mamasa is evidently endemic to the main Sulawesi territory. Most specimens come from the area of type locality along the Toraja road near the village of Mamasa in the Polewali Mamasa Regency, province of West Sulawesi (Sulawesi Barat). It spreads inwards the province of Central Sulawesi (Sulawesi Tengah), known there from Palolo Palu, up to Gunung Sampuraga, a mountainous area situated 180 km northeast from the type locality and in a different valley. This species inhabits altitudes at 770 – 1540 m, thus considerably higher than those known for C. paradecemguttata sp. nov. which also occurs in Sulawesi. As mentioned by Cassola & Brzoska (2008), it inhabits open and sunny, vertical to subvertical clay roadcuts or loess quarries and has not been collected on riversides. The female (SDEI) from Northern Sulawesi, labelled “ Magondow ”, was obviously mislabelled; it is 15.1 mm long, and also its other characters correspond to those in C. mamasa. Also the above-listed female specimen from NMPC was evidently mislabelled. Furthermost, the altitude 110 m on the label of the above-cited male (NMPC) does not agree with the occurrence of C. mamasa; the label was evidently confused with labels of C. paradecemguttata sp. nov. collected at the same area and date (see the same labels cited under the new species above).	en	Moravec, Jiří, Dheurle, Charles, Schüle, Peter, Wiesner, Jürgen (2025): Reassessment of the concept of Calomera decemguttata (Fabricius) with a description of Calomera paradecemguttata sp. nov.

03F2E74DFFF0E274FF392208FA65F9F7.taxon	diagnosis	Differential diagnosis. Calomera durvillei is mostly immediately recognizable due to its pattern of elytral maculation which is in majority adults reduced to small lateral maculae tightly adjacent to outer elytral margin and little central spot (Figs 203 – 204, 210 – 213); however, adults with extremely dilated maculae, consisting of entire humeral lunule (as in HT Figs 200 – 201 and wide, continuous lateral band also occur (Figs 214 – 215). Densely setose genae and proepisterna are shared with C. paradecemguttata sp. nov., which is, however, clearly distinguished by the pattern of its elytral maculation and indentation on lateral edges of the apical portion of male aedeagus in its dorsal (and ventral) view (in contrast to the continuous lateral edges in the aedeagus of C. durvillei). For the description see Dejean (1831), but it does not cover entire variability of elytral maculation, because the holotype (Figs 200 – 201) has its maculation wider than usually, intermediate between the extremely wide maculation demonstrated in Figs 211 – 212. Body 11.5 – 14.7 (HT 12.4) mm long, 4.05 – 5.20 (HT 4.50) mm wide. Specimens with darkened elytral maculation can be confused with C. sanguineomaculata, as for instance the above-listed female in MFNB.	en	Moravec, Jiří, Dheurle, Charles, Schüle, Peter, Wiesner, Jürgen (2025): Reassessment of the concept of Calomera decemguttata (Fabricius) with a description of Calomera paradecemguttata sp. nov.

03F2E74DFFF0E274FF392208FA65F9F7.taxon	distribution	Distribution. Calomera durvillei inhabits western part of Indonesia, spreading through Irian Jaya to Papua New Guinea, to the Bismarck Archipelago (New Britain, New Ireland, Duke of York, Gardner, Nusa. Occurrences in Moluccas listed by Wiesner (2018, 2020) are obviously misidentifications of C. paradecemguttata sp. nov. It must be noted here that C. durvillei is sometimes confused also with others of the species-complex in museum collections. Darlington (1962) mentioned that C. durvillei (treated by him as C. decemguttata durvillei) is common and widely distributed in New Guinea. The historical specimen (IRSNB ex collection of M. Maindron) with “ Dorey 1887 ” on its label, comes from an area near the village and harbour of Dorey in western Papua New Guinea, where Dumont d’Urville and later also A. R. Wallace collected during their famous journeys. Historical specimens (MFNB) labelled “ Neu Mecklenburg ” or “ Lamasong ”, come from today’s New Ireland, a volcanic island in the Bismarck Archipelago (Papua New Guinea). Another historical specimen (MFNB) with “ Peterhafen ” on its label comes from Vitu Island (also spelled “ Witu ”) lying in the Vitu Island group in the Bismarck Sea (part of the West New Britain Province), Papua New Guinea, formerly part of Deutsch Neu Guinea with the Peterhafen coconut palm plantations (data adapted from Wikipedia and Britannica). Hornabrook (1988), who treated this species as Lophyridia decemguttata urvillei, mentioned that it is common in New Guinea, inhabiting exposed clay surfaces, found on roads, airstrips and some well-drained gently sloping clay banks where adults “ may occur in scores and take off and come down few meters ahead when disturbed ”. He never saw this species above 900 m in altitude, but found it most frequent at about 400 m above sea level in all suitable localities visited at this altitude. Cassola (1987 a) listed a great number of records from Irian Jaya and Papua New Guinea, one male from the Bismarck Archipelago, and surprisingly one male from Tamana Island, which is the smallest island of the remote Gilbert Islands, lying 4500 km northeast from Australia, thus this specimen (MFNB) might have been mislabelled.	en	Moravec, Jiří, Dheurle, Charles, Schüle, Peter, Wiesner, Jürgen (2025): Reassessment of the concept of Calomera decemguttata (Fabricius) with a description of Calomera paradecemguttata sp. nov.

03F2E74DFFF5E269FF392165FDA6FCB8.taxon	diagnosis	Differential diagnosis. Calomera marmorata is immediately distinguished from all species of the Calomera decemguttata species-complex by its elytra uniquely marked with two conspicuous, elongate blackish marks on the basal area of each elytron and large, blackened discal area (Figs 224 – 225, 229 – 230) and aedeagus (Figs 233 – 235) with pointed apex in its lateral view (Figs 233, 235). Whitish elytral maculation and setal vesture may resemble that in C. durvillei.	en	Moravec, Jiří, Dheurle, Charles, Schüle, Peter, Wiesner, Jürgen (2025): Reassessment of the concept of Calomera decemguttata (Fabricius) with a description of Calomera paradecemguttata sp. nov.

03F2E74DFFF5E269FF392165FDA6FCB8.taxon	distribution	Distribution. Endemic to the Salomon Islands. Bougainville is the largest island in the Solomon Islands archipelago; the Autonomous Region of Bougainville is currently part of Papua New Guinea. Specimens (IRSNB) from Buin come from an area near the capital of the South Bougainville District. The natural vegetation of the Solomon Archipelago consists of lowland and tropical forests. Cassola (1987 b) examined 59 specimens from the Salomon Islands, all from Bougainville.	en	Moravec, Jiří, Dheurle, Charles, Schüle, Peter, Wiesner, Jürgen (2025): Reassessment of the concept of Calomera decemguttata (Fabricius) with a description of Calomera paradecemguttata sp. nov.

03F2E74DFFEFE26EFF3926FDFEDDFBF6.taxon	materials_examined	Type locality. San Georges Island in the Salomon Archipelago. Type specimen. The original description of this species by Blanchard (1853) did not mention sex or number of specimens, but was probably based on only holotype by monotypy (probably in MNHN), which was not examined by us. Yet, we have examined one historical specimen (IRSNB) from the type locality, listed below. Other material examined. 1 ♀ in IRSNB: “ Neu Georgien / Rubiana / C. Ribbe ” // “ R. Mus. Hist.

03F2E74DFFEFE26EFF3926FDFEDDFBF6.taxon	diagnosis	Differential diagnosis. Calomera sanguineomaculata, which was sometimes treated as a subspecies of C. decemguttata, e. g. by Horn (1926, 1938), also differs immediately from the Calomera decemguttata species-complex in having obscurely coloured elytra with ruddy-coloured elytral subhumeral and lateromedian-discal band, while apical lunule is only obscurely indicated.	en	Moravec, Jiří, Dheurle, Charles, Schüle, Peter, Wiesner, Jürgen (2025): Reassessment of the concept of Calomera decemguttata (Fabricius) with a description of Calomera paradecemguttata sp. nov.

03F2E74DFFEFE26EFF3926FDFEDDFBF6.taxon	distribution	Distribution. Endemic to the Salomon Islands. Cassola (1987 b) recorded 337 specimens examined throughout the archipelago, with his description of a subspecies savoensis from the Savo Island differing by even more obscure elytral surface with maculae reduced to only indistinct blackish tracks. Nevertheless, the aquarelle illustration in the paper with the original description of C. sanguineomaculata by Blanchard (1853, pl. 1, fig. 3) shows obscure elytra with the maculation barely recognizable, yet he described the maculae in the Latin diagnosis as “ obscure sanguineis ”.	en	Moravec, Jiří, Dheurle, Charles, Schüle, Peter, Wiesner, Jürgen (2025): Reassessment of the concept of Calomera decemguttata (Fabricius) with a description of Calomera paradecemguttata sp. nov.
