On the identity of Caryedon pallidus (Olivier) (Col., Bruchidae), and the description of two new Caryedon spp.
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 10 July 2009
Extract
The taxonomic status of Caryedon pallidus (Olivier) is discussed and its identity related to a species found in West Africa breeding in seeds of Cassia obtusifolia. Specimens of Caryedon breeding in Cassia senna from the Nile basin are shown to be a distinct species. This, and a further species from Armenia, both of which had been previously misidentified as Caryedon pallidus, are described as new.
