論文の詳細を見る
Through the courtesy of Messrs. Setsuro HASHIMOTO and Tetsuro MIZUNUMA, the author was able to examine a series of specimens of a new buprestid of the genus Demochroa, collected by Mr. Hideo DETANI on the Island of Peleng of the Banggi Islands which lie off the eastern coast of Central Celebes. Demochroa WHITE, 1859,is the monotypic genus based upon D. carinata WHITE, 1859 (=lacordairei THOMSON, 1859), from Halmahera. The range of D. lacordairei THOMSON, 1859,the type-species of the genus, is confined to Halmahera and its fringing islands. In the author's view, its records from Borneo and Sumatra are most probably erroneous. Demochroa gratiosa H. DEYROLLE, 1864,described from the Malay Peninsula and also recorded from the Indochinese Peninsula, Burma, Assam, the Andamans and Java, may belong to a genus other than Demochroa. Therefore, the discovery of a new and true Demochroa-species on the Island of Peleng is most unexpected and worthy of special mention.
