See diagnosis under O. duftschmidi. Comments. Crioceris melanopoda is missing in many publications on Oulema. If present, it is mentioned without any comments under O. melanopus (e.g. BERTI 1989), or considered an unjustified emendation of O. melanopus (PETITPIERRE & ALONSO- ZARAZAGA 2000), or its synonym (RILEY et al. 2003, SCHMITT 2010). We cannot agree with BERTIʼs (1989) and PETITPIERRE & ALONSO- ZARAZAGAʼs (2000) opinions. In all previously described species MÜLLER (1776) strictly gave a reference to the description, but in Crioceris melanopoda such reference is missing. In accordance with WELTER- SCHULTES (2013) we consider Crioceris melanopoda a validly described species. The type locality of Crioceris melanopoda is not specified in the original description. BERTI (1989) mentioned ‘Hartouk’ as its type locality but her interpretation is evidently false, as she mistakenly used page number instead of serial number to find the locality name in index. In order to prevent the nomenclatorial instability in O. melanopus species group, a neotype conspecific with O. melanopus originated from Denmark where Müller lived and frequently collected is designated for Crioceris melanopoda. Crioceris hordei is listed in synonymy with O. melanopus in OLIVIER (1791, 1808), LACORDAIRE (1845), KITTEL (1883) or PETITPIERRE & ALONSO- ZARAZAGA (2000). Because neither Geoffroy’s or Fourcroy’s collection exists, its true identity is unknown. In order to prevent the nomenclatorial instability in O. melanopus species group, a neotype conspecific with O. melanopus is designated for Crioceris hordei. Crioceris azurea is an unavailable name. VOET (1806) did not consistently apply the principle of binominal nomenclature, thus his work does not meet the criteria of availability (cf. WHITE 1981, LÖBL & SMETANA 2011). The citation of ‘ azurea ’ Voet in synonymy with O. melanopus by GEMMINGER & HAROLD (1874: 3257) and KITTEL (1883) does not validate the name azurea (Art. 11.6 of ICZN). Although ‘ var. atrata ’ was described as a variety of Lema cyanella (species with completely metallic blue dorsum), there is no doubt that, due to its red pronotum, it belongs to the Oulema melanopus group. Waltlʼs collection is deposited in NHMW but the relevant type specimens were not found either there or in ZMHB where some Waltlʼs types are also deposited (Schillhammer 2013, pers. comm.; Willers 2013, pers. comm.). To prevent the instability of the O. melanopus group nomenclature, a neotype, conspecific with Oulema melanopus, is designated for Lema cyanella var. atrata. Due to the primary homonymy with Lema atrata Fabricius, 1801 (South America), a new substitute name Lema melanopa var. waltli was proposed by HEINZE (1927). WESTHOFF (1882) described Lema melanopa var. nigricans and attributed it to Suffrian. After checking all Suffrianʼs publications this taxon was not found, and in accordance with all subsequent catalogues Westhoff has to be treated as its author. The type material was not found either in Westhoffʼs collection in Münster (Terlutter 2014, pers. comm.) or in MLUH (Schneider 2014, pers. comm.). A neotype is not designated due to lack of available specimens with black elytra originated from Münster or its vicinity. Distribution.
