LECH BOROWIEC
COMMENTS: I have examined a series of 4 syntypes of C. ferrarii SPAETH
preserved at the Museo Civico di Storia Naturale, Genova, and they represent the
dark aberration of C. catenata (BOH.) with uniformly black pronotal and elytral
disc. A similar polymorphism was observed in related C. circumdata HERBST,
1799 which forms a dark aberration described under the name C. nilgiriensis
BOROWIEC et TAKIZAWA, 1991 (Cassida nigroramosa (CHEN et ZIA, 1964) described
from China is probably the same form of C. circumdata HERBST).
