Abstract

This study resolves the long-standing taxonomic confusion between Anthaxia proteus Saunders, 1873, and A. psittacina Heyden, 1887, through morphological re-examination and molecular analyses. Consequently, A. psittacina Heyden, 1887, syn. nov., and A. psittacina nigrifrons Bílý & Svoboda, 2001, syn. nov., are synonymized with A. proteus. Furthermore, a detailed nomenclatural history, distributional records, new larval host plant information, and morphological notes, including photographs illustrating morphological variation, are provided.
