Talk:Diorhabda carinata

Notes

• This species was incorrectly synonymyzed under Galeruca elongata by Reiche and Saulcy (1858) and removed from synonymy with D. elongata by Berti and Rapilly (1973). Tracy and Robbins (2009) provide keys to separate D. carinata from four sibling species of the Diorhabda elongata species group.
• Bechyné (1961) proposed the subspecies D. e. carinata.
