neutral  Jean-Louis S.: 'Garrigues' are very dry. What would a marsh beetle do there? Mistake in identification in the source document or marsh beetle not really from marshlands?

disagree  philgoddard: Even if this were correct, it wouldn't be a translation of the French - it would be like translating "chrysanthème" as "flower".

disagree  philgoddard: None of your references supports your answer. The first one is a dead link, and the last three relate to a flower called Marrubium vulgare. It's a beetle we're looking for!Also, Chrysomela marrubium doesn't get any Google hits.
1 hr
  -> Sorry to disagree Phil, but you could go for neutral it seems. You disagree with Chrysomela banksi?

agree  Alison Sabedoria (X): Chrysomela banksi it is! Despite what Phil says and these references.

leaf beetle feeding on horehound


Explanation:
This is a tough one, and according to google and my colleagues there are several possibilities, Chrysolina (Chrysomela) banksi being most likely, but couldn't get a 100% hit. You may have to get around this one and "recast" the whole sentence to read "Other leaf beetles of the genus Chrysolina (americana, sanguinolenta, banksi, etc.) are also present/native to our Garrigues. When Linnaeus designed this system, he had the best intentions, but with insects in particular, genera, species, even whole families and orders have since been reclassified many times, but the French names derived from them don't change. Some of these critters are still in the genus Chrysomela, others (like the ones in your text) have since been reclassified in the genus Chrysolina, and not all of them may have accepted English language common names, esp. ones that may not be found in countries where English is spoken.

I once heard that when He created the world, God must have had a special love for insects and of the insects, the beetles in particular. There are more different kinds (species) of insects than all other kinds of living things, plants and animals, put together, and more different kinds of beetles than other insects. The Chrysomelidae (leaf beetles) are a huge family, a favorite topic for taxonomists who love to literally "split hairs" on insects, hence the mess of different names and reclassifications, and why you often see Chrysolina (Chrysomela) banksi, or whatever, indicating that both names are still used in the literature. This family contains numerous species that are well-known agricultural pests, and even they have been reclassified!

neutral  philgoddard: I don't disagree with your comments, but "leaf beetle feeding on horehound" isn't a translation of the French. And I think your reference to horehound makes the same mistake as Drmanu - it's the common name of the plant Marrubium.
8 mins
  -> No, it's not, and my point is that there may not BE an Eng. common name. I assume that the Fr. common name "du Marrube" comes from the fact that these beetles feed on Marrubium (horehound). "Mint beetle" (also a Chrysolina) gets a lot of hits.

agree  Rachel Fell: or "..that feeds on horehound" - perhaps could be this one - http://cat.inist.fr/?aModele=afficheN&cpsidt=17424843 \\Quite, and I suppose it could be "other spp. that feed on..." etc.
20 hrs
  -> I saw this too, Rachel, so it could be. It appears there are several spp. of Chrysolina that feed on horehound.

neutral  Alison Sabedoria (X): Good explanation, John. "Other leaf beetles" is a safe bet.
