Hello, Lais

I noticed by chance, that your beetle Prosternon tessellatum is not Prosternon. I guess, it is Adelocera murina. I am not good enough to say something about the other beetles, it sometimes is quite tricky. cheers, Siga --Siga 15:28, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

Stenurella nigra/Leptura aethiops

I do not know which picture you mean. I think: ; in this case, completely sure.

Please, check the shape of the anterior margin of the pronotum (without furrow and lateral gibbosity like S. nigra) and the shape of the posterior tibiae (right, while sinuate in L. aethiops).

Here (http://www.cerambyx.uochb.cz/lepturaethiops.htm) you can confront your cerambycid with a picture of a true Leptura aethiops. Here (http://www.cerambycoidea.com/foto.asp?Id=533) three Leptura aethiops of my Photogallery --Vitalfranz (talk) 15:28, 29 June 2008 (UTC)

Leptura aethiops

You are right, this image is a male of Leptura aethiops! ...but I cant find this image in the Commons--Vitalfranz (talk) 17:26, 29 June 2008 (UTC)

Platyninae

Catalogue of Palaearctic Coleoptera and Carabidae of the World Database and ToL Web Project lump a lot of subfamilies in Harpalinae, and as Wikispecies goes with these, I have simply decided to follow them. It's more or less interim, but as an interim solution it seems to be en vogue to lump them these days. In any case, the approach by FE is not wrong; there are basically two alternatives: extreme splitting with a profusion of subfamilies, and extreme lumping with a profusion of tribes. And the former would be impossible to implement on Wikipedia with the markup/taxobox code we have, whereas the latter can be handled (except a few minor points, see ToLweb).

So both the extremely wide (CPC, CWD, ToLweb) and the extemely restricted Harpalinae (FE, many Russian sources) are legitimate interpretations of the phylogeny as far as we know it. But I am rather glad that the majority view is the one that can be implemented on the 'pedia without hassle ;-)

Thanks for notifying me - I shall add the alternate treatment of FE to Wikipedia. I shall also add a few minor subfamilies that are presently missing to Wikispecies, and then we can actually use Wikispecies as the default point of reference. Someone has parsed the whole CPC to there, and I am very glad about that. And finally, I shall go over the Commons categories, and add some taxonomic information that will help users find the platynines etc. Dysmorodrepanis (talk) 15:22, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

Prosternon tessellatum -> Adelocera murina

Hi,

i will remove the incomplete deletion requests on:

• Image:Prosternon tessellatum on finger.jpg
• Image:Prosternon tessellatum.jpg
• Image:Prosternon tessellatum fly.jpg

and rename them to:

• Image:Adelocera murina on finger.jpg
• Image:Adelocera murina.jpg
• Image:Adelocera murina fly.jpg

This may take some weeks, you can track it by watching this blue and red links. --Martin H. (talk) 23:27, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

Unknown cerambycidae

Hi,
yes: all your identifications are exact: Monochamus sutor sutor male, Monochamus galloprovincialis pistor female, Tetropium castaneum male.
Monochamus galloprovincialis pistor are sometimes difficultly separable from M. sutor, but the scutellum has a triangular spot (rather a longitudinal complete line), the body spots are dark (rather than whitish) yellow, the body colour is brownish or almost metallic (rather than true opaque black) and less parallel-sided.
Moreover, in Northern Europe, Russia and generally cold country, M. sutor often have very reduced spots.--Vitalfranz (talk) 15:29, 27 September 2008 (UTC)

Template:Cc-by-nc-3.0-us

Sorry, but no, CC-BY-NC is not an acceptable license for Commons. I've nominated the template for deletion.

Image Tagging Image:Tetropium_fuscum.jpg

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Tetropium_fuscum.jpg. I notice the image page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikimedia Commons (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page. If the content is a derivative of a copyrighted work, you need to supply the names and a licence of the original authors as well.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag, then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use {{self|GFDL|cc-by-sa-all}} to release it under the multilicense GFDL plus Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike All-version license or {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain.

Tip: Categorizing images

---

Hello, Laisverobotams!

Tip: Add categories to your files

Thanks a lot for contributing to the Wikimedia Commons! Here's a tip to make your uploads more useful: Why not add some categories to describe them? This will help more people to find and use them.

Here's how:

1) If you're using the UploadWizard, you can add categories to each file when you describe it. Just click "more options" for the file and add the categories which make sense:

2) You can also pick the file from your list of uploads, edit the file description page, and manually add the category code at the end of the page.

[[Category:Category name]]

For example, if you are uploading a diagram showing the orbits of comets, you add the following code:

[[Category:Astronomical diagrams]]

[[Category:Comets]]

This will make the diagram show up in the categories "Astronomical diagrams" and "Comets".

When picking categories, try to choose a specific category ("Astronomical diagrams") over a generic one ("Illustrations").

Thanks again for your uploads! More information about categorization can be found in Commons:Categories, and don't hesitate to leave a note on the help desk.

You can see directly in the follow link and clic over "Siguiente" ("Next") several times :

http://animalandia.educa.madrid.org/imagen.php?id=39941

If you wish (and I hope yes), you can send me (via fernando.lison@educa.madrid.org) some letters or/and a photo for your "contributor profile" in Animalandia:

Request for a move

Hi, Giedrius!

I just requested a move of your uploaded image File:Otho spondyloides.jpg to File:Otho sphondyloides.jpg, since the form with -h- seems to be the one used everywhere (also in lt:Medienvabaliai, in species:Otho sphondyloides, and in the file description you provided). Thus, I assume that omitting the -h- just was a typographical error. Am I right? JoergenB (talk) 23:50, 7 January 2020 (UTC)
