Calosoma (Caminara) reitteri Breuning, 1927: 225
Charmosta (Catasoma) reitteri Lapouge, 1932: 422
Campalita reitteri Jeannel, 1940: 118
Calosoma (Caminara) reitteri Basilewski, 1972: 37
Length 26-28 mm. The elytra of reitteri are quite smooth, more than in olivieri, but it is still possible to recognize 22, scaly but very flattened, intervals on each elytron (there are two tertiary intervals on each sides of a secondary one, "pentaploïde" type of Jeannel). However, reitteri is easy to identify because the tarsi of the male's forelegs are not dilated.
It is found only in Central Asia (Turkmenistan and W. Kazakhistan).
Material examined:
