Greetings, I am wondering if any of you can translate this label into English for me? This was on a papered specimen of Cerambycidae, Vadonia unipunctata. I believe the specimen came from the Caucasus Region of Russia. Thanks for any help anyone can offer... Cheers! Bandrow Attachments:

Thank you Alex!
The date was the only thing I could understand! If you don't mind helping again, I have a couple more I will post in the next day or so - but I think some may be duplicates of this one. Once I sort them out, I will post them - only 2 or 3, I believe...
Thanks again!

Greetings,
Thank you very much, Alex! I really appreciate you taking the time to resolve these. I have had this material sitting label-less in my collection for nearly 15 years!
I recieved this material from a gentleman named Pavel Udovichenko, and many of the specimens were collected by a gentleman by the name of S. Khuylya - that may be the collector in the first label. Both localities in the first two labels were represented on other specimens that came with this material.
Interesting about the third collector - I suspect many carabid collectors also take Dorcadion regularly in pitfalls.
Cheers!

Most likely collector's last name is Kvylya (from 'to groan', 'to whine') or Khwylya (the wave); both are rare Ukrainian last names; Udovichenko is also a Ukrainian last name. There is a lot of Ukrainians in the Russian Far East. But that's another story.

Hi Alex,
In with this material were a number of packets with computer printed labels and the name was clearly spelled S. Khuylya, so I went with that spelling.
Thanks for all the help, and especially the insight into some of the details like the notable collector of the Dorcadion, etc.
Cheers!
