#1
Parandra caspia was recorded for Turkmenia (Kopet-Dag) and for Transcaspean Iran
(Gorgan) - (Araujo-Arigony, 1977) on the base of Lameere (1902): "habite a Transcaucasie,
le nord de la Perse et la Turcomanie." The records was regarded by A.Semenov (1902) as
wrong.

#2
According to Svacha (1987), Callipogon and Ergates belong to different tribes.

#3
Ergates faber hartigi Demelt, 1952 and E.f.alkani Demelt, 1968 were regarded by
Villiers (1978) as aberrations of females.

#4
According to Vives (2000), Macrotoma Serv.,1832-June is a junitor homonym of
Macrotoma Laporte,1832-April (Diptera). The necessaty of the name change must be checked
in agree with Article 23.9.1. of ICZN (1999). But even if it must be changed, the
necessity of new tribal name (Prinobiini Vives, 2000) is doubtful. Several other names
can be used: Mallodonitae Thomson, 1860; Stenodontines Lameere, 1902.
According to Vives (2000), Macrotoma germari Dejean, 1835 is a valid name.

#5
Prinobius is a separate genus, according to Villiers (1978).

#6
According to Sama (1994): Prinobius myardi Muls., 1842 = Prionus scutellaris Germ.,
1817 nec Olivier, 1795 (Pyrodes).

#7
Prinobius s. proksi Slama, 1982 was described from Crete.

#8
In the remark to the original description of Prionus serricollis the author asked
to read the name as serraticollis.
According to Miroshnikov (1998) Rhesus was described by J.Thomson 1860 (nec
N.Lesson, 1840) and then replaced to Rhaesus Motschulsky, 1875 (without special remark of
replacement).
Rhaesus Motschulsky, 1875 was introduced for Rh. persicus , which is a synonym of
serricollis.

#9
The generic differences between Megopis and Aegosoma is generally accepted
(Villiers, 1978; Sama, 1988). So subgenus Spinimegopis belongs to Aegosoma.

#10
Meroscelisitae J.Thomson, 1860 (after Monne et Giesbert, 1993).

#11
Bily et Mehl (1989) recorded T. depsarium for Caucasus and Amur Valley after Horion
(1974: 5-6) and Samoilov (1936)

#12
According to the original publication: paradoxus Fald.,1833; not Fald.,1832, as in
Lobanov et al. (1981).

#13
The difference between island and mainland populations of P.insularis seems to be
considerable. P. yakushimanus Ohbayashi, 1964 (Yakushima Is. and Tanegashima Is.) was
regarded as a synonym of P.insularis by Kusama and Takakuwa (1984), but also as its
subspecies (Ohbayashi et al., 1992).
Prionus insularis was recorded for Gornaia Shoria (Altai) by Novikov and Petuninkin
(1987).

#14
Prionus asiaticus was recorded for China Mongolia by Gressitt (1951) on the base of
the description of Prionus henkei Schaufuss, 1879 (= asiaticus). According to Jakovlev
(1887) P. henkei was described "au gouvernement d'Astrakhan aux environs du mont Bogdo".
The records of P. asiaticus for China or Mongolia is nonsense.
The species was recorded for Elburs (Semenov-Tian-Shanskij, 1927), but it could
concern P. persicus.

#15
According to the original description, Prionus zarudnii.
The species was collected in Karategin Ridge (14km N Novabad, 1700m, 30.7.69 and
5.8.1969, J.Shchetkin leg.) - 2 males and 1 female in the collection of M.Danilevsky.

#16
A revision of Psilotarsus was published by M.Danilevsky (2000).

#17
Psilopus was traditionally attributed to Motschulsky (1875), but it was described
by Gebler (1859) with a valid species name.

#18
According to personal communication of A.Miroshnikov (1986), several corrections
must be made to the publication of Lobanov et al.(1981,1982):
Prionus semenovianus Plav. 1936 (not 1935)
Xylosteus caucasicola Plav. 1936 (not 1938)

#19
P. (s.l.) semenovianus was transfered to Pogonarthron by Danilevsky (1999).

#20
Tribe system of Lepturinae is more or less agree with P.Svacha (Svacha et
Danilevsky, 1989), but Encyclopini is regarded as separate and of similar evolution level
as Xylosteini. Several names were originally published by Althoff and Danilevsky (1977).

#21
According to Sama (1993a) Xylosteus caucasicola is a subspecies of X. spinolae. It
was declared that oldest name Psilorhabdium is not valid because the youngest name
Leptorhabdium was chosen by Ganglbauer (1882: 38), as first reviser (Article 24 ICZN).
In the original description: "Leptorhabdium". "Leptorrhabdium" was introduced by
Ganglbauer, 1881 (Best.Tab.)

#22
Xylosteus caucasicola was recorded for European Turkey and Cortodera umbripennis
for Bulgaria (Sama, Rapuzzi, 1999). It is very probable, that last record was connected
with very close Cortodera khatchikovi Danilevsky, 2001.

#23
Leptorhabdium caucasicum was recorded for Turkey (Torul) by Gfeller (1972).

#24
The synonymy Encyclops = Microrhabdium was accepted by Lobanov et al., 1981 (after
Gressitt, 1951; inroduced by Gressitt, 1947, Proc. Entomol. Soc. Washington, 49: 191.).
A lot of other taxonomic and geographical positions were accepted (or canceled)
after different authors or introduced as new (Lobanov et al., 1981, 1982).

#25
According to (Danilevsky, 1988c):
E. macilentus Kr.= E. parallelus Pic = E. ussuricus Cher.
Grammoptera cyanea = G. plavilstshikovi (Far East Russia and Sakhalin), later
(Danilevsky, 1993) Neoencyclops was regarded as a subgenus of Grammoptera.
Alosterna chalybeella absent in the mainland (S.Sakhalin,Kunashir,Japan).
Gaurotina sichotensis stat.n. (= G. superba m. sichotensis) was found in Khasan
district of Far East Russia (1 male in collection of Danilevsky) and G. superba absent in
Russia.
Molorchus starki Shabl., 1936 = M. ussuriensis Plav., 1940 (syn.n.)
Phymatodes vandykei Gress., 1935 = Ph. ussurucus Plav., 1940 (syn.n.)
Xylotrechus salicis Takakuwa et Oda., 1978 = X. nadezhdae Tsher.,1982 (syn.n.)
Tetropium gracilicum was recorded for Shikotan Is. - first record for Russia, as
well as Oligoenoplus rosti (Kunashir) and Chlorophorus diadema inhirsutus (Kunashir).
Rondibilis (as Eryssamena) schabliovskyi is the only one representative of the
genus in Russian Far East mainland - absent on islands (possibly it was described before
as E. coreana Breuning, 1974). Eryssamena (or Ostedes) tuberculata absent in Russia.
Rondibilis (as Eryssamena) saperdinus is known from Kunashir, Shikotan and Japan.
Oberea scutellaroides = O. chinensis

#26
Two genera Rhagium and Rhamnusium were separated by E.Vives (2000) in a small tribe
Rhagiini, while other Rhagiini (including Oxymirus) are grouped in tribe Toxotini.

#27
According to Danilevsky (1992):
Phytoecia pustulata = Ph.pilipennis,
Cortodera transcaspica = persica = lobanovi,
Agapanthia lederi = helianthi
Rhagium caucasicum semicorne st.nov. - first record for USSR (Talysh)

#28
I.K. Zagaikevitch basing on the area analysis supposed (personal communication),
that record of Rhagium inquisitor inquisitor for Crimea was connected with accident
introduction.

#29
B.Namhaidorzh (1972) recorded for Mongolia: Rhagium inquisitor rugipenne,
Gnathacmaeops pratensis, Leptura annularis (as Strangalia arcuata)

#30
According to Kusama and Takakuwa (1984) the following taxa are absent in Japan:
Rhagium inquisitor rugipennis, Stenocorus amurensis, Brachyta interrogationis, Acmaeops
marginatus, Lepturobosca virens, Gracilia minuta, Xylotrechus adspersus, Monochamus
guttulatus, M. galloprovincialis, Acanthocinus aedilis, Leiopus albivittis, Eutetraphа
metallescens.

#31
Acalolepta cervina (described from India) absent in Russian fauna. It was recorded
(before the description of A.ussurica) only once (Samoilov, 1936) and absent in Russian
materials in all known to me collections.
The presence in Russian mainland fauna another Acalolepta (excepting A.ussurica) is
very doubtful (A. sejuncta is known from Korea).
Samoilov also recorded for Russia: Cylindilla grisescens, Nupserha alexandrovi (as
Oberea, described from China), Phytoecia ferrea (as analis = mannerheimi). The species
was also mentioned for USSR by Plavilstshikov (1932: 195): "[East Siberia]", missed by
Tsherepanov (1985), but recorded by Krivolutzkaia (in: Tsherepanov, 1996: 139),as Ph.
mannerheimi Breun. I know at least 2 males of Ph. ferrea from Primorie Region in
collection of Zoological Museum of Moscow University (a pair from Mongolie in my
collection).

#32
According to Hayashi (1980: 14) - A.t.bivittis = A.t.ab.nigra Mats.et Tam.,1940 =
A.t.b.ab. plavilstshikovi Podany, 1963. I've checked the paratypes of A.t.b.ab.
plavilstshikovi in Bratislava - it was dark forms of A.t.bivittis from Tuva.
I've also studied holotype and two paratypes of Rh. minimum Podany in Frankfurt, so
Rhagium inquisitor stshukini = Rh. minimum.

#33
Hesperophanes, Deroplia, Anaesthetis and Exocentrus are attributed by E.Vives
(2000) to Dejean, 1835, as well as Stenocorus to Geoffroy, 1762; Parmena and Purpuricenus
to Dejean, 1821; Opsilia to Mulsant, 1862; Oberea to Mulsant, 1835; Tetrops to Stephens,
1829.

#34
Tetrops praeusta and T. gilvipes can be definitly distinguished only with larvae
(Danilevsky, Miroshnikov, 1985). A taxon with "gilvipes-like larvae" is very common in
West Europe, but its adults are very similar to T.praeusta (Svacha, Die Larven der Kafer
Mitteleuropas, Band 6)! So possibly a yellow form of T. gilvipes was described from
Europe as T. praeusta. In that case black beetles from Caucasus are T. praeusta ssp.
gilvipes. And a taxon with "praeusta-like" larvae (sensu Danilevsky and Miroshnikov,
1985) needs another name.
Any way the stable black colour of Caucasian (and Turkmenian) T. gilvipes makes
impossible its synonymysation with T. praeusta, proposed by Sama (1988) and accepted by
Bense (1995).
But if T. praeusta has "praeusta-like larvae", then European taxon with "gilvipes-
like" larvae (usually yellow, but sometimes black) can be named T. gilvipes ssp. nigra
Kraatz, 1859.
In Russia T. gilvipes seems to be absent, but in Crimea both species exist, and T.
gilvipes often has yellow elytrae, but legs are pale yellow and elytral pubescence
distinctly shorter and less erected.
In West Europe adults of both taxa are (at least usually) indistinguishable.
Big series of adults from different larvae must be investigated.

#35
According to Hayashi (1980) Eutoxotus caeruleipennis present on Sakhalin.

#36
According to Danilevsky (1988a) Oberea depressa = O.amurica = O. transbaicalica.

#37
Stenurella jaegeri was recorded for Crimea (Bakhchisarai) by S.Baidak (1996b) -
first record for Ukraine.
The record of Asias halodendri for Dagestan (2 males, Rutul,1800m,16.6.94 and
15.7.94) by S.Baidak (1996a) is connected with a well known population, which represents
a new taxon, as well as a population from Albania (Muraj, 1960).
Paracorymbia tonsa was recorded for Crimea (Bakhchisarai); Pidonia "lucida"
(evidently - lurida), Leiopus femoratus and Stenocorus insitivus for Poltava Region
(Lubny); Ropalopus insubricus for Sevastopol; Echinocerus bobelayei (as speciosus) for
Odessa Region (Primorskoe) by S.Baidak (1997).
Before L. femoratus was recorded for Crimea by Zagaikevitch (1991).

#38
Stenocorus vittatus F.-W. = S. suvorovi Rtt. I've studied the types of S. suvorovi
(from Dzharkent) in Budapest. The males really have several erect setae at elytral base,
but no other differences from specimens from Cenral and North Dzhungaria or from
Tarabagatai. I think such character is not enough for species separation.

#39
Pidonia grisescens described from Urals is according to Plavilstshikov (1936) E.
borealis.

#40
According to Kusama and Takakuwa(1984):
the following taxa are represented in Japan: Nothorhina punctata, Tetropium fuscum,
Acmaeops septentrionis, Stenurella melanura, Nесydаlis major, N. morio, N. sachalinensis,
Obrium cantharinum, Agapanthia daurica, Olenecamptus octopustulatus, Oberea inclusa.
the following taxa are represented in Russia by subspecies: Brachyta b. bifasciata,
B. b. japonica, Anoplodera c. cyanea, Leptura d. duodecimguttata, L. o. ochraceofasciata,
Nakanea v. vicaria, Strangalomorpна t. tenuis, Necydalis m. major, Necydalis m. aino,
Obrium c. cantharinum, Molorchus m. minor, Cyrtoclytus c. caproides, Asaperda a.
agapanthina, A. r. rufipes, Pseudocalamobius j. japonicus, Egesina b. bifasciana,
Pterolophia j. jugosa, Plectrura m. metallica, Acalolepta l. luxuriosa, A. s. sejuncta,
Mimectatina d. divaricata, Pogonocherus f. fasciculatus, Eutetraphа ch. chrysochloris,
Glenea r. relicta, Oberea i. inclusa.
Leptura includes several subgenera: Nakanea, Pedostrangalia, Stenurella,
Megaleptura (for L.regalis and L.thoracica).
Paragaurotes suvorovi is a subspecies of P. doris, though usually in Japan
publications: doris = suvorovi.

#41
According to Kusama and Takakuwa (1984) Mesosa japonica is a subspecies of M.
myops.

#42
According to Danilevsky (1998a), Brachyta breiti is represented in Mongolia.
According to holotype study of B. eurynensis by A.Lobanov (personal communication
of 1987) it is a synonym of B. variabilis. The previously published (Danilevsky, 1988d)
synonymy: B.breiti = B.eurynensis was wrong.

#43
According to Hayashi (1979):
Russian parts of the areas of Distenia gracilis and Megopis sinica must be occupied
by nominative subspecies;
Asemum punctulatum is represented in Mongolia (which is rather doubtful) and in
Central Asia (which must be a mistake).

#44
Lee (1982) recorded for Korea: Brachyta amurensis, Pidonia suvorovi, Grammoptera
gracilis, Cornumutila quadrivittata, Judolia cometes, Leptura regalis, Necydalis pennata,
N. sachalinensis, Clytus melaenus, Pseudocalamobius japonicus, Pterolophia jugosa,
Monochamus nitens, Phytoecia rufipes, Oberea pupillata - the last record must concern
O.heyrovskyi.

#45
According to Podany (1962) Carilia virginea is reperesented in Siberia by C. v.
aemula.
According to Danilevsky (1998a), the traditional name of Siberian subspecies
"thalassina" accepted by Plavilstshikov (1936), Tsherepanopv (1979), Lobanov et al.
(1981), Tsherepanov (1996), can not be used here as it was introduced for red-thorax
aberration from Austria!
Carilia v. aemula Mnnh. = C. sibirica Podany - the type of the former was
investigated in Bratislava by Danilevsky; the synonymy was published by Tcherepanov
(1996).

#46
According to Danilevsky (1998a): C.v. kozhevnikovi is not a separate species.

#47
According to Mroczkowsky (1986, 1986a, 1987), Opinions: 1473, 1494 (ICZN,
1988a,1988b) were accepted, conserving following names: Tetropium Kirby, 1837 (=
Isarthron Dejean, 1835), Leptura marginata F., 1781 (now Acmaeops marginatus (not
Leptura marginata O.F.Muller in Allioni, 1766).
Sama (1991) published Isarthron = Tetropium, ignoring the conservation.

#48
I've studied (2001) the holotype male of Acmaeops sachalinensis (preserved in
Zoological Institute in St.-Petersburg) with the label in Russian: "[Sakhalin, Nikolskiy
Bay, Nikolsky leg.]" and another small lable with dated: 17.4.09. It is a colourless
specimen of A. angusticollis, so A. angusticollis = A. sachalinensis. There is also a
series of similar colourles specimens of G. pratensis with similar labels in Russian
"[Sakhalin, Nikolsky leg.]" in the Museum.

#49
The relation between G.pratensis and G. brachypterus was shown with larval
characters by P.Svaha (Svaha, Danilevsky, 1989).

#50
According to Danilevsky et Miroshnikov (1985):
Cortodera syriaca Pic 1901 was discovered in Nakhichevan Republic.
Purpuricenus caucasicus Pic is a species, distributed in Crimea, Caucasus and
possibly in West Europe (later was regarded as a subspecies of P. budensis by Sabbadini
and Pesarini,1992 from Armenia and Turkey).
Molorchus monticola, is a species distributed in Talysh and Armenia. The name was
introduced by Plavilstshikov (1931) for aberration, so it became valuable after
Danilevsky and Miroshnikov (1985).
Clytus arietis lederi Ganglb. 1881 is a distinct subspecies distributed in Talysh,
Kopet-Dag and North Iran.
Cortodera transcaspica, Tetropium castaneum (Krasnodar), Exocentrus stierlini and
Trichoferus campestris are represented in Caucasus, the latter also in South East Russia.
The distinguishing characters and areas of Molorchus kiesenwetteri and M. semenovi
are not clear.
Cartallum is a wrong spelling of Certallum.
Phymatodes alni alni absent in Caucasus.
Parmena balteus L. and Mallosia mirabilis Fald. absent in USSR.
Pogonocherus sieversi Ganglb. 1886 = P. caucasicus Ganglb. 1891 = = P. kuksна Plav.
Dorcadion сinerarium F. 1787 = D. сaucasicum Kust. 1847.
Tetropini is a separate tribe, not connected with Tetraopini.
Parmena aurora must occur in Turkey.
Phytoecia hirsutula present in Turkey.
All records (Hеуrоwsку,1967; Villiers,1978) of Saphanus piceus for Caucasus are
wrong.
The records (Heyrоwsку,1955; Черепанов,1985) of Oberea euphorbiae for Caucasus need
to be proved.

#51
According to Danilevsky (1993b), Ph. pubescens (= Ph. glaphyra) was usually mixed
with Ph. manicata. Ph. manicata is known only from Syria and neighbour territories and
differs by spines of posterior male coxae (so can be mixed with small Ph. cylindrica).
Ph. pubescens is distributed in Balcan Peninsula, Near and Middle East and in
Transcaucasia. The species identity was restored by Danilevsky and Miroshnikov (1985) as
Ph. glaphyra. It is close to Ph. icterica.
According to personal communictaion of D.Kasatkin, Ph.pubescens is represented in
North Caucasus (Dagestan and Kamyshanova Poliana near Lagonahi in Krasnodar Region) after
collecting materials of S.Medvedev and A.I.Fomichev, preserved in Rostov University. The
record of the species (as Ph. manicata) for Kamyshanova Poliana was published by Kasatkin
and Arzanov (1997).

#52
In order of preliminary improvement of Cortodera taxonomy:
C. circassica is a subspecies of villosa.
C. fischtensis is a subspecies of C. alpina.
The system of Cortodera species close to C. reitteri and C. ruthena was revised by
Danilevsky (2001ab).

#53
Cortodera alpina seems to be described from Dagestan. There are several males from
Shahdag with Menetrie's labels (cotypes?) in collections of Moscow Zoolological Museum
and in collection of M.Danilevsky. According to these specimens C. alpina and C.
umbripennis differ as subspecies of one species.
According to type materials (preserved in Budapest), C. starki is a black
parthenogenetic subspecies of C. alpina from West Caucasus.

#54
Exocentrus pseudopunctipennis was recorded for Caucasus by Lobanov et al. (1982)
without any remark, then it was recorded for Talysh (Danilevsky, Miroshnikov, 1985) and
Georgia (Danilevsky, Dzhavelidze, 1990). It was also collected in Kopet-Dag (Ai-Dere,
1985) by S.Murzin (personal communication).

#55
Cortodera transcaspica is very numerous in Turkey and Iran and well represented in
collection of C.Holzschuh, but only by females, so it must be parthenogenetic.

#56
According to Danilevsky (1993):
Cortodera cirsii Holz., 1975 and Agapanthia salviae Holsz., 1975 were recorded for
Transcaucasia by Kaziuchitz (1975) after wrong determination of C. umbripennis (local
black form) and A. walteri respectively.
Tetropium staudingeri ab. laticolle regardless of Podany's (1967) opinion is not a
species.
Purpuricenus sideriger is recorded for Russia.
Oberea inclusa (not a synonym of O.vittata) must be absent in Russia and in Japan.
Pidonia malthinoides = Pidonia quercus
Leptepania okunevi = Molorchus incognitus
Chlorophorus obliteratus = Ch. ubsanurensis
Xylotrechus asellus = X. grumi
Agapanthia lederi (= A. helianthi) = A. lopatini

#57
Most probably Anoplodera atramentaria sibirica does not exist. I believe that under
the name Leptura (Vadonia) atramentaria sibirica Plavilstshikov described (it was first
description in his life) one of Siberian Cortodera (both type females disappeared). His
black type female of Cortodera semenovi from Kondoma River has just same label as types
of V.a.sibirica and totally fits its decsription: ?Cortodera sibirica (Plav. 1915) =
Cortodera semenovi Plav., 1936?
Possibly Plavilstshikov did not see L. atramentaria Gangl. It is very strange that
a short latin diagnosis of L.atramentaria, proposed by Plavilstshikov (1915) without any
references to materials or publications, strongly contradicts with its original
description! For example: in L. atramentaria atramentaria: "scutello nigro ciliato",
while in original description: "Scutello dense albido-cinereo pubescente." Similar
difference in the description of elytral pubescence! But later Plavilstshikov (1936: 344)
described L.a.atramentaria exactly following original description! Anyway, his A. a.
sibirica from Altai does not connected with Leptura atramentaria Ganglb., described after
unique male from "Kan-ssu, 18.6.1885" from G.N. Patanin materials. Holotype was recently
discovered in collection of J.Vorisek (Czechia, Jirkov) and figured by A.Miroshnikov
(1998: 397, 400). The taxon was placed in genus Anoplodera (s.str.) by Hayashi and
Villiers (1985).

#58
C.Holzschuh (1991) described from China Neoencyclops debilipes. Following his
opinion Neoencyclops differs from Grammoptera by nearly right angle between frons and
clypeus. I prefer to regard both taxa as subgenera inside one genus. G. angustata seems
to be a transitional form both in head structure and body form.

#59
E.Vives (2000) proposed for Ropalopus clavipes (F., 1775) the oldest name R.
nigroplanus (Degeer, 1775); for Grammoptera ruficornis (F.,1781) - G. atra (F., 1775).
The changes can not be accepted according to the Article 23.9. of ICZN (1999).

#60
G. ruficornis obscuricornis, described from Talysh, differs from nominative
subspecies by dark legs and antennae; and is isolated geographycally.

#61
Sivana = Sieversia Ganglb. (nec Kobelt, 1880 in Mollusca). Ohbayashi (1980) joined
in one genus bicolor and Japan ruficollis under oldest name Macropidonia Pic, 1901. I
prefer to regard both species in different genera. Kusama & Takakuwa (1984) contrary
joined ruficollis with Japan Pseudosieversia under the name Macropidonia, which also
looked not natural.

#62
Pidonia = Pseudopidonia after Hayashi (1980).

#63
A.Tcherepanov's (1979) synonymy Pidonia amurensis = P.signifera is wrong as P.
signifera (decribed from Japan) does not occur in the mainland and absent in Russia.

#64
According to Tcherepanov (1982) X. villioni was found on Kunashir Is.

#65
Pidonia malthinoides was recorded for Korea by Danilevsky (1993d).

#66
Nivellia extensa was recorded for Mongolia (Janovsky, 1980).

#67
Pidonia amentata is represented on Kunashir Is by a subspecies P. a. kurosawai,
which must be better regarded as separate species.

#68
Necydalis gigantea was recorded for Kurile Islands (Hayashi, 1980)

#69
The list of Cerambycidae of Kirghyzstan (Ovtchinnikov, 1996) contains some wrong
data:
Kirgisiana - wrong spelling of Kirgizobia Danilevsky, 1992.
Prionus angustatus, P. turkestanicus, Apatophysis serricornis, Rhopalopus nadari
(must be R. mali), Molorchus kiesenwetteri, Dorcadion sokolovi (=jacobsoni), D.
obtusipenne (must be D. validipes), D. globithorax are absent in Kirgizia.
Tetropium staudingeri and T. laticolle are synonyms.
Molorchus schmidti Ganglb. 1883 = M. semenovi.
"Oberea rufipes Fisch." does not exist. Possibly, the author was going to mention
Oberea ruficeps Fisch., as it was mentioned as "subendemic". It can be the first record
for the region. If so, a very common in Kirgizia species Ph. rufipes Oliv. 1795 absent in
the list as many other Cerambycidae of Kirgizia.

#70
According to the original description: Leptura imberbis. The name was often used in
form "imperbis", possibly after Plavilstshikov (1936).

#71
The divisions of Pedostrangalia in 3 subgenera was accepted after G.Sama (1992).

#72
According to I.M. Kerzhner (personal communication of 1986) the name variicornis
for Pedostrangalia circaocularis is invalid (secondary homonym), but the name
circaocularis (introduced as a replacement name by Gressitt,1951) is also not good enough
because several old names of variations could be regarded as valid (niger, nemurensis).
From the other side, the replacement name, introduced before 1960 and became generally
accepted must be preserved.

#73
According to the original descriptions, the right spelling: Dokhtouroffia and
Dorcadion: dokhtouroffi, sokolowi (and the date is 1901), komarowi, tschitscherini,
tenuelineatum, matthieseni, dostojewskii, glycyrrhizae, kuldschanum.

#74
According to A.Miroshnikov (personal communication), the genital male structures of
Dokhtouroffia species are so different that they can not be regarded as subspecies as was
proposed by Kostin (1973).

#75
G.Sama (1996) described L. maculata irmasanica (from Turkey), Hybometopia starcki
ivani (from Turkey), and recognized Clytus schneidri inapicalis Pic, 1897 (stat.n.) as
subspecies.

#76
Leptura aurulenta occurs in Voronezh Region. Its larvae from Tellerman Forest Farm
collected by B.Mamaev 7.10.1958 were identified by P. Svacha.

#77
According to Pesarini, Sabbadini (1994), Leptura annularis F., 1801 is a valid
name.

#78
Leptura dimorpha described from Japan was recoded for Russia as a species by
Plavilstshikov, 1936. I've not seen such specimens from the continent or from Russian
Islands (in Japan it is common). It was also recorded for Korea as an aberration of
L.aethiops by Lee (1982) and for Russia (without any geographical comments) as a
subspecies by Tsherepanov (1979: 370). According to Hayashi (1979) it is a subspecies,
but with impossible area including East Siberea (so sympatric with L.a.aethiops).
According to Gressitt (1951), L. aethiops = L. dimorpha. According to Lobanov et al.
(1981), Kusama and Takakuwa (1985) and Ohbayashi et al. (1992), L. dimorpha is a species.
I believe that L. dimorpha is just a form of L. aethiops with red prothorax, which
is very numerous in Japan and rather rare on the continent. The number of such specimens
in Japan populations allow to regard a part of Japan L. aethiops (or all) as L. a.
dimorpha. The presense of specimens with red thorax in Russia is not proved, but even if
they exist here, their rarity does not allow to join Russian populations to L.a. doii.
The situation in Korea is unclear.

#79
Leptura shirarakensis Matsumura, 1911, described from South Sakhalin, must be a
synonym of older name.

#80
Strangalia attenuata and Oberea depressa were recorded for Mongolia (Janovsky,
1977).

#81
According to D.Kasatkin (personal communication, 2000), there are Cortodera pumila
from Rostov Region (Krasnyi Sulin) and Stenurella novercalis (males with black abdomen)
from North Caucasus (Bolshaia Laba Valley).

#82
According to (Danilevsky, Dzhavelidze, 1990), S. b. limbiventris is regarded as a
subspecies distributed in Adzharia and Turkey; S. septempunctata anatolica (known from
Turkey and Bulgaria) is represented in Transcaucasia.

#83
According to Kusakabe, Ohbayashi (1992), J. bangi and J. znojkoi are different
species, and J. bangi, distributed in Japan, seems to be absent in Russia.

#84
According to J.Vorisek (personal communication, 1992), Judolia sexmaculata
parallelopipeda is a Siberian subspecies.

#85
According to A.Bartenev (personal communication,1982), Pachytodes erraticus absent
in Crimea.
A.Kaziuchitz (personal communication,1984) had 10 specimens from Crimea Peninsula.

#86
According to J.Vorisek (personal communication, 1992), the original description of
Strangalia connecta is the evidence of its synonymy with Pachytodes cometes.

#87
According to Danilevsky (1988d): Oedecnema dubia (F., 1781) nom. praeocc. (non
Scop., 1763) was changed by Silfverberg (1977) to O. gebleri (Ganglb., 1889)

#88
According to Danilevsky, who studied in 1992 the type of Grammoptera japonica in
Paris, it is Alosterna chalybeella.

#89
B.Namhaidorzh (1972) recorded for Mongolia: Eodorcadion lutshniki, E. humerale ssp.
humerale, E. humerale ssp. impluviatum.
B.Namhaidorzh (1974) recorded for Mongolia: Anoplodera rufiventris, Hesperophanes
heydeni, Cleroclytus collaris, Oberea inclusa.
B.Namhaidorzh (1976) recorded for Mongolia: Alosterna tabacicolor erythropus (as
bivittis), Saperda perforata, Saperda scalaris, Eumecocera impustulata, Nupserha
marginella.
B.Namhaidorzh (1979) recorded for Mongolia: Phytoecia ferrea (as mannerheimi).

#90
A. ingrica (decsribed from Luga) is a species (Karpinsky, 1948 and others), which
is not known eastwards Orenburg. It is not connected with Leptura erythropus, described
from Altai. The original description of the latter totally fits to A. tabacicolor from
Altai. Local A.tabacicolor is now regarded as A.t.bivittis, which was described from the
area eastwards Baikal, so A. tabacicolor erythropus (Gebl.1841) = A.t.bivittis (Motsch.
1860), or represents a separate subspecies from Altai, as well as A.t. plavilstshikovi
can be a separate subspecies from Tuva.

#91
S.Bobrov (Ivanovo) collected A.ingrica in Arkhangelsk Region (Pinega Nat.Res.,
8.1991).

#92
According to Danilevsky (1992b):
Anoplodera rufihumeralis occurs in Primorie (male and female in collection of
Jaroslav Dalihod (Svobody 676, 27200 Kladno, Czechia).
Grammoptera elegantula = Pseudalosterna orientalis.
Cylindilla grisescens = Atimura askoldensis
Oberea atropunctata was collected in Primorie by Uno Roosileht and M. Kruus
(Estonia); male in collection of M.Danilevsky.

#93
Using Miroshnikov's (1998) publication, Danilevsky includes in Aredolpona
(=Corymbia): rubra, dichroa, variicornis and absent in Russia fontenayi. Other members of
Corymbia sensu Miroshnikov (until better decision) are included in Paracorymbia, as well
as Melanoleptura as a subgenus.
Paracorymbia = Batesiata.
Brachyleptura Casey, 1913 and Stictoleptura Casey, 1924 are represented only in
America, as well as Megaleptura Casey, 1913 = Stenura Dejean, 1837 (not Stenura
Cuvier,1820, Aves).
According to E.Vives (2000) Corymbia Gozis, 1886 is a junior homonym of
Corymbia Walker, 1865 (described in Noctuidae, now in Notodontidae) and must be
replaced by Aredolpona Nakane et Hayashi, 1957.
The necessaty of the name change is evident as Corymbia Walker is not
"nomen oblitum" according to the Article 23.9.1. of ICZN (1999) and was
mentioned among valid names in "The Genera Names of Moths of the World." Vol.2.
London. 1980: 44 (by Watson, A., Fletcher, D.C. and Nye, I.W.B. in Nye I.W.B.).

#94
Paracorymbia apicalis was described from South Siberia (as Leptura). Two syntypes
are preserved in Moscow Zoological Museum (both without head and prothorax). The beetles
seem to be close to P. fulva, P. tonsa, P. pallidipennis.

#95
According to J. Vorisek (personal communication, 1992), P. rufa is represented in
Caucasus and Turkey by P.r. dimidiata (Daniel, 1891). But according to the original
description, "dimidiata" is characterized by black elytral half (or 2/3); such form is
uknown in Caucasus.
The specimens, similar to Caucasian variations, were identified in Paris Museum as
var. attaleiensis Dan.

#96
According to G.Sama (1991):
Leptura ustulata Men., 1832 (nec Laicharting, 1784) must be replaced with Leptura
heydeni Ganglbauer, 1889.
Plocaederus Dejean,1837 (not Thomson, 1860) was introduced for South American
species, so African P.cyannipennis can not be its type species. P. bellator Serville,
1834 is designated as type species and the genus became totally American. For Plocaederus
sensu Thomson, 1860 with type species P. cyanipennis, 1860 was proposed a new name
Neoplocaederus.
Cerambyx velutinus Brulle, 1832 (nec F., 1775) - was replaced with C. welensii
Kuster, 1846.
Cerambyx fulvum Villers, 1790 (not Scop. 1763) was replaced with Callidium unicolor
Oliv., 1795.
Callidium speciosus Ad., 1817 (not Schneider, 1787) was replaced with Plagionotus
bobelayei Brulle, 1832.
Morimus Serville, 1835 = Morinus Brulle, 1832 (type sp. is designated as - lugubris
F., 1792 = asper Sulzer, 1776).
Stenidea Mulsant, 1842 = Deroplia Dejean, 1837 (type sp. is designated as genei
Aragona, 1830).
Stenostola is attributed to Dejean, 1835.

#97
According to the study of the type of Leptura dichroa in Paris: L. dichroa =
Aredolpona succedanea (as it was intoduced by Gressitt,1951).

#98
According to J.Vorishek (personal communication,1992), P.l.livida does not occur
eastwards France; in Italy - P.l.pecta; in Greece, Black sea coast of Bulgaria,
Transcaucasie and Turkey - P. l. desbrochersi Pic; but near Sochi - P.l. pecta.

#99
Necydalis xanta Sem. was described as variation of N. major with yellow head,
prothorax, legs and abdomen from near Novorossiisk. Later (Semenov,1902) it was regarded
as a species. According to Plavilstshikov (1936) it is a synonym of N. ulmi. Without
study the type I prefer to return the original position (I've got N.major from Gantiadi).
According to several specimens collected in Khosrov (Armenia) by V.Dolin and
preserved now in collections of Danilevsky and Murzin, N.ulmi mesembrina does not differ
from European forms.

#100
Niisato (1994) recorded Necydalis major aino for Mongolia. Siberian populations
must be compared with Eyropean ones.

#101
The name Aseminae Thomson, 1864 must be replaced with Spondylidinae Serville, 1832
becouse of priority. The correct spelling is accepted after Vives (2000), as well as
Spondylidini.

#102
Drymochares starcki was recorded for "Crimee" by Sama and Rapuzzi (1993: 278),
which had to be a mistake, as the locality was not shown on the map (:293) or discussed
in the text of the article.
The original spelling is: Drymochares starcki and Hybometopia starcki.

#103
According to I.Zagaikevitch (personal communication,1982), Saphanus piceus Laich.
was collected in Ivanovo-Frankovsk Region of Ukraine. The species was mentioned for USSR
by Zagaikevitch (1991).
S. piceus collected in Turkey is preserved in collection of S.Kadlec.

#104
U.R. Martins (1980) placed Turcmenigena in Hesperophanini, and Myctus in Atimiini.

#105
A. maculipuncta from China and Mongolia and A. nadezhdae from Russia are a little
different, so better to regard the latter as subspecies.

#106
I.Zagaikevitch (1991) proposed:
Mesocerambyx (not Mesocerambyx Breun.et Hitzinger, 1943), that must be a synonym of
Microcerambyx Miksic et Georgijevic, 1973.
Hylotrupini and Nothorhinini - the latter seems to be not necessary, as well as
accepted by him Exocentrini Pascoe, 1864.

#107
According to J.Vorisek (personal communication,1992), the east populations of
Asemum striatum are characterized by rough elytral sculpture. So, the existence of the
east subspecies can be accepted, but the name A.striatum amurense Kr.is younger than
Asemum subsulcatum Motsch.1860: 152 ("Nord de la Siberie").

#108
According to J.Vorisek (personal communication,1992), T. gracilicorne from Ilmen
Nat. Reserve (South Urals) is represented in his collection. It is the most western
locality of the species (if T. gabrieli and T. gracilicorne are really different species,
becouse no reliable differnces is observed - M.D.).

#109
Asemum tenuicorne was recorded for Spain by E.Vives (2000b), as well as T. fuscum
(Sanchez, Tolosa, 1999), but according to Vives (2000) the last record was based on wrong
determination of A.tenuicorne.

#110
Pogonocherus ovatus from the territory of the USSR is unknown. All specimens of the
species in Plavilstshikov's collection are from the West Europe.
According to Bartenev (personal communication, 1982),he proved for Crimea:
Tetropium castaneum, Obrium brunneum, Pogonocherus ovatus, Phytoecia faldermanni.

#111
After Silfverberg (1979): A.rusticus = A. tristis.
Sama (1991) also excepted identity of the type of Callidium tristis F., 1787 and
rusticus L., 1758, but Lipp (1937) declared identity of tristis and ferus Mulsant, 1839.
Evidently, different type specimens exist. Is it possible to except Lipp's opinion as
first?

#112
Tetropium aquilonium was recorded for Sweden and Finland (Lundberg, 1993).

#113
The tribe Apathophysides Lacordaire, 1869 was originally rased to subfamily level
by Danilevsky (1979).

#114
Подрод Protapatophysis Sem. et Schegol.-Bar. 1936 (type sp.: A. kashmiriana Sem.)
includes A. montana Gah., but described later A. pavlovskii belongs to the nominative
subgenus because of widely separated female posterior coxae (up to 2001 only one female
seems to be known - Danilevsky, 1979) and poorly developed male tarsi pads.

#115
Icosium tomentosum atticum was recorded for Azerbaidzhan by M.Slama (1999) after
one specimen (Zerat,Bezh Barma,19.5.1975, Fr.Navratil leg.).

#116
According to Sama (1994d), Trichoferus holosericeus (Rossi, 1790) = T. cinereus
(Villers, 1789), described as Cerambyx (not Cerambyx cinereus De Geer, 1775)

#117
Trichoferus griseus, described from Africa, was usually mixed with T. fasciculatus
described from Transcaucasie and was never reliably recorded for USSR or Russia.
T. griseus from Crimea (only females) seems to be preserved in collection of
M.Danilevsky.

#118
A.Brinev collected one specimen of Ph. semipunctata in Tzihizdziri (8.1990,
Kobuleti distr. of Georgia) - preserved in Moscow Pedagogical University.

#119
According to Hudepohl (1990), Neocerambyx Thomson,1860 = Mallambyx Bates, 1873.
Neocerambyx raddei was often regarded as Massicus Pasc., 1867.

#120
According to Pavlov-Verevkin (personal communication, 1984), Cerambyx velutinus was
collected by him in Georgia (Mtzheta) and preserved in his collection.

#121
According to J.Vorisek (personal communication, 1992), C. cerdo klinzingi,
described from Caucasus is a good species, described later as C. heinzianus.

#122
Dissopachys pulvinata was recorded for Azerbaidzhan by Sama (1999): Iardymly,
Avash, 1200-1500м, 14.6.1996, 38"50N,48"10E, leg. W.Schwalller.

#123
Rosalia coelestis houlberti Vuillet, 1911 (Tibet) is a separate species (Gressitt,
1951).

#124
Lobanov et al. (1982) indicated the wrong dates for Purpuricenus talyshensis
Rtt.,1891 (as 1914) and Callidium F., 1775 (as 1777).

#125
Purpuricenus lituratus = petasifer, accepted after Kusama & Takakuwa (1984).

#126
The taxonomy of Asias close to A.halodendri is not clear. It was evident mistake to
regard all populations from European Russia to Far East as one species without any
subspesies, as it was proposed by Namhaidorzh (1972).
The differences between European and Maritime populations are evident, but the name
A.halodendri (applied by Plavilstshikov, 1940 to this form) can not be used, as Cerambyx
halodendri Pallas, 1776 was described "... ad Irtin" (= Irtysh), and specimens from
Kazakhstan are not close to Far East populations.
As it was declared by Kostin (1974), populations from East Kazakhstan differs from
West Kazakhstan populations at the subspecies level. So, Asias halodendri ephippium
(Steven et Dalman, 1817), described from South Russia, is also distributed in Ural Region
of Kazakhstan.
In Semipalatinsk region Asias halodendri halodendri is distributed.
For Maritime subspecies, which penetrates far in East Siberia, the name Asias h.
pirus (Arakawa, 1932) can be used, introduced for Korean population as Purpuricenus
pyrus.
Rather peculiar specimens from Tuva were described as Anoplistes minutus
Hammarstroem, 1893 - same in Mongolia.
According to Namhaidorzh (1972): "In low, south areas of Mongolia as well as in
neighbour China a small, pale, pubescent form, described as A. kozlovi, occurs."
(Lectotype was designated by him).
From South-East Kazakhstan Purpuricenus (Asias) heptapotamicus Semenov, 1926 was
described. Several rather strange specimens from near Balkhash Lake and from Tarbagatai
(collection of M.Danilevsky) possibly belong to this form.
The proposal of Kostin (1974) to regard A. jacobsoni (Valley of Syr-Daria River) as
subspecies of A. halodendri seems to be a mistake.

#127
According to J.Vorisek (personal communication, 1992), Asias jomudorum = Asias
chodjaii Holz. 1974

#128
Aphrodisium = Tomentaromia - the synonymy was published by Gressitt et al. (1970).

#129
Aromia faldermannii was recorded for East Siberia by Reitter (Wien. Ent. Ztg.,
1906, 25: 277) - after Gressitt, 1951: 202.

#130
Axinopalpis gracilis christinae Rapuzzi, 1996 was described from Pelopones, Mt.
Taigetos.

#131
D. starcki ivani Sama & Rapuzzi, 1993 and D.s. cavazzutii Sama & Rapuzzi, 1993 were
described from Turkey.

#132
The tribe Stenhomalini was described by A.Miroshnikov (1989: 742).
According to A.Miroshnikov (1989) Stenhomalus lighti Gress. was found by
S.Belokobylsky in S Primorie. S.lighti = S. vulcanus Tsher.

#133
Obrium obscuripenne (according to Villiers, 1978) = O. graciliforme Lipp, 1939 = O.
gracile Plav., 1933 (non O. gracile Krynicki, 1832).

#134
According to Danilevsky (1988d):
Chlorophorus sexmaculatus (Motsch., 1859), nom. praeocc. (non Donovan, 1805) was
changed to Ch. simillimus (Kraatz, 1879) by M.Hayashi (1983).
Tetrops elaeagni = T. plaviltshikovi

#135
According to Kusama & Takakuwa (1984), M. minor fuscus is distributed on Hokkaido
and Kunashir. Sakhalin is apparently occupied by nominative subspecies.

#136
According to personal communication by J.Kratochvil (Febr. 1986) to A.Lobanov:
Molorchus minor ab. monticola Plav. 1931 = M. rufescens Kiesenwetter, 1879, described
from Borzhomi.
I've found a pair of M.monticola from Turkmenia (Krasnovodsk, 10,13.4.1899) in
Zoological Museum in St.-Petersburg.

#137
The spelling "Limonius" is generally accepted (see for example Villiers,1978).
Plavilstshikov (1940: 159) used "Linomius".

#138
According to Villiers (1978: 276 ): M. kiesenwetteri = M. plagiatus.

#139
According to Sama (1995):
M. marmottani absent in Russia;
M. m. crovatoi Sama, 1995 (Italy) and M. m. frischi Sama, 1995
(Turkey) are described.
M. plagiatus is recorded from Iran.
M. schmidti = salicicola = semenovi;
M. kiesenwetteri ssp. hircus (for Caucasus and Turkey) = M.anatolicus.

#140
K.Adlbauer (1992) firstly recorded for Turkey: Molorchus marmottani, Isotomus
speciosus, Anaglyptus persicus and Pogonocherus hispidulus.

#141
According to Kusama and Takakuwa (1984):
M. ishiharai = M. kobotokensis kunashiricus, that agrees with Danilevski's
materials from Kunashir.
According to A.Lobanov (personal communication, 1987), the holotype of Molorchus
kobotokensis kunashiricus was lost in Novosibirsk. It is also absent in the list of
Coleoptera types preserved in the Musem (Tshernyshev, 1997).

#142
M.Danilevsky saw several Molorchus kobotokensis from Far East Russia (Kaimanovka,
15.6.1979, Czech collector) in C.Holzschuh's collection. No differences from Japan
specimens were observed (1993).

#144
Glaphyra heptapotamica (Plav.) was recorded for China (Ningxia-Hui; Wrzhong) - Hua
L.Z., Niisato T. (1993)

#145
According to my study in Zoological Museum of St.-Petersburg (2001) of a big series
of Nathrioglaphyra heptapotamica from Ili valley (Kapchagai), Ural valley (Ianvartzevo),
Aiaguz, Dzhezkazgan, Talasskiy Alatau (Daubaba) - N. heptapotamica = Molorchus amygdali.
A series of N. heptapotamica in the Museum is identified by Namkhaidorzh as
Molorchus alashanicus.
N. heptapotamica (as Molorchus) was recorded for Russia (Orenburg environs,
Utvinskoe in Krasnokholms forest farm) by Tsherepanov (1981).

#146
According to J.Voricek (personal communication, 1992), Stenopterus rufus in
Turkmenia is represented by S. r. transcaspicus Plav.

#147
According to A.Kaziuchitz (personal communication, 1984) he had in his collection
Stenopterus ater from Crimea.

#148
According to I.Kerzhner (personal communication, 1985), Callimus Muls., 1846, was
not preoccupated in Orthoptera, as Callimus Fisch.-Wald., 1830 is wrong posterior
spelling of Callimenus F.-W., 1830. So, Callimellum is not valid.

#149
The name "Protocallimus" used by Plavilstshikov (1940: 173,661) and then by
Danilevsky and Miroshnikov (1985) seems to be just a wrong spelling of Procallimus Pic.

#150
According to Sama (1988a), the type locality of Certallum ebulinum (France) was
most probably wrongly mentioned, as it is known only from N Africa. In Europe C. e.
ruficolle (described from Italy) is distributed.

#151
Original spelling is "Ropalopus".

#152
R.fischeri, described from Central Russia, differs considerably from both European
species (closer to R.insubricus). I prefer to regard it as a separate taxon until the
revision of the group.

#153
Ropalopus macropus from Caucasus are often designated in European collections as
R.caucasicus. The main distinguishing character are spines on first antennal joints. But
the development of antennal spines is rather variable both in European and Caucasian
populations. I do not see any differences between them.
According to Plavilstshikov (1940), R. clavipes = R. caucasicus.

#154
Ropalopus varini Bedel, 1870 = R. spinicornis (Abeille, 1869), described as
Callidium (not C. spinicorne Olivier, 1795).

#155
Pronocera brevicollis Gebler, 1833 (nec Dalman, 1817).

#156
According to A.Miroshnikov (personal communication, 1993), Callidiellum rufipenne
was was found near Sochi (imago and larvae in Cupressus).

#157
According to Zagaikevitch (personal communication, 1983), Semanotus undatus must be
included in Crimean fauna after one specimen (from Livadia) from V.Shavrov's collection.

#158
First records for Mongolia for: Callidium aeneum (Hubsugul aimak and otheres),
Leiopus albivittis (Selenga and Hubsugul aimaks)- (Janovsky, 1974).

#159
According to J.Voricek's opinion of 1992, C. aeneum in NW Georgia and West Caucasus
is represented by C.a.longipenne Plav.

#160
Phymatodes Mulsant,1839 (not Phymatodes Dejean, 1834 - Tenebrionidae) was conserved
by ICZN (1989).

#161
Phymatoderus Dejean, 1937 is nomen nudum, so Phymatoderus Reitter, 1912 =
Reitteroderus Sama, 1991;

#162
According to J.Voricek's opinion of 1992, south of Ukraine (Donetzk Region and
Cimea) and Caucasus are occupied by Ph. pusillus rufipenne. Nominative subspecies is
distributed in West Europe and West Ukraine.

#163
According to Niisato (1995), Phymatodes infasciatus Pic, 1935 = vandykei Gress.
1935 = ussuricus Plav. 1940.

#164
According to E.Vives (2000) Paraphymatodes fasciatus (described as Cerambyx
fasciatus Villers, 1789, not Scopoli, 1763, not Degeer, 1775, not F., 1775, not Geoffroy,
1785, not Villers, 1789) must be replaced with P. unifasciatus (Rossi, 1790). The
necessaty of the name change must be checked in agree with Article 23.9.1. of ICZN (1999)

#165
Pogonocherus ressli and Phymatodes alni ebursensis were recorded for Talysh by
A.Miroshnikov (2001).

#166
The system of Cleroclytus was revised by Danilevsky (2001d).

#167
According to the opinion of Zagaikevitch of 1983, Dorcadion tauricum and Anaglyptus
mysticus absent in Crimea, because of the absence of any data.

#168
According to Miroshnikov(2000), Anglyptus ganglbaueri = A. persicus = A. natae; all
records of A. mysticus for Caucasus concern A. misticoides.
Plavilstshikov (1940) as well as Danilevsky and Miroshnikov (1985) wrongly
mentioned the author of A. persicus Pic, as "Pic et Reitter".

#169
Oligoenoplus rosti was regarded as Cyrtophorus rosti by Kusama and Takakuwa (1984).

#170
According to J.Voricek's opinion of 1992, Plagionotus detritus is represented in
north and west Caucasus by P.d.caucasicola Plav.

#171
According to Sama (1994):
Plagionotus = Echinocerus, but I prefer to regard them as separate genera.
Turanoclytus gen. n. for Xylotrechus namaganensis (right spelling!) - typus generis
and X. asellus, but for me Xylotrechus = Turanoclytus.
Type species of Acanthoderes is Lamia daviesi (Thomson des., 1864) from C and S
America, and European species belong to another genus - Aegomorphus. Same was done by
Linsley et Chemsak,(1985) for American Acanthoderes.
According to Monne (1994), the type species of Acanthoderes is Lamia varia F.,1787
= Acanthoderes clavipes (Schrank, 1781), designated by Bates, 1861 (but not S American
Lamia daviesi, designated by Thomson, 1864).
In fact the text by Bates (1861: 19): "In A. varius, the European species
which may be considered typical of the genus,:" can not be regarded as the type
designation of the genus.

#172
According to Burakovski et al. (1990) Echinocerus Muls.,1863 is a junior homonym of
Echinocerus White, 1848 (Crustacea). The new name is necessary.

#173
Echinocerus scalaris was recorded for Caucasus (Lopez-Colon, 1997) without any
reasons.

#174
Ch. mongolicus Pic, 1943, described from "Mongolie" was mentioned by Namhaidorzh
(1972) as a separate species. One specimen with such identification is preserved in
Heyrovky's collection (Prague). Most probably it is a synonym of Ch. obliteratus.

#175
First records for Mongolia: Chlorophorus ubsanurensis - Gobi-Altai aimak, Baian-
Khongor aimak, Agapanthia leucaspis - Selenga aimak (Namhaidorzh, 1982).

#176
A.leucaspis = A. euterpe (my study of A. euterpe type in Zoological Museum of
Moscow University). The synonymy was published by Tsherepanov (1984).

#177
Rhaphuma is characterized by long 3d antennal joint, spaced out antennal bases and
others.

#178
According to Kusama and Takakuwa (1985): Xylotrechus = Xyloclytus = Rusticoclytus.

#179
Redescription and new locality data of Xylotrechus polyzonus in Primorie Region
were published by Murzin(1981)

#180
According to Miroshnikov (1990) Clytus stepanovi Danil.et Mirosh. 1985 (stat.n.) is
a species (it was described as C. vesparum stepanvi).

#181
After type materials study in Plavisltshikov's collection (1986) I regard:
Clytus raddensis = C. hypocrita.
Clytus arietoides = C. venustulus = C. nigritulus.

#182
My preliminary opinion about type of Clytus nigritulus Kr. (#181) was probably
connected with a mistake as the cotype of this specis in Paris is very similar to C.
fulvohirsutus, but not arietoides. It is necessary to check once more the Kraatz's type
in Eberswalde.

#183
Paracorymbia fulva is reliably known to me (1991) from Belarus and Kharkov region
(Ukraine). It was recorded for Belarus by Aleksandrovitch ey al. (1996).

#184
Palimna liturata continentalis was regarded by Plavilstshikov (1958) as a synonym
of the nominative subspecies from Japan, but as a separate taxon by Gressitt (1951)

#185
Olenecamptus octopustulatus was recorded for Transbaicalie (Tchikoi - borderline
with Mongolia) by Tcherepanov (1983), so old records for the taxon for Mongolia (ignored
by Plavilstshikov, 1958) could be right.
Some Japan authors (Kusama and Takakuwa, 1984; Ohbayashi et al.,1992) regard
Ibidimorphum Motschulsky in Schrenck, 1860 (and so Olenecamptus octopustulatus
Motschulsky in Schrenck, 1860) as nomen nudum and accept the description Motschulsky in
Blessig, 1873. But the description of 1860 looks valid with type locality and colour
picture.

#186
Olenecamptus mordkovitshi was described after one specimen (with brown unicoloured
elytra without spots) from near Tchita ("Nizhniy Tsasuchei").

#187
I do not see conciderable differences between Pterolophia ussuriensis and P.
angusta Bates from Japan. Possibly P. maaki also has very close Japan taxon (P. kaleea?).

#188
According to Tsherepanov (1983):
Pteroplophia mandshurica = selengensis. Holotype and a paratype of P. selengensis
are preserved in Zoological Museum (St.-Petersburg). In general they are a little paler
than specimens from Far East Russia, but no other differences.
Egesina bifasciana was found on Sakhalin, Microlera ptinoides was found on
Kunashir. The latter is also recorded by Tsherepanov for Taiwan, may be on the base of
doubtful data of Gressitt (1951). According to Nakamura et al. (1992), M. ptinoides
absent in Taiwan.
Microlera ussuriensis sp.n. was described from Ussuri Land and later separated in a
new genus Pseudomesosella Miroshnikov, 1989 (Apodasyini).
As it was mentioned by Tsherepanov (1983: 134), the records of Acalolepta
fraudatrix for Kunashir by Danilevsky and Kompantzev (1979) and possibly by Krivolutzkaia
(1973) were concerned Japanese A. sejuncta, which is also known from Sakhalin, Korea and
possibly from Russian mainland (Danilevsky, 1998a). But Acalolepta fraudatrix was
recorded for Kunashir by Kusama & Takakuwa 1984.

#189
The synonymy: Pterolophia mandshurica = burakowskii was accepted (Lobanov et al.,
1981,1982) on the base of original description accompanied by a picture. The species was
described from East-Gobi Aimak. I've got a female from Bulgan-Aimak.

#190
I've got in my collection one specimen of Apomecyna histrio with the label: "East
Siberia, Selenginsk, 1914".

#191
Following Plavilstshikov (1958), we (Lobanov et al., 1982) used wrong spelling
"Pterycoptini" of Ptericoptini.
According to Breuning (1960) the tribe Apomecynini includes Ptericoptini with genus
Xylariopsis). The genus Mimectatina (=Doius) was placed in his Rhodopini (in my list
Apodasyini) or in Rhodopinini (Breuning, 1975).
Several authors regard Doius close to Xylariopsis and placed both in separate tribe
Ptericoptini (Gressitt, 1961, Tsherepanov, 1984)

#192
Rhodopinini seems to be composed of one genus only. Rhodopina is closed to Lamiini.
According to Linsley and Chemsak (1985), Desmiphorini (the name was accepted by
Vives,2000 for Anaesthetis and others) is rather special and includes only American
genera. Other genera of Rhodopinini (sensu lato), often included in Apodasyini, are not
close to each other and composition of the tribe is artificial (Miroshnikov, 1989).

#193
The synonymy: Microlera ussuriensis Tsher. = Miaenia florovi Tsher. was declared by
A.Lobanov (personal communication of 1987) on the base of holotypes study of both taxons
and was published as possible by Miroshnikov (1989) on the base of original descriptons.
Then it was published by G.O. Krivolutzkaia (in: Tsherepanov, 1993: 121) on the base of
A.Lobanov's opinion.

#194
According to Vorisek (personal communication of 1992), Armenien Stenidea genei is
possibly S.g.naviauxi Villiers, 1970 described from Iran.
The species was recorded for Stavropol Region (Mashuk Mt.) by Kasatkin and Arzanov
(1997).

#195
Sophronica obrioides (described from Japan) was primary recorded for Russia by
Plavilstshikov (1932: 194) as Lasiapheles obrioides Bates and then by Samoilov (1936:
233). Tsherepanov's (1984: 49-50) record was connected with wrong identification of
Ussurella napolovi (Danilevsky, 1995). Very possible that two first records were also
based on U.napolovi. So, S. obrioides most probably absent in Russia as well as on the
continent.

#196
The genera Deroplia (= Stenidea) and Oplosia were placed by Breuning (1963) in
Rhodopinini ("Rhodopini"). It is generally accepted position (in our list - Apopasyini).
But in the revision of "Asiato-Ausralienne" Rhodopinini (Breuning, 1975) both genera are
absent. May be the author regarded them as not quite "Asian"?
Oplosia was placed in Acanthoderini by Linsley, Chemsak (1985). This position can
be proved by larval characters (Mamaev, Danilevsky, 1975; Svacha, 2001).
Mimectatina = Doius (see Breuning, 1963).

#197
Terinaea atrofusca = Miania tiliae: the synonymy was published by G.O.
Krivolutzkaia (in: Tsherepanov, 1996: 121)on the base of the personal communication of S.
Murzin.
According to personal communication of S.Murzin of 1986, T. atrofuca tiliae is a
continental subspecies.

#198
According to Miroshnikov (1989), Mimectatina divaricata was found on the continent
(about 20km SE Ussurisk, 29.8.78, Kasparian leg.). The author prefers to regard Doius as
a separate genus.
Exocentrus lineatus was found on the continent (Nakhodka, 20.8.85, Belokobylsky
leg.).
Cornumutila quadrivittata was found on Kamtchatka Peninsula (Kozyrevsk, 7.85).
Following Tsherepanov (1979), the author regards C.quadrivittata = C.semenovi.
Miccolamia "verucosa" (in fact M.glabricula) was found in S Sakhalin (Kholmsk,
Dolinsk).

#199
Rh. schurmanni Breun., 1969 was found in Talysh by M.Danilevsky (1982). Once
(Breuning, 1975) the species was wrongly spelled as Rh. schuberti.

#200
According to Hasegawa and Ohbayashi (2001), Miccolamia verrucosa absent in Russia;
it was recorded before on the base of wrong determination of M. g. glabricula,
distributed in Japan, Sakhalin and Kurile Islands.

#201
E.Vives (2000) accepted the original spelling Aplocnemia Stephens, 1831, which was
changed in right form Aphelocnemia in the erratum to the original publication (according
to Villiers, 1978) in 1831: 414; according to Vives, 2000, in 1832: 406.

#202
Villiers (1970) transfered Mesosa obscuricornis to the subgenus Perimesosa because
of hairy elytrae.

#203
According to Hayashi (1964), Mesosa senilis belongs to the subgenus Aphelocnemia.

#204
Mesosa hirsuta ssp. continentalis Hayashi 1964 was described from Korea and
continental Russia.

#205
Apriona rugicollis (=germari) was recorded for East Siberia by Breuning (1962). The
occurrence of the species in the region seems to be possible, because of its very large
area (Indie, China, Korea, S-E Asia).

#206
According to J.Vorisek's opinion of 1992, Monochamus saltuarius must be divided in
European and Siberian subspecies.

#207
M. galloprovincialis consists of a number of subspecies: Caucasian M.g. ssp.
Lignator is characterized by strong development of orange-yellow elytral pubescence,
Siberian M.g. ssp. cinerascens just contrary often has glabrous or nearly glabrous
elytra. North of European Russia is already occupied by very typical M.g.cinerascens.

#208
The spelling of several names in some modern publications: M. urussovii, Tetrops
starkii, Agapanthia dahlii, but second "i" can be eliminated, because of generally
accepted usual spelling with one "i" - Article 33.3.1 of ICZN (1999).

#209
Siberian M. sutor can be regarded as a separate subspecies M.s. pellio Germ. 1818
becouse of poor elytral pubescence.

#210
According to E.Vives (2000: 659) Carinatodorcadion is a junior synonym of
Dorcadodium Gistel, 1856.

#211
The subspecies structure of D. carinatum was revised by Danilevsky (1998b).

#212
D. koenigi Jak., described from Daghestan (Temir-Klan-Choura), is distributed in
mountain Daghestan and characterized by narrow body (the types were studied by me).

#213
The nature of D. caucasicum is not clear (types are not available). Most probably
two closely related populations from near Tbilisi (with pubescent and with glabrous
elytrae) were described as D. caucasicum and D.sulcipenne. Anyway most of D. caucasicum
from Caucasus in Plavilstshikov's collection are represented by D. sulcipene exertum.
I preliminary accept the traditional interpretation of D. caucasicum
(Plavilstshikov, 1958; Breuning, 1962) as D. cinerarium. Caucasian D. cinerarium
(D.c.caucasicum) are all very different, but in general in this subspecies autochromal
females are less pronounced and sometimes absent (according to the materials of
D.Kasatkin: Karatchaevo-Tcherkessia, Daut Ravine, 6.1993 and neighbour Tchukulan Ravine
22.6.98).
In Sisian environs and in Karabakh populations both forms of females are
represented. One androchromal (glabrous) female (Megri reg., Shvanidzor env., Burtinkar
Mt., 24.4.98 Agababian leg.) and one autochromal (with pubescent elytra) female (Lalvar,
8.6.60) are preserved in M.Kalashian's collection. His autochromal female from Shorzha
(Gegarkuni reg., 20-25.5.99, M.Nabozhenko leg.) is most probable D.s.goektshanum.
The taxon described by me as D. cinerarium danczenkoi from Talysh Mts (Mistan env.)
is very special with very rough pronotal sculpture and total absence of pubescent forms
must be better regarded as species.

#214
Dorcadion panticapaeum was wrongly spelled (as "panticapeum") by Lobanov et
al.(1982).

#215
According to Danilevsky (1992) D. kalashiani sp.n. was recorded before for Talysh
(Lobanov et al., 1981: 789) as D. kasikoporanum. The latter is known from Arai-Ler Mt. in
Armenian Republic.
D. czegodaevi sp.n. was recorded before for Soviet Azerbaidzhan (Plavilstshikov,
1958) as D. kagyzmanicum Suvorov, 1915; the latter is absent on the territory of the
former USSR.

#216
D. impressicorne was described from Gori; same taxon was later described as D.
sulcipenne exertum. The opinion of Breuning (1962): impesseicorne = argonauta - is not
far from the reality, as D. argonauta is very close to D. sulcipenne and can be regarded
as one of its Transcaucasian subspecies. D. s. goktshanum Suvorov, 1915 is a well
definite subspecies from Sevan lake environs (I've got a big series from Sevan city
environs).

#217
Dorcadion caspiense Breuning, 1956 was described from Liryk and regarded as a
species (Breuning, 1962). It was regarded by Danilevsky and Miroshnikov (1985) as D.
sulcipenne caspiense. A big series of the taxon was collected near Lerik in Talysh by
A.Nekrasov in 1981.

#218
D. sericatum is regarded here as a species, so D. arenarium was absent in the USSR.

#219
D. litigiosum otshakovi Suv. was described from near Kherson and regarded by
Breuning (1962) as a subspecies. I accepted Plavilstshikov's (1958) position D.litigiosum
= D. otshakovi, but I've never seen a series of specimens from S Ukraine.

#220
D. mokrzeckii Jak. was primery found in Crimea out of the type locality: "Ottuk
Mt., 16.4.1999, Andreeva leg." - a pair of not quite typical specimens in my collection
received from V.Dolin.

#221
I've seen in Paris a series, identified by Breuning as D. elegans m. crimeense
Breun. It was D. mokrzeckii. So I regard D.crimeense as a synonym of D.mokrzeckii and D.
elegans most probably absent in Crimea.

#222
Dorcadion elegans was missed in the Key for Caucasus by Danilevsky and Miroshnikov
(1985) though it is known from the region (east Ciscaucasia). The species is known
westwards as far as Dnepropetrovsk where it is very common.

#223
According to Danilevsky (1992a) only one Dorcadion species is distributed in Kopet-
Dag, though the synonymy D.tuerki = D. komarowi was wrong. According to my series from
Mazanderan (where the type locality - Hadschgabad - is situated), D. tuerki is in general
bigger with less developed (or absent) erect elytral setae. But D.tuerki was absent in
USSR. Another synonymy was also wrong. D. komarowi is not a synonym of D. kryzhanovskii.
The latter is characterized by black legs and antennae with numerous black spots on
elytral white stripes, while D. komarowi has usually red legs and antennae with rare or
absent black elytral spots. So D. k. kryzhanovskii is a subspecies from Germab valley.

#224
According to my study of the syntypes: Dorcadion euxinum Suvorov, 1915 = D.
kubanicum Plav. 1934, that agrees with Plavilstshikov's (1958: 181) description of the
type of D.euxinum. According to Plavilstshikov (1958) a part of D. euxinum syntypes were
D. cinerarium.
In fact the difference between D. sareptanum and D. euxinum is very small and
sometimes totally absent. Several populations of D. euxinum are with very dark antennae
and legs that is unknowm in D. sareptanum (black legs and antennae was the main reason
for D. kubanicum), but D. euxinum with red legs and abtennae are also known, so I prefer
to regard it as a subspecies.
According to the type of D. striatiforme (in very bad condition), it is D.
s.euxinum.

#225
D. tristriatum is connected by the row of transitional forms with D. holosericeum,
so I regard D.h. tristriatum as south subspeciers. It is distributed eastwards along
Caucasian Ridge to Daghestan - one male from near Tlokh (2000m) in Andiyskoe Koysu Valley
(27.5.1988, V. Karasev leg., collection of S. Saluk).

#226
D. equestre m. transsilvanicum Ganglb., 1884 was described from Serbia and South
Romania, so this subspecies can be represented in Moldova.

#227
According to Danilevsky and Khvylia (1997), Dorcadion shirvanicum Bog. 1934 = D.
azerbajdzhanicum Plav. 1937

#228
D. bisignatum was recorded by Breuning (1962) for Batumi and regared by
Plavilstshikov (1958) as very possible for Adzharia.

#229
According to the original description, D. indutum had to be described from east
Transcaucasie, most probable from Karabakh. Just here the forms (and in Garni district of
Armenia) with pale elytral stripes are distributed. Black forms, described as
nigrosuturatum, are distributed north-westwards Sevan Lake. D. griseipenne was also
describe from here (Semenovka).

#230
Dorcadion sodale Hampe was recorded for USSR (Abbastuman, Achalzich) by Breuning
(1962).

#231
According to Danilevsky (1992a), D. jacobsoni = sokolowi = conicolle; and according
to Danilevsky (1993b), D. jacobsoni = apicipenne = sokolowi = amymon = dsungaricum =
melancholicum = conicolle and possibly = merzbacheri.
I do not know the type of D. merzbacheri. Its type locality is uncertain - "Thian-
Shan". But in the original description it was compared with "D. lucae" sensu Breuning, so
with D. jacobsoni and could be conspecific to it.
D. obtusicolle is a good speceis (I've studied the type in Prague), that agree with
Plavilstshikov's (1958) opinion, and just contrary to Breuning's (1962) opinion.

#232
D. samarkandiae was described after one female from "Samarkand" environs and was
compared with "D.lucae" sensu Breuning (that meens - D. jacobsoni). Only one species can
be in this region - D. turkestanicum, and its females can be really similar to D.
jacobsoni, but if the locality was wrong, it must be D. jacobsoni.

#233
According to Danilevsky (1993b): Dorcadion musarti Pic, 1907 is very close to D.
morozovi, but is a separate species.

#234
D. morozovi was found in China in the east part of Ketmen Ridge on Sarybutchun Pass
(northwards Tekes-city): 1 male, 2300m, 11.6.99, I.Belousov leg. (my collection). It was
collected together with several very big D. rufogenum.

#235
The revision of subspecies structure of D. semenovi was published by Danilevsky
(2002a). Old distributional data on D.s. semenovi and D.s. hauseri published by me
(Danilevsky, 1993b) were revised.

#236
Old data on the occurence of D. kuldshanum in Przhevalsk environs (Plavilstshikov,
1958; Breuning, 1962; Danilevsky, 1993b) were most probably based on specimens fron China
territory. No reliable data on the occurence od the species in Kirgizia (or in Kuldzha
environs) were available (Danilevsky, 2002a).

#237
New locality (about 160km eastwards Narynkol along Tekes River Valley) of Dorcadion
kuldschanum in China at the western most part of Narat Ridge in Koksu River Valley south-
eastwards Tekes (several males, 2000-2300m, 12.6.1999, I.Belousov leg.) makes more
possible the occurrence of the species in Kazakhstan near Narynkol.

#238
According to Danilevsky (1996a), D. politum = D. lydiae. The types of D. lydiae
(from Semipalatinsk) are just the most colourful specimens from the series, which was the
base for D. politum ab. nanellum - small D. politum politum.
I.A. Kostin (1973) proposed another synonyms D. eurygyne = balchashense = lydiae,
that was absolutely wrong.

#239
The separation of Compsodorcadion and Dorcadion s.str. was published by Danilevsky
(1996a).

#240
According to Danilevsky (1992a), D. crassipes is the valid name for D. obtusipenne
sensu Plavilstshikov (1958), Breuning (1962) and others (not Motschulsky, 1860). D.
obtusipenne was described from Kzyl-Orda environs and could be regarded as a valid name
for D. androsovi as was proposed by Danilevsky (1992a), but better both taxa must be
regarded as subspecies: D. glycyrrhizae androsovi and D. g. obtusipenne (according to
Danilevsky, 2001a).
The subspecific structure of D.crassipes was published by Danilevsky (1996a).

#241
Dorcadion ganglbaueri up to now is known only from Kazakhstan and the record for
Central Asian republics by Lobanov et al. (1982) was a mistake. According to
Plavilstshikov (1958) it is distributed between Tchimkent and Vysokoe. I also know a good
series from Aksu-Dzhabagly (Ak-Su River Valley, 2000m, 21.5.90, A.Konstaninov leg.). A
new unusual locality of this very rare species was found by me in Central Karatau Ridge
near Zhanatas (several hundreds of specimens on 27.4.93).

#242
The subspecies structure of D. gebleri was revised by Danilevsky (1996e).

#243
D. gebleri n. occidentale, raised to subspecies by Breuning (1962), was described
from "Kirgisensteppe westwarts bis zur Wolga". The locality is impossible for D. gebleri
known from east Kazakhstan. I saw the type in one of private collections. It was really
normal D. gebleri, as it was published by Plavilstshikov (1958). So the type locality was
wrong.

#244
A population of Dorcadion glycyrrhizae striatum (= rufifrons) from Orsk environs (1
female - Orenburg Region, Guberli, 2.6.98, O. Gorbunov leg. and a series from same
locality, 1-5.5.2001, M.Smirnov leg. - all in my collection) is characterized by a big
number of specimens with totally black antennae and totally black femora. Such specimens
are mixed with specimens of normal colour (red basal antennal joints and red femora).

#245
The subspecies structure of D. glycyrrhizae was revised by Danilevsky (2001a).

#246
The synonymy: D. cephalotes = turgaicum by Kostin (1973), who followed
Plavilstshikov's (1958) opinion on close relations between two species, was accepted by
Tsherepanov (1983). In fact two species belong to different subgenera. Very rare D.
turgaicum was unknown for Kostin and Tsherepanov. I've collected many specimens near Esil
(Astana Region)in two seasons: 18.5.1992 and 1.5.2001.

#247
The subspecies structure of D. arietinum was revised by Danilevsky (1996d).
According to Danilevsky (1996d), D. lucae Pic, 1898 (the holotype female is in
Eberswalde), described from Kuldzha is a subspecies - D. arietinum lucae, known up to now
oly from Kuldzha (Yining). Ealier it was regarded by Danilevsky (1992a)as a valid species
name for D. strandi. Breuning (1962) wrongly interpreted D.lucae as a valid name for
D.apicipenne = sokolovi. For Plavilstshikov (1958) D. lucae is a separate species close
to D. strandi.

#248
The subspecies structure of D. suvorovi was revised by Danilevsky (1996b).

#249
D. suvorovianum was restored by Danilevsky (1999d).

#250
D. matthiesini(sic!) m. unidiscale Breuning, 1946 (from Almaty) was regarded as D.
globithorax ssp. uniduscale by Danilevsky (1996a)from Kaskelen Ravine and then
(Danilevsky, 1999d) as a species D. unidiscale.

#251
The subspecies structure of D. mystacinum Ballion, 1878 is not investigated yet.
The taxon was described from "Kuldzha". Though the name was traditionally attributed by
all authors to the species from near Aulie-Ata (= Dzhambul = Taraz). I don't know the
type, but most probably the Ballion's specimens were really collected near Aulie-Ata. It
was very usual for Ballion to mention "Kuldzha" as type locality for the species from
Kazakhstan (for example Carabus lindemanni Ballion, 1878).
D. rufidens was described from "Syr-Daria" - the type is in S.-Petersburg with
label: "Syr-Darja, Arys". It meened the nearest to Arys slopes of Karatau Ridge as the
species close to D. mystacinum is not known from the plane between Karatau and Syr-Daria.
So I regard under the name D. mystacinum rufidens all mountain populations of D.
mystacinum from Karatau. According to available materials, D. mystacinum from different
parts of Karatau are very different and further subspecies divisions are desirable.
D. pumilio, described from near Chu-city is connected with D.mystacinum by a row of
transitional populations.
The combinations D. mystacinum rufidens and D. mystacinum pumilio were published by
Danilevsky (1999d: 39). Both taxa absent in Kirgizia. The record for Central Asian
republics by Lobanov et al. (1982) for D. pumilio were based on the data from original
description for "Frunze environs", which were really concerned with D. optatum
matthieseni; another original record for Alma-Ata environs were also wrong. The wrong
record for Central Asian republics by Lobanov et al. (1982) for D. rufidens were based on
Plavilstshikov's (1958) data, that the area of D.rufidens is totally same that of D.
mystacinum.

#252
The subspecies structure of D. optatum was revised by Danilevsky (1999d).

#253
The subspecies structure of D. tianshanskii was revised by Danilevsky (1999d).
Breuning (1962) used wrong spelling of radkevitshi ("radkewitschi").

#254
I've studied twy syntypes (males) of Dorcadion globithorax var. alexandris Pic from
"Alai" (a female from same series belongs to another pecuies) in Paris. The taxon was
later described as D. luteolum, as it was published by Plavilstshikov (1958).

#255
According to Danilevsky (1999d), D. globithorax, described from near Kapchagai, is
known up to now only from the type locality. Numerous records of this species from other
regions belong to other species.

#256
After study a big series of D. tibiale toropovi, collected by me (7.5.2000) in
itstype locality, I see that it must be considered as a species.

#257
The real area of D. pelidnum (the environs of Bystrovka = Kemin only) was described
by Danlevsky (1999d).

#258
Iberodorcadion fuliginator was recorded for Lithuania (Telnov et al., 1997), so -
D.f.fuliginator.

#259
I do not see the declared differences between Eodorcadion s.str. and
Ornatodorcadion.

#260
E. carinatum was described ater one specimen from "Siberia". I do not know the type
and regard as typical the populations of the species from West Siberia (Russian regions:
Orenburg, Cheliabinsk, Kurgan, Omsk, Novosibirsk; Kazakhstan regions: Kustanai,
Kokchetav, Atbasar, Semipalatinsk. I've got a pair of E.c.carinatum from Cheliabinsk
Region.
E. altaicum was described from Narym River Valley (right tributary of Irtysh
southwards Zyrianovsk: Bolshenarymskaia, Altaiskaia). It is very special form, not a
synonym of the nominative. I've studied the syntypes.
According to the original description of E. involvens m. blessigi, is a common
Altai form of E. carinatum with irregular white elytral stripes distributed in Shebalino
environs and southwards Chemal, and probably (according to Suvorov, 1909) as far
eastwards as Minusinsk.
Chemal environs are occupied by E. carinatum with regular white elytral stripes -
E.c. bramsoni (= gassneri). I've studied the holotype of Neodorcadion carinatum v.
bramsoni in Budapest.

#261
Eodorcadion dorcas was recorded fo Russia (Plavilstshikov, 1958), but most probably
it absent in Russian fauna, as its area is very far from Russian border (see Namhaidorzh,
1972). Plavilstshikov's (1958) data on E. dorcas area looks fantastic. It could be easy
missed with other black species.
The presence in Tuva E. humerale impluviatum seems to be possible but rather
unlikely.

#262
"Black" Eodorcadion of Tuva are represented by 3 close allopatric taxa, which could
be regarded as species or subspecies:
E. ptyalopleurum, described from Barlyk River, is distributed eastwards up to
Chadan only. It is also known from Shui River in the environs of Teeli and Ak-Dovurak.
The taxon is characterized by rough elytral sculpture with several granules on shoulders,
with bright white apical elytral stripes, with dense white abdominal pubescence.
The type locality of E. maurum (Алтай) was wrong. According to Namhaidorzh (1972)
the type series was collected near Ulangom. Same populaion was partly used for the
description of E. grumi. Another part of D. grumi syntypes was collected in north Tannu-
Ola (I've got such specimens from Torgalyk River). I do not see the difference between
specimens from Tuva and Mongolia. If the diiference exists, the synonymy maurum=grumi
could be canceled, after respective lectotype designation. Now the area of the taxon is
very large. Tuva: planes northwards Tannu-Ola, hills southwards Tannu-Ola from Mugur-Aksy
to Samagaltai. Mongolia: west part of Greate Lakes Valley southwards up to Kobdo. It is
characterized by smooth, often shining elytra without humeri granules, without epical
elytral white stripe, abdomen with less dense pubescence.
E. tuvense: most part o the type series was collected near Chaa-Hol, but holotype
is from Chadan environs. The taxon is also known from Shagonar environs. The environs of
Ishtii-Hem and Khondergei River Valley (a part of type series) are occupied by
transitional populations (to E.ptyalopleurum). The taxon is characterized by dull elytra
without humeral granules and without apical stripes; elytra always with very special
white sparce pubescence.
In all three taxa forms with regular white elytral stripes or with deep
longitudinal furrows are known.

#263
According to Namhaidorzh (1972), E. carinatum involvens m. bicoloratum
Plavilstshikov, 1958 is in fact a form of E. lutshniki without white stripes (I saw
syntypes in Plavilstshokov's collection, Moscow). According to my materials this form has
very distinct area and so must be regarded as subspecies. I know 3 populations: Shurmak
environs (east Tannu-Ola), Erzin environs (Saluk collection, Minsk) and according to
Namhaidorzh (1972)- Tes environs in Mongolia. In Tes population striated and glabrous
specimens are mixed - all with special sculpture and body form, so could be separated in
new subspecies (ZIN collection, St.-Petersburg).

#264
Eodorcadion katharinae Rtt., described from north Mongolia (most probably from
Ubsu-Nur Lake Valley) after one male (holotype in ZIN, St.Petersburg) and represented in
my collection by three males (south, east and north of the lake) must be evidently
excluded from Russian fauna as Russian forms from Tere-Hol Lake and Erzin environs
taransitional to typical E. quinquevittatum (south Kyzyl environs) are much more closer
to E. quinquevittatum than to E. katharinae. Both forms must be regarded as subspecies.
E. leucogrammum Suv., described from north Tannu-Ola (in my materials typical
population is represented by specimens from Bai-Haak) is also connected with E.
quinquevittatum by a row of transitional populations and is in fact its subspecies. E.
leucogrammum is also known to me from the north Kyzyl environs up to Turan and to the
east up to Saryg-Sep.
E.q.quinquevittatum is known to me eastwards up to Ishtii-Hem, but must be
distributed at least up to Chadan.

#265
According to Lobanov et al. (1982), Sama (1988) - type species of Pogonocherus
Dej.,1821 is Cerambyx fasciculatus Deg., 1775.
According to Bily and Mehl (1989) with reference to Silfverberg (1984) and Vives
(2000) for Pogonocherus Dej., 1821 - Cerambyx hispidus L., 1758.
According to Linsley and Chemsak (1984)for Pogonocherus Megerle, 1821 in Dejean -
Cerambyx hispidus F. (=hispidulus Piller) Guerin designation, 1826.
According to Kusama and Takakuwa (1984) for Pogonocherus Zett., 1828 - type species
is Cerambyx fasciculatus Deg., 1775, as Pogonocherus Dej., (Megerle) 1821 is nomen nudum.
According to Gressitt (1951) for Pogonocherus Zett.,1828 - Cerambyx hispidus L.,
1758.
According to Villiers (1978) for Pogonocherus Zett.,1829 - Cerambyx fasciculatus
Deg.,1775.

#266
According to Lobanov et al. (1981), Pogonocherus dimidiatus = tristiculus. The
synonymy was accepted by G.O. Krivolutzkaia (in: Tsherepanov, 1993).
According to Gressitt (1951), P. dimidiatus Bl., 1973 = P. seminiveus Bates, 1873.
Both names were accepted by Tcherepanov as the names of different species (island and
continental). I do not see the differences between both populations, so traditional
synonymysation is right.
The dates of both names must be checked: according to Kusama and Takakuwa (1984)
and Ohbayashi, Sato et Kojima (1992): seminiveus Bates,1873 = dimidiatus Bl.,1873.

#267
According to Dzhavelidze and Danilevsky (1981), Pogonocherus caucasicus = P.
kuksна. According to Danilevsky and Miroshnikov (1985), P. sieversi = P.caucasicus =
P.kuksha.

#268
According to A.F. Bartenev's materials collected in Crimea from Pinus and
identified by A.Lobanov in 1982, Pogonocherus perroudi presents in Crimea.

#269
According to E.Vives (2000), the date of Pityphilus Mulsant is 1862.

#270
P. costatus (described from Jakutsk) was often regarded as dark Siberian (including
Japan) subspecies of P. fasciculatus (Breuning, 1963, 1975; Kusama and Takakuwa, 1984).
But similarly colored specimens are also known even in Europe (Breuning, 1963), as well
as in Siberea pale specimens are also common (my materials). Pogonocherus fasciculatus =
P.costatus (see Danilevsky, 1998a).
Tsherepanov (1984) regarded both as different species with distinct larval
characters. Caudal larval plates of Tsherapnov's "costatus" from Tomsk environs are
impossible for P. fasciculatus. The picture of imago is also very special, so
identification of his species rests unclear. It is necessary to try to look for these
specimens in Novosibirsk.

#271
Oligoenoplus rosti iwatai Ikeda, 1987 was described from Japan.

#272
According to E.Vives, Pogonocherus ovatus Goeze, 1777 was described as Cerambyx
(not Sulzer, 1776) and must be replaced by Pogonocherus ovalis (Gmelin, 1790). The change
can not be accepted according to the Article 23.9. of ICZN (1999)

#273
According to E.Vives (2000), Aegomorphus clavipes (Schrank, 1781) was described as
Cerambyx (not Forster, 1771) and must be replaced to A. varius (F., 1787). The change can
not be accepted according to the Article 23.9. of ICZN (1999).

#274
According to Sama (1995), Oplosia fennica (Paykull,1800), described as Lamia
fennica (nec Linnaeus, 1758) must be replaced with Oplosia cinerea (Mulsant, 1839).

#275
According to Miroshnikov (1990) Acanthocinus giseus in Caucasus region is known
from N Caucasus (Ubinskaia, Gelendzhik) and from Armenia (Arzakan, Idzhevan).

#276
According to Hasegawa (1996) Acanthocinus griseus orientalis is a species as well
as A. carinulatus sachalinensis.
So, Kunashir and at least Iturup are occupied by A. orientalis and Sakhalin is
occupied by A. sachalinensis and may be A. carinulatus(?).
According to Japan data both A. orientalis and A. carinulatus are known from
Hokkaido.
The presence of A.griseus (Tsherepanov, 1984) in Primorie is not proved by
available materials.

#277
According to J.Voricek (personal communication of 1992), Leiopus caucasicus must be
regarded as a species, which is closer to L.bedeli, than to L.nebulosus.

#278
According to Breuning (1978), Leiopus femoratus = L. pachymerus.

#279
According to Breuning (1978), Lobanov et al. (1981,1982) and Tsherepanov (1984)
Leiopus malaisei (described from Kamtchatka)is a species. According to Ivliev, Kononov
(1966) it is just L.albivittis m. malaisei from Magadan environs. According to Danilevsky
(1988a), it is L. a. ssp. malaisei.

#280
According to Baeckmann (1924), Leiopus albivittis = L. ganglbaueri (described from
Enisei river southwards Krasnoiarsk); Pseudopidonia alticolluis = tristicula; Chloridolum
sieversi = Aromia coreana.

#281
According to Teocchi (1983), E. adspersus = E. alem-daghensis Breun.

#282
Exocentrus hirsutulus (Fald.,1837) was recorded for Caucasus on the base of 2
specimens collected in Nakhichevan by S.M.Iablokov-Khnzorian (Lobanov et al., 1982;
Danilevsky and Miroshnikov, 1985). Plavilstshikov (1927) proposed to regard the name as
nomen nudum, because of poor description. The species was excluded from the genus
revision by Breuning (1958). We accept here the position by Winkler (1929) E. adspersus =
? hirsutulus.
Specimens from Nakhichevan most probably represent a new species.

#283
According to J.Vorisek (personal communication of 1992) Ex. punctipennis from
Transcaucasie can be attributed to E. punctipennis signatus, described from
Konstantinopol and recorded for Turkey and Greece (Breuning, 1958).
E. punctipennis was recorded for Rostov Region by Kasatkin and Arzanov (1997).

#284
A.I.Tsherepanov (1985):
transferred Eumecocera to Saperdini on the base of larval characters;
recorded Oberea scutellaroides for Russia (as O. chinensis sp.n.);
regarded Molorchus semenovi as a subspecies of M. kiesenwetteri Muls.

#285
According to Danilevsky (1988d), Stenostola atra Gressitt, 1951 was recorded for
Russia (Lobanov et al.,1981,1982) on the base of wrong determination of Eumecocera
callosicollis.

#286
E.Vives (2000) regards Cerambyx carcharias L., 1758 as type species of Saperda
(Westwood designation, 1840), while in fact it is Cerambyx scalaris L., 1758 (Curtis
designation, 1829). So, Anaerea is not a synonym of Saperda.
There is no type designation of Saperda in "Hist. Nat. Gen.et Partie" Tome 3 by
Latreille (1802: 215) as it was stated by some colleagues. Latreille's text: "Les
saperdes de Fabricius. Exemple Saperda carcharias F." - is not a type designation.
I prefer now to regard Saperda s.l. consisting of several subgenera including
Lopezcolonia (replacing name for Argalia Mulsant, 1862 not Gray, 1846).

#287
According to Danilevsky (1993b):
Saperda subobliterata = S. mandschukuoensis = A. harbinensis (the last position was
originally published by P. Dessart (1983).
Conizonia (Iranocoptosia) fausti = I. balashowskyi.

#288
One female from Khabarovsk Region (10-17.7.1991, Shadinkov leg.) was preliminary
identified by me as Saperda bilineatocollis Pic. It is close to S.populnea, but without
elytral spots and with bright pronotal hair stripes.

#289
According to Danilevsky and Miroshnikov, 1985, Stenostola maculipennis is a
subspecies of S.ferrea.

#290
Nupserha alexandrovi must be included in Japan fauna (Tokio env., 24.7.32 and
27.7.38, N.Filippov leg. - male and female in my collection).
The date of N. alexandrovi was wronly mentioned by Lobanov et al. (1982) as 1921.
Many original Plavilstshikov's descriptions of 1915 were published once more in 17th(1917)
volum of Russ.Ent.Obozr. appeared in 1921. That is why wrong "1921" appeared in many
publications (Gressitt, Breuning) for: Macrorhabdium, M. ruficolle, Gaurotes
kozhevnikovi, Pseudopidonia unifasciata, P. subsuturalis, Ropalopus speciosus.

#291
The synonymy Oberea herzi = coreana, accepted by Lobanov et al. (1981) and
Tsherepanov (1985) was wrong, and our reference to Breuning (1960-62) was not exact, as
Breuning proposed another synonymy: O.herzi = morio = scutellaroides = coreana. According
to Gressitt (1951), all four are different species. Here I regard O. morio = coreana and
others names belong to different species.

#292
Oxilia argentata was recorded for Iran (Tegeran) by Breuning (1967).

#293
Pteromallosia albolineata was regarded as Conizonia (Pteromallosia) albolineata by
Breuning (1954) or as Conizonia albolineata by Lobanov et al. (1982).

#294
According to Danilevsky (1990), M. scovitzi tristis Reitter, 1888 = M. angelicae
Rtt., 1890.
A population of Mallosia from Armenia northwards Bichenek Pass (Angechakot, 1600m,
20.6.87, Kadlec et Vorisek leg. - one male in my collection) is morphologically identical
to typical M. tristis from Talysh. Taking into account that typical M. scovitzi is very
common southwards Bichenek Pass and all around Armenia, I prefer to regard M. tristis as
a species.

#295
Paramallosia afghanica Fuchs was found in Turkmenia: one specimen from Kopet-Dag
(without exact data) in collection of S.Murzin and one female (Kopet-Dag, Ipai-Kala,
6.5.1989) in my collection.

#296
Phytoecia kubani described from Tadzhikistan must be placed in Conizonia.

#297
A male of Ph.(Helladia) humeralis and a male of C.(Eurycoptosia) bodoani (both in
my collection) were found by V.Siniaev (1992) in Talysh.

#298
Phytoecia tigrina (Armenia) and Agapanthia maculicornis (Dagestan) were recorded
for Caucasus by Miroshnikov (1990).

#299
Conizonia (Coptosia) bithyniensis Ganglb., 1884 was recorded for Ordubad by
Breuning (1954).
Coptosia was regarded as a genus by Plavilstshikov (1948), Bense (1995).
According to Breuning (1966: 741) it is a subgenus of Conizonia.
According to Lobanov et al. (1981), it is a subgenus of Phytoecia.

#300
According to Danilevsky (1988d), Mallosia imperatrix Dan. was recorded for USSR
fauna (Lobanov et al., 1982) after wrong interpretation of Plavilstshikov's (1948) record
for Armenia M. imperatrix cribratofasciata Dan., that is just a synonym of M. caucasica
Pic (Breuning, 1954). Mallosia imperatrix absent in Transcaucasie.

#301
According to J.Vorisek (personal communication of 1992) most of subgenera of
Phytoecia s.l. must be regarded as genera. Pseudocoptosia must be subgenus of Conizonia,
and Pseudomusaria must be a subgenuas of Musaria.

#302
I regard: Ph. cinerascens Kr., 1882 = Phytoecia sokolovi Sem., 1895 and Ph.
eylandti Sem., 1891 = Phytoecia glasunovi Sem., 1895.

#303
I (1994) identified in Dubatolov's (Novosibirsk) materials:
1 male of Agapanthia nigriventris (Badkhyz, 20-25km SE Polekhatum, Gezgiadyk Ridge,
15-16.4.93, D.V. Logunov leg.);
Phytoecia eylandti (Badkhyz);
Dorcadion gebleri (Kemirkol Lake, SW Kurchum, 26.6);
D. eurygyne (left Irtysh bank near Ust-Kamenogorsk, Menovoe, 19.8.88 and
Serebriansk env., 7.5.93).
I received 1 male and 2 females of A.nigriventris (Badkhyz, Gezgiadyk, 10.4.1993,
A.Klimenko leg.).

#304
According to Plavilstshikov (1961), Phytoecia farinosa = mucida.

#305
Ph. pretiosa ninives Sama, 1994 was described from Irak.

#306
According to Danilevsky and Kadlec (1990) 3 ex. of Ph. orbicollis were collected
near Burakan.

#307
A big series of Ph. iranica in collection of C.Holzschuh (Vienna) includes
specimens with same elytral design as in Ph. armeniaca and as in Ph. natali; though in
Armenia strong development (and fusion) of black elytral spots is unknown. Ph. natali is
up to now (2001)known after only one specimen (from near Altyagach in Azerbajdzhan).
Until new materials available it would be better to regard all 3 taxa as subspecies.

#308
Ph. rubropunctata was recorded for Czechia and Slovakia by Heyrovsky (1955), for
Crimea by Plavilstshikov (1965) and on the base of this record by Lobanov et al. (1982)
for USSR. According to Bense (1995) all records of Ph. rubropunctata for East Europe were
connected with wrong determination of Ph. argus. The easten most locality of Ph.
rubropunctata is in West Germany.

#309
Ph. affinis (Europe), tuerki (Brousse, Turkey), boeberi (Teberda) and volgensis
(Volga River) were usually regarded as different species (Breuning, 1951; Plavilstshikov,
1965; Lobanov et al., 1984). The natural relations between all four taxa are not clear.
I do not now in Caucasus specimens with so bright orange pubescence as in certain
specimens from Brusse (but other specimens can be very similar to Caucasian).
All specimens from Volgograd environs are with pale elytral pubescence and such
typical Ph. volgensis can be collected westwards up to Stavropol, though already from
Daghestan they are mixed with specimens covered by black pubescence and both forms can be
here with red or black pronotum. Even in Teberda the typical Ph. boeberi with black
pronotum are mixed with specimens of red pronotum, which are very close to European Ph.
affinis (Ph. affinis from Europe also can be sometimes with black pronotum as well as
with pale elytral pubescence).
Specimens with black pronotum are dominant in Armenia, Azerbaidzhan (including
Nakhichevan), East Georgia (Tbilisi and eastwards) and seems in north Caucasus from
Daghestan to Stavropol.
Specimens with red pronotum are dominant in West Caucasus including West Georgia
(Borzhomi), Black Sea Coast, Krasnodar environs and mountains around Guseriple.
So I prefer now to regard all four taxa as subspecies.
Ph. a. nigropubescens is a preliminary name for Caucasian subspecies with red
pronotum specimens dominating. I do not know the type locality of this name - if it is
Teberda, then boeberi = nigropubescens, and for West Caucasian subspecies must be found
another name (circassica Rtt., 1888; starcki Rtt., 1888).
The combinations Ph. nigripes ssp. nigropubescens and Ph. nigripes ssp. tuerki were
published by Villiers (1978).

#310
Ph. astarte lederi, distributed in Transcaucasie, differs from the nominative
subspecies from Turkey by black elytral pubescence.

#311
Ph. puncticollis stygia Ganglb., 1886 from Kopet-Dag is always with black
prothorax.

#312
According to Breuning (1951) the author of Ph. (Neomusaria) suvorovi is not Koenig,
1906 (Plavilstshikov, 1930, 1948), but Pic, 1905.
The species was recorded for Caucasus by Lobanov et al., (1982) and for Armenia
(Megri) by Danilevsky, Miroshnikov (1985).

#313
Ph. analis Mannerheim, 1849, not Ph. analis (F.,1781), was changed by Breuning
(1951) to Ph. mannerheimi. I do not know, why another names (ferrea Ganglbauer, 1887; or
atropygidialis Pic, 1939)were not used.

#314
According to Lobanov et al. (1981), Ph. pustulata (m. pulla) = Ph. kryzhanovskii.
According to Danilevsky (1992), Phytoecia pustulata = Ph. pilipennis (Ordubad).
Ph. pustulata from Kazakhstan and possibly from SE Russia are much darker than from
Europe, with rather special pubescence and must be regarded as Ph. p. ssp. pulla.
Also specimens from Caucasus are often darker with veru dense pubescence and can be
regarded as Ph. p. murina.

#315
According to G. Sama (1988a: 184), the records of Ph. rufipes for Siberia and
Central Asia are connected with wrong identification of another species - Ph. sibirica.
Same statemen (Sama, 1988) was explained by monophagy of Ph. rufipes on Foeniculum, which
is absent in Russia and Central Asia.
After study of my series of Ph. rufipes from Kazakhstan G.Sama (personal
communication) recognized, that it did not differ from European specimens and must be
identified as Ph. rufipes. According to my observations, Ph. rufipes developes in
Kazakhstan and Central Asia on Prangos spp.
Ph. rufipes latior Pic, 1895 (Akbes, Turkey) was restored by Sama (1996).

#316
Phytoecia cinctipennis was recorded for Kurgan Region of Russia (Tsherepanov,1982).

#317
Ph.(Opsilia) tienschanica was described after two specimens: holotype (male) from
"Sussamyrgebirge, Ketmen Tjube" (Ketmen-Tiube on the south bank of Toktogul water
reserve, Kirizia) and a female from Narynkol. I saw in Vienna both specimens from Fuchs
private collection. Both specimens are rather dark, but not black with distinct blue
pubescence. They are sure conspecific to numerous Ph. coerulescens collected by me in
deifferent parts of Central Asia (Alabel Pass - just near type locality, Karatau,
Chimgan, Kuramin Ridge, Zaamin Ridge, Nuratau, Samarkand, Piandzh, Marka-Kol,
Zyrianovsk). I am not sure if this form is conspecific to European and Caucasian
Ph.coerulescens.

#318
Ph. bucharica was described from "OST BUCHARA, Tschitschantan, Nufswald, F.Hauser
1898" (two syntypes in collection of C.Holzschuh). The locality is situated in Tadzhik
area (Vorukh) southwards Isfara (39°51'N,70°35'E).
Ph. breuningi G. Dahlgren, 1988 was described after one female from same series
(Ost Buchara, Nusswald,Tschitschantan, F. Hauser, 1898), which is preserved in Ebersvalde
and was studied by me. So, Ph. bucharica = Ph. breuningi.
Two such males from Tadzhikistan are preserved in collection of C.Holzschuh
(Gandzhino, Kizil-Kala, 1200m, 12-13.4.1978, V.Dolin leg.).
I've compared a big series of Opsilia (22 males and 14 females from Afghanistan
(Nurestan, N Waigal riv., 2000-3000m, IV-VII, 1971-73, O.Kabakov leg.) with 4 Opsilia
bucharica of C.Holzschuh. variability range of Afghan series includes all known to me
specimens of Ph. bucharica and I do not see aven subspecific differences.

#319
Ph. prasina (described from Luristan) was recorded for Talysh (Danilevsky, Kadlec,
1990). The record (Breuning, 1951) for "Buchara" (Tadzhikistan?) is very doubtful.
One specially coloured female was collected by Miroshnikov in Armenia (Gehard).

#320
After study of big series of Balcan Ph. vittipennis and Armenien Ph. pravei I see
the distinct constant differences, so I cancel the synonymy published by Lobanov et al.
(1981) and prefer now to return to Plavilstshikov's position on two different species.
Breuning (1951) regarded both as subspecies.
I collected Ph. prawei in Turkmenia (8ex.: Kopet-Dag, Dushak Mt.,1800m, 23.6.1992).

#321
The tribe Hippopsini was included in Agapanthiini by Breuning (1962, 1966). The
genera Calamobius and Theophilea were regarded in Agapanthiini (Breuning, 1966). This
natural position was accepted by (Сhemsak et al., 1982).

#322
The typical A. violacea and A.intermedia from C. Europe (France and Czechia) are
really rather different (A. violacea without dense white pubescence on metepisternum,
long erect elytral setae are gradually shortened backwards reaching apices; while in A.
internedia long setae are only near shoulders.
According to my materials from Moscow to Saratov only typical A.intermedia are
distributed.
In steppe area a variable taxon of transitional characters is very numerous
(species?). In my materials: from Kherson through Volgograd to Ural valley.
In North Caucasus (Krasnodar and Stavropol regions) both forms (violacea and
intermedia are occue sympatrically.
In Crimea only A. violacea is distributed.
In Transcaucasie local forms similar to A. violacea are very common as well as A.
persicola (Talysh, Nakhichevan, Megri, Kafan, Agveran; a series from Kopet-Dag collected
from Runex), differing dense white pubescence of metepisternum (in A. intermedia the
episternal pubescence is concentrared in line) and very dense erect elytral pubescence
reaching apices. All big Agapanthia from Transcaucasia belong to A. chalybaea, also
distributed in East and Central Anatolia (A. osmanlis, described from Stambul env.,
absent in Transcaucasia - I've got it from Bulgaria and Hungary). A. chalybaea can be
green, blue and metallic-gray. Besides a small bright-green Agapanthia is very numerous
in Khosrov, with very rough pronotal punctation, episternum pubescence like in
A.intermedia, but with numerous erect elytral setae (new species?).
The easten most locality of A. intermedia in my materials is in Karaganda environs.
Rather typical A. violacea is in my materials from Zailiisky Alatau (Talgar),
Dzhungarsky Alatau, Tarbagatai.
In South Kazakhstan and Kirgizia (Chimkent, Karatau, Talassky Alatau, Chu-Ili Mts.,
Ily River Valley, Bishkek env.) A. talassica (described as A. violacea talassica). Series
of syntypes is preserved in my collection (2 males and 2 females, S. Kazakhstan, Talassky
Alatau, Daubaba, 15.4.62, 22.4.62, 7.5.1962, A. Badenko leg.). The species is close to A.
persicola, but erect elytral setae are rather long au to elytral apices.
A. incerta described from Tadhikistan is close to A. talassica, but well differs by
very big eyes; no other blue Agapanthia in Tadzhikistan. It is also known from near
Samarkand.

#323
A. muellneri and A. soror were recorded for Kazakhstan (Zailiisky Alatau) by
Kadyrbekov and Tleppaeva (1997); both species were mentioned by Kostin (1973,1978), but
without exact data. Rhagium inquisitor, Saperda perforata, Xylotrechus rusticus were also
recoded for Zailiisky Alatau.
A. soror, S. perforata, X. rusticus were recorded for North Tian-Shan by Kadyrbekov
(1999).

#324
I've studied the types of Agapanthia bucharica in Paris. It is similar to A.
kirbyi, which is absent in Central Asia, and has no connection with A. hauseri. So
position of Breuning (1961), hausery = bucharica (accepted by Lobanov et al., 1981) was
wrong. The similarity to A.kirbyi, which was also stated in the original description is
connected with relatively uniform elytral pubescense. The old name of type locality
"Buchara" is most probably connected with modern Tadzhikistan (see, for example, Semenov-
Tian-Shansky, 1935). Until new investigations I prefer now to regard A. bucharica as a
synonym of A. detrita.
Plavilstshikov (1968) regarded the taxon as a species with special record for
Chardzhou (Turkmenia).

#325
A. lateralis was recorded for USSR (Lobanov et al., 1982) on the base of old
doubtful data (Pic, 1910; Reitter,1898) and must be exluded from the list of the region.

#326
According to Hayashi (1979) Leptura doii was described from "Etorofu, S.Kurile Is."
and is a synonym of L. aethiops. L. doii was recorded as a species for Iturup Is. by
Krivolutzkaia 1973 and then based on this record for USSR by Lobanov et al. (1981). The
taxon was restored by Kusama snd Takakuwa (1984) with larger data on type locality: "Is.
Etorofu, Kurile Isls., Hokkaido". The restoration was not suppoted by Ohbayashi et al.
(1992).

#327
Eutetrapна sedecimpunctata = Saperda motschulskyi (Tsherepanov, 1985).

#328
According to Danilevsly (1988c), Agapanthia auliensis Pic (described from Aulie-Ata
= Dzhambul = Taraz) is a valid name for the species wrongly identified by Plavilstshikov
(1968) and Kostin (1973) as A. angelicae. The species absent in Turkmenia and Uzbekistan;
it is distributed in Kazakhstan from Muinkumy to Ily River Valley. I've got big series
both from near Taraz and from near Kapchagai and can not see any differences.
Becouse of this old mistake the species was described from Ily Valley once more
under the name A. amabilis Holz. I've seen the type series and have specimens from
Holzschuh's collection, so A. auliensis = A. amabilis.

#329
The date of A. altaica songarica was wrongly mentioned by Lobanov at al.(1982) as
1978. The subspecies, described by Kostin (1978) as new, was desribed before as A. dahli
songarica Kostin, 1973.

#330
A. villosoviridescens was wrongly recorded by Lobanov et al. (1982) for Far East
Russia and East Asia without any reasons. According to Tsherepanov (1984),
A.villosoviridescens = A. daurica.

#331
According to personal communication of Zagaikevitch (1982), he identified Vadonia
bisignata Brulle. from near Kishinev. According to personal communication of J.Vorisek
(1992), this statement is impossible, because V.bisignata is known only from
Peloponnessos and Thessalonike. It could be V.moesiaca, known from Rumania.

#332
Rhopaloscelis caucasicus Danilevsky (nomen nudum), mentioned by Lobanov et al.
(1982), was marked out on the base of wrong identification of Rh. schurmanni.

#333
According to personal communication of Zagaikevitch (1983), in Cerambycinae several
supertribes could be criated: Cerambycites, Rosaliites, Callidiites, Clytites,
Callichromites, Molorchites. The last supertribed is the most specialized one.

#334
Dorcadion leopardinum was recorded for USSR by Lobanov et al. (1982) without any
reasons (Danilevsky, 1988d).

#335
The separation of Callidium aeneum in subgenus Callidostola was accepted by Winkler
(1929), Kusama and Takakuwa (1984) and others. For Villiers (1978), Bily and Mehl (1989)
it is a genus.

#336
The genus Trichoferus was sometimes regarded (Villiers, 1946) as a subgenus of
Hesperophanes.

#337
According to Rose (1983), Penichroa is in Hesperophanini.

#338
The type species of Olenecamptus, according to Lobanov et al. (1982) is O. serratus
Chevr., according to Gressitt (1951) is O. serratus Chevr., 1835 = bilobus F., according
to Plavilstshikov (1958), is Saperda bilobus F., 1801.

#339
Oplosia suvorovi was regarded as a species by Tsherepanov (1984)

#340
Agapanthia lais Reiche 1858 was described from Balkan Peninsula ("du Peloponese")
and absent in Central Asia. It was recorded for Tadzhikistan by Plavilstshikov (1968),
Lobanov et al. (1982) because of wrong identification of A. incerta.

#341
According to the study of the type series of Chlorophorus motschulskyi chasanensis
Tsherep.,1982 form Khasan Lake by A.Lobanov (personal communication of 1987) it is a
synonym of the nominative form.

#342
Special reference must be made in the case when the original description was
prepared by the author, who was not the author of the publication.

#343
Due to unpredictable and unprecedented delay of the publication of my aticle
(Danilevsky, 1987) by "Revue d'Entomologie de l'URSS" more than for 3 years, all new
names of this paper were published in the key by Danilevsky and Miroshnikov (1985)
without full description, photographs and type materials. So, the type materials,
published in 1987, were represented by lectotypes and paralectotypes.

#344
According to Danilevsky (1999d), Exocentrus curtipennis Pic 1918 recorded for USSR
by Plavilstshikov (1932), Lobanov et al. (1982), was previously described as
E.fasciolatus Bates, 1873 (Breuning, 1958) from Japan and absent in Russia.

#345
According to Danilevsky (1988a), O. scutellaroides Br. = O. chinensis Tsher.
A series of "Oberea chinensis" in Tsherapnov's collection consists of two species:
pale specimens are O. herzi, dark specimens are O. morio; but no O. scutellaroides.
I've got a big series of O. scutellaroides from Russia (Ussuri-Land, Barabash-
Levada, 2-4.6.1989, S.Nikireev leg. and same locality, 24-30.5.1989, D.Obydov leg.).

#346
Arhopaloscelis bifasciatus (as Rhopaloscelis) was recorded for Sakhalin and Kunahir
by Tsherepanov (1984).

#347
Euribatus gravidus was placed in USSR list by Lobanov et al. (1981) on the base of
Heyrovsky (1952) record: "Turcmenia, Kara-Kum Wuste", which is unbelievable.

#348
E. chrysargirea was recorded by Krivolutzkaia (1973) for Kuriles on own materials
and then by Lobanov et al. (1982). It was evidently wrong determination of
E.chrysochloris (which was "absent" in Krivolutzkaia's materials). She included in the
area of her "chrysargirea" East Siberea, so joined island species to continental E.
metallescens. In fact E. chrysochloris chrisargirea (described from Honshu) is a south
Japan subspecies (Kusama, Takakuwa, 1985) and absent on Kuriles, Hokkaido and the
continent.

#349
According to Villiers (1978), American genus Cyrtophorus absent in Palaearctic
Region. If it would be necessary to separate A.bicallosus and A.gibbosus in Anaglyptus
s.str., then other subgenus needs a new name.

#350
According to J.Vorisek (personal communication of 1992), he has Dorcadion
scabricolle and Dorcadion similar to D.argonauta from Kara-Kala, D. holosericeum from
Chuli. All specimens were "collected" by Potopolsky (Ashkhabad) - the data are
unbelievable.

#351
According to Lobanov et al. (1981), Xylotrechus rufilius = X. irinae, that was
accepted by Tsherepanov (1982).
X. magnicollis, described from West China (and known from Taiwan to Burma and
Assam), was recorded for Russia by Gressitt (1951) and Hayashi (1992) on the base of
synonymy: X. magnicollis = X. irinae. The species identity of X. rufilius and X.
magnicollis is rather possible (according to my series from Taiwan).

#352
According to Miroshnikov (personal communication of 1993):
D. ciscaucasicum = D. mokrzeckii
Dorcadion "cinerarium" from Taman peninsula is D. panticapaeum. The record was
published by Kasatkin and Arzanov (1997).

#353
According to Miroshnikov (personal communication of 1993), old materials collected
by Vostrikov are often with strange locality data:
D. elegans - Elisavetpol (= Kirovabad = Giandzha)
D. wagneri - Tersk. Region, Naurskaia
D. scabricolle - Grosnyi

#354
According to J.Vorisek (personal communication of 1992), A. pavlovskii must be
placed in subgenus Protapatophysis Sem. et Schegl.-Bar. 1935, but in fact it has no
special characters: female coxae are widely separated as in Apatophysis s.str., males and
females without glabrous pad line of all tarsi joints, 3d tarsi joints are with sharp
lobes.

#355
According to E.Vives (2000) Penichroa fasciata (desribed as Callidium fasciatum
Stephens, 1931, not Herbst, 1784, not Billberg, 1817) must be replaced with P. timida
(Menetries, 1831). The necessaty of the name change must be checked in agree with Article
23.9.1. of ICZN (1999).

#356
Strangalia = Strangalina because of same type species.

#357
According to Tsherepanov (1987):
Stenocurus quercus was recorded for West Saian Mts. (so probably is also
distributed in West Siberia?).
Anoplodera rufipes was recorded for West Saian Mts. (so probably is also
distributed in West Siberia?).
Phymatodes testaceus was recorded for Altai (Maima River, 5km from Kyzyl-Ozek)

#358
Several wrong records for Tadzhikistan were made by A.K.Kadyrov (1989), sometimes
with wrong references to Semenov-Tian-Shanskij (1935). The following reported species
absent in Tadzhikistan:
Pogonarthron tshitsherini (recorded as Prionus)
Polylobarthrom margelanicus (: as Prionus)
Dorcadion turkestanicum
Agapanthia violacea
Agapanthai lais
Under the names Oberea erythrocephala and O. ruficeps most probably one species was
recorded - O. ruficeps muchei. For both species Saccharum officinarum was recorded as a
food plant, while up to now they are known only from Euphorbia.

#359
Volume 9th of Rev.Russe d'Entom. with Suvorov's descriptions of 1909 has on the
title another date - 1910.
Volume 10-th of Rev.Russe d'Entom. with Suvorov's descriptions of 1910 has on the
title another date - 1911.
Volume 11-th of Rev.Russe d'Entom. with description of Rosalia coelesthis Sem. and
Suvorov's descriptions of 1911 has on the title another date - 1912.

#360
There is a male of Alosterna scapularis from Kopet-Dag in Zoological Museum, St.-
Petersburg (Nukhur, Transcaspian Reg., Archman env., Christof leg.).

#361
Eodorcadion humerale (Gebler, 1823; Mem.Soc.Nat.Moscou), but not E. humerale
(Fischer-Waldheim, 1823; Mem.Soc.Nat.Moscou), as it was published by Breuning (1961),
though Fischer-Waldheim (1823) also published the description of Dorcadion humerale, but
in his "Entomographia Imperii Rossici" and with reference to Gebler.
In Gebler's description the type locality was mentioned precisely ": in pratis
fabricae Petrovsk prope Werchnei-Udinsk."
The pictures to "Entomographia imperii Rossici" vol.2. 1923-24 by Fischer-Waldheim
were published before (1923). So the date of new names is 1923 if they are illustrated,
if not - 1924.

#363
The date of Dorcadion glycyrrhizae (Pallas), published as Cerambyx in "Reise durch
verschiedene Provinzen des Russischen Reichs, T.2", is 1773, as it was shown in the
references to the article by Danilevsky (2001a), but not 1771, as it was wrongly
mentioned in the title of the article and in its text (pp. 1-4). The mistake was left in
the paper after first version of my text based on Breuning (1961) data.
The original spelling "glicyrrhizae" restored by me (Danilevsky,1999), must be
forgotten according to the Article 33.2.3.1. of the ICZN (1999). The general accepted
spelling "glycyrrhizae" must be used.

#364
It is not evident that Rhamnusium bicolor and Rh. gracilicorne are different
species. But if they are different (Villiers, 1978), then Rh. bicolor is distributed only
in West Europe.

#365
There are two similar Cortodera ruthena from near Aktiubinsk in collection of P.V.
Romantzov (St.-Petersburg) - yellow elytrae, black legs and abdomen.
Male: Temir valley, Pokrovsky 22.5.2000 Romantzov leg.
Female: Karahobda River, Alpaisai 26.5.2000 Romantzov leg.

#366
A pair of Grammoptera gracilis were collected on Sakhalin by R.V. Filimonov
(Sakhalin, Susunai Ridge, 10km E Novoalexandrovsk, 29.06.91).

#367
Tetrops formosa bivittulata Jankowski, 1934, described from Zailiisky Alatau (Alma-
Ata) as variation differs from the nominative subspecies (Issyk-Kul) by dark general
colour and specially by usual presence of elongated elytral black spots. It was regarded
as a subspecies distributed in Zailiisky Alatau by Kostin (1973: 206) under the name "T.
formosa bivittulata Plav." Wrong attribution of the name to Plavilstshikov was repeated
by Lobanov et al. (1981: 790-791) in the wrong synonymization: "Tetrops formosa formosa
Baeckm., 1903 = T. formosa bivittulata Plav., 1954 (sensu Kostin, 1973)".
T.f.songarica (Dzhungarsky Alatau) has just same colour as T.f. formosa. The
differences between these two very distant subspecies are not clear yet because of too
small number of known specimens.
The statement of Kostin (1973), that in Ily valley two Tetrops species:
"T.plavilstshikovi" (=elaegni) and T. formosa songarica live together is wrong. According
to his materials in Zoological Museum (S.-Petersburg), he identified less pubescent
T.elaeagni from Ily valley as T. formosa songarica. So T. f. songarica is distributed
only in Dzhungarsky Alatau and absent in Ily River valley.

#367
Agapanthia nitidipennis was described after one male from near Tbilisi (Dzvari,
22.5.1975). I saw the holotype and received one specimen from Holzschuh's collection:
Azerbajdzhan, Besh-Barma (Zarat), 13.6.1979. In my own materials the species is
represented by series from Georgia (Tbilisi,Tzhneti,Dzagvi,Mleta), Azerbajdzhan
(Altyagach) and from Daghestan: Rutul env., 24.6.2001, M. Ismailova leg.

#368
The iterpretation of two species of European Stenostola is different in different
publications. According to Bily and Mehl (1989), the species with more developed metallic
lustre and rough elytral punctationis is S. ferrea ("Body black with slight metallic
lustre. Elytra with coarse punctuation." Villiers (1978)accepted same position: "Corp
d'un noir ardoise, a net reflet metallique." But for Bense (1995) S. ferrea: "Elytra
macroscopically without a blue metallic shine; :", and S. dubia: "Elytra macroscopically
with a distinct blue shine; :". This position was accepted by Heyrovsky (1955),
Plavistshikov (1965) and many other authors incuding Danilevsky and Miroshnikov (1985 -
so S. ferrea maculipennis Holz. belongs to European species with less metallic lustre,
finer punctuation and denser pubescence). That is why all faunistical records of two
species are doubtful.
According to Plavilstshikov (1965) Stenostola in the European part of the USSR was
distributed southwards from the south of forest areas. According to Bense (1995),
Stenostola ferrea is distributed in Bultic Republics; according to Alexandrovitch et al.
(1996) Stenostola presents in Belarus. I've got two males of S. dubia (sensu Bense) from
Vladimir Region (Kol'tchugino Distr., Zhuravlikha, on Salix caprea, 9.5.2001, Svetlov
leg.).

#369
One pair of Anaesthetis flavipilis (Barnaul env., Goretovskaia, 2.6.1901) is
preserved now (2001) in Zoological Museum (St.-Petersburg). According to the original
description, two syntypes were collected in Barnaul env. (10-13.6.1899 and 2.6.1901). The
species is very similar to A. confossicollis and differs only by yellow colour of
pubescence. Both Siberian species differs from A. testacea by big and scattered pronotal
punctuation.
Up to now A. flavipilis seems to be knowm only from type locality and was never
collected after original description.
The synonymisation of Breuning (1975): A. flavipilis = Mimosophronica strandiella
(which was described from Kuldzha) looks very doubtful.
All A. testacea from different parts of Caucasus (from Ciscaucasia to
Transcaucasia) differ from European specimens by longer pronotal pubescence and denser
pronotal punctuation. So they represent a separate subspecies, which can be named A. t.
rufescens Beckmann, 1903. The taxon was described as A. t. var. rufescens from Beshtau
Mt. (Stavropol Reg. of Russia near Piatigorsk) after specimens with reddish head,
antennae and legs. Such coloured specimens are not rare in A.t.rufescens, but normally
colored beetles with black head, legs and antennae are more numerous. Specimens from
certain populations in Transcaucasia (Megri environs in Armenia) have so long pronotal
pubescence that are close to A. lanuginosa. Similar specimens must be distributed in the
south part of A. testaceus Asian area.

#370
In Cenral Asian Republics Pilemia hirsutula seems to be represented only in
Turkmenia (as P.h.homoiesthes). In Kazakhstan it was recorded by Kostin (1973) for west,
center and south. I do not know the species from South Kazakhstan, but if it is really
distributed here, its subspecies attribution is uncertain.
According to personal communication (2001) of R.V. Filimonov, he collected
P.h.hirsutula in Aktiubinsk Region of Kazakhstan (7ex., Temir River Valley near
Pokrovskaia, 5.1999 on Phlomis tuberosa), as well as in Kurgan Reion of Russia (2ex.,
Ust-Uiskoe, 6.2000).

#371
The genus Turanium was revised by Danilevsky (2001e).

#372
The attribution of the name Stenocorus tataricus (Gebler, 1841), described as
Toxotus, to the species from Kirgizia and Uzbekistan by Plavilstshikov (1936) was wrong
(it was accepted by him after Reitter, 1907). In fact Toxotus tataricus was described
from: "deserto ad fl. Ajagus" (east Kazakhstan). S. "tataricus" sensu Reitter (1907,
1913) and Plavilstshikov (1936), totally absent in Kazakhstan, as it was already
mentioned by Kostin (1973). In fact under the names Toxotus tataricus and T. minutus
Gebler (1841: 375 - both descriptions in one page!) described big and small specimens of
one species. It is really distributed from Aiaguz River Valley to Tarbagatai Mountains,
Zaisan Lake Valley and Markakol Lake Valley (so very possible in neihbour China regions
and in Russian Altai). The type locality of T. minutus was not mentioned by Gebler, but
T. minutus also originated from east Kazakhstan, as all Gebler's desriptions of that
paper were based on Dr. Screnk's expedition (1840) materials "von Semipalatinsk aus in
die sudostliche Kirgisensteppe den Fluss Ajagus hinab zum See Balchasch, von da in die
sudosrlich um diesen See gelegenen Steppen und zu den sie begranzenden Gebirgen Alatau
und Tarbagatai :". I prefer to leave for this species the name Stenocorus minutus
(Gebl.), which was used for it by several authors (Plavilstshikov, 1936; Gressitt, 1951;
Kostin, 1973; Lobanov et al., 1981). So, S. minutus = S. tataricus. Big specimens of S.
minutus really have round elytral apices as it was mentioned by Gebler, while for small
specimens obliquely truncate apices are more usual. Males and females of S. minutus can
be totally black, or black with pale-brown elytra, or also with brown abdomen. Legs and
antennae from totally black to totally brown, often antennae apically as well as femora
and tibia are darkened.
Both Stenocorus taxa from Uzbekistan and Kirgizia are characterized by special
antennal structure with big and flattened joints. Sure this character was not mentioned
by Gebler for his T. tataricus and T. minutus.
Stenocorus "tataricus", sensu Plavilstshikov, is distributed in Fergana Valley
(Uzbekistan) and neihbour regions of Kirgizia: south slope of Chatkal Ridge (Sary-Chelek,
Sumsar) and SW slope of Fergana Ridge (Kara-Alma). This taxon most probably was described
as Toxotus validicornis Pic. The name was originally published without description (Pic,
1900), but with a short geographical data: "? Turk." and was attributed by Pic to Kraatz
(so the type can be preserved in Kraatz's collection). The description of T. validicornis
was published later (Pic, 1906), but without locality. According to the original
descripton it was sure one of two Central Asian taxa, becouse its antennae: "robustes,
plus grosses que chez les especes voisines, :". I preliminary attribute this name to the
taxon from Fergana, becouse its variation T. validicornis var. alaiensis Pic, 1906 was
described from Alai Mts.
Another Central Asian Stenocorus was described as Stenochorus (sic!) univittatus
Reitter, 1913 from "Taschkent, Ala-Tau". The taxon is very numerous on Chimgan Mt. (west
part of Chatkal Ridge in Uzbekistan). Rather special populations, which up to now are
regarded as S. univittatus, are known from Aksu-Dzhabagly Nat. Reserve (Kazakhstan) and
Karatau Ridge (Kazakhstan). I've got one specimen of S. univittatus from Kandara (Gissar
Ridge in Tadzhikistan).
The taxonomical status of S. validicornis and S. univittatus is not evident. In
general populations from near Fergana Valley are represented by specimens with a little
more dense elytral pubescence, and elytra are always uniformly colored (black or brown).
Specimens with longitudinal yellow elytral stripes are not known from the area. From the
other side specimens from Chimgan Mt. are very often unicolored, and sometimes are not
distinguishable from specimens from Sary-Chelek. So, now I prefer to regard both taxa as
subspecies. The populations from Karatau Ridge and from Aksu-Dzhabagly represent two
another subspecies. The attribution of Gissar population needs new mateials. I've also
got one totally black male with poorly pubescent elytra from the southmost point of
Fergana Ridge just from China border (Tar River), which subspecies attribution is also
not clear.
Toxotus tataricus Gebler, 1841 is the type species of Toxotochorus Reitter, 1907
(monobasic), but in fact it was wrong determination of Toxotus validicornis Pic, 1906:
"Toxotus tataricus Gebl., den ich wenigstens dafur halte, hat abweichend gebildete
Fuhler; sie sind namlich schon vom dritten Gliede an etwas abgeflacht und ihre au?eren
Apicalwinkel stumpfeckig vortretend. Ich errichte darauf die Sektion Toxotochorus nov."
So, according to the Article 70.3 of ICZN (1999) I regard T. validicornis Pic, 1906 as
the type species of Toxotochorus.
Toxotus turkestanicus Ganglbauer, 1889 described after 1 female: "aus Turkestan"
was regarded as a synonym of T. tataricus by Aurivillius (1912) and Gressitt (1951), that
was evidently wrong, because according to the original description: "Flugeldecken :, auf
Rucken mit 2 schwach erhabenen Langslinien." I accepted here the synonymysation of
