Remarks
#1 Some authors regarded Vesperus serranoi as a synonym of V.
conicicollis; according to Vives (2000) V. conicicollis = V.
baesuriensis.
#2 Prinobius was often regarded as a subgenus of Macrotoma.
#3 The tribe system of Lepturinae (with Rhamnusiini, Oxymirini,
Enoploderini and so on) is more or less agree with P.Svacha (1989 in
Svacha, Danilevsky, 1989) divisions, though P.Svacha joined Rhamnusium
and Enoploderes in one tribe. Rhamnusiini, Oxymirini and Enoploderini
were named by Danilevsky in "A Check-list :" (Althoff and
Danilevsky,1977).
#4 Rhamnusium gracilicorne and Rh. bicolor are often considered as
synonyms.
#5 Vadonia hirsuta was often considered as an individual variation of
V. unipunctata. It was regarded as a species by Panin, Savulescu
(1961), Althoff, Danilevsky (1997), Miroshnikov (1998: 407).
#6 We used (after C.Pesarini and A.Sabbadini, 1994) Leptura annularis
F., 1801 as a replacement name for L. arcuata Panzer, 1793 (not
Linnaeus, 1758).
The species was recorded for Andorra (Vives, 1984) and as
probable for other Pyrenees localities (Vives, 2000).
#7 G. Sama (1991) proposed to change the name Tetropium in the oldest
name Isarthron, ignoring Opinion No 1473 (1988) on the conservation of
Tetropium.
#8 The replacement names are used according to proposals by G. Sama
(1991).
According to A.Miroshnikov (personal communication of 2003),
Brullé (1832: 258) introduced: "Lamia (Morinus Serv. ined.) lugubris
Fabr." and "Lamia (Morinus Serv. ined.) funesta Fabr.", but in same
publication in "Errata": "Morinus, lisez Morimus". So the name Morimus
Brullé, 1832 must be used and proposal of G.Sama (1991: 126): "Morinus
Brullé, 1832 = Morimus Serville, 1835" can not be accepted.
E.Vives (2000) insists on Niphona Mulsant, 1839, instead of
Nyphona Dejean, 1835; according to G. Sama (1991) Nyphona Dejean,
1837.
Phymatoderus Dejean, 1937 is nomen nudum, so Phymatoderus
Reitter, 1912 = Reitteroderus Sama, 1991 (see Sama, 1999b).
#9 In North Europe Gracilia minuta and Nathrius brevipennis are not
native, but often imported with wickerwood articles.
Both were recorded for Ireland with question mark by M.Rejzek (2004).
#10 Taxonomy and distribution of Glaphyra are given according to G.
Sama (1995).
#11 The treating of western Xylosteus spinolae as a separate
subspecies was proposed by G. Sama (1993). The possible name of the
taxon could be X. s. rufiventris. Afterwards G.Sama (2002) regarded
the difference between eastern and western populations as covered by
individual variability. More over X. spinolae = X. rufiventris because
of same type locality.
#12 Specimens of Vadonia livida with vertical and radial directions of
pronotal pubescence are often mixed in one population, so we do not
regard P. livida m. pecta (J.Daniel et K.Daniel, 1891) as a
subspecies, as well as m. desbrochersi (Pic, 1891) which is also often
mixed with less tomented specimens.
#13 West European population of Cerambyx cerdo do not show distinct
differentiation on subspecies level, still many authors joint Pirenean
populations together with ssp. mirbecki described from North Africa
(see Vives, 1984), as well as French populations together with ssp.
pfisteri described from Sicily (see Villiers, 1978).
#14 Purpuricenus caucasicus was separated from P. budensis by A.
Miroshnikov (Danilevsky, Miroshnikov, 1985).
#15 Dubious records of Phymatodes lividus for several countries could
based on imported specimens.
#16 Records of Chlorophorus herbstii for NW Kazachstan (Plavilstshikov,
1940: 467) were connected with Ch. elaeagni (Kostin, 1973: 184).
#17 Old records of Dorcadion elegans for Hungary as well as possible
occurrence in Poland are not reliable.
#18 All specimens from the territory of the former USSR, identified as
Pogonocherus ovatus, in Plavilstshikov's collection in Moscow
Zoological Museum, were in fact P. decoratus. No P. ovatus from this
area are known to the authors, so all records we consider as doubtful
(we have not checked the collections of Litva, Latvia and Estonia).
#19 Many authors regard Pogonocherus taygetanus as a synonym or South
Greece subspecies of P. eugeniae.
#20 G. Sama (1994b) joined European representatives of Acanthoderini
in Nearctic genus Aegomorphus.
According to Monne (1994) the type species of Acanthoderes is
Lamia varia F.,1787 = A. clavipe (Schrank 1781) - designation of Bates
(1861), but not South 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.
G.Sama (1994) established species independence of Plagionotus
siculus and used Prinobius myardi Muls. as a replacement name for P.
scutellaris Germ., described as Prionus scutellaris Germ.(not Olivier,
1795).
#21 Stenostola alboscutellata was recently regarded (Bense, 1995) as a
synonym of S. dubia.
#22 Ropalopus fischeri was described from near Kharkov (East Ukraine),
and mentioned as a separate species from near Voronezh (Central
Russia) by G.V. Lindeman (1963).
#23 Xylotrechus asellus (= grumi) together with X. namanganensis
(Heyden, 1885) were separated in a new genus Turanoclytus Sama, 1994.
#24 The synonymisations: Agapanthia lederi = A. helianthi and Clytus
asellus = Xylotrechus grumi were introduced by M.Danilevsky (1992b).
Xylotrechus grumi was mentioned by I. S. Zakharchenko (1957) for
Transvolga region.
#25 Oberea taygetana was treated as a synonym of O. erythrocephala by
C. Demelt (1967).
#26 We are not sure if the forms of Chlorophorus sartor with twice
interrupted anterior elytral stripe from France and Italy really
represent a good subspecies, but the name "infensus" (Plavilstshikov,
1940) is not suitable for it (used by C.Pesarini and A. Sabbadini,
1994), because this name was proposed for a very rare individual
aberration from Caucasus.
#27 The common treatment of Spondylidinae as a separate subfamily
close to Aseminae is a taxomic error (see Svacha, Danilevsky, 1987).
#28 Phytoecia manicata, described from Syria, absent in Europe. All
records of this species from Europe due to Ph. pubescence, which is
not close to Ph. manicata and can be easily distinguished from the
later by the absence of spines on the male coxae (Danilevsky, 1993).
#29 Records of A. violacea were often connected with A. intermedia, so
the distributional data are provisional. A. intermedia was recorded
for France and Italy by G.Sama (2002).
#30 Lucasianus levaillanti was recorded for Spain and Portugal by J.
Plaza Lama (1990) and G. Sama (1992a).
#31 Agapanthia reyi was considered by some authors as a synonym of A.
annularis, or by others as a synonym of A. asphodeli (Sama, 1992). I
have accepted the last position after E.Vives (2000).
#32 According to G.Sama (1988a) Phytoecia rufipes must be absent in
Siberia and Central Asia, because of its monophagy on Foeniculum. Ph.
rufipes has continuous area from South Russia to Siberia and Central
Asia, were it was often collected by M. Danilevsky on Prangos. Before
(Althoff, Danilevsky, 1997) I regarded easten polulations of Ph.
rufipes as Ph. sibirica on the base of different food plant. I do not
see considerable morphological differences between specimens from West
Europe and Russia. According G.Sama (2002: 116) Ph. sibirica is a
species.
#33 G.Sama (1987) regarded Purpuricenus desfontainii inhumeralis as a
separate subspecies and mentioned the occurrence of P. d. desfontainii
on Crete.
#34 Shurmania was recently considered as a synonym of Alocerus
(Holzschuh, 1995).
#35 Purpuricenus caucasicus was treated as a separate species by A.
Miroshnikov (1984), but recently it was regarded as a subspecies of P.
budensis from Armenien Republic and Turkey (Sabbadini and Pesarini,
1992).
#36 Morimus ganglbaueri and M. funereus are often considered as
synonyms of Morimus asper. According to J.Simonetta (1989), all are
species. According to G.Sama (1988) all are subspecies. According to
G.Sama (2002), M. verecundus is also a subspecies of M. asper; Morimus
from European Turkey was accepted as M.orientalis.
#37 Phytoecia hispanica Br. was considered as a synonym of Ph.
coerulea by Gonzalez (1995b), as a synonym of Ph. erythrocnema by
Vives (2000) and as a synonym of Ph. malachitica by J. Sudre (2000),
that seems to be correct.
#38 Echinocerus scalaris (as well as Phoracantha semipunctata) was
mentioned for Spain by J. Plaza Lama et J. de Ferrer (1988).
#39 We include West Europe in the area of Tetrops gilvipes following
P. Berger (1985), though the distribution of this species in Europe
rests unclear.
C. Pesarini and A. Sabbadini (1994) regard that Tetrops gilvipes
(described from Transcaucasie) absent in West Europe, and black
Tetrops with pale legs from West Europe can be a separate species T.
nigra or a dark form of T. praeusta.
A series of T. gilvipes was collected in Rostov Region of South
Russia (Egorlykskaia, 13-14 05 2003) by D.Kasatkin (personal
communication, 2003).
#40 The subspecies rank of Agapanthia cardui pannonica was established
by J.M. Gutowski (1992) and accepted by Georgiev, Stojanova (2003).
#41 Siberian Anoplodera rufiventris (Gebler, 1830) absent in Europe.
The records of this species for Roumania (Kaszab, 1971; Pesarini,
Sabbadini, 1994) was based on wrong synonymisation: A. rufiventris =
Leptura nigroflava Fuss, 1852. Different authors proposed different
synonyms for L. nigroflava: Evodinellus borealis, Brachyta variabilis,
B. borni and so on, but in fact it is a very distinct species, as it
was accepted by Panin and Savulescu (1961: 143).
A.Miroshnikov (1998) accepted the supposition by P.Svacha
(1989)to regard two Palaearctic species of the group inside American
genus Xestoleptura: X. rufiventris and X. baeckmanni. Xestoleptura
nigroflava is the third Palaearctic species of the genus.
#42 The African species Chlorophorus pelletieri was mentioned for
France and Spain by Villiers (1946) after wrong determination Villiers
(1974a, 1978), as well as for Italy by G. Sama (1988) after S. de
Bertolini (1875, 1899), see G. Sama (1988). But recently (Pesarini and
Sabbadini, 1995) it was once more regarded as questionable member of
European fauna.
#43 G. Sama (1987) proposed to regard Grammoptera bipustulata as a
subspecies of G. auricollis and then (Sama, 1996) considered its
population from Creta as a separate subspecies G. a. basicornis.
#44 Phytoecia (Helladia) millefolii alziari Sama, 1992, described from
Cyprus and Turkey, was mentioned for Crete by C. Pesarini and A.
Sabbadini (1994).
#45 The original locality of Vesperus creticus is not clear (see
Bense, 1995: 470).
#46 G. Sama (1982) recorded Purpuricenus nanus Semenov, 1907 for
Greece due to the wrong label (Sama, 1996).
#47 The distribution of Stenopterus rufus geniculatus is shown
according to G. Sama (1995b).
#48 G. Sama (1996) regarded the name Clytus robertae as nomen nudum,
but we are not sure if it is really fitting to the conditions of the
Art. 15 of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature
(conditional proposition).
#49
According to G. Sama (1992b), Pedostrangalia consists of 3 subgenera
(Pedostrangalia, Sphenalia, Etorufus)
According to P.Svacha (Svacha, Danilevsky, 1989: 18, 131), Nakanea is a
subgenus of Pedostrangalia. In fact it can be included in Etorufus (according
to personal communication by Svacha, 2004).
Following G.Sama (2002) I accept Etorufus as a genus, that
totally agree with larval characters (personal communication by
Svacha, 2004). In fact the attribution to one taxon P. circaocularis
(Pic, 1934) [= P. variicornis (Matsushita, 1933, nec Dalman, 1817 ) -
type species of Etorufus] and P. pubescens seems to be doudtful, as
imagoes are rather different (structure of apical abdominal segments,
tarsi and so on).
The date of Pedostrangalia Sokolov (Horae Soc. Ent. Ross., v. 30, p. 461)
is different in different publications: it is 1896, according to
Plavilstshikov, 1936; Villiers, 1978; Sama, 2002 - or 1897, according to
Vives, 2000. According to I.M. Kerzhner (1984), only two first numbers of 30th
volum were published in 1836, but numbers 3-4 with pages 193-480 were
published in 1897.
#50 Evodinus clathratus and E. borealis were placed in different
subgenera by C. Pesarini and A. Sabbadini (1994).
According to P.Svacha (Svacha, Danlevsky, 1989), on the larval characters
Evodinus LeConte, 1850 = Evodinellus (used by G.Sama 2002, together with
Evodinellus = Brachytodes).
"I would prefer classifying borealis and clathratus in Evodinus (together
with the American species) and to keep Evodinellus and Brachytodes as
subgenera of Evodinus at most." - personal communication by P.Svacha, 2004.
#51 We tried to composed all species of D. (Pedestredorcadion) in
natural groups, but proposed order of species can't completely reflect
our point of view as several species rest unknown to us.
#52 Macroleptura thoracica was often regarded as a representative of
american genus Stenelytrana Gistl, 1848 (= Stenura Dejean, 1835; =
Megaleptura Chemsak, 1964,).
#53 The records of Mesoprionus besicanus for Crete seem to be based on
wrong determinations of M. batelkai (Slama, 1996).
#54 Purpuricenus caucasicus was recorded for Macedonia by M.Slama and
J. Slamova (1996) with question mark; later this population was
described as P. renyvonae.
#55 Stenopterus atricornis was recorded as a species for Greece
(Slama, Slamova, 1996).
#56 The synonymy Vadonia parnassensis (Pic) = V. aspoeckorum Holz. was
published by M.Slama and J.Slamova (1996).
V. aspoeckorum Holz. was restored by Pesarini and Sabbadini (2004)
#57 Anastrangalia dubia moreana was regarded as a Peloponnese
subspecies (Slama, Slamova, 1996).
#58 Several authors (for example M. Slama and J. Slamova, 1996) regard
Phymatodes pusillus barbipes as a good subspecies, but such separation
can not be considered as generally accepted.
#59 All records of Cortodera discolor Fairm. for Greece were connected
with wrong identification of recently described C. steineri Sama,
1997.
Cortodera discolor from SE Bulgaria [1 female: Karapelit w.,
Dobritsch, 11.5.2001, Bringmann; 1 female: 30km SE Burgas, Veselie,
16.5.2002, L.Schmidt; 2 males, 2 females: Vesseli bei Sozop,
16.5.2002, Bringmann; 9 males, 2 females: Slanchev Brjag, Emineberge,
auf Centaurea-blüte, 28.4.2001, G.Siering (including 4 black males); 1
male, Slanchev Brjag, auf Centaurea, 8.5.2000, G.Sierung] looks really
conspecific with C. discolor from its type locality (Turkey, Bosz-
Dagh). I've studied one female in good condition with the label
"Bosdagh" (Hungarian Museum of Ntural History, Budapest). The species
is undoubtedly represented in European Turkey.
Cortodera discolor could be conspecific with Cortodera colchica
(on the level of subspecies). At least Bulgarien Cortodera discolor is
also connected with Centaurea.
#60 Echinocerus andreui (Fuente, 1910) is revalidated by J.I. Lopez-
Colon (1997) as a species, but E.Vives (2000) regarded it as
subspecies of Echinocerus bobelayei (though in Plagionotus).
#61 According to S. V. Saluk (personal communication), Deilus fugax
(Oliv.) was found in Pripiat National Reserve. The species was
recorded for NW Kazakhstan (Embulatovka River) by Tsherepanov (1981).
#62 Pogonocherus decoratus was originally recorded for Bulgaria by
P.Angelov (1989), as well as Icosium tomentosum and Phytoecia
millefolii. According to S. V. Saluk (personal communication), several
specimens of Pogonocherus decoratus were reared by him from Pinus
pallasiana branches collected in Crimea near Gurzuf.
#63 In spite of G. Sama's opinion (1987), M. Slama (1997) insists on
the original treatment of Grammoptera bipustulata Steiner as separate
species.
#64 The records of Lepturalia nigripes rufipennis for Europe
(Adlbauer, 1990; Adlbauer, Egger, 1997) were based on single specimens
with reddish elytrae, which occasionally occur in all area of
nominative subspecies as well as specimens with yellowish elytrae are
spread over the area of L. n. rufipennis.
#65 Usually the name "Rhesus" attributed to Motschulsky was used for
the genus. But originally "Rhesus" was introduced for Prionus
serricollis Motsch. by J.Thomson (1860), non Lesson (1840).
#66 The subspecies structure of D. minutum Kraatz, 1873 is prepared
according to the opinion of Herr S. Steiner (private letter of
28.3.99).
According to S.Steiner (2003), D. pararenarium, D. nemeense, D.
mimarenarium, D. aeginasum. D. lamiae, D. amphissae are species.
Dorcadion peloponnesicum Breuning, 1982, described from
Megaspileon, (Peloponnese) was not mentioned in Steiner's article
(neither by Althoff, Danilevsky, 1997).
#67 A.I. Miroshnikov (1998) proposed a new classification of the species of
"Anoplodera complex", which being limited within the area (and after exclusion
of Corymbia as junior homonym)looks:
Genus: Lepturobosca Reitter, 1913
Subgenus: Lepturobosca Reitter, 1913
virens (Linnaeus, 1758)
Genus: Xestoleptura Casey, 1913
nigroflava (Fuss, 1852)
Genus: Anoplodera Mulsant, 1839
Subgenus: Anoplodera Mulsant, 1839
rufipes (Schaller, 1783)

Subgenus: Anoploderomorpha Pic 1901
cyanea (Gebler, 1832)
ssp. cyanea (Gebler, 1832)
Genus: Pseudovadonia Lobanov, Murzin et Danilevsky, 1981
livida (Fabricius, 1776)
Genus: Vadonia Mulsant, 1863
unipunctata (Fabricius, 1787)
hisuta (K.Daniel et J.Daniel, 1891)
insidiosa Holzschuh, 1984
aspoeckorum Holzschuh, 1975
bipunctata (Fabricius, 1781)

monostigma (Ganglbauer, 1881)
moesiaca (K.Daniel et J.Daniel, 1891)
bicolor (Redtenbacher, 1850)
Genus: Paracorymbia (Miroshnikov, 1998)
Subgenus: Paracorymbia (Miroshnikov, 1998)
fulva (Degeer, 1775)
tonsa (K.Daniel et J.Daniel, 1891)
hybrida (Rey, 1885)
picticornis (Reitter, 1885)
pallens (Brullé, 1832)
maculicornis (Degeer, 1775)
Subgenus: Batesiata Miroshnikov, 1998
tesserula (Charpentier, 1825)
Genus: Melanoleptura Miroshnikov, 1998
scutellata (Fabricius, 1781)
Genus: Stictoleptura Casey, 1924 (Corymbia, sensu Miroshnikov)
rubra (Linnaeus, 1758)
variicornis (Dalman, 1817)
fontenayi (Mulsant, 1839)
oblongomaculata (Buquet, 1840)
trisignata (Fairmaire, 1852)
erythroptera (Hagenbach, 1822)

cordigera (Fuesslins, 1775)
stragulata (Germar, 1824)
otini (Peyerimhoff, 1945)
Genus: Anastrangalia Casey 1924 ECKWSUI
sanguinolenta (Linnaeus, 1761)
dubia (Scopoli, 1763)
reyi (Heyden, 1889)
montana (Mulsant et Rey, 1863)
In general the whole system does not look to be argued good enough:
neither differential diagnosis, nor distinguishing key were proposed. Recently
two species of that system were moved to Stictoleptura (S. scutellata and S.
tesserula) by G. Sama (2002), and Melanoleptura and Batesiata were regarded as
synonyms of Stictoleptura. Now, until new arguments are published, I prefer to
accept both Sama's synonyms and regard Stictoleptura = Paracorymbia, as well
as Stictoleptura = Cribroleptura.
The current provisional position with big genus Stictoleptura was
supported by P.Svacha on the base of larval characters (personal
communication, 2004): "So possibly a broad undivided Stictoleptura is the best
solution for the moment, even if provisional." and "However, I would suggest
to keep only rubra and dichroa = succedanea in Aredolpona". He also supposed
that such a wide conception of Stictoleptura could be the reason to join it
with Brachyleptura.
The transform of Palaearctic Anoplodera rufiventris and A.
baeckmanni to Nearctic genus Xestoleptura by A.Miroshnikov (1998),
which was supposed before by Svacha (1989: 19), must be accepted.
According to E.Vives (2000) Corymbia Gozis, 1886 is a junior
homonym of Corymbia Walker, 1865 (described in Noctuidae, now in
Notodontidae). 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.).
#68 According to G.Sama (1995) Oplosia fennica (Paykull, 1800) was
described as Lamia fennica (nec L., 1758), and must be replaced by
Oplosia cinerea (Mulsant, 1839).
#69 I. lusitanicum mimomucidum (see Vives, 2000, 2001) was regarded as
a separate species (Serrano et al., 1997; Romero Samper, 2002).
#70 Molorchus umbellatarum was recorded for Norway by J. Skartveit
(1997).
#71 Dorcadion (I.) vanhoegaerdeni Breun. was regarded as a synonym of
I.(H.) heydeni (Vives, 1983, 2000) or as a species (Tome, 1997).
#72 Glaphyra marmottani was recorded for Spain by E. Vives (1997).
Glaphyra marmottani, Semanotus russicus and Acanthocinus
reticulates were recorded as new for Bulgaria by D.Doychev and G.
Georgiev (2004).
#73 According to P. Berger (1997), Iberodorcadion fuliginator
navarricum = I. fuliginator urgulli.
#74 Aegomorphus (as Acanthoderes) krueperi was recorded for Bulgaria
by Bringmann (1997). A. francottei was recorded for France by
Allemand, Brustel and Clary (2002).
#75 Strangalia attenuata was recorded for Spain by Perez M.I. et al.
(1997).
#76 Saperda similis was recorded for Estonia (Martin, 1991) and for
Bulgaria (Georgiev and Samuelian, 2000).
#77 Mesocerambyx Zahaikevitch, 1991 (nec Mesocerambyx Breun.et
Hitzinger, 1943) must be replaced. Mesocermabyx together with
Microcerambyx were regarded as synonyms of Cerambyx by E.Vives (2000)
and G.Sama (2002).
#78 Oberea linearis was recorded for Sardinia by C. Meloni (1987)
#79 Stictoleptura cordigera was recorded for Czechia by J.Vavra
(1996).
#80 Phytoecia algerica was recorded for Spain (Vives, 1996).
#81 Callidiellum rufipenne was recorded for Spain (Bahilo de la PUEBLA
et ITURRONDOBEITIA BILBAO, 1995).
#82 H.D. Bringmann (1995) recorded for Bulgaria Agapanthia lais, A.
osmanlis, A. frivaldskyi. A. osmalis was recorded for Hungary by
Kovacs (1997).
#83 Agapanthia leucaspis was recorded for Austria (Bohme, 1994).
#84 Glaphyra umbellatarum was recorded for Estonia (Milander, 1994).
#85 Chlorophorus varius was introduced to Sweden (Warmling, Ahnlund,
1994).
#86 Leioderes kollari was recorded for Switzerland (Scherler, 1993);
for Spain (Lenchina et al., 2004).
#87 Stenopterus mauritanicus was regarded (Bahillo de la Puebla, 1992)
as a subspecies of S. rufus.
#88 Tetrops starki was recorded for Great Britain (Harrison, 1992).
#89 Cortodera flavimana was recorded for Slovakia ("Hohe Tatra") by G.
Kremer (1992).
#90 Chlorophorus figuratus was recorded for Sardinia (Meloni, 1992).
#91 Asias halodendri was recorded for Albania (Muraj, 1960), Bulgaria
(Angelov, 1995)and Uktraine (Zahaikevitch, 1991: 79, 146) as A.
ephippium.
Now I preliminary divided A. halodendri (described from Irtysh
River in NE Kazakhstan and distributed from West Europe to Korea) into
several subspecies. A. h. ephippium (described from Terek River in NE
Caucasus) is distributed from W Europe to NW Kazakhstan.
#92 According to Suda, Milander (1998): Pidonia lurida, Anastrangalia
dubia, Monochamus sartor and Pogonocherus ovatus are absent in
Estonia. The presence of Anoplodera rufipes, Pachytodes
cerambyciformis, Cerambyx scopolii, Plagionotus arcuatus and
Stenostola dubia is rather doubtful.
Monochamus sartor was recorded for Latvia (Telnov et al., 2004).
According to E.Vives (2000) Anoplodera rufipes (Schaller, 1783)
was described as Leptura rufipes (not Goeze, 1777) and must be
replaced to A. krueperi (Ganglbauer, 1882). The change can not be
accepted according to the Article 23.9. of ICZN (1999).
N.N. Plavilstshikov (1936) could not distinguish Anastrangalia
dubia and A. reyi (=inexpectata), so his area of A. dubia (nearly
whole territory of European Russia) is wrong. A. dubia is definitely
distributed in West Ukraine and in Latvia (its presence in Lithuania
or in European part of Russia is not proved yet), as well as in
Caucasus with Ciscaucasia. It is absent in St.-Petersburg region
(Filimonov, Udalov, 2002) and most probably absent in Belorussiya (it
was recorded only for Polish part of Belovezha forest by O.
Aleksandrovitch et al., 1996).
In Caucasus and Turkey the species is represented by local
subspecies A. dubia distincta (accepted by G.Sama, 2002)
A. reyi is definitely known for the whole north half of the
European part of the former USSR, including whole Belorussiya and
Moscow Region. I've got some specimens from Miass (in south Urals) and
collected it personally near Juriuzan (in Cheliabinsk Region).
#93 Xylosteus caucasicola was recorded for European Turkey and
Cortodera umbripennis for Bulgaria (Sama, Rapuzzi, 1999).
I prefer now to regard C. umbripennis as a subspecies of C.
alpina (described from Daghestan). It is very probable, that the
record of C. umbripennis for Bulgaria was connected with very close
Cortodera khatchikovi Danilevsky, 2001.
All known Xylosteus taxa are definitely vicariant, and all could
be regarded as subspecies. According to G.Sama and P.Rapuzzi (1999),
the position of A.Miroshnikov (1998) to regard X.caucasicola as a very
distinct species was connected with the fact, that true X. spinolae
(from Roumania) was unknown to A.Miroshnikov, who compared Caucasian
X. caucasicola with western populations of X. spinoplae
(X.s.rufiventris?), while X. s. spinolae is much closer to X.
caucasicola.
In order to maintain these relations G.Sama and P.Rapuzzi (1999)
identified Xylosteus from European Turkey (as well as Xylosteus from
Bolu) as X. spinolae caucasicola.
After a description of Bolu Xylosteus as X. kadleci Miroshnikov,
2000 (the author also supposed the subspecies rank of his taxon) it
became impossible to leave the name "caucasicola" for the population
from European Turkey. Untill a new name for that population is
established I regard it as X. spinolae.
#94 According to G.Sama (1999b, 2002): Chlorophorus glabromaculatus is
a distinct species (absent in Austria).
Trichoferus holosericeus (Rossi, 1790) = T. cinereus (Villers, 1789),
described as Cerambyx, not Cerambyx cinereus De Geer, 1775. Ropalopus
varini Bedel, 1870 = Ropalopus spinicornis (Abeille, 1869), described
as Callidium, not Callidium spinicorne Olivier, 1795. Chlorophorus
pilosus and Morimus asper ganglbaueri are firstly recorded for Italy.
Saperda perforata is confirmed for Italy.
#95 According to personal comunication by D. Telnov (November 2000),
Cyrtoclytus capra was found in Latvia.
#96 It is necessary to accept the old point of view (Karpinsky, 1948)
- Alosterna ingrica is a separate species.
#97 Psilotarsus brachypterus hemipterus was recorded for Orenburg
(Russia) by Danilevsky (2000).
#98 Pseudosphegesthes cinerea, Isotomus speciosus and Phytoecia
scutellata were listed for Germany by Köhler and Klauznitzer (1998).
Isotomus speciosus was recorded for Switzerland and France (as well as
for Germany) by Allenspach (1973), but according to Sama (2002), it is
absent in all three countries.
I. speciosus was recorded for Slovenia (Vrezec, 2004).
#99 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. Severa other names can be
used: Mallodonitae Thomson, 1860; Stenodontines Lameere, 1902.
#100 According to Vives (2000), Macrotoma germari Dejean, 1835 is a
valid name.
#101 Meroscelisitae J.Thomson, 1860 (after Monne et Giesbert, 1993)
#102 According to Vives (2000) the correct names of the subfamily and
tribe are respectively Spondylidinae and Spondylidini. According to
P.Svacha (personal communication of 2002): "the first to realize that
Spondylidinae is the correct spelling (and, moreover, Spondylinae is a
homonym) was probably Silfverberg in the 1992 edition of Enumeratio
Coleopterorum Fennoscandiae and Daniae, and that info was introduced
to broad coleopterist attention by Lawrence and Newton in the overview
of beetle families and subfamilies published 1995 in the memorial
volume to Crowson's 80th birthday."
#103 The presence of Phoracantha recurva in Spain was recorded by Luiz
et Barranco (1998).
#104 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 Articles 23.9.1. and
23.9.5 of ICZN (1999).
#105 Hesperophanes, Deroplia, Anaesthetis, Stenostola and Exocentrus
are attributed by E.Vives (2000) to Dejean, 1835, as well as
Purpuricenus globulicollis to Dejean, 1839; Stenocorus to Geoffroy,
1762; Vesperus, Purpuricenus and Parmena to Dejean, 1821; Opsilia to
Mulsant, 1862; O. malachitica to Mulsant, 1846; Phytoecia erythrocnema
to Lucas, 1846; Oberea to Mulsant, 1835.
According to P. Téocchi (2003), the name Deroplia Dejean, 1835 is
not available, because among two names placed by Dejean in Deroplia
both were not available: marginicollis Dahl - nomen nudum and genei
Chevrolat (not Aragona, 1830) also could be regarded as nomen nudum,
as Chevrolat did not described such name). The attribution of his
genei to Chevrolat was repeated by Dejean in his next edition (1937),
so it was not lapsus calami. The valid name of the genus is Stenidea
Mulsant, 1843.
#106 Tetropium fuscum was recorded for Spain (Sanchez, Tolosa, 1999)
based on wrong determination of Asemum tenuicorne (Vives, 2000).
#107 E.Vives (2000) paid attention to the female gender of
Calchaenesthes.
#108 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).
#109. I. (H.) mosqueruelense var. pseudomolitor is regarded as a
species (Gonzalez et al., 2000; 2001).
#110 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)
#111 The name "Plagionotus marcorum" was used instead of Plagionotus
marcae ("An incorrect original spelling" according to the Art. 32d
(ICZN, 1985) by J.I. López-Colón (1998)
#112 Two genera Rhagium and Rhamnusium were separated by E.Vives
(2000) in a small tribe Rhagiini, while other genera (including
Oxymirus) are grouped in tribe "Toxotini", though the name Toxotus is
a synonym of Stenocorus.
#113 According to A.Miroshnikov (1998: 596) the correct name of
African subspecies of Stictoleptura scutellata is S. s. melas (Lucas,
1849), but not generally accepted (Aurivillius, 1912; Winkler, 1929;
Villiers, 1946; Sama, 1988; Vives, 1994; Althoff, Danilevsky, 1997) -
melaena (Lucas, 1849). E.Vives (2000) accepted S.s.melas, but another
dated: Lucas, 1846 (?), as well as G.Sama (2002), who stated on the
absence of Stictoleptura s. melas in Spain.
#114 According to A.Villiers (1978) - Leptura otini Peyerimhoff, 1945;
according to E.Vives (2000) - Leptura otini Peyerimhoff, 1949.
#115 Judolia sexmaculata was recorded for Andorra (Vives, 1984) and as
probable for other Pyrenees localities (Vives, 2000).
#116 Following E.Vives (2000) I accept the spelling Stenurella
approximans; before it was spelled "aproximans" (Vives, 1984; Bense,
1995).
#117 Vesperus bolivari Oliveira, 1893 (Vives, 2000) was previously
attributed to Paulino, 1893 (Vives, 1984) - evidently same author.
#118 According to E.Vives (2000) Carinatodorcadion is a junior synonym
of Dorcadodium.
#119 According to E.Vives (2000) Iberodorcadion fuliginator
meridionale = I. f. navarricum. A.Villiers (1978) regarded both as
different.
#120 According to E.Vives (2000) Iberodorcadion fuliginator
meridionale = I. loarrense Berger, 1997. According to J. Romero Samper
(2002), it is a species. Until my own opinion will be formed I've
placed this name among subspecies of I.fuliginator.
#121 According to E.Vives (2000), Iberodorcadion seoanei kricheldorffi
= I. lainzgalloi Rodrigues-Gracia, 1996. Until my own opinion will be
formed I've placed this name among subspecies of I. seoanei.
#122 According to E.Vives (2000), the status of D. (Iberodorcadion)
ceballosi Breuning, 1948 is "incertae sedis". Before (Vives, 1984) it
was regarded as a synonym of I. iserni.
#123 According to E. Vives (2000), I. coelloi is a subspecies of I.
mucidum; according to Romero Samper (2002) - species.
#124 According to E. Vives (2000), I. nigrosparsum Verdugo, 1993 (the
name was introduced by M.Pic 1941 as a variation) is a synonym of I.
mucidum annulicorne. According to Romero Samper (2002)and Verdugo
(2003) - species.
#125 A new synonym - Iberodorcadion seguntianum = Dorcadion (I.)
ruspolii Breuning, 1974 was independently proposed by two authors:
M.Tomé (1999) and then E.Vives (2000) and accepted by Romero Samper
(2002). Until my own opinion will be formed I regard it as a
subspecies of I. seguntianum.
#126 A separate (according to M.Tomé, 1999, that was accepted by
Vives, 2000) species Iberodorcadion (H.) becerrae was previously
(Vives, 1983, 1984) regarded as a subspecies of I. seguntianum.
#127 According to M.Tome (1999), Dorcadion (Iberodorcadion) becerrae
pulvipenne morph. parterreductum Breuning 1976 is a synonym of
Iberodorcadion (H.) seguntianum.
Dorcadion (Iberodorcadion) turdetanum morph. superdenudatum;
Breuning 1967 is a synonym of Iberodorcadion (Hispanodorcadion)
seguntianum.
Both names (partereductum and superdenudatum) were missed by E.
Vives (2000).
#128 According to E.Vives (2000, 2001), Iberodorcadion (H.) marinae is
a subspecies of I. albicans, according to Romero Samper (2002) -
species.
According to E.Vives (2000) I. ghiliani includes three subspecies:
nominative, I. gh. ortunoi and I. gh. cercedillanum; I. perezi and I.
hispanicum (with two subspecies: nominative and I.h.nudipenne) are
species. According to Vives (2001), I. p. ghilini is a subspecies of
I. perezi, as well as I.p. hispanicum and I. p. ortunoi; the names
"cercedillanum" and "nudipenne" were omitted. The name "cercedillanum"
was not used by J. Romero Samper (2002), but "nudipenne" was regarded
as a variation (without subspecies attribution?).
#129 According to E.Vives (2000), Parmena pubescens breuningi Vives,
1979 is a subspecies of P. solieri. According to A. Vives (2001) it is
a species.
#130 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
#131 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).
#132 According to E.Vives, the date of Pityphilus Mulsant is 1862.
#133 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)
#134 According to E.Vives, the date of Pogonocherus caroli Mulsant is
1862.
#135 The tribe Rhodopinini seems to be composed of only one genus
Rhodopina close to Lamiini. According to Linsley et Chemsak (1985),
the tribe Desmiphorini (the name accepted by Vives, 2000), is very
special and limited by American species. Other genera usually included
in tribe Apodasyini are also not relatives.
#136 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. I prefer now to regard Saperda s.l.
consisting of several subgenera including Lopezcolonia (replacing name
for Argalia Mulsant, 1862 not Gray, 1846). Lopezcolonia was regarded
as a genus (Vives, 2000), or (Vives, 2001) as a subgenus of Saperda.
#137 Asemum tenuicorne was recorded for Spain by E.Vives (2000b).
#138 According to G.Sama (1999c), Dorcadion olympicum=D.obsoletum.
According to S.Steiner (2003), D. obsoletum is a species.
#139 Chlorophorus trifasciatus was recorded for Sardinia by Meloni
(1999); for Austria by Bense (1995); according to G.Sama (2002) absent
in Austria.
#140 Arhopalus syriacus, Oxypleurus nodieri and Pyrrhidium sanguineum
were reported for sardinia by B.Colonna B.(1999).
#141 Acmaeops marginatus, Akimerus schaefferi, Stictoleptura
erythroptera, Obrium brunneum, Tetropium castaneum were recorded for
Greece by P.Berger (2000). According to G.Sama (2002), Stictoleptura
erythroptera absent in Italy, as well as S. trisignata.
Acmaeops marginatus was recorded for South Russia (Rostov region:
Oblivskaia, Donleskhoz) by D.Kasatkin and Ju.Arzanov (1997).
#142 Rhagium inquisitor was recorded for Sicily by C. Baviera (1999),
for Crimea by Bartenev (1989) and for Ireland (with question mark) by
M.Rejzek (2004).
I regard three more species (Rh. bifasciatum, mordax and sycophanta)
as very possible for Crimea.
Rh. sycophanta was wrongly recorded for Great Britain and Ireland by
Althoff and Danilevsky, 1997.
Rh. sycophanta was recorded for Sicily (Baviera, Sparacio, 2004).
#143 Callidium aeneum was recorded for Netherlands by J.G.M. Cuppen
(1999).
#144 Nathrius berlandi was recorded for Spain by M.Slama et A. Simon
Sorli (2001).
#145 According to Hernandez (2000) and Romero Samper (2002), I. perezi
includes ssp. ghiliani, ssp. ortunoi and ssp. hispanicum.
#146 According to E.Vives (2001), Parmena cruciata Pic, 1912 is a
species, which was wrongly identified in Spain before (Vives, 2000)
as P. pubescens algirica; the latter taxon absent in Spain. Earlier
(Vives, 2000)P. cruciata was regarded as a synonym of P. pubescens
s.str.
#147 Saperda perforata was recorded for Spain by Sanchez (2000) as a
member of subgenus Lopezcolonia.
#148 According to A.Verdugo (2001), I. mus (Ros., 1856) = I.
grisescens (Esc., 1900) = I. andalusiacum (Br., 1962).
According to A. del Saz Fucho (2004), I. andalusiacum is a species
(?), I. isernii = I. ceballosi, I. abulense = I. puncticolle, I.
spinolae = I. basigranosum.
#149 Xylotrechus antilope var. sekerai Podany, 1970 was described from
Petrovac (Sutamore), Jugoslavie. The name is infrasubspecific
according to the Article 45.6.3 of ICZN (1999) as "varietas" described
after 1960. Paulian (1986) regarded "sekerai" as a subspecies
distributed in Corsica. This case is not connected with the Article
45.6.4.1, because that Article concerns only names, which are
infrasubspecific by the Article 45.6.4. So the author of the
subspecies X. a. ssp. sekerai is Paulian, 1986, and type locality of
it is Corsica.
X. antilope ab. lentoi Paulian, 1979 (described from Corsica) is
also infrasubspecific name. But in 1986 Paulian established new
synonymy: X. antilope sekerai = X. antilope lentoi, that made the name
"lentoi" valid. So now: X. antiliope ssp. sekerai Paulian, 1986 =
X.a.lentoi Paulian, 1986.
A.Paulian (1986) recorded for Corsica: A. gibbosus and Parmena
balteus.
According to G.Sama (personal communication, 2003), Parmena
bulteus is impossible for Corsica.
#150 According to Kovacs and Hegyessy (1997): Cortodera holosericea
was collected on Centaurea triumfettii (imagoes and larvae);
Agapanthya maculicornis was collected on Campanula glomerata;
Xylotrechus pantherinus was regarded as Rusticoclytus.
#151 According to Ziarko (1993), the records of Stictoleptura fulva
and Molorchus kiesenwetteri (and some other species) for Poland were
based on wrong identifications of other species. S. fulva absent in
Poland, the occurrence of M.kiesenwetteri is rather doubtful.
#152 The system of Cortodera species close to C. reitteri and C.
ruthena was revised by Danilevsky (2001ab).
#153 The date of Dorcadion glicyrrhizae (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.
The occurrence of D. glycyrrhizae glycyrrhizae in Russia is
rather doubtful. From Volgograd environs to Kazakhstan border and
northwards to Saratov Region D. g. striatum is distributed (so
Plavilstshikov's data for Saratov and Orenburg Regions were sure
wrong). D. g. glycyrrhizae can occur only in Astrakhan Region in sands
eastwards Volga.
The type locality of D. g. striatum is "South Urals". In fact
several rather different populations of D. glycyrrhizae (includindg
D.g.dubianskii) are known from South Urals. I accepted as typical the
population from the southmost point of Orenburg Region from the valley
of Shybyndy River (15 males and 4 females: Sol-Iletsk District, 25km
southwards Pokrovka, 24-27.5.2002, L.Korzhikov leg.). It consists of
rather big specimens with totally red tibiae, femora and several basal
antennal joints; frons is also usually red; female androchromal. Such
specimens are very close to D.g. striatum from Saratov and Volgograd
Regions (with neihbour localities in Kazakhstan: Dzhanybek env.).
I preliminary attribute to D. g. striatum several populations of
small beetles from middle part of Ural River Valley (right European
bank) in Kazakhstan (eastwards Ural-city in Bykovka River Valley and
Ianvartzevo env.) and near Kalinovka (about 120km westwards
Aktiubinsk).
#154 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 ardoisé, a net reflet métallique." 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.).
According to U.Bense (1995), only Stenostola ferrea is
distributed in Great Britain; according to M.Rejzek (2004) - only
Stenostla dubia.
According to T. Clayhills (2002), all specimens of Stenostola
from Finland have been considered to belong to S. ferrea. However, it
seems obvious that this is due to former misidentifications and the
species occurring in Finland is S. dubia. The differences between the
two taxa are discussed, though their status as separate species seems
somewhat dubious.
#155 According to Kusama and Takakuwa (1984), Xylotrechus = Xyloclytus
= Rusticoclytus.
#156 Brachypteroma ottomanun was recorded for Switzerland by Ch.
Germann (2000).
#157 According to J.Sudre (2000): Phytoecia (Pilemia) hirsutula
(Froelich 1793) = Oxylia androsensis Breuning, 1963 = Phytoecia
(Blepisanis) ciliciae Breuning, 1951 = Phytoecia (Rubrophytoecia)
moreana Breuning, 1943; Phytoecia malachitica (Lucas 1849) = Phytoecia
hispanica Breuning 1951
#158 According to D.Kasatkin (personal communications, 2000-2002), in
Rostov Region (South Russia)Cortodera pumila was collected near
Krasnyi Sulin and Phytoecia (H.) millefollii was collected near
Persianovka (1.05.2001 D.Gapon leg.).
#159 The description of D. litigiosum otshakovi Suv., 1913 from near
Kherson, was connected with local D. pusillum. Possibly all records of
D. litigiosum for Moldavia and Ukraine were connected with very
numerous in the region D. pusillum.
#160 Cornumutilla quadrivittata was recorded for Moravia (Czechia)
both by Heyrovsky (1955) and Slama (1998).
#161 Leiopus femoratus was recorded for Rostov Region of Russia
(Kasatkin, Arzanov, 1997), for Italy (Rapuzzi, 2002), for France
(Berger, 1999).
#162 The spelling "sieversi" was used in the original description.
Breuning(1975) used wrong spelling: "siewersi".
The species was recorded for Crimea by Zahaikevitch (1991: 153).
#163 The traditional (Aurivillius, 1912; Plavilstshikov, 1940;
Heyrovsky, 1967; Althoff, Danilevsky, 1997) combination Paraclytus
luteofasciatus (because of small elytral tubercles) seems to be not
good enough. The species looks to be more close to Anaglyptus (Bense,
1995).
#164 The generic differences between Megopis and Aegosoma is generally
accepted (Villiers, 1978; Sama, 1988).
#165 Enoploderes sanguineum was recorded for Rostov Region of Russia
by A.Miroshnikov (2000). Pyrenoploderes Hayashi, 1960 was regarded as
a subgenus of Enoploderes.
#166 The published type locality of Certallum ebulinum is France. But
the species description was based on black-pronotum specimen. Such
specimens are known from Spain as very rare and seem to be possible in
France (Villiers, 1978: "Seule la morpha ruficolle SEMBLE se
rencontrer en France, :"). Such situation caused the supposition of
wrong definition of type locality by Linnaeus (Villier, 1978; Sama,
1988). G.Sama (1988: 83) supposed the real locality of type specimen
in North Africa and accepted Certallum ebulinum ssp. ruficolle
(described from Italy) distributed from Iberian Peninsula to Caucasus
and Iran. But I do not see the base for such supposition. The type
specimen could really be collected in Europe and then C. ebulinum = C.
ruficolle.
#167 Kasatkin (1999) recorded for Crimea: Dorcadion pedestre (Mt.
Chatyr-Dag) and Semanotus russicus (Ialta). Semanotus russicus was
also mentioned by Zahaikevitch (1991: 70).
#168 Cerambyx hieroglyphicus Pallas, 1773 was described from
"Siberia". The taxon was accepted as easten subspecies by Breuning
(1952: 177) and Gressitt (1951: 554). It is characterized by
constantly blue colour of pale pubescence. It is agree with my
specimens from Tuva and Russian Primorie Region.
The subspecies was recorded for "Lappland" by Breuning (1952), so
can be distributed in North of the European part of Russia, as well as
in Norway, Sweden and Finland; and for "Nordeuropa" by Heyrovsky
(1973).
#169 Ph. pustulata from Kazakhstan and from SE Russia is sometimes
without red pronotal spot, and body is covered with very long dense
white pubescence. Such specimens (m. pulla) from Kazakhstnan and
Uzbekistan (Karatau Ridge, Chatkal Ridge, Chu-Ili Mts and eastwards to
Semipalatinsk) were described as Ph. kryzhanovskii and must be
regarded as Ph. p. ssp. pulla. The subspecies was accepted by
Heyrovsky (1958) for Astrakhan env. In my collection Ph.p.pulla is
represented by a syntype (male) from Karatau, male from Dzhungarsky
Alatau, male from Sary-Chelek (Kirgizia) and a male from Chechnia
(Caucasus). Some Kazakhstan and Kirgizian populations can not be
attributed to Ph.p.pulla, being rather typical Ph.p.pustulata (Bishkek
env., Kalbinsky Ridge).
#170 According to A.Miroshnikov (personal communication of 2003),
Brullé (1832: 258) introduced: "Lamia (Morinus Serv. ined.) lugubris
Fabr." and "Lamia (Morinus Serv. ined.) funesta Fabr.", but in same
publication in "Errata": "Morinus, lisez Morimus". So the name Morimus
Brullé, 1832 must be used and proposal of G.Sama (1991: 126): "Morinus
Brullé, 1832 = Morimus Serville, 1835" can not be accepterd.
#171 A.Miroshnikov (1998: 392), affirmed, that E. Reitter's "Fauna
Germanica. Die Käfer des Deutschen Reiches. 64. Familie: Cerambycidae"
was published in 1913 (and not in 1912 as it is generally accepted).
So, according to his personal communication (2003), several names must
be dated 1913:
Xylosteina [Xylosteini] Reitter, 1913: 5.
Megarhagium Reitter, 1913: 6 [Rhagium subgen.].
Lepturobosca Reitter, 1913: 17.
Lepturalia Reitter, 1913: 20.
Callidostola Reitter, 1913: 37 [Callidium subgen.].
Phymatoderus Reitter, 1913: 39 [Phymatodes subgen.
Phymatodes (Poecilium) alnoides Reitter, 1913: 40 [Ph.(P.) alni ssp.].
Phymatodellus Reitter, 1913: 40 [Phymatodes subgen.].
Hesperandrius Reitter, 1913: 44-45 (syn. pro Trichoferus Wollaston, 1854).
Xyloclytus Reitter, 1913: 46 [Xylotrechus subgen.].
Pseudosphegesthes Reitter, 1912: 50.
#172 According to A.Miroshnikov (personal communication, 2003),
Ganglbauer's "Bestimmungs-Tabellen der europäischen Coleopteren. VII.
Cerambycidae" and "Bestimmungs-Tabellen der europäischen Coleopteren.
VIII. Cerambycidae" were first published in "Verhandlungen der k. k.
zoologisch-botanischen Gesellschaft in Wien", 1881 (Bd. XXXI, S. 681-
757, Taf. XXII) and 1883 (Bd. XXXIII, S. 437-586).
Then same works were published as separata in 1882 [S. 3(681)-
79(757), Taf. XXII] and 1884 [S. 3(437)-152(586)] that caused a big
confusion in subsequent citations.
Here are several important names from original publications by Ganglbauer
(1881, 1883):
Ganglbauer, 1881:
Cyrtoclytus: 688, 736.
Cortodera pumila: 710.
Icosium tomentosum atticum: 743.
Ropalopus lederi: 747.
Ganglbauer, 1883:
Neodorcadion: 437, 508.
Dorcadion hybridum: 441. D. corcyricum: 453. D. krueperi: 453. D.
oertzeni (syn. pro D. parnassi Kraatz): 454. D. litigiosum: 454. D.
granigerum: 458. D. transsilvanicum: 462. D. korbi: 469. D. funestum:
501.
Pogonocherus plasoni: 526.
Exocentrus stierlini: 530.
Leiopus pachymerus (syn pro L. femoratus Fairmaire): 532.
Agapanthia lateralis: 541. A. dahli sicula: 541. A. lederi: 542. A.
intermedia: 543. A. daurica: 544. A. frivaldszkyi: 546.
Phytoecia bithynensis: 573. Ph. affinis tuerki: 575.
#173 According to Miroshnikov (personal communication, 2003) the
original description of Exocentrus stierlini was published two times
in 1883: "Verhandlungen der k. k. zoologisch-botanischen Gesellschaft
in Wien",Bd. XXXIII: 530 and in "Wiener Entomologische Zeitung", II.
Helf. 12. S. 298-299. Taf. IV, Fig. 3.
According to "Verh. zool.-bot. Ges. Wien" the type locality is
"Deutschland, Oesterreich", according to "Wien. Entom. Ztg." -the type
locality is "Europa media".
#174 According to A.Miroshnikov (personal communication of 2003), the
original spelling is Phytoecia bithynensis. It can not be accepted, as
"bithyniensis" is "in prevailing usage" according to the Article
33.33.1 of ICZN.
#175 According to A.Miroshnikov (personal communication of 2003), the
separata of Jakowleff's article "Nouvelles espèces du genre Dorcadion
Dalm." from "Horae Soc. Ent. Ross."(t. XXXIV, p. 59-70) were
distributed in May 1899. So, Jakowleff (1899) is the author of:
Dorcadion ciscaucasicum: 1(59).
#176 The record of Ph. (Cardoria) scutellata for Ukraine
(Zahaikevitch,1991: 151) was missed in our list (Althoff, Danilevsky,
1997), as well as the record of Oxylia argentata for Crimea (Bartenev,
1989).
#177 The introduction (followed with morphological description) of the
name "Phytoecia subannulipes" by Pic, 1910 ("Cette espèce décrite de
Syrie:") was undoubtedly a wrong spelling of Ph. subannularis Pic,
1901, which was really "décrite de Syrie". It was repeated in form
"Phytoecia subannulipes" once more (Pic, 1911: 9). But later M.Pic
(1915) declared that Ph. subannulipes is a Roumanien variation of Ph.
subannularis.
Then Breuning (1951: 375) accepted the name Ph. subannularis m.
subannulipes as "Variété insignifiante", without special area, but
with a differencial diagnosis. The species was not included in
Roumanien fauna by Panin and Savulescu (1961).
Then Breuning (1966: 753) recorded Ph. annularis for Turkey and
mentioned "m. subannulipes" for Roumania.
Recently Althoff and Danilevsky (1997) accepted Ph. annularis
ssp. annulipes for Roumania.
According to G.Sama (personal communication, 2003), the records
of the taxon for Roumania had to be connected with Ph. icterica.
#178 According to G. Sama (personal communication, 2003): "All species
of Lucas 1849 (Expl. scient. Algerie) must be dated 1846. The book was
really dated 1849, but all the part dealing with Coleoptera was in
fact printed and distributed in 1846 (Horn & Schenkling, index
Literaturae Entomologicae)".
#179. According to G.Sama (personal communication, 2003), the records
of Parmena balteus and Axinopalpis gracilis (that one was connected
with wrong data by Demelt, 1969, who made for Corsica one more wrong
record - Lampropterus femoratus) for Corsica by Bense (1995) were
wrong, as well as the data of Cerambyx nodulosus for Spain. The doubts
with Demelt's data were published by G.Sama (1988: 74). Demelt's data
on L. femoratus for Corsica were accepted by Villiers (1978: 292), but
not accepted by Bense (1995). According to G.Sama (2002), the author
of Axinopalpis is Dejean (1835); before (Sama, 1988) - Axinopalpis
Duponchel et Chevrolat, 1842.
#180. As it was written to me by G.Sama (personal communication,
2003): "Semenov (1914) introduced Asias a new name replacing
Anoplistes Serville, 1833 not Westwood, 1831 (Diptera). I was able to
consult Neave (Nomenclator Zoologicus, 1939, 1: 216); according to it,
Anoplistes was described by Westwood only in 1835 (Anoplistes
Westwood, 1835, London & Edinb., Phil. Mag., 3(6) (34): 280). This is
confirmed by Horn & Schenkling, 1929 (Index Litteraturae
Entomologicae, series 1, band 4: 1312) where any Westwood's paper
dealing with Diptera is listed in 1831, while is confirmed for 1835
the description of "Insectorum novorum exoticorum". Phillos. Mag. (3),
6: 280-281"
So, the name Anoplistes Serville, 1833 is valid.
#181. The occurrence of Dorcadion politum in European Russia was
supposed by me (Althoff, Danilevsky, 1997) on the base of a single
male with a label: "Orenburg, 30.4.1963". Now the occurrence of D.
politum in Orenburg Region is proven by a series from the Asian part
of Orenburg Region (5 males: Sol-Iletsk District, 25km southwards
Pokrovka, 24-27.5.2002, L.Korzhikov leg.). My supposition of the
species for European part of Kazakhstan was evidently wrong.
#182. Callimus angulatus was recorded for Ukraine by Zahaikevitch (1991: 85).
#183. Ropalopus femoratus was recorded for Central Russia by Althoff
and Danilevsky (1997) without any comments. The species was recorded
for SW of USSR by Plavilstshikov (1965) and was mentioned by
Zahaikevitch (1991).
#184. I've got two specimens of Phytoecia uncinata from Moldavia.
According to G.Sama (2002), absent in Italy.
#185. Dorcadion pusillum tanaiticum was described from South Russia
(Rostov-on-Don environs)by D.Kasatkin (2002). The author also proposed
to regard D. p. var. berladense Pic, 1903 described from Romania as a
local subspecies.
#186. Xylotrechus stebbingi was recorded for Greek mainland
(Teunissen, 2002).
#187. Monochamus g. galloprovincillis was recorded for Sicily
(Bellavista, 2001).
#188. I do not know the description of D. meteorum Breun. May be it
was never published? If so we have to accept the description of
"allotype" and D. meteorum m. leucosuturale Breun., 1969
(Boll.Ent.Ass.Rom., 24,1969: 42, from Kalabaka, reg. Meteores), as the
original description of the species.
#189. Neoclytus acuminatus was recorded for Hungary (Szeoke and
Hegyi,2002).
#190. Stromatium unicolor was introduced in Germany (Weigel, 1999) and
possibly in Latvia - it was recorded (Telnov et al., 2004) from near
Jurmala (45km from Riga).
#191. Xylotrechus pantherinus was recorded for France (Peru and
Leblanccal, 2000)
#192. Calamobius filum was recorded for Belgium (Rouard, 2001). Now I
do not remember my reasons to mention the species for Poland (Althoff,
Danilevsky, 1997). I've excluded Poland from the area of C.filum,
until I find the corresponding note.
#193. D. (Maculatodorcadion) "jansensi Heyr." was recorded for Greece
by C.Pesarini and Sabbadini (1994: 119). If it is D. (M.) janssensi
Breuning, 1966, which was described after one male from "Anatolie,
Nord-East,Tatos Daghlari, 2000 m, 20-V-1965, leg E. Janssens" then it
looks impossible for Greece. I do not know any reliable record for
Europe.
#194. According to Vives (2000, 2001), I. ferdinandi is
I.(Baeticodorcadion), but according to Romero Samper (2002), it is
I.(Hispanodorcadion).
#195. A.Villiers (1978) treated Iberodorcadion (= Baeticodorcadion =
Hispanodorcadion) as a subgenus of Dorcadion. Such position was
recently supported by M.Tomé (2002).
#196. According to A.Verdugo (2003), I. mucidum = I. annulicorne.
#197.According to G.Sama (2002):
Prinobius myardi = P. proksi
Cortodera holosericea = Cortodera velutina; the species supposed for
North Greece.
Cortodera villosa = ? Cortodera nigrita
Stictoleptura Casey, 1924 = Corymbia = Melanoleptura = Batesiata.
Oxypleurus nodieri = O. pinicola (Canary Islans)
Callidium = Callidostola = Palaeocallidium
Poecilium = Phymatoderus = Phymatodellus = Paraphymatodes
Plagionotus = Echinocerus
Dorcadion pedestre = Dorcadion kaszabi
Mesosa = Aphelocnemia
Pogonocherus = Eupogonocherus = Pityphilus
Saperda = Anaerea = Compsidia = Argalia = Lopezcolonia
Ph. (O.) molybdaena = Ph. (O.) longitarsis
#198. G.Sama (2002) supposed Leptura saucia, described from Crimea,
(he evidently did not see the type) to be a synonym of Vadonia
bipunctata mulsantiana. In the case of the real synonymy the name
"saucia" is not valid because the name "mulsantiana" is in "prevailing
usage" according to the Art. 23.9.1 (ICZN, 1999).
#199. According to G. Sama (2002): Agapanthia cardui = A. pannonica,
as he supposed, that the type of A.cardui belongs to the "northern
phenotype", while the oldest name for the "southern phenoptype" must
be A. suturalis (Fabricius, 1787).
G. Sama (2002) did not recognized the taxonomic status of these
two "phenotypes". According to him both occur in the type locality of
A. cardui (Montpellier in South France). As far as we accept this
fact, two "phenotypes" can represent two different species, or (much
more probable in my opinion) just two different morphological forms
corresponding with two different subspecies (northern and southern)
and distributed near Montpellier (together with all intermediate
forms) as it is a transitional zone between two subspecies. I do not
know the situation in South France, but in Caucasus two taxa are
really connected by a raw of transitional forms and so are real
subspecies.
So, as far as population from near Montpellier is a transitional
between two subspecies, I propose to regard it conditionally as
northern subspecies in order to save A. pannonica Krat. as a valid
name and maintain the stability of nomenclature. So, two subspecies of
A. cardui exist: northern - A. cardui cardui and southern - A. cardui
pannonica.
If anybody accept the position of G.Sama (2002):
cardui=pannonica, then norther subspecies must be named A. cardui
cardui and sothern subspecies - A. cardui suturalis (or both can be
regarded as different species).
Anyway after that publication (Sama, 2002) nobody can be sure
which taxon is connected with the name A.cardui, if it is used without
further comments.
#200. According to private communication by M.Rejzek (15.10.2004):
"Ergates faber was really described in 1761 and published in Fauna Svecia
(not in Systema Naturae, ed. 12, as written by many authors such as
Aurivillius in Catalogus coleopterorum, Plavilstshikov (1936) or Villiers
(1978). If you have a look at Systema Naturae ed. 12: 622, you will see that
Linnaeus himself refers to "Fn. Svec.". Bily & Mehl (Fauna Scandinavica)
already wrote 1761."
G.Sama (2002) accepted Ergates faber ssp. opifex (described from
Africa) for Sicily and Calabria.
#201. Carilia virginea (as Gaurotes), Cortodera aspromontana, Pidonia
lurida, Parmena unifasciata, Pogonocherus hispidulus, Acanthocinus
henschii, Saperda octopunctata were recorded for Greece; all records
of C. humeralis for Greece were connected with C. aspromontana (Sama,
2002).
#202. Grammoptera ruficornis ssp. flavipes seems to be accepted for
Sicily by G.Sama (2002).
#203. Paracorymbia oblongomaculata (as Stictoleptura) was regarded as
possible for Corsica (Sama, 2002).
#204. G.Sama (2002) supposed Stictoleptura simplonica to be a species,
and another supposition: "Paracorymbia maculicornis ondreji : could be
identical to P. simplonica or belong to it as a subspecies."
A new combination: Pararacorymbia simplonica ondreji was published by
Pesarini and Sabbadini (2004).
#205 Clytus tropicus was recorded for Italy (Althoff, Danilevsky,
1997) on the base of general considerations. According to G.Sama
(2002), Clytus tropicus absent in Italy.
#206. According to S.Sama (2002), Carinatodorcadion must be regarded
as a genus on the base of endophallus structure; Pedestredorcadion is
also treated as a genus because it is "sufficiently different" from
Dorcadion s.str. From the other hand, Neodorcadion, Iberodorcadion,
Hispanodorcadion and Baeticodorcadion are declared so close to
Pedestredorcadion (because of the structure of a membrane between
labrum and clypeus), that do not merit even subgeneric level. The new
synonymy was not proposed until "a complete revision".
#207.
According to G.Sama (2002), Dorcadion fulvum absent in Germany.
The species was recorded for Easten Germany by Plavilstshikov (1958).
Dorcadion aethiops absent in Italy, Germany, Switzerland and
Poland. Still, it was recorded for Switzerland by Plavilstshikov
(1958) and Allenspach (1973), for Poland by Burakowski et al. (1990),
for Germany by Plavilstshikov (1958), for Italy by Bertolini (1899,
after Sama, 1988). The the specis was recorded as possible for Greece
by S.Steiner (2003).
#208. According to G.Sama (2002): Agapanthiola is a genus; Agapanthia
sicula is a species; A. sicula malmerendii was supposed for Spain.
Agapanthiola was accepted as genus once more (as stat.n.) by
C.Pesarini and A. Sabbadini (2004).
#209. According to Sama (1988. 2002), Morimus funereus and M.
verecundus are subspecies of M. asper.
#210. On the base of indirect arguments (Svacha's opinion, that it can not be
M. sartor, as it was proposed by Breuning, 1961, because M.sartor absent in
the region) without type study G.Sama (2002) proposed to regard Monochamus
rosenmuelleri = M. usussovi. According to Plavilstshikov (1958), M. sutor = M.
rosenmuelleri, and M. sutor is very common in the region. Such name change of
one of the most important forest and wood pest can not be regarded as
necessary and may cose a greate harm to the international forest protection
system and wood industry.
#211. G.Sama (2002) supposed Caucasian Phytoecia icterica is not Ph.
icterica, but "different closely related species".
#212. Oberea pedemontana koniensis Breuning, 1960 was described from
Turkey.
#213. Oberea maculicollis was "apparently collected in France (Berger,
pers. comm.)" (Sama, 2002).
#214. The attribution of Tetrops to Kirby (1826) by many authors was
wrong (see Vives, 2000). Tetrops Kirby, 1826 was described for Lamia
tornator F., 1775 (= Cerambyx tetrophthalmus Forster, 1771) - now in
Tetraopes.
#215. Paraclytus sexguttatus was recorded for Bulgaria by Georgiev and
Stojanova (2003), as well as Agapanthia cardui cardui (together with
A.c.pannonica).
#216. Cortodera kiesenwetteri subtruncata was originally described by
M.Pic (1934: 19) as variation and so valuable, but not by N.N.
Plavilstshikov (1936) as aberration, as it was wrongly declared by
M.Danilevsky (2001b). So the author of the subspecies is M.Pic.
#217. Alosterna bicoloripes Pic, 1914 was described from Rhodos on the
base of a male with black femora ("les cuisses plus or moins noires").
The taxon was recorded for Turkey (Lodos, 1998), for "Ýstanbul"
(Demelt, 1962) as a species, then for "Ýzmir/Efes" (Demelt, 1963), as
A. tabacicolor ssp. bicoloripes. If the corresponding populations are
really characterized by dark femora, then they must be regarded at
least as a subspecies. So, until new data I can not accept the
position of G.Sama (2002): A.tabacicolor = A. bicoloripes.
A. bicoloripes was regarded as a species by C.Pesarini and A.Sabbadini
(2004).
#218. According to personal communication of I.K. Zahaikevitch (1982),
he identified Vadonia bisignata from near Kishinev. Vadonia bisignata
was also mentioned by I.K. Zahaikevitch (1991: 148). 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.
#219. "Clytus arietis gazella F." was recorded for Artvin (Turkey) by
G.Sama (1982). According to personal communication by G.Sama (2004),
the name was introduced by Fabricius for a colour form (black femurs)
of Clytus arietis from "Kiliae = Kiel" and does not represent a
separate taxon.
#220. Dorcadion regulare was recorded for Bulgaria by Althoff and
Danilevsky (1997: 32) most probably on on the base of general
considerations, as it was recorded for Adrianopol (=Edirne) by
Breuning (1962: 328) - about only 15km from Bulgarien border.
#221. The area of Vadonia dojranensis was mistakenly mentioned as "BG"
(Bulgaria) by Althoff and Danilevsky (1997: 12), as it was described
from Macedonia. I've got a pair from Bulgaria with label: "Bulgaria
mer., Kresna, VI.1982 Strba leg."
#222. Ph. (O.) molybdaena was recorded for Bulgaria by G.Georgiev et
al. (2002).
#223. The record of Dorcadion arenarium for Bulgaria (Althoff,
Danilevsky, 1997) was just a misprint - not a single subspecies was
mentioned here for Bulgaria. According to Burakowsky et al. (1990),
old records of the species for Poland (Weigel, 1806; Hildt, 1917) are
doubtful.
#224. According to my materials both subspecies of Ph. (Musaria)
affinis are represented in Bulgaria: Ph.a.affinis in west Bulgaria
(Lozenska Planina) and Ph.a.tuerki in south-east (Kiten). According to
the last locality, Ph.a.tuerki is undoubtedly represented in European
Turky.
#225. The morphology of everted and inflated Dorcadionini endophallus
is described and figured by Danilevsky et al. (2004) on the base of
dry constant samples of 127 species and subspecies of four genera:
Neodorcadion, Eodorcadion, Iberodorcadion and Dorcadion of all
subgenera. The homology of different endophallus parts is established.
The original terminology is proposed. All genera and subgenera of
Dorcadionini are clearly delimited on the base of endophallic
structures. New compositions of Dorcadion (s. str.) is proposed. The
phylogenetic relations inside the tribe are discussed. A key for 4
genera and all subgenera is proposed on the base of endophallic
characters.
According to Danilevsky et al. (2004):
The unique taxonomical position of D. (Politodorcadion) is
demonstrated; possible generic level (close to Eodorcadion) of the
taxon is supposed.
Dorcadion (s. str.) = D. (Compsodorcadion); D. (Cribridorcadion)
= D. (Pedestredorcadion), syn. n
D. sareptanum euxinum Suvorov, stat. n. = D. kubanicum Plav.,
syn.n.
#226
The relations between Politodorcadion and Eodorcadion was shown
by Danilevsky et al. (2004). Now I prefer to regard Politotorcadion as
a genus.
#227
D. euxinum was described from near Novorossiisk. N.N. Plavilstshikov
accepted the area of his D. kubanicum eastwards to about Armavir. In my
collection it is also represented by much more easten localities: Stavropol
environs, Erken-Shakhar in Karachaevo-Cherkessia, Tyrnyauz in Kabardino-
Balkaria, Piatigorsk environs. I also attribute to this taxon several
populations from Rostov Region, which are represented in my collection: 70km S
Roston-on-Don and Orlovsky environs (about 70km S Volgodonsk - northwards
Manych Depression, and so in Europe).
D. sareptanum (described from Volgograd) was known to Plavilstshikov
eastwards to about Emba river in Kazakhstan.
In fact the difference between D. sareptanum and D. euxinum is very small
and sometimes totally absent. In general legs and antennae of D. sareptanum
must be lighter (reddish), but in fact the colour of Volgograd specimens is
about same as in Ciscaucasian speciemens. Now I prefer to regard both taxons
as subspecies.

G.Sama (2002) recorded Phytoecia nigricornis for the south of
European Russia. It is an evident mistake. The species is distributed
also in central and north part of European Russia (Althoff and
Danilevsky, 1997). I've got several specimens from near Moscow.
Filimonov and Udalov (2002) recorded it for St.-Petersburg Region.
According to Cherepanov (1985) the species is distributed in Siberia
to about Altai Mts and Ob River, but I've got specimens from near
Krasnoiarsk (!) - Enisei River valley.
#229
I preliminary regard the species described as Phytoecia nausicae
Reizek et Kakiopoulos, 2004 as Conizonia. The authors attribute their
species to "a homogenous" group, which also includes Ph. behen Sama et
Rejzek, 1999 (from NE Turkey) and Ph. nepheloides Sama, 1997 (from
Syria) similar to Piliemia, Coptosia and Conizonia.
#230
Anastrangali reyi was recorded for Roumania (Dascalu, 2003);
Theophilea subcylindricollis was collected in Roumania (personal
communication of Maria-Magdalena Dascalu, 2004).
#231
According to the personal communication (2004) by D.Kasatkin, "European
and Mediterranean Plant Protection Organization" (EPPO) many times recorded
Anoplophora glabripennis from France and Germany.
According to S.S. Izhevsky (2004): "In Austria the trees infested by the
species are still observed after the first discover of the population in 2001.
114 specimens were collected from 68 trees. The life cycle requires here 2
years."
The introduction of Anoplophora glabripennis and A. chinensis in
Europe was described by Ch. Cocquempot et al. (2003).
#232
Rutpela was described in 1957. G.Sama (2002: 39) listed it as being in
the volume of 1957, but published in 1959, but other genera from same article
(Aredolpona, Macroleptura) he attributed to 1957.
#233
According to P.Svacha (Svacha, Danlevsky, 1989), on the larval characters
of Carilia and Paragaurotes, "it has been found intirely possible to treat the
latter two , and particularly Paragaurotes, as subgenera of Gaurotes." The
position was partly used by G. Sama (2002).
#234
According to G.Sama (2002), the original description of Callidium
punctatum Fabricius, 1798 refers to Ropalopus femoratus, so Callidium
muricatum Dalman, 1817 is valid.
#235
According to G.Sama (2002), Strangalina was established as a replacement
name for Strangalia Serv., 1835 and so has same type species (Leptura
luteicornis). But in fact it was istablished as a replacement name for
Strangalia Lacord., 1869. Its type species is Leptura attenuata Linnaeus,
1758.
G.Sama attributed the type designation of Leptura attenuata for
Strangalina to Bily and Mehl, 1989. But it was done much before (see
Plavilstshikov, 1936: 457). I have not seen Lacordaire's publication -
possibly his Strangalia includes only one species?
#236
According to P.Svacha (Svacha, Danlevsky, 1989), Gnathacmaeops is
a subgenus of Acmaeops and futher: "it is incorrect to include all
Palaearctic species under Gnathacmaeops (Cherepanov, 1979)", as well
to include Acmaeops septentrionis under Gnathacmaeops (Hayashi, 1980).
According to G.Sama, Acmaeops = Gnathacmaeops.
#237
Phytoecia geniculata was recorded for Bulagria by Althoff,
Danilevsky (1997), but no collecting data were published. The species
was recorded as new for Bulgaria by Kantardjhiewa-Minkowa (1932: 81;
1934: 144) without collecting data and then by E.Migliaccio,
G.Georgiev and P. Mirchev (2004) for Vitosha Mountain.
#238
Four species were recorded from Samos Is. (Greece) as new for
Europe by D.Dauber (2004): Trichoferus kotschyi GANGLBAUER 1883,
Pedostrangalia verticenigra PIC 1892, Chlorophorus convexifrons
HOLZSCHUH 1981 and Chlorophorus nivipictus KRAATZ 1779.
#239
Acanthocinus griseus was recorded for Belgium by N. WARZEE and A.
DRUMONT (2004).
#240
Dinoptera collaris and Clytus arietis were recorded for Ireland
by U.Bense (1995) and ignored by M.Rejzek (2004).
#241
According to M.Rejzek (2004), Lepturobosca virens is extinct in
Great Britain, as well as Obrium cantharinum, Cerambyx scopolii and
probably Strangalia attenuata.
#242
Cerambyx cerdo was wrongly recorded for Great Britain by Althoff,
Danilevsky, 1997, as well as Xylotrechus antilope and Plagionotus
detritus for Great Britain and Ireland.
#243
Hylotrupes bajulus and Tetrops praeustus were recorded for
Ireland by M.Rejzek (2004), as well as Leiopus nebulosus for Great
Britain and Ireland.
#244
Plagionotus arcuatus was recorded with question mark for Great
Britain by M.Rejzek (2004), as well as Acanthocinus aedilis for
Ireland.
#245
S.Steiner (2003) listed as possible for Greece: Neodorcadion
laqueatum, Dorcadion macedonicum, D. glabriscapus, D. albanicum, D.
condensatum, D. ferruginipes, D. valonense, D. minkovae, D. sturmi, D.
balthasari, D. laevepunctatum, D. maderi, D. sterbai, D. ingeae.
#246
According to S.Steiner (2003), Dorcadion buresi was not collected
after original description. I know a series (including 2 females in my
collection): "GR Macedonia, Lekani/Kavala, 200m, 18.6.1992, N. Etcnti
leg."
#247
S.Steiner (2003) recorded for Greece:
Dorcadion purkynei from Greek part of Kaimackalan (Oros Voras), 2100m;
D. borisi from near Florina;
D. heyrovskyi from Aokion Mts near Vlasti, 900-1500m and from Askion
Mts.;
D. kaimakcalanum from Greek part of Kaimackalan (Oros Voras), 1900m;
D. punctipenne from Alexandroupolis and Kavala;
#248
According to S.Steiner (2003), D. atritarse is a species.
#249
According to A.Miroshnikov (2004), Cerambyx miles Bonelli was
described in 1812, but not in 1823, as it is generally accepted [see
Plavilstshikov, 1940; Sama, 2002].
#250
According to C.Pesarini & A.Sabbadini (2004):
Dorcadion (Bergerianum), Subgen.nov., type-species Dorcadion
chrysochroum;
Dorcadion brenskei Ganglbauer, 1883 = Dorcadion aeginasum = D.
nemeense;
Dorcadion eugeniae emgei Ganglbauer, 1885, comb.n.;
Dorcadion eugeniae eugeniae Ganglbauer,1885 = Dorcadion arcadicum
Breuning, 1947;
Dorcadion peleponesium Pic,1902 = Dorcadion subjunctum Pic, 1904 =
Dorcadion-weiratheri Pic, 1929;
Dorcadion (Pedestredorcadion) stephaniae, sp.nov. (Greece, Achaia, Mt.
Erimanthos);
Dorcadion accola Heyden, 1894 = Dorcadion glabrolineatum Pic, 1927.
Untill endophallus study, I prefer to regard D. (Cribridorcadion)
= D. (Bergerianum)
#251
Phymatodes alni alnoides was described by Reitter (1913: 40).
G.Sama (2002: 74) wrongly attributed the description of the taxon to
"Stark, 1889".
G.Sama (2002) wrongly mentioned Goeze [Johann August Ephraim,
1731-1793] as an author of Purpuricenus budensis (Götz) [Georg
Friedrich, 1750-1813] and Anisorus quercus (Götz).
#252
According to A.Miroshnikov (personal message, 2005), Chlorophorus
sartor was described in Cerambyx [see Villiers,1978; Vives, 2000] but
not in Leptura, as it was wrongly mentioned by N.N. Plavilstshikov
(1940) or G.Sama (2002).

Agapanthiola was already regarded as genus by G.Sama (2002).
I preliminary prefer to regard as subgenera all other divisions.
Several mistakes of the system are evident from the first view:
A.korostelevi is just a Caucasian vicariant of A.maculicornis, and can
be regarded as its subspecies, so it must be included in A.
(Homoblephara), as well as A. davidi and most probably A. fallax. Any
way A. davidi and A. fallax have no connections with other
"Smaragdula".
#254
According to Sama (1994): Plagionotus = Echinocerus. In fact both are
separate genera, that was recently proved on the base of endofallic characters
(Kasatkin, 2005).
According to Burakovski et al. (1990) Echinocerus Muls.,1863 is a junior
homonym of Echinocerus White, 1848 (Crustacea). A replacement name is
Paraplagionotus Kasatkin, 2005.
A new genus Neoplagionotus (type species: Clytus bobelayei Brulle, 1832)
was described on the base of endophallic characters.
#255
According to the position of several authors (Monné et Giesbert,
1993; Vives, 2000), Purpuricenini must be included in a very large
tribe Trachyderini (see also Fragoso, Monné, Campos-Seabra, 1987).
According to D.Kasatkin (personal message, 2005), such position is
well agree with endophallus structure and the structure of internal
female genital organs.
