- Abstract
The fundamental value of universal nomenclatural systems in biology is that they enable unambiguous scientific communication. However, the stability of these systems is threatened by recent discussions asking for a fairer nomenclature, raising the possibility of bulk revision processes for "inappropriate" names. It is evident that such proposals come from very deep feelings, but we show how they can irreparably damage the foundation of biological communication and, in turn, the sciences that depend on it. There are four essential consequences of objective codes of nomenclature: universality, stability, neutrality, and transculturality. These codes provide fair and impartial guides to the principles governing biological nomenclature and allow unambiguous universal communication in biology. Accordingly, no subjective proposals should be allowed to undermine them.

Genus Anaches Pascoe, 1865 Anaches Pascoe, 1865: 160. Type species: Sthenias dorsalis Pascoe, 1858, by original designation. Remarks. The genus can be divided into two species group by the elytral bands. The “wide banded” species group recently includes four valid species, A. dorsalis (Pascoe, 1858), A. medioalbus (Breuning, 1956), A. murzini (Lazarev, 2020), and A. wenhsini Holzschuh & Lin, 2013. They share the common characters: 1) the whitish pubescent part on elytra nearly or even more than half of elytra length in lateral view; 2) the greyish parts within the pubescent band form two bands, separated by a white pubescent polyline. In this paper, we do not try to solve this “ dorsalis ” species group except the new synonyms. Anaches cylindricus (Gressitt, 1939) neither belong to this species group, nor belong to the following species group which includes the new species. This species resembles to species of the subgenus Albosthenias Breuning, 1961 of the genus Sthenias Dejean, 1835. It won’t be discussed in this paper either. The new species belongs to the “narrow banded” species group, which includes three species, A. albaninus (Gressitt, 1942), A. m-signatus sp. nov., and A. yitingi Holzschuh & Lin, 2013. They share the common characters: 1) the whitish pubescent part on elytra much less than half of elytra length in lateral view, only nearly one third or even less than one third; 2) the greyish parts within the pubescent band form only one transverse band. In this paper, we describe one new species, and make additional descriptions of the male genitalia of the other three species.

Anaches m-signatus Lin & Weigel sp. nov. (Figs. 1–3, 9, 12–13) Description. Male (Figs. 1–2). Length 9.9–12.0 mm, width 3.0–3.6 mm. Body more than 3 times as long as wide; integument black brown to black; surface of head, pronotum, elytra, femora and ventral surface densely covered with short recumbent pubescence, mostly brown or greyish white. Scape with fine recumbent short brown or white pubescence, all antennomeres provided with long brown setae sparsely at ventral side, and sparser toward apical segments. Antennomeres III to XI provided with a whitish basal ring. Occiput, pronotum, basal third and apical fourth of elytra mostly brownish, with some blackish and whitish spots. Elytra with a distinct whitish transverse band near middle, narrowed towards elytral suture, with grayish parts in middle. The anterior margins of the whitish bands on two elytra together form “V”-shaped (Figs. 1a, 2a, 3a). The posterior margin of the whitish band on each elytron forms “m”-shaped (Fig. 3a). Legs with femora and tibiae mostly clothed with grayish pubescence with many black spots; dorsum of tarsal segments densely clothed with fine recumbent black brown or whitish pubescence. Ventral surface of thorax similar to pronotum, metasternum with more grayish pubescence, similar to ventral side of femora. Abdominal sternites (Fig. 1c) mostly clothed with grayish to brownish pubescence except the apical margin of sternite III and the sexual setal patches on sternite IV covered with golden brown long sexual setae (Figs. 1c, 9a, 9b). Head slightly narrower than pronotum. Labrum trapezoidal with rounded angles, covered with golden yellow setae at margin, maxillary palpi brown, apical palpomere conical. Inferior eye lobe slightly longer than gena below it. Antenna with last three segments surpassing elytral apex; relative lengths of segments from base to apex: 15: 4: 20: 19: 18: 18: 18: 17: 17: 16: 16. Pronotum wider than long, 1.2 times as width as long; disc with clear basal and distal transverse grooves (Figs. 1a, 2a) and a middle longitudinal groove (Fig. 2b). Prosternal process moderately constricted between procoxae, then steeply declined toward dilated apex. Procoxal cavities completely closed. Elytra ca. 2.2 times as long as wide, parallel sided before apical tenth, then roundly narrowed to truncated apices; inner angles and outer angles are obtuse. Apical margin of sternite VII curved. Apex of hind femur reaching middle of abdominal sternite V. Female (Figs. 3a–3c). Length 10.2–11.8 mm, width 3.1–3.6 mm. Female is identical to male, with antenna slightly shorter, with last two segments surpassing elytral apex and abdominal sternites quite different. Unlike the male, female abdominal sternites (Fig. 3c) covered with grayish pubescence intermixed by many black spots, without any golden brown long sexual setae. Male terminalia (Figs. 12–13). Tegmen length about 2.0 mm; lateral lobes rather straightly tapered from middle to narrowly rounded apices, each about 0.4 mm long and 0.2 mm wide; median lobe plus median struts slightly curved, subequal to tegmen in length; median struts shorter than half of whole median lobe in length; apex of ventral plate weakly projected (Fig. 13a); median foramen elongate; internal sac with two hook-shaped sclerites (Figs. 13b, 13c). Tergite VIII (Figs. 12a & 12c) trapezoidal, apex truncated with round angles, provided with medium long setae along apical and lateral sides. Diagnosis. This new species belongs to the “narrow banded” species group. It is mostly similar to A. yitingi Holzschuh & Lin, 2013, but can be easily distinguished from it by the following features: the whitish band wider; the anterior margins of the whitish bands “V”-shaped, instead of “U”-shaped; the posterior margin of the whitish band forms “m”-shaped, instead of an oblique line; the apex of tergite VIII truncated, not slightly emarginated; the apex of ventral plate of median lobe not as shaped as that of A. yitingi. Etymology. This species is named after the m-shaped macula margin (Fig. 3a, in the red rectangle) on each elytron. Distribution. China: Zhejiang Province, Hunan Province, Guangxi Province. Type specimens examined. Holotype, 1 ♂, Guangxi Province, Longsheng County, Maoershan (广OiAEüDz 儿山), 2011-VI-3, leg. Xin-Lei Huang (ëadz) (IZCAS, IOZ (E) 2224561). 9 Paratypes: 1 ♂, Guangxi Province, Jinxiu County, Dayaoshan, Gubao (广Oiŵħkä山古保), 850m, 2021-IV-09, leg. J. T.

Remarks. This new species is quite similar to Desisa pterolophioides Gressitt from Fujian, China (Gressitt, 1942a) (now in the genus Macropraonetha Breuning, 1961) by color and pubescence pattern, but can be separated from it by the elytron with one tubercle with tufted hairs before basal one fifth, the elytral apex truncated instead of narrow rounded, and the anterior and posterior margins of white band on elytra with different shapes., Published as part of Lin, Mei-Ying & Weigel, Andreas, 2022, A study on the genus Anaches Pascoe, 1865 (Coleoptera, Cerambycidae, Lamiinae Pteropliini), with a new species and two new synonyms, pp. 123-132 in Zootaxa 5133 (1) on pages 124-126, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5133.1.6, http://zenodo.org/record/6521516, {"references":["Holzschuh, C. & Lin, Y. - L.

Tegmen length about 2.0 mm; lateral lobes rather straightly tapered from middle to narrowly rounded apices, each about 0.4 mm long and 0.2 mm wide; median lobe plus median struts slightly curved, slightly longer than tegmen in length; median struts shorter than half of whole median lobe in length; apex of ventral plate strongly projected (Fig. 15a); median foramen elongate; internal sac with 2 hook-shaped sclerites (Figs. 15b, 15c). Tergite VIII (Figs. 14a & 14c) trapezoidal, apex slightly emarginated with round angles, provided with medium long setae along apical and lateral sides. Diagnosis. This species is mostly similar to A. albaninus (Gressitt, 1942), but can be easily distinguished from it by the following features: the whitish band more oblique; the anterior margins of the whitish bands “U”-shaped, instead of slightly oblique line; the sexual patches on sternite IV closer to each other (Figs. 10a, 10b), instead of well separated (Figs. 11a, 11b); the apex of tergite VIII emarginated (Figs. 14a, 14c), instead of rounded (Figs. 16a, 16c); the apex of ventral plate of median lobe projected (Fig. 15a), instead of pointed (Fig. 17a).

Anaches medioalbus (Breuning, 1956) (Figs. 18–21) Paramesosella medioalba Breuning, 1956: 234. Sthenias semicylindricus Hayashi, 1974: 45. syn. nov. Paramesosella medioalba; Löbl & Smetana, 2010: 316; Lin & Yang, 2019: 369; Danilevsky, 2020: 453. Anaches semicylindricus: Holzschuh & Lin, 2013: 152; Lin & Yang, 2019: 362; Danilevsky, 2020: 449; Lin & Lazarev, 2021: 74. Sthenias (s. str.) murzini Lazarev, 2020: 57, figs. 1-3. syn. nov. Anaches medioalbus: Lin & Lazarev, 2021: 73. Anaches murzini: Lin & Lazarev, 2021: 74. Remarks. According to the type pictures of Sthenias semicylindricus Hayashi, 1974 (Figs. 20-21), it is similar to A. medioalbus (Breuning, 1956) (Figs. 18-19), by the body shape, elytral apex shape, antennal segments, main pubescence maculae on elytra, with differences on irregular grayish white spots over pronotum and elytra. However, the pair of type specimens were obviously rubbed, which was the reason of lacking the white spots. Compared with a fresh specimen from Taiwan (Fig. 7 by Holzschuh & Lin 2013) and specimens from Fujian (Fig. 19), we cannot find differences between the two taxa, so we propose the synonymy. This is agreed by Carolus Holzschuh (personal communication). However, Wen-Xuan Bi proposes a more complicated opinion, that all the records of A. dorsalis from Mainland China were misidentifications, and all of them, including the Anaches medioalbus from Fujian, should be Anaches albonotatus Pic, 1932. We agreed with Wen-Xuan Bi that the specimens in IZCAS we examined are not the true A. dorsalis and we re-identify them as A. medioalbus (Breuning, 1956) in this paper. To clarity the true identity of A. albonotatus described from northern Vietnam (Tonkin) it needs more study. Holzschuh (2021) synonymized Sthenias murzini Lazarev, 2020 with Sthenias dorsalis Pascoe, 1858, which is the type species of the genus Anaches Pascoe, 1865. However, Anachus murzini (Lazarev, 2020) is not a synonym of A. dorsalis (Pascoe, 1858), because it is much closer to A. medioalbus (Breuning, 1956) than to A. dorsalis (Pascoe, 1858), which has been misunderstood for a long time. The true A. dorsalis (Pascoe, 1858) is endemic to India and nearby. We understood that the “ A. dorsalis ” in Holzschuh (2021) is infact A. medioalbus in this paper, and we agreed with him on the variations of elytral maculae and the shape of elytral apex both are infrasubspecific features, therefore we synonymized A. murzini (Lazarev, 2020) with A. medioalbus (Breuning, 1956) herein.

Head with mandibles, frons, genae and vertex moderately covered with fine pale yellow pubescence. Antennae with scape, pedicel and the base of antennomere III to V vaguely covered with similarly colored pubescence, which gives the entire antennae a uniformly darkened appearance. Pronotum mostly covered with similarly colored pubescence as head but denser, except for the tip of lateral spine, a discal median short line and two small spots at sides of the former line which are glabrous. Scutellum covered with the same pubescence as pronotum. Elytra predominantly covered with dense pale pubescence, plus some dark golden colored pubescence forming irregular pattern over the whole elytron. Ventral surface and legs covered with moderately dense yellowish pubescence, relatively denser on posterior margin of prosternum, entire metanepisternum, posterior margin of metaventrite and anterior margin of abdominal ventrite I. Body elongate. Head slightly wider than pronotal base; moderately large, protruding toward sides near the lower eye lobe in front view, thence gradually convergent anteriorly; lower eye lobe 0.9 times as long as gena; frons ca. 1.7 times wider than high, with a fine median groove extending from anterior margin to occiput; vertex moderately concave, with prominent antennal insertions. Antennae ca. 1.9 times as long as body length, with apical 5 antennomeres surpassing elytral apices; antennomere III 1.4 times as long as scape, slightly longer than IV, antennomere IV to X gradually decreasing in length and width, antennomere X slightly longer than XI. Pronotum cylindrical, more than 0.8 times as long as the basal width; lateral spines conical with sharply pointed apex, slightly curved backwards; disk smooth, weakly convex, provided with an indistinct postmedian callus and two lateral calli slightly behind the middle; with a few setigerous punctures at both sides of the postmedian callus and behind the lateral spines. Scutellum subequal in length and width, broadly rounded posteriorly. Elytra elongate, widest across humeri, ca. 1.7 times as wide as pronotal base, 2.3 times as long as the humeral width; subparallel-sided in most of its length, then gradually convergent toward separately rounded apices; disk smooth, sparsely punctate mainly at base or near the suture, with two weak longitudinal carinae extending from the base to apical one-fifth. Abdomen with ventrite I about twice as long as each of the following ventrites. Legs moderately long and stout, metafemora extending ventrite IV in ventral view. Endophallus in everted condition (Fig. 11) similar to Pseudomeges marmoratus as described above except BPH distinctly swollen and bb of APH less protruding near middle in dorsal view. Female. Unknown. Etymology. From the Latin aureus, meaning gold-colored, referred to the appearance of the elytral maculae. Distribution. China: Yunnan (Pingbian County). Remarks. The relatively more widely distributed species Pseudomeges varioti Le Moult, 1946 has the coloration or pattern of the elytral pubescence variable and some individuals are similar to this new species. But this new species can be distinguished from males of P. varioti by the body relatively slenderer; head smaller, in front view only protruding laterally near the lower eye lobe (instead of protruding in most of the head height); lower eye lobe larger, about 0.9 times as long as gena (instead of 0.6 times); antennae indistinctly annulated; scutellum not transverse; elytra relatively narrower, about 2.3 times as long as the humeral width (instead of 1.9–2.0 times)., Published as part of Bi, Wen-Xuan, Chen, Chang-Chin & Lin, Mei-Ying, 2022, Taxonomic studies on the genera Meges Pascoe, 1866 and Pseudomeges Breuning 1944 from China (Coleoptera, Cerambycidae, Lamiinae, Lamiini), pp. 242-250 in Zootaxa 5120 (2) on pages 248-249, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5120.2.4, http://zenodo.org/record/6389228, {"references":["Le Moult, E.

Meges tonkineus (Clermont, 1932) comb. nov. (Figs. 2, 7, 9) Magninia tonkinea Clermont, 1932: 215, fig. on page 215. Type locality: Tien-Yen, Tonkin, Vietnam. Type material examined. Holotype, female, “ Tonkin / Tien-yen ”, “ex. Jeanvoine / Coll. Clermont ”, “ Type ”, “ Magninia / tonkinea / Clerm. / type ”, “ tonkinea Clerm ”, “TYPE”, “ Museum Paris / Coll. M. Pic ” (MNHN). Examined by photographs taken by Gan-Yan Yang & Hong-Liang Shi in 2011. Other material examined. China (Guangxi): 1 male, Guangxi, Jinxiu, Dayaoshan, 900 m, 2018.VIII.11, local collector (CCCC). China (Hainan): 1 male, Hainan, Ledong, Jianfengling, 950 m, 2015.V.7-12, leg. Yu-Tang Wang & Nan-Yi Tsai (CCCC); 1 female, ditto except 2018.V.21, local collector (CCCC); 1 female, ditto except 2018.VI.2, local collector (CCCC). Complementary description. Male (Fig. 2). Body length 48.5–49.4 mm, humeral width 14.6–15.0 mm. General appearance similar to the female described by Clermont (1932). Body slightly slenderer. Antenna about 2.0 times of body length. Legs relatively longer and thicker. Endophallus in everted condition (Fig. 9), almost identical to Meges gravidus as described above, but relatively slenderer. Female. Body length 55.0– 57.3 mm, humeral width 16.6–17.8 mm. Distribution. China: Hainan (new Province record), Guangxi; Vietnam: “ Tonkin ”. Remarks. The resemblances of the endophallic structures between this species and Meges gravidus (Figs. 8. 9.), indicate a close relationship. This species can be easily distinguished from the latter by its larger body size, antennae longer, protibial subapical tooth sharper, elytra broader with smooth base which lacks remarkable granule, elytral humeri remarkably spined and elytral disk bearing fewer maculae of relatively lighter color. Huang et al. (2002) firstly recorded this species from Guangxi, China.

Meges Pascoe, 1866 stat. res. Meges Pascoe, 1866: 272. Type species: Monochamus gravidus Pascoe, 1858, by monotypy. Magninia Clermont, 1932: 215. Type species: Magninia tonkinea Clermont, 1932, by monotypy. Syn. nov. Redescription. Body elongate and stout, medium to large (ca. 37–57 mm long). Head width subequal to pronotal width at base. Eyes coarsely faceted, emarginate; lower lobes vertical. Frons wider than long. Antennal tubercles moderately prominent and separated. Antennae ca. 1.7–2.0 times (in male) or 1.3–1.4 times (in female) as long as body length; scape with apical cicatrix developed; antennomere III longest, about twice as long as scape, distinctly longer than antennomere IV, antennomeres IV to X successively shorter and narrower, last antennomere slightly longer than penultimate; basal 6–7 antennomeres very sparsely fringed beneath. Both maxillary and labial terminal palpomeres fusiform. Pronotum transverse, cylindrical; each side with a long sharp lateral spine, thickened at base and curved backwards; disk weakly convex, with three indistinct calli arranged as inverted triangle; procoxal cavities closed posteriorly. Scutellum broadly rounded posteriorly. Elytra elongate, subparallel-sided in basal half, gradually convergent toward conjointly rounded apices with long sutural spine; disk provided with two more or less distinct longitudinal carinae. Mesocoxal cavities open to mesepimera. Legs moderately long, stout; protibia with a subapical tooth beneath (weak in females); mesotibia with a subapical oblique groove externally; tarsus four segmented; tarsal claws free, divaricate. Male endophallus with cs highly reduced or nearly absent; MPH long and slender, without significant swelling or protuberance; PB provided with sf and si; APH provided apically with a pair of rod-like sclerites associated with the paired ejaculatory ducts. Distribution. China, Vietnam. Remarks. The genus Meges was proposed by Pascoe (1866) for Monochamus gravidus Pascoe, 1858. The genus Magninia Clermont, 1932 was established based on M. tonkinea Clermont, 1932. Clermont (1932) differentiated this genus from Meges by “les deux sillons oculaires” (“the two eye furrows”, meaning uncertain) less oblique, the scutellum more widely rounded and frons with a pair of deep comma-shaped dimple anteriorly (=pretentorial pit). Breuning (1944) synonymized Meges Pascoe, 1866 with Monochamus Dejean, 1821 without providing any reason, but retained Magninia as valid. In his key, Breuning (1944) separated Magninia from Monochamus mainly by its elytra provided with humeral spines. However, based on the comparison of high-quality photographs of the type specimens of Monochamus gravidus and Magninia tonkinea, and the investigation of fresh material of both species, no significant difference can be found to support their generic separation, especially regarding the considerable similarities of their endophallic structures (Figs. 5, 6). Therefore, Magninia Clermont, 1932 is herein synonymized with Meges Pascoe, 1866. In addition, the genus Meges is proposed herein to be resurrected from synonymy with Monochamus Dejean, 1821 by combination of the following characters: body stout, antennae relatively short, pronotal lateral spines long and sharp, curved backwards, elytra carinated, elytral apices spined, protibia with a subapical tooth beneath, male endophallus with cs highly reduced or nearly absent, MPH without significant swelling or protuberance, PB provided with sf and si, and APH provided apically with a pair of rod-like sclerites associated with the ejaculatory ducts. While in M. sutor sutor (Linnaeus, 1758), the type species of Monochamus, body relatively slender and antennae relatively long, pronotal lateral spines less acute apically and not curved, elytra without carinae, elytral apices rounded, protibia untoothed, male endophallus with cs well developed, MPH swollen near middle and apex, PB lacking sf and si, and APH provided with a single V-shaped sclerite. Pascoe (1858) mentioned the similarities between his Monochamus gravidus and Hammaticherus marmoratus Westwood, 1848 (the type species of Pseudomeges Breuning, 1944). Based on the comparison of both type species in this study, the genus Meges can be distinguished from Pseudomeges by the antennal scape with the cicatrix more prominent and delimited by a distinct carina (“scape provided with a complete cicatrix” in Breuning 1943), elytral apices provided with long sutural spine, protibia with a subapical tooth beneath, male endophallus with the MPH relatively longer and slenderer., Published as part of Bi, Wen-Xuan, Chen, Chang-Chin & Lin, Mei-Ying, 2022, Taxonomic studies on the genera Meges Pascoe, 1866 and Pseudomeges Breuning 1944 from China (Coleoptera, Cerambycidae, Lamiinae, Lamiini), pp. 242-250 in Zootaxa 5120 (2) on pages 243-244, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5120.2.4, http://zenodo.org/record/6389228, {"references":["Pascoe, F.

Tsounkranaglenea hefferni sp. nov. (Figs. 1-14) Type material. Holotype, male (Fig. 1), Malaysia, Sabah, Crocker Range, 2003-II-16, leg. local coll. (IZCAS). Paratypes: 1 male, Malaysia, Sabah, Mt. Trus Madi, 1500-2000m, 1998-III-11, leg. Affenddy (DHCO); 1 female, Malaysia, Sabah, Mt. Trus Madi, 1500-2000m, 1998-III /V, leg. local coll. (IZCAS); 1 female, Malaysia, Sabah, Crocker Range, 2010-III-18, local coll. (DHCO); 1 female, same data but 1998-III-19 (DHCO). Other material (examined only by photographs). 1 male with length 11.5 mm, no. S11.9-151. Nobuo Ohbayashi showed the first author a specimen from Malaysia with dorsal view and lateral view pictures in 2011, which was surely this species. It may be from Trus Madi, however, the owner Mr. Minoru Sawai could not be contacted during this research. Description (based on two males and three females): Male: length: 11.0– 11.5 mm, humeral width: 3.0– 3.2 mm. Female: length: 11.0–14.0 mm, humeral width: 3.4–4.2 mm. Body black. Head black, with frons covered with dense grayish white to yellow pubescence (Figs. 2e, 11d), which extends as two short vittae to occiput; antennae black. Prothorax covered with dense brownish pubescence in dorsal view except a whitish pubescent spot at base for both sexes and a whitish spot in middle of apical part for female only (Figs. 11a, 12); with a longitudinal grayish white to yellow pubescence in lateral view (Figs. 1b, 11b). Scutellum black, covered by brownish (basal part) and whitish (apical part) pubescence. Elytra black, covered by rather dense brownish pubescence, at basal fourth and along suture with some silver erect setae, basal setae much longer than others (Fig. 12), and with grayish white to yellow pubescence markings on each elytron as following: (for both sexes) a transverse vitta at base; a apical vitta; (for only female) a long line along second row of punctures (counting from lateral carina) from nearly base to apical tenth, normally with a subapical interruption; a lateral line along the puncture row near lateral carina from nearly base to middle (Fig. 11b); a short longitudinal vitta along suture just behind scutellum (Fig. 11a, sometimes missing, Fig. 12). Ventral surface black with grayish white pubescence except a long stouter line with interruptions caused by lacking pubescence (Figs. 1b, 11b). Legs reddish brown to dark brown, covered with grayish pubescence. Frons longer than broad, width less than (male) or subequal to (female) two eyes’s combined width. Antennomere ratio: male, 25:5:36:28:27:26:25:24:22:20:21; female, 25:5:36:26:25:24:23:21:19:18:19. Prothorax longer than (male) to as long as (female) broad. Elytron truncated apically, with a short tooth at inner angle and a sharp and long tooth at outer angle. Hind femur reaching base of (female) or the bent part of (male) fifth abdominal segment, first hind tarsal segment longer than the following two segments combined. The sternite VII in male (Figs. 2b, 2c, 3b–d) strongly bent at base, the apical half reduced and transformed into two slender knife-shaped teeth (Figs. 3b–d), with long brown brush hairs on the outer side. Male terminalia (Figs. 6–10): Tegmen about 3.0 mm in length; lateral lobes slender (Figs. 8a, 8c), each about 1.2 mm long and 0.3 mm wide, provided with a thin setae, strongly protruding lobe at ventral base (Fig. 8b), apical half with medium long setae; ringed part elbowed in widest portion, converging; basal piece bifurcated apically (Figs. 8c); median lobe plus median struts strongly curved (Figs. 9b, 9d), shorter than tegmen; median struts more than one third and less than half of whole median lobe in length; dorsal plate slightly shorter than ventral plate; apex of ventral plate strongly emarginated, forming two lateral apical lobes (Figs. 9a, 9b); median foramen slightly elongated; internal sac about triple length of median lobe, with two pairs of basal plate-like sclerites (located behind apex of median struts), one band of distinct supporting armature, some barely separated plate-like sclerites between them, and three rod-like sclerites at the end (Figs. 10a–10c), rod-like sclerites about 1.0 mm, much shorter than median lobe or tegmen. Tergite VIII (Figs. 6a–6c) longer than broad, strongly narrowed before apex (Fig. 6b), apex emarginated with two short ear-shaped lateral lobes, with dense and long brown setae along the narrowed part (Figs. 6a, 6b). Sternite VIII with spiculum relictum as Fig. 7b, sternite IX (spiculum gastrale) as Fig. 7a. Female genitalia (Figs. 13–14): spermathecal capsule composed of an apical orb and a long and strongly curved stalk, the stalk more than triple the length of the apical orb, curved twice at basal part (Fig. 14). Spiculum ventrale longer than abdomen. In our observation, spiculum ventrale measured 7.7 mm for an adult compared with abdomen which measured 5.7 mm in ventral view. Etymology. The species is named after Mr. Daniel Heffern (Texas, USA), who offered the interesting material for this study and provided the first author some wonderful saperdine specimens from Malaysia for research. Diagnosis. This species resembles Glenea subaurata Breuning, 1950 at first glance by the similar shape and colour. The specific differences are easily defined by the male sternite VII. Without specimens for dissection, we can not conclude whether Glenea subaurata Breuning, 1950 should be moved to the new genus Tsounkranaglenea or not. Remarks. Glenea subaurata Breuning, 1950 (Figs. 15–18) was described based on “Type un male de Sumatra: Si-Rambé, XII-1890 - III-1891, leg. E. Modigliani”, with “Longuer 10 mm, Largeur 2mm. 1/3”. The holotype male (Figs. 15–16) is deposited in MSNG and had been examined by the first author in June, 2008. Another male specimen (Figs. 17–18) is deposited in NHMB, with a label written “ PARATYPE ”. Though it has a Breuning’s handwriting label “glenea / subaurata / mihi. P. T. / Breuning det.”, it is not a paratype because the locality “Madam / Sumatra ” and the individual specimen were not mentioned in the original paper (Breuning, 1950b). Here we confirmed that the identification is correct and it is a useful additional material for the specific definition of Glenea subaurata Breuning, 1950., Published as part of Lin, Mei-Ying & Ge, Si-Qin, 2021, Tsounkranaglenea hefferni gen. et sp. nov. from Sabah, Malaysia (Coleoptera Cerambycidae, Lamiinae: Saperdini), pp. 289-297 in Zootaxa 5048 (2) on pages 291-296, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5048.2.9, http://zenodo.org/record/5552118, {"references":["Breuning, S.

Tsounkranaglenea gen. nov. Type species: Tsounkranaglenea hefferni sp. nov. Diagnosis. It is mostly similar to Glenea by the lateral elytral carinae and truncate elytral apex, but can be distinguished by the elongated, bended and rake-shaped sternite VII. In fact, it differs from all other saperdine genera by the peculiar sternite VII in males. It also differs from Paraglenea Bates, 1866, Heteroglenea Gahan, 1897 (as defined in Lin, Montreuil et al, 2009) and Pareutetrapha Breuning, 1952 by the male claws of fore and hind legs simple instead of appendiculate or bifid and elytral apex truncated with sharp teeth instead of rounded or slightly truncated without sharp teeth. It also differs from Eumecocera Solsky, 1871 and Stenostola Dejean, 1835 by the elytra with lateral carinae and male claws of fore and hind legs simple instead of appendiculate or bifid. The combination of the following characters makes the new genus easily separable from other saperdine genera: prothorax without lateral tubercles, elytra with distinct lateral carinae, elytral apex truncated with long spines at outer angle, male claws with appendiculated tooth only in mesotarsi and female claws all simple, male sternite VII elongated and bended into a rake-shape. Description. Small-sized (under 15 mm). Head not broader than prothorax. Eyes deeply emarginate, not divided, lower eye lobe much vertically longer than (male) to subequal to (female) gena. Antennae longer than body, in male slightly longer than female, basal segments fringed with sparse setae, scape slightly expanded, second antennomere short, third antennomere always the longest, 4 th antennomere subequal to (female) to slightly longer than (male) scape, 4 th to 10 th slightly and gradually decreasing in length except 11 th being slightly longer than 10 th. Prothorax cylindrical, without lateral tubercles, slightly narrowed around basal fifth. Elytra subparallel, truncated apically, with sharp teeth at both inner and outer angles, each with two distinct lateral carinae starting from the base and combined into apical outer tooth (Figs 1b, 11b). Procoxal cavity closed posteriorly (Fig. 11c), mesocoxal cavity open to mesepimeron, metanepisternum more than twice as wide anteriorly as posteriorly. Protarsi with first segment expanded in male (Fig. 1a), mesotibiae with an oblique groove with setae (Fig. 1b), hind femur reaching fifth abdominal segment, hind tarsi with first segment longer than the following two combined. Male claws: only anterior claws of mesotarsi appendiculate with small teeth (Figs. 4–5), posterior claws of mesotarsi without teeth, and claws of pro- and metatarsi simple. Females claws simple (Figs. 11 a-11b). Male sternite VII elongated and bent into a rake-shape (Figs. 1–3), female sternite VII with a median groove (Fig. 11c). Male terminalia. Apex of male tergite VIII emarginated (Figs. 6a–6c). Lateral lobes slender, with a strong tooth at ventral base (Fig. 8b); ringed part elbowed in the widest portion, converging; basal piece well-developed and bifurcated (Fig. 8c). Median lobe strongly curved, shorter than tegmen, dorsal plate shorter than ventral plate, apex of ventral plate emarginated (Fig. 9a). Median foramen not elongated. Endophallus with one band of supporting armature, 4 basal plate-like sclerites, and 3 rod-like sclerites. Ejaculatory duct single. Female terminalia: Setae of sternite VIII dense and long. Spermathecal capsule and gland positioned on apex of spermathecal duct. Spermathecal capsule strongly sclerotized, composed of an apical orb and a long stalk, spiculum ventrale longer than abdomen. Etymology. The generic name is a combination of a Greek word tsounkrána (τσουγκράνα) and the genus name Glenea. The Greek word “tsounkrána” refers to the shape of sternite VII in male, which looks like a rake. Gender feminine. Distribution. Malaysia. Remarks. It is very similar to Glenea (Breuning, 1956; Breuning, 1958) by the elytral lateral carinae and truncated elytral apex, and the following characters are quite common in Glenea members: endophallus with 4 basal plate-like sclerites (Lin et al., 2009; Lin, Tavakilian et al., 2009a,b; Lin & Lin, 2011; Lin & Yang, 2011a, b; Lin et al., 2018), and 3 rod-like sclerites (Lin et al., 2009; Lin, Tavakilian et al., 2009a,b; Lin & Lin, 2011; Lin & Yang, 2011a, b; Lin & Dai, 2012; Lin, 2013); spermathecal capsule strongly sclerotized, composed of an apical orb and a long stalk (Lin et al., 2009; Lin, Tavakilian et al., 2009b; Lin & Yang, 2011a, b; Lin & Dai, 2012). We separate it from Glenea based on the following reasons.: 1) Glenea is heterogeneous (Lin, Montreuil et al., 2009;), even though outer characters are very similar (Lin & Tavakilian, 2012), this peculiar species does not match with any type species of the subgenera; 2) Though most of characters can be found in the previous Glenea members, and the peculiar male sternite might not be suitable for generic level, but with only one band of supporting armature and the emarginated apex of the ventral plate of the median lobe, this convinced the authors to make a new genus. Most members of Saperdini have zero or two bands of supporting armature, rounded to the pointed apex of the ventral plate of the median lobe (Lin et al., 2009; Lin, Tavakilian et al., 2009a, b; Lin & Yang, 2011a, b; Lin & Dai, 2012; Lin, 2013; Lin et al., 2018). 3) Although the sexual dimorphism (on pubescence markings) referred to the subgenus Glenea (Acutoglenea) Breuning, 1958, and the dark integument referred especially to G. (A.) versuta basaloides Breuning 1958, G. (A.) versuta maura Pascoe, 1867, it can not be included in the subgenus Acutoglenea because of the non-simple male claws and very different male terminalia (based on the first author’s unpublished data). Besides, the type species Glenea (Acutoglenea) acuta (Fabricius, 1801) has a stouter female, with elytral length less than twice basal width, fourth antennomere much shorter than scape, which are very different from the new taxon herein described. 4) We have checked the subgenus Glenea (Lineatoglenea) Breuning, 1950, which is represented by a unique type species Glenea (Lineatoglenea) lineatopunctata Breuning, 1950 from Malaysian Borneo. There are no images available, and we did not have an opportunity to examine the type specimen which should be deposited in University of Malaysia, Sarawak (Breuning, 1950a). Based on the original description, it shares with the new taxon by antennae longer than body, similar antennomere ratio, pronotum and elytra, however it differs from the new taxon by the fifth male abdominal segment provided at the end with a short median longitudinal ridge. 5) We have checked the subgenus Glenea (Spiniglenea) Breuning, 1958, which is represented by a unique type species Glenea (Spiniglenea) spinosipennis Breuning, 1958 from Malaysian Borneo. It also has no images available, and we did not have an opportunity to examine the type specimen which should be deposited in University of Malaysia, Sarawak (Breuning, 1958b). Based on the original description, it is difficult to separated it from the new taxon on genus level, since it was based only on a female. However, it is surely not the same species. 6) We compared the new taxon with Glenea (Metaglenea) Breuning, 1956, which is represented by a species from Sumatra, and Glenea (Porphyrioglenea) Breuning, 1956, which is represented by a species from West Malaysia and Sabah, East Malaysia. They can be easily distinguished from the new taxon by the very close antennal tubercles, shorter and stouter antennae. Glenea (Pseudotanylecta) Breuning, 1956, Glenea (Subgrossoglenea) Breuning, 1956, Glenea (Tanylecta) Pascoe, 1866 also from Malaysia and Indonesia, can be separated by the close and protruding antennal tubercles. 7) Glenea (Poeciloglenea) Aurivillius, 1920, Glenea (Punctoglenea) Breuning, 1956, Glenea (Reginoglenea) Breuning, 1956, Glenea (Rubroglenea) Breuning, 1956, Glenea (Rufoglenea) Breuning, 1956, Glenea (Stiroglenea) Aurivillius, 1920, Glenea (Vanikoroglenea) Breuning, 1956, Glenea (Vittiglenea) Breuning, 1956, Glenea (Volumnia) Thomson, 1860 and all other subgenera have been studied by the first author, and none of them are suitable for the new taxon. 8) The new taxon differs from Glenea (Lobunguiglenea) Lin & Tavakilian, 2014 by the male claws with only anterior claw of mesotarsus appendiculate with small lobe in inner side, instead of all claws appenciculated in outer sides, and genitalia with median lobe strongly curved, apex of ventral plate emarginated, instead of genitalia with median lobe slightly curved, apex of ventral plate pointed., Published as part of Lin, Mei-Ying & Ge, Si-Qin, 2021, Tsounkranaglenea hefferni gen. et sp. nov. from Sabah, Malaysia (Coleoptera Cerambycidae, Lamiinae: Saperdini), pp. 289-297 in Zootaxa 5048 (2) on page 290, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5048.2.9, http://zenodo.org/record/5552118, {"references":["Lin, M.

Glenea albosignatipennis Breuning, 1950 (Figures 37–38, 44) Glenea (s. str.) albosignatipennis Breuning, 1950: 260. TL: India, North Belgaum, Bombay. TD: IFRI. Glenea (Glenea) albosignatipennis: Breuning, 1956a: 61; Breuning, 1956b: 713. Type specimen examined Holotype, 1 ♀, on twig of, Tarewadi 2600 feet, N. Belgaum, 1938.V.21, J.A. Graham (IFRI). Other specimens examined India: 1 ♂, ‘ paratype’ (unmentioned in Breuning 1950 and therefore not type), Somwarpet, Coorg, S. India (NHMB, ex FREY). 1 ♀, Somwarpet, Coorg, S. India (BMNH, with a yellow label ‘ Data unreliable. See Brit. Mus. 1949–314’.) Description complementary to Breuning (1950, 1956b). The only examined male specimen (Figure 38) matches with females very well in colour and patterns of pubescent maculae. Male with antennae longer than body length, labrum medially provided with two pairs of suberect, distinctly elongate yellowish brown setae arising from respective punctures, sternite VII with a distinct umbo prior to apical opening (Figure 38 (b)), apex rounded. Both male and female with simple claws. Distribution India (Karnataka and Maharashtra). Remarks Breuning (1950: 261) described this species based on ‘Longueur 12 mm. Largeur 3 mm 1/ 3. Type une female de North Belgaum, Bombay (J.A. Graham)’, wrote something about males in the original description, and repeated the sexual difference in Breuning (1956b), also only mentioning the holotype female (Figure 37). However, one male specimen in NHMB was labelled as paratype and with a handwritten identification label by Breuning (Figure 38 (d)). Since it was not mentioned in the original literature (Breuning 1950), it cannot be treated as paratype. The second author examined another female of this species deposited at BMNH, with the same locality label as the male in Figure 38, but with a yellow label noted ‘Data unreliable. See Brit. Mus. 1949–314’. Michael Geiser (m.geiser@nhm.ac.uk, 7 January 2020) from BMNH informed us that The famous Cerambycids specialist E.F. Gilmour was caught stealing specimens from the London museum back in the 1940s. Most of his specimens were later returned to the museum, but there was a suspicion that he could have swapped around some of the labels and faked some of the data to wipe out his traces. As far as I am aware, the vast majority of the specimens still have the correct labels, but the curators at the time added this label as a cautionary measure, because in some cases the label data could have been compromised The male specimen in NHMB (Figure 38) having the exact same locality label proves that the female in BMNH has the correct labels. Therefore, the locality Somwarpet, Coorg, S. India, is correct; it is now in Karnataka state, south India, which is situated nearly 600 km away from the type locality Tarewadi village, now in Kolhapur district of Maharashtra state., Published as part of Hiremath, Sangamesh R. & Lin, Mei-Ying, 2021, Description of two new species of Glenea Newman, 1842 from southern India and reinstatement of Glenea vestalis Heller, 1934 (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae: Lamiinae: Saperdini), pp. 205-245 in Journal of Natural History 55 (3 - 4) on pages 234-238, DOI: 10.1080/00222933.2021.1900442, http://zenodo.org/record/5473739, {"references":["Breuning S. 1950.

Differential diagnosis Glenea vellayaniensis sp. nov. is closely allied to G. pulchella Pascoe, 1858 and G. vestalis Heller, 1934 by the integument colouration, shape of elytra, and yellow hairs covering the body; however, it can be easily distinguished from them by the appendiculate claws (simple claws for G. pulchella and G. vestalis) and distinct shape of the male genitalia, viz. median lobe distinctly curved in lateral view (vs median lobe weakly curved in lateral view in G. pulchella and G. vestalis), tegmen with lateral lobes medium sized and wider (vs tegmen with lateral lobes distinctly elongate and slender in G. pulchella and G. vestalis), basal piece arcuate distally (vs basal piece bifurcated distally in G. pulchella and G. vestalis), ringed part of tegmen constricted near widest portion (vs ringed part of tegmen weakly geniculated in G. pulchella and G. vestalis), manubrium of ringed part hollow, constricted just before basal end, which is short, and abridged by rectangular membrane (vs manubrium of the ringed part closely approximated from middle, continued to distal end as a slender rod in G. pulchella and G. vestalis), median arm of spiculum gastrale slightly longer than lateral arms (vs median arm of spiculum gastrale distinctly longer than lateral arms in G. pulchella and G. vestalis) and RS composed of two closely appressed, sclerotised plates, of which ventral plate is dorso-ventrally flattened to encase dorsal plate, while dorsal plate is made up of two closely approximated inconspicuous rods, forming tubular structure; proximal ends bear two asymmetrical, falcate tines, one tine being longer than other; apex of longer tine bearing divaricate claw like projection (vs RS without any modifications as previous but made up of 4 rods in G. pulchella and 3 rods in G. vestalis). In female genitalia, spermatheca with stalk strongly moulded into U-shaped tubule (vs stalk slightly curved basally in G. pulchella and G. vestalis). It is also similar to Bifidunguiglenea gestroi (Gahan, 1894) in the integument colouration, body shape and yellow-haired maculae, but can be easily distinguished from the latter by the following characters: claws appendiculate (vs claws bifid in B. gestroi); male genitalia with median lobe distinctly curved in lateral view (vs median lobe indistinctly curved in lateral view in B. gestroi); tegmen with lateral lobes medium sized and wider (vs lateral lobes distinctly short and stout in B. gestroi) lateral lobes separated and ventral face sparsely covered with randomly distributed suberect setae (vs lateral lobes confluent except apex, ventral face densely covered with suberect setae in B. gestroi); ringed part of tegmen constricted near widest portion (vs ringed part of tegmen weakly geniculated in B. gestroi); manubrium of ringed part hollow, constricted just before basal end; basal end short, abridged by rectangular membrane (vs manubria of the ringed part joined with each other at basal third, continued to basal end as short, slender rod in B. gestroi); tergite VIII with apical margin truncated (vs apical margin of tergite VIII angulately projected at middle in B. gestroi); female genitalia with stalk of spermatheca strongly moulded into U-shaped tubule (vs spermatheca with stalk nearly straight in B. gestroi). Etymology The name refers to the type locality of the species, Vellayani campus of the Kerala Agricultural University, situated on the banks of the Vellayani lake, on the outskirts of Trivandrum, in the capital city of Kerala, India. Life history All three specimens were collected by the blue light of Actinic BL TL 8 W tubes. Distribution India (Kerala). Remarks on generic affinity Glenea vellayaniensis sp. nov. is an atypical member of the genus Glenea because of the appendiculate female claws. Claws vary greatly between the males of Glenea spp. (Gahan 1897; Lin et al. 2009b; Lin and Yang 2011), but all of them have simple claws in the females. When the female claws are not simple, they are placed in their own genus in most cases (Lin et al. 2009a; Lin and Tavakilian 2012). The genera Eumecocera Solsky, 1871 and Pareutetrapha Breuning, 1952 have appendiculate claws in both male and female. However, the new species can not be combined with any of these genera because of the presence of a lateral elytral carina, a truncated elytral apex, and distinctly different male genitalia. Meanwhile, some members currently placed in the genus Glenea also have appendiculate claws in both sexes, such as G. lineatocollis Thomson, 1860 and G. tenuilineata Thomson, 1879. However, the new species differs from them not only by morphological characters such as elytral shape, colour and haired pattern, but also by the fe, Published as part of Hiremath, Sangamesh R. & Lin, Mei-Ying, 2021, Description of two new species of Glenea Newman, 1842 from southern India and reinstatement of Glenea vestalis Heller, 1934 (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae: Lamiinae: Saperdini), pp. 205-245 in Journal of Natural History 55 (3 - 4) on pages 208-217, DOI: 10.1080/00222933.2021.1900442, http://zenodo.org/record/5473739, {"references":["Pascoe FP. 1858.

Clermont). Description complementary to Heller (1934) and Breuning (1956a). Male genitalia (Figures 23–24) Tegmen length about 3.5 mm; lateral lobes extremely long and slender, each about 1.8 mm long and 0.05 mm wide, apex covered with short, reddish brown setae; basal piece bifurcated distally; median lobe plus median struts slightly curved, much shorter than tegmen (22:35); median struts about two-thirds of whole median lobe in length; dorsal plate slightly shorter than ventral plate; ventral edge of median orifice slightly pointed; median foramen elongated; internal sac about 3 times as long as median lobe plus median struts, with four pieces of basal armature and three rods; rods about 1.0 mm, shorter than one-third of tegmen. Tergite VIII elongate, U-shaped with its apical margin weakly notched in middle, integument with short setae. Ventrite IX subequal to ringed part of tegmen in length. Female genitalia (Figure 25): Spermatheca elongate, with its stalk curved at base and capsule oval. Spermathecal gland originating from a distinctly sclerotised ringed plate (Figure 25). Tignum much longer than abdomen. In our observation, tignum 8.5 mm for an adult with a 5.3 mm long abdomen in ventral view. Diagnosis This species is very similar to G. pulchella Pascoe at first glance, with body reddish brown and similar yellow-haired maculae. However, they differ from each other in the absence vs presence of the small spot at the centre of apical half. Male genitalia exhibit distinct differences also: lateral lobes shorter than half of tegmen and apex of tergite VIII truncated in G. pulchella (Figures 15 and 16) vs lateral lobes subequal to half of tegmen and apex of tergite VIII weakly notched at middle in G. vestalis (Figures 23 and 24). Distribution Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam. Remarks Breuning (1956a) treated G. vestalis as a morph of G. pulchella, and subsequent authors considered them synonyms (Hüdepohl 1996; Tavakilian and Chevillotte 2020). However, they are two distinct species, and G. vestalis is herein reinstated from synonymy with G. pulchella. Aurivillius (1926: 111) wrote: ‘Specimens from Mindanao have a small sulphur yellow lateral dot behind the middle of elytra; this dot is wanting in specimens from Borneo and Malacca but still more developed in a specimen from Ceram’. Examination of specimens from these localities by the second author revealed that specimens referred to as having a ‘small sulphur yellow lateral dot’ behind the middle of the elytra, from Philippines and Ceram (now Indonesia, Maluku, Seram), are G. vestalis, while the specimens from Borneo and Malacca, in which ‘this dot is wanting’, are G. pulchella. Breuning (1956a) described three morphs, which are all infrasubspecific. The second author examined the ‘type’ and ‘paratypes’ of these morphs; the ‘type’ of Glenea (Glenea) pulchella m. preapiceconjuncta Breuning, 1956 (Figure 21 (a,b)) from ‘ Insel Ceram im Britischen Museum’, and the ‘type’ of Glenea (Glenea) pulchella m. postmediopunctata Breuning, 1956 (Figure 22 (a,b)) from ‘ Tonkin: Hoa-Binh in coll. Lepesme’ are both females and are both considered Glenea vestalis Heller, 1934 based on the presence of a postmedial, sulphur yellow lateral dot on the elytra. The ‘type’ of Glenea (Glenea) pulchella m. transversevittata Breuning, 1956, based on ‘ein female ohne Fundortangabe in der Sammlung Itzinger’, could not be examined; however, in all probability it belongs to G. vestalis, since Breuning (1956a: 197) compared it with m. postmediopunctata and arranged it between m. preapiceconjuncta and m. vestalis Hell., Published as part of Hiremath, Sangamesh R. & Lin, Mei-Ying, 2021, Description of two new species of Glenea Newman, 1842 from southern India and reinstatement of Glenea vestalis Heller, 1934 (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae: Lamiinae: Saperdini), pp. 205-245 in Journal of Natural History 55 (3 - 4) on pages 221-225, DOI: 10.1080/00222933.2021.1900442, http://zenodo.org/record/5473739, {"references":["Heller KM. 1934.

Wallace (MNHN, ex Musaeo James Thomson); 2 ♂♂, Singapore (MNHN); 1 ♀, Singapore (BMNH); 1 ♀, Singapore (MNHN, ex Musaeo Mniszech). Description complementary to Pascoe (1858) and Breuning (1956a). Male: length: 8.8–10.3 mm, humeral width: 2.6–3.1 mm. Female: length: 11.3–13.4 mm, humeral width: 3.6–4.3 mm. Both male and female with simple claws. Male genitalia (Figures 15–16) Tegmen length about 2.6 mm; lateral lobes long and slender, each about 1.0 mm long and less than 0.1 mm wide, apex covered with short, reddish brown setae; basal piece bifurcated distally; median lobe plus median struts slightly curved, shorter than tegmen (11:13); the median struts about 2/3 of the whole median lobe in length; dorsal plate subequal to ventral plate; ventral edge of median orifice round; median foramen hardly elongated; internal sac 2 times longer than combined length of median lobe and median struts, with 2 pairs of basal armature and 4 rods; each rod about 1.0 mm, shorter than half of tegmen. Tergite VIII trapeziform, apex truncated, with short setae. Length of ventrite IX subequal to ringed part of tegmen. Female genitalia (Figures 17–18) Spermatheca rounded, with a moderately long and curved stem at its base. Spermathecal gland originating from a distinctly sclerotised ringed plate (Figure 17). Tignum much longer than abdomen. Tignum 8.8 mm for an adult with a 5.3 mm long abdomen in ventral view. Diagnosis Glenea pulchella differs from G. vellayaniensis sp. nov. by colour and haired maculae in the following body regions: (1) scape and antennomere II dark brown to black (vs scape and antennomere II reddish brown in G. vellayaniensis sp. nov.); (2) sublateral macula on pronotum made up of yellow hairs with straight inner margin (vs sublateral macula on pronotum made of yellow hairs intermixed with creamy white hairs with proximally concave inner margin in G. vellayaniensis sp. nov.); (3) basal elytral yellow-haired maculae semicircular (vs basal elytral yellow-haired maculae bean-shaped in G. vellayaniensis sp. nov.); (4) middle elytral yellow-haired maculae oval, without small spots posteriorly (vs median maculae on elytra transversely oval with small spots posteriorly in G. vellayaniensis sp. nov.); (5) elytral apex not covered by yellow hairs, but last maculae located before apex (vs elytral apex covered with yellow haired maculae in G. vellayaniensis sp. nov.). Distribution Malaysia, Singapore. Remarks Pascoe (1866: 260) wrote ‘I have altered the specific name pulchella, it having been previously used by Hope’. And Pascoe gave the species the new name ‘ Glenea vesta ’. Pascoe (1867: 370) wrote ‘ Glenea pulchella Hope, sec. J. Thomson, Ess. & c., p. 58’ from Sarawak. We checked page 58 of Thomson (1857) and found nothing related to ‘ Glenea pulchella Hope’; then we checked page 58 of Thomson (1860), and there it was written ‘ Glenea pulchella, Hope Syn.: G. conspuncta, Melly’. However, ‘Hope’s species was not described before 1860’ (Aurivillius 1926: 111). ‘ Glenea pulchella Hope’ described by Pascoe (1867) was renamed Glenea pascoei Aurivillius, 1923, while ‘ Glenea pulchella Hope’ described by Thomson (1860) from Sylhet was renamed Glenea pulchra Aurivillius, 1926. Glenea pulchella Pascoe, 1858 is the earliest name, and therefore the new name ‘ Glenea vesta ’ is not required. Breuning (1956a) treated G. vestalis Heller, 1934 as a morph and described several morphs (infrasubspecific). However, his ‘morphs’ are good species. Mukhopadhyay and Biswas (2000) reported the distribution range of G. pulchella as India: Meghalaya, Bangladesh, Burma; while Mitra et al. (2016) mentioned India: Karnataka, Manipur, Meghalaya, Sikkim, Tamil Nadu, West Bengal. These distribution records are not reliable, based on neither specimens nor trustable identifications. The first author inquired for supportive material from the Zoological Survey of India (ZSI), Kolkata; however, there are no specimens of G . pulchella in the collection.

Weld Downing (Travancore Insect Collection, KAU). Description Body reddish brown; antenna reddish brown; head and pronotum reddish brown or black; legs yellowish brown; ventral body black, except for sternite VII reddish brown. Head with frons, genae and scutellum pale yellow in holotype (it is probably a male specimen), while often black in females; anteclypeus, labial and maxillary palpi yellowish brown; postclypeus black, apical margin thickly adpressed with creamy white hairs interspersed with four pairs of suberect, elongate, reddish brown setae; labrum reddish brown, medially interspersed with two suberect, elongate, yellowish brown setae arising from respective punctures, apical margin indisticntly emarginated; frons with two longitudinal, pale yellow-haired bands at sides, extending backwards and traversing vertex; frontal disc, between lateral bands, moderately covered with sparse pale yellow hairs; genae densely covered with pale yellow hairs; lower eye lobes 3 times as long as genae in males, 0.5 times as long as genae in females; frons as wide as one lower eye lobe in males and three-fourths wider than one lower eye lobe in females; head coarsely and densely punctured. Antenna One-quarter longer than body in male, slightly longer than body in female; scape short and thin. Ratio of lengths of antennomeres in female: 1.00: 0.13: 1.40: 1.13: 1.00: 0.93: 0.93: 0.87: 0.80: 0.73: 0.87. Pronotum as long as broad in males, slightly transverse in females, coarsely and densely punctured; prothorax with five longitudinal, pale yellow-haired bands: one located in middle of pronotum, narrow, often rubbed at middle in preserved specimens; two located at lateral sides of prothorax, each distinctly broad, indented or straight at middle of inner margins, while outer margins irregularly sinuated, top three bands narrowly united ante-basally in females, while broadly united in holotype; other two located at ventro-lateral sides of prothorax, each broad, connecting with outer margins of procoxae. Scutellum semi-circular, densely covered with white hairs. Elytra subparallel, apex distinctly truncated, sutural margin pointed apically, marginal angle stretched into elongate spine (Figures 39 (a) and 45(a)); proximal three-fourths of elytral disc coarsely and densely punctured; sublateral margin impressed with two longitudinal carinae: one begins at base of humeral prominence, terminates well before elytral apex, the other begins just below humeral prominence, terminating along apical spine of marginal angle; humeral prominence angularly projected (Figure 45 (b)); elytral disc densely covered with minute yellowish brown hairs, each elytron with seven pale yellowhaired spots: one oval haired spot at base of elytral epipleura; three situated at premedian and disposed broadly in obliquely triangular fashion: first one situated at basal third, in middle of disc between sutural and sublateral margin, second one situated obliquely to first, just behind basal third, along inner side of sublateral carina, third one larger than the first two spots and situated just before middle, situated obliquely to second one at middle of disc between sutural and sublateral margins; remainder of three situated behind middle: first one largest, oval, slightly situated behind middle, close to sutural margin and situated away from sublateral margin; second one circular, situated at apical fourth, situated along inner side of sublateral carina; third one situated apically and transverse. Legs with tarsal claws divaricate. Sternites densely covered with short, fine, grey-white hairs; mesepisternum ornamented on each side with a transverse creamy white, thickly haired spot; metasternum ornamented on each side with a broad, oblique, creamy white, thickly haired spot; metepisternum on each side ornamented postmedially with an oval, creamy white thickly haired spot, much smaller than haired spot on metasternum. Ventrite densely covered with short fine, grey-white hairs; each side of ventrite I–IV covered with two short longitudinal white-haired spots posteriorly, spots often connected to each other by a narrow white haired band; sternite VII, on each side, covered with a short longitudinal white-haired spot postemedially. In female, sternite VII convex, about 0.32 times as long as total abdominal length, about 3.00 times as long as ventrite IV; disc of sternite VII medially impressed with a fine, dark brown longitudinal sulcus, with a short, medial ridge pre-apically; apical margin broadly concave. Female genitalia (Figure 42 (a–b)) with ovipositor about 1.35 mm long, in dorsal view, up to base of coxite lobe, randomly and sparsely distributed with circular punctures, apical third densely covered with short, spiculate grey setae. Coxite lobe (Figure 42 (b)) yellowish brown, randomly and remotely distributed with a few circular punctures; apical margin adorned with about five small setae, flanked on either side with an elongate seta. Stylus (Figure 42 (b)) distinct, dome-shaped; integument yellowish brown; in dorsal view, provided with two circular punctures near base; apex of stylus bears three distinctly elongate setae arising from associated punctures. Vaginal plates sub-rectangular, weakly sclerotised, separated from one another; integument mostly translucent with faint, yellowish brown tinge; basal half linearly reddish brown on lateral sides. Bursa copulatrix elongate, bisinuate with distinct curvature at apical third; proximally narrow tube, gradually widening towards distal end; integument strongly adorned with transverse plications except basal third. Spermathecal duct slightly longer than bursa copulatrix and distinctly longer than spermatheca, enters bursa copulatrix at apical third, basally translucent tubule, followed by thick, yellowish brown, sickle-shaped tube up to middle; immediately behind middle, slightly curved and continued as a slender tube towards apex. Spermatheca and spermathecal gland opens separately on spermathecal duct. Spermatheca yellowish brown, opens on lateral side of apex of spermathecal duct, and connected to it via a distinctly slender tubule; stalk thick, elongate tubule, narrowed basally and curved towards apex; capsule distinctly capitate. Spermathecal gland strongly wrinkled tubular sac, basally without sclerotised ringed plate. In the specimen examined, tignum measured about 5.95 mm in length while abdomen measured about 5.08 mm. Distribution India (Tamil Nadu: Madurai, Nilgiri Hills; either Maharashtra or Karnataka). Remarks The description comes from Gahan (1889) and Breuning (1956b) and from studying a single female specimen along with the images of the holotype and other identified materials of G. signaticollis. The female genitalia is described and illustrated based on a single female specimen held at the Travancore Insect Collection, KAU, India. Gahan (1889) doubtfully indicated Bombay as the type locality; however, ‘Bombay’ usually referred to the erstwhile Bombay presidency in British India and not particularly to a city. Since other materials studied in the present research originate from Western Ghats, it is safe to assume that the holotype might have been collected from the presentday Western Ghats region of either Maharashtra or Karnataka, parts of which were under erstwhile Bombay presidency., Published as part of Hiremath, Sangamesh R. & Lin, Mei-Ying, 2021, Description of two new species of Glenea Newman, 1842 from southern India and reinstatement of Glenea vestalis Heller, 1934 (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae: Lamiinae: Saperdini), pp. 205-245 in Journal of Natural History 55 (3 - 4) on pages 238-243, DOI: 10.1080/00222933.2021.1900442, http://zenodo.org/record/5473739, {"references":["Gahan CJ. 1889.

Integument of body, antennae and legs blackish; elytra dark-brown. Head except for anterior margin of frons, genae and antennal insertions, pronotum except for sides and posterolateral margins, scutellum and most of elytra densely covered with yellowish-white pubescence. Elytron with blackish pubescent macula involving humerus, blackish pubescent macula near scutellum, and a few small irregular blackish spots near basal and apical third. Ventral sur f ace predominantly covered with fine blackish pubescence, except for anteromedian area of prosternum, most of mesanepisternum, posterior angle of metasternum, postmedian area of metanepisternum, sides of abdominal ventrite I to V, and anterolateral area of metacoxae covered with yellowish-white pubescence forming bright maculae. Body elongate, subcylindrical, feebly narrowed posteriorly. Head slightly wider than pronotal base, occiput with several umbilicate punctures anteriorly; eyes emarginate, coarsely faceted; lower eye lobe 1.5 times as long as width, 2.2 times as long as gena. Antenna long and slender, about 2.7 times body length, finely punctate, basal 3 antennomeres sparsely fringed beneath with short setae; scape gradually thickened apically, with numerous granules near outer edge (Fig. 11); 3rd antennomere 2.8 times as long as scape, 1.2 times as long as 4th, 1.5 times as long as 5th; relative length of antennomeres as follows: 3.5: 0.7: 10: 8.5: 6.9: 6.5: 6.0: 5.9: 6.7: 6.7: 11.6. Pronotum broader than long, 0.7 times as long as basal width, width across lateral spines about 1.5 times of basal width; lateral spine stout, strongly thickened at base with acute apex; disk weakly convex, provided with several setigerous granules at sides after middle. Scutellum broadly rounded posteriorly. Prosternal process widened apically; procoxal cavities widely open posteriorly. Mesosternal process without tubercle and obliquely sloped in lateral view. Elytra elongate, ca. 2.1 times as long as humeral width, slightly convergent toward conjointly rounded apices with short sutural teeth; sparsely provided with a few small granules near humeri; disk smooth, impunctate. Legs moderately long, stout; fore femora with coarse wrinkling sculpturing on both sides; metafemora reaching apical fourth of elytra; tarsus five segmented, tarsal claws divaricate. Male genitalia. Tergite VIII, tegmen and median lobe as in Fig. 17. Endophallus in everted condition (Fig. 20) robust, about 2.3 times as long as median lobe, curved near apical third dorsally; APH defined, limit between BPH and MPH indicated by basal-lateral tubercle (blt); crescent-shaped sclerite absent; MPH subdivided into MT+CT and PB by constrictions, MT slightly longer than CT or PB; CT with lateral tubercles (ltc, Fig. 20d) developed, elongate, directed forward, PB strongly swollen laterally near base, thence, in ventral view, gradually narrowed (Fig. 20d) or expanded in lateral view (Fig. 20) toward apex; APH not subdivided, moderately swollen, weakly sclerotized dorsally from base to gonopore; apical furrow (af) with internal membrane (im) incomplete, represented by short dorsal appendix; spicules mainly distributed on ventral apical surface of MT and apical half of PB; ejaculatory ducts (ej) paired, gonopore (gn) situated near apex of dorsal side of APH.

Legs relatively slenderer and shorter, fore femora without wrinkling sculpturing. Etymology. From the Latin, meaning similar or resembling, referring to the similarities between the new species and Ithocritus ruber. Distribution. China: Yunnan (Gongshan County). Remarks. Ithocritus ruber also occurs in the type locality of the new species. Both species share highly morphological similarities, especially regarding the yellowish-white colored individuals (Figs. 3���5), but the new species can be distinguished by the metanepisternum and metacoxae provided with bright colored maculae (instead of absent); scutellum densely pubescent, obscuring integument (instead of with pubescence relatively sparser, not obscuring integument); elytra dark-brown (instead of reddish ochraceous); female with abdominal ventrite V widely protruded, apex 0.24 times as basal width (instead of 0.13 times); male with endophallus relatively more robust, CT with lateral tubercles developed, elongate, directed forward (instead of weakly developed), PB strongly swollen laterally near base, thence, in ventral view, gradually narrowed toward apex (instead of weakly swollen laterally and ventrally near base, thence strongly constricted toward subparallel-sided apex)., Published as part of Bi, Wen-Xuan, Chen, Chang-Chin & Lin, Mei-Ying, 2020, Notes on the tribe Petrognathini Blanchard, 1845 from China, with description of a new species from Yunnan (Coleoptera, Cerambycidae, Lamiinae), pp. 453-460 in Zootaxa 4732 (3) on pages 455-457, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4732.3.7, http://zenodo.org/record/3667282, {"references":["Hope, F.

Genus Ithocritus Lacordaire, 1872 Ithocritus Lacordaire, 1872: 448. Type species: Monochamus ruber Hope, 1839, by original designation. Ithocritus; Gemminger, 1873: 3059; Aurivillius, 1922: 206; Breuning, 1956: 354; L��bl & Smetana, 2010: 291; Lin & Jiroux, 2011: 108; Ohbayashi & Lin, 2012: 237; Lin & Yang, 2019: 340. Remarks. Including the types species, two of the three known species of the genus have been investigated in this study. Both species with granules near outer edge of scape (Fig. 11), which is inconsistent with the tribal definition proposed by Breuning (1956) and Ohbayashi & Lin (2012). Male genitalia of the two studied species has the endophallus lacking the crescent-shaped sclerites (cs), which accordant with the structure observed in Petrognatha Leach, 1819 (type genus of the tribe), Ioesse Thomson, 1864, and Pseudapriona Breuning, 1936. The consistency of this character among these studied genera superficially stabilized their tribal treatment. However, the absence of such crescent-shaped sclerites in the male endophallus have been reported in several taxa from different tribes of subfamily Lamiinae, e.g. some species of Phytoeciini (as ���basal-lateral-ventral sclerites���, Kasatkin 2006), Mimocagosima Breuning, 1968 and Thermistis Pascoe, 1867 of Saperdini (as ���basal armature��� ��� Lin, Li & Yang 2008; Lin et al. 2012), Acanista Pascoe, 1864 of Acanthocinini, Pentacosmia Newman, 1842 and Probatodes Thomson, 1864 of Rhodopinini (both genera currently in Desmiphorini), Rosenbergia Ritsema, 1881 of Batocerini (as ���crescent-shaped sclerites���, Ślipiński & Escalona 2013), and have also been observed in Pseudomeges Breuning, 1943 and Myagrus Pascoe, 1878 of Lamiini (both genera currently in Monochamini) (Bi, unpublished). The species of Apriona Chevrolat, 1852 and Batocera Dejean, 1835 (Batocerini) from China lack the crescent-shaped sclerites, while Batocera spp. from Australia were reported by Ślipiński & Escalona (2013) having ���large crescent-shaped sclerites���, and the species of Microcriodes Breuning, 1943, also Batocerini, have such sclerites. These variations undoubtedly indicate a more complicated situation, making questionable the tribal position of Ithocritus., Published as part of Bi, Wen-Xuan, Chen, Chang-Chin & Lin, Mei-Ying, 2020, Notes on the tribe Petrognathini Blanchard, 1845 from China, with description of a new species from Yunnan (Coleoptera, Cerambycidae, Lamiinae), pp. 453-460 in Zootaxa 4732 (3) on page 454, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4732.3.7, http://zenodo.org/record/3667282, {"references":["Lacordaire, J.

Genus Falsimalmus Breuning, 1956 (Figs. 6, 7, 18, 21) Falsimalmus Breuning, 1956: 358. Type species: Falsimalmus niger Breuning, 1956, by original designation. Falsimalmus; Rondon & Breuning, 1970: 486; Ohbayashi & Lin, 2012: 249. Remarks. This genus consists of a single species and has been placed in the Petrognathini since Breuning (1956) described it. Ohbayashi & Lin (2012) mentioned that the ���head with frons is not fully vertical, but more or less inclined anteriad.��� According to our observation, the head of this genus is normally vertical (Fig. 7). In addition, the endophallic structure of the only species of this genus has been investigated for the first time and described herein. As shown in the following section, the endophallus of this genus has normally developed crescent-shaped sclerites (absent in Petrognatha gigas (Fabricius, 1793) and Ithocritus spp.); a developed, complete, elongate and sclerotized internal membrane (im) of apical furrow (incomplete and represented by a short dorsal appendix in Ithocritus spp.); a strongly constricted and elongate APH, which is associated with larger spicules (APH swollen and lacking spicules in Ithocritus spp.). These features are obviously different from the other members of this tribe studied by the first author, but partially (especially the constricted and spiculate APH with reduced apical bubble and the developed internal membrane of apical furrow) resemble some Lamiini genera, e.g. Echinovelleda Breuning, 1936 (Bi 2018: figs. 25, 26), indicating an uncertain tribal position of this genus, which is consistent with the suggestion presented by Ohbayashi & Lin (2012). A further examination based on molecular methods may confirm its systematic position., Published as part of Bi, Wen-Xuan, Chen, Chang-Chin & Lin, Mei-Ying, 2020, Notes on the tribe Petrognathini Blanchard, 1845 from China, with description of a new species from Yunnan (Coleoptera, Cerambycidae, Lamiinae), pp. 453-460 in Zootaxa 4732 (3) on pages 457-459, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4732.3.7, http://zenodo.org/record/3667282, {"references":["Breuning, S.
