Unicornileptura Bi, Chen & N. Ohbayashi, gen. nov. Type species: Unicornileptura emeiensis Bi, Chen & N. Ohbayashi sp. nov. Description. Body narrowly elongate. Head short with obliquely inclined mouthparts, broadest at across the eyes; frons steep and narrow, with a vague median ridge reaching vertex; genae very short; postvertex of male protruding backward to form a short horn in lateral view (Fig. 8a), triangular shaped in frontal view (Fig. 8b), almost reaching anterior margin of pronotum; temples moderately developed, shorter than longitudinal eye diameter, roundly constricted to neck. Eyes almost entire, finely facetted; interocular space wider than distance between antennal cavities. Maxillary palpus with fusiform terminal segment, about 1.5 times as long as the penultimate segment. Antennae inserted near anterior margin of eyes, reaching or exceeding elytral midlength; scape clavate, abruptly bent down near apex; flagellum filiform with apices of basal 5 flagellomeres slightly thickened, first flagellomere longer than second, shorter than third. Pronotum trapezoid, nearly as broad as head; sides weakly rounded with obtusely angulate or broadly rounded apical corner and short acute hind angles; hind angles short and acute; disk gently convex. Prosternum without transverse excavation between procoxae and anterior margin; procoxal cavities widely opened posteriorly; prosternal process very narrow with slightly dilated apex. Mesosternal process gradually declivous anteriorly in lateral view. Mesocoxal cavity open to episternum. Elytra elongate, more than 3 times as long as humeral width, more than 2.5 times as long as head and pronotum combined; slightly narrowed apically in male, subparallel sided in female, then roundly narrowed to apices; disk metallic green or blue. Abdomen completely covered by elytra; abdominal ventrites I about 1.5 times as long as II to V respectively. Legs moderately long and slender; femora weakly clavate; hind tarsi with first tarsomere slightly longer than the following two tarsomeres combined. Etymology. From the combination of Latin ūnicornis, meaning one-horned and leptura, the name of the type genus of Lepturini. Gender feminine. Distribution. China: Sichuan; Hubei. Remarks. This new genus should be placed into Lepturini by the feature of prothorax without transverse groove or depression in front of coxal cavities (Gressitt, 1951; Villiers, 1978; Tsherepanov, 1990; Bense, 1995; etc.). It superficially resembles Grammoptera Audinet-Serville, 1835 especially the group of the subgenus Neoencyclops regarding their overall habitus e.g. slender body, metallic colored elytra and similar proportion of body, but it can be readily distinguished from the latter by the curved scape, transverse pronotum and extremely elongate elytra. And fundamentally, it is rather unique among the Asia lepturine genera by its head significantly sexually dimorphic, provided with a cranial horn in male (Fig. 8a) which absent in female (Fig. 9a). The presence of horn-shaped projection of head mostly found in male was rarely reported from worldwide Cerambycidae and currently limited to some lamiine tribe which originated from different portions, e.g. single postclypeal horn in Momisis of Astathini or paired in Mauesia of Mauesiini; mandibular horns in Chariesthoides of Tragocephalini; antennal tubercular horns in some taxon of Onciderini (Švácha & Lawrence, 2014) and also a postclypeal horn in Afirican genus Prosopocera of Prosopocerini (Adlbauer et al., 2015). The cranial specialized horn found in Unicornileptura gen. nov. probably the first discover of such structure in Lepturinae, or even firstly reported from the whole group of longicorn beetles. Unfortunately such unique feature was recognized later in the laboratory based on dry specimens, its biological or ecological significance remains uncertain and requires further field observation., Published as part of Bi, Wen-Xuan, Chen, Chang-Chin & Ohbayashi, Nobuo, 2022, Unicornileptura gen. nov., a unique lepturine genus from China (Coleoptera, Cerambycidae, Lepturinae, Lepturini), pp. 145-150 in Zootaxa 5129 (1) on page 146, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5129.1.10, http://zenodo.org/record/6487975, {"references":["Gressitt, J.

This species was originally described from Borneo (Pascoe 1858, label of the holotype interpreted as “Borneo?”), but no additional specimen has been reported from there since. Study of series specimens from several localities of China suggest that the "North China " proposed in Pascoe (1866) is the correct type locality of this species. Thus, this species is accordingly excluded from the fauna of Borneo., 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 page 244, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5120.2.4, http://zenodo.org/record/6389228, {"references":["Pascoe F.

Description. Male (Fig. 4). Body length 52.6–58.1 mm, humeral width 15.9–18.1 mm. Integument of body, elytra and appendages blackish. 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 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.

The unique female specimen from Mangdong, SW. Yunnan, another locality, does not show any reliable difference from the specimens from Xishuangbanna, SC. Yunnan, the type locality. Diagnosis. This new species is distinguishable from Xizangia cryptonychus (Figs. 9–14, 20, 27) from Motuo, SE Tibet in female by having a shorter ventral tooth of left mandible (Figs. 29–32), a shorter inner spur at apex of protibia (Fig. 33), the shorter last tarsomeres in all legs (Fig. 33), the fewer external spines in all tibiae, and the less convex intervals between striae on the elytra. It can be supposed that these differences should also be present in male as no sexual dimorphism of these characters is found in the known species of Penichrolucanini. Only the two female type specimens are known for Xizangia cryptonychus, both deposited in Institute of Zoology, Chinese Academy of Science; the holotype remains untraceable (M.-Y. Lin & M. Bai, personal communications, 2018). The last abdominal segments of the only available female paratype are missing, most probably dissected by its author during the first research, therefore a comparison of genital structures between the two species is not possible at present. Etymology. The new species is named in honor of Dr. Qiu Jian-Yue, one of the collectors of the new species. Larval morphology (Figs. 44–57) A detailed description of the third instar larva of Xizangia qiuae, new species is given below. Antenna (Figs. 48, 53–54): Antenna 3-segmented (excluding antennifer). Basal antennomere subdivided, with an unpigmented ring near base, indicating it is formed by two segments, completely fused; it bearing very few sensory spots and small setae. Penultimate antennomere (antennomere 2) as long as and markedly wider than basal antennomere, with more sensory spots and small setae than basal antennomere, and with no large sensorium below last antennomere (antennomere 3). Last antennomere very small, with very few setae and sensory spots, and with no apical appendage. Epipharynx (Fig. 56): Phoba divided into an anterior section (namely protophoba) and lateral sections (namely chaetoparia). Protophoba distinct and consisting of 11 short, blunt and densely arranged setae, and with about 3 sensory spots. Haptomerum hardly separated from protophoba, consisting of 2 sensory spots, without setae. Setae in chaetoparia very few and much sparser than in protophoba. Haptolachus consisting of 2 nesia, the median one being more elongate and bearing very small granules; all nesia without setae. Epitorma well sclerotized but very small and short. Pternotorma well developed and very long. Mandibles (Fig. 55): Left mandible with 3 apical teeth at tip, a complicated mola at basal half, a ventral process at base and a minute inner tubercle along the inner edge between apical teeth and mola; apical teeth all blunt, with dorsal one shorter and ventral one longer; inner tubercle minute, not forming clear tooth; mola triangular in both dorsal and ventral views, somewhat square in inner lateral view, and with a deep furrow between dorsal and ventral surfaces. Right mandible with 2 apical teeth at tip, 2 simple molae at base and an inner tubercle between apical teeth and molae; apical teeth with dorsal one shorter and blunter than ventral one; inner tubercle minute; both basal and distal molae restricted to dorsal side, rather short; ventral process fully developed as in left mandible. Outer edge of both mandibles coarse and dentate, with very few minute setae. Mouthparts (Fig. 57): Stipes without stridulatory teeth. Galea and lacinia separate and fixed to stipes. Galea with membranous subdivision. Lacinia single-pointed at apex. Maxillary palpus with 3 palpomeres excluding palpifer and with palpifer present. Ligula absent. Labial palpus with 2 palpomeres, rather straight and glabrous, without palpifer. Hypopharynx not markedly asymmetrical, with right dorsally pointed sclerotized projection visible in oblique view. Prothorax (Fig. 44): Pronotum without an anteriorly projecting lobe or an extensive pronotal plate. Precoxale and episternum hardly sclerotized. Mesocoxal stridulatory organ (pars stridens, Fig. 50): Pars stridens on posterior surface of mesocoxa consisting of a main carina and a field of minute, rounded granules, all about equal in size, without well developed granules outside of the main row. Metatrochanteral stridulatory organ (plectrum, Figs. 51–52): Plectrum on anterior surface of metatrochanter consisting of a single row of continuous granules which might be interrupted by a empty field; granules a little rounded or oblong, smaller in terminal part than in basal part. Tarsungulus: Tarsungulus of prothoracic leg (Fig. 49) 2 times longer and more gradually attenuated at apex than that of mesothoracic (Fig. 50) and metathoracic legs (Fig. 51), flanked by 2 shorter setae arising from the same position on each side. Tarsungulus of mesothoracic and metathoracic legs strongly and abruptly attenuated at apex, flanked by 2 longer setae arising from the same position on each side. Vestiture of thoracic and abdominal tergites (Figs. 44–45): All tergites sparsely clad with small setae; spinules absent from thoracic tergites and abdominal tergites 1 and 7–10, very few on abdominal tergites 2–6. Vestiture of abdominal sternite 10 (Fig. 46). Raster well developed as two lateral groups of posteromesally directed spinules. Anal sclerite. Dorsal lobe obsolete. Lateral lobes with very few setae. Notes. In Emden (1935, 1951) and Lawrence (1981) works the number of inner teeth on the left mandible was used as a major character in larval classification, and a major split is based on the presence of at least one tooth along the inner edge of the left mandible between the two or three apical teeth and the mola, with the larvae possessing such inner teeth belonging to the subfamily Lucaninae (sensu Holloway 1968) whilst the group lacking inner teeth includes Aesalus Fabricius, 1801, Sinodendron Hellwig, 1792, Ceruchus MacLeay, 1819, Nicagus LeConte, 1861, Syndesus MacLeay, 1819, Ceratognathus Westwood, 1838, and the subfamily Lampriminae. However, Xizangia qiuae, new species shows only minute inner tubercle between apical teeth and mola, without distinct excision in front of the tubercle, which cannot be distinguished from that of Aesalus satoi Araya & Yoshitomi, 2003 (Huang et al. 2009). Therefore, the presence or absence of inner teeth should not be used as a major character in classification of larval Lucanidae. Xizangia qiuae, new species larva possesses the following distinct differences from Figulus foveicollis (Boisduval, 1835) (larva described in Emden 1951) and F. lilliputanus Westwood, 1855 (larva described in Lawrence 1981): antenna 3-segmented with basal antennomere subdivided by an unpigmented ring near base, not distinctly 4-segmented; left mandible without large inner tooth; haptomerum with very few sensory spots but without setae; chaetoparia with markedly sparser setae; haptolachus with left nesia present but with no right nesia; epitorma pointed, not obsolete; sternite 10 with distinct raster which is interrupted on median line by a smooth longitudinal strip; plectrum being a single row of the conjoined tubercles; par stridens with most part of main row of tubercles conjoined (as in Cardanus), not separated, and without granules outside of main row; the two setae of the claw inserted side by side (as in Nigidius), not behind each other. Xizangia qiuae, new species larva differs from the one of Nigidius perforatus Harold, 1878 (larva described in Emden 1935, 1951, but with characters of antenna, epipharynx and mouthparts not clarified) by the following points: left mandible without large inner tooth; tergites 7–10 (as in Figulus and Cardanus) without spinules; sternite 10 with raster interrupted on median line by a smooth longitudinal strip; plectrum being a single row of the conjoined tubercles; par stridens with most part of main row of tubercles conjoined, not separated, and without granules outside of main row; claw with a subapical sinuation (as in Figulus and Cardanus), not evenly tapering. Xizangia qiuae, new species larva is different from the one of Cardanus sp. (larva described in Emden, 1935, 1951, but with characters of antenna, epipharynx and mouthparts not clarified) by the following points: left mandible without large inner tooth; sternite 10 with distinct raster which is interrupted on median line by a smooth longitudinal strip; tibiotarsus about twice as long as wide (as in Figulus and Nigidius), not extremely short; plectrum being a single row of the conjoined tubercles; par stridens without granules outside of main row; the two setae of the claw inserted side by side (as in Nigidius), not behind each other. As a conclusion, Xizangia differs from Figulus, Cardanus and Nigidius by having left mandible without large inner tooth, sternite 10 with raster interrupted on median line by a smooth longitudinal strip, plectrum being a single row of the conjoined tubercles, and par stridens without granules outside of main row. This may indicate that Penichrolucanini is separable from Figulini in systematics also by larval characters, but more species of both tribes need to be examined in future. Pupa (Fig. 58) as figured. Biological notes (Figs. 59–67). All adults and third instar larvae (Figs. 64, 66) of Xizangia qiuae, new species were found in a large fallen wood (Fig. 62), immediately below the bottom of an ant nest. The fallen wood was found in a tea field (Fig. 60) in a tropical montane evergreen broad-leaved forest area (Fig. 59) at 1600m. The ants were identified as Dolichoderus sp. (Fig. 67) (Hymenoptera: Formicidae: Dolichoderinae), being close to Dolichoderus incisus Xu, 1995 (Type locality: Lincang, Yunnan). The nest of the Dolichoderus ant was located at the center of the log, consisting of layers of shells; most parts of the log were not decayed. Adults (Fig. 65) and larvae (mostly in cocoon, see Fig. 66) of Xizangia qiuae, new species were gathered in the decayed part of the wood just below the ant nest, not inside the ant nest. The ants (Figs. 61, 63) did not visit the part where Xizangia qiuae, new species lived but would attack Xizangia qiuae, new species if the wall between the ant nest and the Xizangia nest was broken. Also Aegus taurus Boileau, 1899 (Lucanidae) was found living together with Xizangia qiuae, new species in the decayed part of the wood. According to Geiselhardt et al. (2007), the following Paussinae taxa have been recorded as the guests of the Dolichoderini ants (Dolichoderinae): Homopterus steinbachi Kolbe, 1920, Arthropterus sp., Paussus thomsonii Reiche, 1860 and Paussus cochlearius Westwood, 1838; only Homopterus steinbachi Kolbe 1920 in Neotropical Region is recorded as the guest of the Dolichoderus ants., Published as part of Huang, Hao & Chen, Chang-Chin, 2022, Rediscovery of the myrmecophilous Lucanid genus Xizangia Zhang, 1988 from southwest China (Coleoptera: Scarabaeoidea: Lucanidae), pp. 517-549 in Zootaxa 5116 (4) on pages 519-538, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5116.4.3, http://zenodo.org/record/6375321, {"references":["Zhang, Y. - W.

However, this collection had been dispersed and we could not locate the holotype despite our efforts. Another female specimen illustrated in the book of Yu et al. (2002) also cannot be located. Therefor this is probably the third known specimen and the first record of the male. The endophallic structure of this species is characterized by MPH rather robust and short with relatively long CT+PB, CT+PB longer than MT and anterior bulb of PB strongly developed. It is superficially resembles Anoplophora wusheana and its relatives, but immediately distinguished from them by apical bulb (ab) of APH elongate and subcylindrical instead of shortened and barrel-shaped., Published as part of Bi, Wen-Xuan, Chen, Chang-Chin & Ohbayashi, Nobuo, 2020, Notes on the poorly known Anoplophora species, with description of one new species from South China (Coleoptera, Cerambycidae, Lamiinae), pp. 265-274 in Zootaxa 4853 (2) on pages 272-273, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4853.2.7, http://zenodo.org/record/4410693, {"references":["Gressitt, J.

Male endophallus in everted condition (Fig. 12) long and slender, about 3.8 times as long as median lobe; relative lengths of APH: MPH: BPH: PB: CT: MT = 1.0: 3.6: 0.8: 0.4: 1.5: 1.8. MPH curved dorsally near middle, thence weakly curved ventrally toward apex; subdivided into MT, CT and PB by constrictions; MT evenly cylindrical; CT elongate, strongly swollen latero-ventrally at base with small spicules, then gradually expanded before basal third; PB with anterior bulb moderately developed. APH with apical bulb (ab) ca. 0.5 times as long as apical bubble (bb); apical bulb weakly sclerotized, short inverted trapezoid, surface with surface with microspinules irregular, not forming transverse rows, which becoming denser apically; bb strongly prominent at base forming a ventral bulge, provided with a pair of apical rod-like sclerite which is about half of its length. Distribution. China: Henan, Hunan, Shaanxi, Guangxi (new Province record). Remarks. As the southernmost distribution of this species, the population from Guangxi with relatively more reduced pronotal and elytral (basal) maculae, which represents an extreme form of intraspecific variation. The endophallic structure of this species is unique among all studied species of the genus in having a rather elongate CT, and bb of APH provided with a distinct ventral bulge at base., Published as part of Bi, Wen-Xuan, Chen, Chang-Chin & Ohbayashi, Nobuo, 2020, Notes on the poorly known Anoplophora species, with description of one new species from South China (Coleoptera, Cerambycidae, Lamiinae), pp. 265-274 in Zootaxa 4853 (2) on page 268, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4853.2.7, http://zenodo.org/record/4410693, {"references":["Chiang, S. - N.

Zhong-Liang Jiang (CCCC); 1 male, Vietnam, Yên Bái Prov. 2015.V, local collector (CBWX). Complementary description. Male (Fig. 7). Body length 20.1–21.5 mm, humeral width 7.4–7.9 mm. General appearance similar to the female described by Bi & N. Ohbayashi (2015). Body slightly slenderer. Antenna about 1.7 times of body length. Legs relatively longer and thicker. The scale-like pubescence on body, elytra and appendages colored with pale or yellowish. One individual from Leishan, Guizhou has the elytral anteromedian band separated into two transverse narrow strips and subapical transverse band interrupted near suture. Endophallus in everted condition (Fig. 13) moderately long, about 3.9 times as long as median lobe; relative lengths of APH: MPH: BPH: PB: CT: MT = 1.0: 1.4: 0.3: 0.2: 0.5: 0.8. BPH curved dorsally before middle; subdivided into MT, CT and PB by constrictions; MT evenly cylindrical or weakly swollen near apex; CT cylindrical, with lateral to ventral surface covered with minute spicules at base; PB with anterior bulb moderately developed. APH with apical bulb (ab) slightly shorter than apical bubble (bb); apical bulb moderately sclerotized, elongate and subcylindrical; surface with microspinules arranged in distinct transverse rows, which are getting denser apically; bb apically provided with a pair of rod-like sclerite which is slightly longer than half the length of ab. Distribution. China: Yunnan; Guizhou (new Province record), Vietnam (new Country record): Yên Bái. Remarks. Color of scale-like pubescence of two studied male specimens on body, appendages and elytra are pale or yellowish, instead of turquoise on the female holotype. This inconsistent situation would be color fading caused by suboptimal preservation of the specimen. Such kind of color fading also has been observed in Anoplophora multimaculata (Xie & Wang, 2015) collected from Zhejiang. The endophallic structure of this species similar to Anoplophora wusheana Chang, 1960; A. quadrifasciatus (Bi & N.

Male (Fig. 8). Body length 20.5���22.5 mm, humeral width 7.9���8.2 mm. General appearance similar to the female described by Xie & Wang (2015). Antenna about 1.7 times of body length. Legs relatively longer and thicker. The male endophallus in everted condition (Fig. 14) is almost identical to that of Anoplophora wusheana or A. quadrifasciatus (Bi & N. Ohbayashi 2015, Fig. 9, 10). Distribution. China: Hubei, Zhejiang (new Province record). Remarks. This species was originally described under the genus Mimonemophas Breuning, 1961 based on a single female. Bi & N. Ohbayashi (2015) synonymized Mimonemophas with Anoplophora, and Lin & Lingafelter (2018) transferred this species also to Anoplophora. The endophallus of this species shows no significant difference from Anoplophora quadrifasciata or A. wusheana, and therefore the transference is confirmed. And the abovementioned three species together with A. cheni are thought to compose a species group by the similarities of both external and endophallic morphology. The living individuals or fresh specimens from Zhejiang are observed with the elytral scale-like pubescence bright blue in coloration, which is gradually turning into bluish-grey when the specimens are dried, or becoming pale or yellowish upon excessive contact with liquids such as alcohol, ethyl acetate or water., Published as part of Bi, Wen-Xuan, Chen, Chang-Chin & Ohbayashi, Nobuo, 2020, Notes on the poorly known Anoplophora species, with description of one new species from South China (Coleoptera, Cerambycidae, Lamiinae), pp. 265-274 in Zootaxa 4853 (2) on page 272, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4853.2.7, http://zenodo.org/record/4410693, {"references":["Xie, G. - L., Huang, J. - H., Wang, W. - K. & Xiang, L. - B.

Zhao (CCCC); 1 male, ditto except 1,370 m, 2017.VII.25 (CCCC); 1 female, Guangdong, Shaoguan, Ruyuan, Nanling, 2008.VII, leg. Lei Gao (CCCC). Description. Male (Figs. 1, 2). Body length 25.0–30.0 mm, humeral width 9.4–11.3 mm. Integument of body and appendages blackish, elytra blackish with weak bluish green sheen. Head with mandibles, frons, genae and vertex very sparsely covered with pale to bluish short appressed pubescence; temples densely covered with pale pubescence. Antennae with scape and pedicel covered with pale bluish pubescence though relatively sparse on scape; remaining antennomeres annulated by same kind of pubescence at each extreme apex and base; the annulation becoming broader apically and apical 4 antennomeres almost fully covered by the pubescence especially on dorsal surface. Pronotum mostly glabrous, very sparsely covered with pale to bluish pubescence near lateral margins. Scutellum moderately clothed with bluish pubescence. Elytra mostly glabrous; each elytron provided with several small maculae of whitish to bluish pubescence which are roughly arranged in 4–5 transverse rows and intermixing additional ones along suture, and a relatively large incomplete oval spot along apical margin. Ventral surface predominantly covered with fine pale pubescence, except for posterior angle of metaventrite, sides of abdominal ventrite I–V with bluish pubescence forming bright maculae (sometimes very vague). Legs mostly covered with pale short pubescence, and provided with bluish pubescence on basal half of meso- and metatibiae, and dorsum of tarsi. Body elongated oval in general proportion. Head slightly narrower than pronotal base; lower eye lobe 1.4 times as long as gena; labrum about 1.4 times as wide as long with emarginated apical margin; frons slightly wider than height, with a fine median groove extending from anterior margin to occiput; vertex moderately concave with developed antennal insertions. Antennae moderately long and slender, ca. 1.8–1.9 times as long as body length, with apical 5 antennomeres surpassing elytral apices; scape feebly thickened from middle to apex, with distinct cicatrix; antennomere III 2 times as long as scape, 1.2 times as long as IV, 1.4 times as long as V; relative lengths of antennomeres as follows: 5.0: 1.0: 10.0: 8.1: 7.0: 6.7: 6.6: 6.2: 5.8: 5.4: 7.3. Pronotum glabrous, 0.8 times as long as the basal width, lateral spine conical with subacute apex, directed laterally, disk with median callus moderately developed, with a few umbilicated granules and rugosities at sides. Scutellum broadly rounded posteriorly. Prosternum with procoxal cavities closed posteriorly. Mesoventral process provided with a developed median tubercle. Elytra elongate, ca. 1.7 times as wide as pronotal base, 1.9 times as long as the humeral width, distinctly widest across humeri, then gradually convergent toward conjointly rounded apices; disk provided with granules of variable size (ca 35 to 45 for each elytron) at base area to humeri; remaining surface smooth with very indistinct microreticulations and sparse fine punctures which are lacking any hairs or setae. Legs moderately long and stout, metafemora hardly extending ventrite IV. Endophallus in everted condition (Fig. 10) moderately long, about 3.4 times as long as median lobe; relative lengths of APH: MPH: BPH: PB: CT: MT = 1.0: 2.1: 0.5: 0.6: 0.4: 1.2. BPH with crescent-shaped sclerites (cs) on the apicalmost. MPH strongly curved dorsally near middle; subdivided into MT, CT and PB by constrictions; MT cylindrical, weakly expanded apically; CT with basal-lateral swellings and ventral surface covered with minute spicules; PB with anterior bulb strongly developed. APH clearly divided into apical bulb (ab) and apical bubble (bb). Apical bulb barrel-shaped, ca. 1.6 times as long as maximum width, slightly swollen near basal third, moderately sclerotized; surface with microspinules irregular, not forming transverse rows, which are getting denser apically. Apical bubble provided with a pair of apical rod-like sclerite which is about half of its length, ca. 2.5 times as long as maximum width in dorsal view (Fig. 10a). Female (Fig. 3). Body length 36.5 mm, humeral width 12.8 mm. Almost identical to male in general appearance. Antennae ca. 1.5 times of body length, with base and apices of antennomeres III-XI evenly annulated by pale blue pubescence. Elytra with pubescent maculae more evenly scattered, hardly arranged in transverse rows. Ventral surface with bright pubescent maculae more distinct. Legs relatively slenderer and shorter. Etymology. From the Latin sîdereus, meaning starry, referring to the elytral appearance. Distribution. China: Guangxi (Huanjiang County; Jinxiu County), Guangdong (Ruyuan County). Remarks. This new species similar to Anoplophora elegans (Gahan, 1888), A. chiangi Hua & Zhang, 1991, A. imitator (White, 1855), and A. similis by the distinctive antennal banding, but can be readily separated from A. elegans and A. imitator due to the numerous granules at the elytral base (instead of with a few or absent). Also, A. siderea differs from A. similis by the pronotum lacking a pubescent macula, and also by lacking long erect hairs or setae arising from punctures. It is most similar to A. chiangi with regard to the overall form of the endophallic structures (Bi & N. Ohbayashi 2015, Fig. 11), but it is distinguishable by bright pubescent maculae on temples, elytra, metaventrite and abdominal ventrites instead of being glabrous; elytra with bluish green sheen instead of nearly blackish, surface smooth, with microreticulation almost imperceptible instead of pronounced. The arrangement of the elytral maculae of this new species is variable from roughly in 4–5 transverse rows to nearly evenly scattered and hardly arranged in rows. The former is found in the population of western area of their distributional range, e.g. Xing’an County (Fig. 1) or Jinxiu County (Fig. 2) of Guangxi Province. The latter is found in one female from Ruyuan County of Gaungdong Province (Fig. 3), the easternmost locality of this species. These differences of elytral maculae are merely considered as intraspecific variation in this study., Published as part of Bi, Wen-Xuan, Chen, Chang-Chin & Ohbayashi, Nobuo, 2020, Notes on the poorly known Anoplophora species, with description of one new species from South China (Coleoptera, Cerambycidae, Lamiinae), pp. 265-274 in Zootaxa 4853 (2) on pages 267-268, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4853.2.7, http://zenodo.org/record/4410693, {"references":["Hua, L. - Z. & Zhang, X. - K.

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).

Motuotrichius yangi Huang & Chen, new species (Figs. 1���22) Type material. Holotype (Figs. 1���3): CHINA: ♂, SE Tibet, Motuo County, Hanmi, ca. 2100m, 29.VII.2011, X.- D. Yang leg. (Entomological Laboratory of Shanghai Normal University, Shanghai, China). Paratypes (2 ♂♂, 5 ♀♀ in total): CHINA: 1 ♀, SE Tibet, Motuo County, Hanmi, 2000m, 9.VIII.2005, Hao Huang leg. (Canadian Museum of Nature, Ottawa, Canada); 1 ♂, 2 ♀♀, same label data as holotype except, 4.VIII.2011 (C.-C. Chen Collection, H. Huang Collection); 1 ♂, 2 ♀♀, SE Tibet, Motuo County, 80k, 12.VIII.2012, X.- D. Yang leg. (H. Huang Collection). Etymology. This new species is named in honor of Mr. Xiao-Dong Yang, our good friend who collected the male specimens of this new species. Holotype description. The generic characters mentioned above will not be repeated herein. Length of pronotum-elytra measured from apex of pronotum to the caudal end of elytra: 10.2 mm. Entire body slender like in Indotrichius Krikken, 2009 species. Head including clypeus, eyes and antennae similarly shaped as in Indotrichius ornatus (Jordan, 1895), but with the following differences: clypeus with lateral margins more parallel, not contracted forwards; dorsal surface of head dark green and unmarked, with clypeus metallic; antenna testaceous, with first antennomere and club somewhat green. Pronotum similarly shaped as in Epitrichius fraterculus, with basolateral corner of pronotum distinctly deflexed; dark green in color and unmarked; heavily punctate everywhere, with white, subappressed setae along lateral margins. Scutellum semicircular and transverse, dark green. Elytra glabrous to the naked eyes and similarly shaped as in Indotrichius ornatus, but a little longer than in the latter; each elytron with 10 complete longitudinal series of irregular punctures, and with additional incomplete series of punctures between first and second striae (counting from suture); interspaces between striae rather flat, sparsely dusted with minute punctures; each elytron with a large anterior orange patch and a small posterior orange patch on the dark green base. Pygidium yellow with midline unmarked, evenly clad with erect, fine setae. Legs slender, with the dorsal surface of protibia dark metallic green, and with all other parts of legs black on dorsal surface, not in great contrast with the body as in Indotrichius ornatus. Ventral surface of the body and the legs black and concolorous. Pilosity of ventral surface of body well developed and pale yellow. Male genitalia (Figs. 15���22): parameres simple, symmetric, depressed, and without branches. Internal sac pigmented and clad with microsetae at middle and apex, without lateral patches formed by larger and darker scales (internal sac of Indotrichius ornatus (Fig. 23) bears three well-separated, large patches formed by markedly larger scales than in Motuotrichius yangi). Description of male paratypes. Individual variation is found in the size of the orange patches on the elytra, which can be smaller than in the holotype or entirely absent (Fig. 4). Description of female paratypes (Figs. 5���6). Sexual dimorphism is only found in the size of the orange patches on the elytra: the anterior patches of female are nearly half as long as elytra, markedly longer than in male. Remarks. The little-known species Trichius dombrowskii Nonfried, 1906 from Manipur, India was described by Arrow (1910) based on a translation of the original description by Nonfried (1906) to have the following characters distinguishable from Motuotrichius yangi: 1) ���length 16 mm ���; 2) body ���shining coppery red beneath���; 3) pronotum ���lightly channelled along the middle���; 4) pronotum ���bearing an impression, consisting of closely set punctures, and opaque��� near ���base of the scutellum���; 5) pronotum green in colour, ���the sides having a white margin, with a spot of the same nature almost in the middle���; 6) ���elytra dull green, white-spotted���; 7) ���pygidium coppery red, closely shagreened, with a large round white spot on each side���; 8) ���sides of the abdominal segments white-spotted���; 9) ���legs slender, coppery red���; 10) ���front tibiae bidentate���. Based on the original description translated by Arrow (1910), Trichius dombrowskii should be placed in the genus Tibiotrichius Miyake, 1994. Field observations. The new species is sympatric with Indognorimus costipennis and Indotrichius gorodinskii in the Motuo area of southeastern Tibet. However, it occurs in higher elevations than Indognorimus costipennis and Indotrichius gorodinskii. The first specimen of Motuotrichius yangi was captured by the first author using a high net from the canopy of a forest at Hanmi, Motuo. The others were observed perching on the leaves of plants., Published as part of Huang, Hao & Chen, Chang-Chin, 2016, Motuotrichius yangi, a new genus and species from southeastern Tibet, China (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Cetoniinae: Trichiini), pp. 365-372 in Zootaxa 4205 (4) on pages 369-372, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4205.4.5, http://zenodo.org/record/197169, {"references":["Krikken, J.
