During the surveys of air fungi in Beijing, China, a new ascomycetous black yeast-like species was isolated. Morphological and phylogenetical analyses of combined internal transcribed spacer (ITS) and the large ribosomal subunit (LSU) showed that it can be recognized as a new species of the genus Aureobasidium. Herein, Aureobasidium aerium sp. nov. is proposed and illustrated.

Etymology. The Latin adjective “ zibroides ” means “zebra like”, referring to the banded color pattern of the elytra of the new species. “ ṀḦAEk† (Pinyin: Ban Ma Xing Tian Niu)” is proposed for the Chinese common name of this new species. Host plant. Symplocos trees [ƜOiRDzhv] (Fig. 13D). Field observations. Living female is shown in Fig. 13E and habitat at Shilipingtan is shown in Fig. 13C. Distribution. China (Hunan and Guangxi). Differential diagnosis. Anoplophora zibroides sp. nov. belongs to bowringii / lurida / beryllina species group. The larger size, the present of pale annulate antennomere bases, the large cicatrix of scape, and the irregularlysized and spaced elytral granules distinguish the new species from A. lurida (Pascoe, 1857), and these characters are shared with A. beryllina (Hope, 1840) and A. bowringii (White, 1858). A. zibroides sp. nov. with lateral spines of pronotum distinctly stouter, directing laterally; basal granules of elytra distinctly sparser. While the latter two species with lateral spines of pronotum somewhat more slender, directing lateroposteriorly; basal granules of elytra distinctly denser. Moreover, the new species has greyish white to bluish white pubescence, while most A. bowringii has blue pubescence with turquoise being less common and A. beryllina has turquoise pubescence being more common. And the new species has 3–4 glabrous rows on the elytron, while A. beryllina commonly has 8 rows, and A. bowringii has 5–6 rows.

Etymology. The Latin adjective “ iadina ” means “emerald like”, referring to the emerald green elytral coloration of the new species. “ ṅAEk† (Pinyin: Fei Xing Tian Niu)” is proposed for the Chinese common name of this new species. Host plant. Acer trees [DZRDzhv]. Field observations. Living female is shown in Fig. 13A and living pupa in pupal chamber is shown in Fig. 13B. Distribution. China (Yunnan). Differential diagnosis. Anoplophora iadina sp. nov. belongs to glabripennis species group, which including 7 known species: A. coeruleoantennata (Breuning, 1946), A. fanjingensis Yang, Yang & Tian, 2020, A. flavomaculata (Gressitt, 1935), A. freyi (Breuning, 1947), A. glabripennis (Motschulsky, 1854), A. puxian Wang & He, 2021, and A. rugicollis Wang, Xie & Wang, 2022. The new species is most similar to A. freyi (Figs. 2C, G), A. puxian (Figs. 2D, H) and A. rugicollis (Figs. 2B, F), on account of their common characters: elytra shiny with metallic luster (A. coeruleoantennata, A. flavomaculata and A. glabripennis black or blackish without metallic luster) and antennae with pubescent annulations (A. fanjingensis uniformly black without pubescent annulations). A. iadina sp. nov. vs A. freyi (Breuning, 1947): pronotum with transverse wrinkles in the new species, while smooth without wrinkles in the latter (Fig. 2A vs Fig. 2C); frons, genae, vertex, scape, pedicel and lateral parts of pronotum with some moderately long, suberect, blackish setae in the new species, while almost glabrous in the latter; antennae with different pubescence colors (more obvious in females). A. iadina sp. nov. vs A. puxian Wang & He, 2021: pronotum with transverse wrinkles in the new species, while relatively smooth in the latter (Fig. 2A vs Fig. 2D); elytra with obviously different macula patterns, the row at the level of metacoxae transversely merged into a line in A. puxian (Fig. 2E vs Fig. 2H); antennae with different pubescence colors (more obvious in females). A. iadina sp. nov. vs A. rugicollis Wang, Xie & Wang, 2022: transverse wrinkles on pronotum are clearer and denser in A. rugicollis (Fig. 2A vs Fig. 2B); elytra almost without maculae in basal 1/ 4 in the new species, while maculae substantially present in basal 1/ 4 in the latter (Fig. 2E vs Fig. 2F); elytral maculae very small in the new species, while obviously larger and subelliptical in in the latter (Fig. 2E vs Fig. 2F).
