A new species of Buprestis L., 1758, B. pinyoni Westcott and Burfitt (Coleoptera: Buprestidae), is described from Arizona, New Mexico, and Utah. It is compared to other species in the subgenus Buprestis. Key words. Taxonomy, Buprestini, jewel beetles, pinyon pine. Introduction Trapping programs conducted by the Utah Department of Agriculture and Food to detect exotic woodborers, such as the destructive emerald ash borer, Agrilus planipennis Fairmaire, 1888 (Coleoptera: Buprestidae), resulted in the discovery of a single specimen of a new species in the genus Buprestis Linnaeus, 1758, from southwestern Utah. Subsequently, more specimens were located in material bor- rowed from museum collections, and these led to more focused placement of traps in hope of capturing additional specimens. Overall, 18 additional specimens became available for study, all but one being female. Most were from traps, and most were imperfect, some grossly so. Only three specimens had been collected alive in Nature. Materials and Methods Traps employed in this study included Lindgren funnels with various baits (see paratype data) and purple panel traps. Field collecting by beating suspected hosts, pinyon pines, was limited and unsuc- cessful in finding the target species. Plant names are taken from USDA, NRCS (2020).

Each elytron with surface uneven, a large quadrate shallowly depressed area at about middle, formed by transverse raised ridges; striae finely impressed, more prominent on basal half, minutely and indistinctly punctured; intervals mostly well-defined, distinctly yet about equally elevated, with some portions flattened, punctures fine and irregularly scattered.Prosternum with anterior portion at middle finely sparsely punctate, the setae indistinct, becoming moderately coarsely reticulate-punctate at sides and with distinct setae, process with scattered indistinct punctures, the setae minute. Foretibia armed with a prominent retrorse sagittate tooth.

Frey 26, 1975 87 A revision of the genus Dicerca in North America (Coleoptera: Buprestidae) Von G. H. Nelson, Kansas City Abstract: The genus Dicerca, in the tribe Buprestini, is placed nearest the ge- nera Poecilonota and Tracbykele based on larval and adult morphology. The external morphology of 8500 specimens including the genitalia of the males, the geographical distribution, and host plant data reveals 27 valid species which are arranged in 7 groups. Twenty-one new synonymies are listed, D. frosti Nelson is reduced to a subspecies of D. callosa Casey, D. cajonensis Knüll is elevated to spe- cific Standing and the subspecies D. tenebrosa knulli is described as new. Figures of all species not previously well illustrated are given and a key to the species and sub- species is included. Introduction The North American species of Dicerca have been in a confused taxono- mic State for many years. The last revision was by T. L. Casey (1909) and included 46 new species and subspecies names, mostly based on minor struc- tural variations. This and confusion about the Status of some earlier descri- bed species have made it increasingly difficult to assign names with any con- fidence. Several species are secondary invaders of trees commonly used for lumber, shade, or fruit so are considered of some economic importance.

REEVALUATION OF CHALCOPHORA ANGULICOLLIS (LECONTE) AND CHALCOPHORA VIRGINIENSIS (DRURY) WITH A REVIEW AND KEY TO THE NORTH AMERICAN SPECIES OF CHALCOPHORA DEJEAN (COLEOPTERA:BUPRESTIDAE) CRYSTAL A. MAIER Division of Entomology Department of Ecology & Evolutionary Biology University of Kansas 1501 Crestline Drive, Suite 140 Lawrence, KS 66045, U.S.A. AND MICHAEL A. IVIE Montana Entomology Collection 1601 S. 19th Ave., Room 50 Marsh Laboratory Montana State University Bozeman, MT 59717-3020, U.S.A. [email protected] ABSTRACT Chalcophora angulicollis (LeConte) and Chalcophora virginiensis (Drury) are shown to be valid allopatric species in the western and eastern forests of North America, respectively. The historic uncertainty regarding their status is reviewed, and new characters of the aedeagus, penultimate maxillary palpomere, and elytral serrations are utilized for their identification. This information is combined with redescriptions, diagnoses, illustrations, and a key for all species of Chalcophora Dejean in North America north of Mexico. Key Words: taxonomy, metallic wood-boring beetles, Nearctic, key, coniferous forests Chalcophora Dejean, 1833 (see Bellamy 2003 (Bellamy 2003, 2008): Chalcophora fortis for information on the correct authorship of the LeConte, Chalcophora georgiana (LeConte), genus) includes a group of common, rather large, Chalcophora liberta (Germar), and the prob- and economically important species in North lematic pair C. angulicollis and C. virginiensis. America (Bright 1987), but the status of two of Kerremans (1909) synonymized the latter two these species, the western Chalcophora angulicollis of these North American Chalcophora species, (LeConte) and eastern Chalcophora virginiensis proposing one transcontinental species under the (Drury), has been confused.

  • Supplementary Review of the Genus Philocteanus DEYR. Sl
    Procrustomachia Occasional Papers of the Uncensored Scientists Group 3, 2: 17-42 Milanówek 10 VI 2018 ISSN 2543-7747 ___________________________________________________________________________ Supplementary review of the genus Philocteanus DEYR. s.l. (Coleoptera: Buprestidae: Buprestini: Chrysochroina CAST.) Roman B. HOŁYŃSKI PL-05822 Milanwek, ul. Graniczna 35, skr. poczt. 65, POLAND e-mail: [email protected] Introduction The S- and SE-Asian buprestid fauna contains an interesting group, traditionally classified as a series of separate genera divided between the “subfamilies” Chrysochroinae CAST. and Chalcophorinae LAC., but recently (HOŁYŃSKI 2009) – as a result of several rearrangements [see HOŁYŃSKI (2016) for the history] – recognized as subgenera of the single genus Philocteanus DEYR. of the subtribe Chrysochroina CAST. (tribe Buprestini LEACH). General characteristics of the subtribe, genus, and subgenera can be found in my (HOŁYŃSKI 2009) comprehensive elaboration of the Chrysochroina CAST., also some of the subgenera [Micropistus THY. (KUROSAWA 1990), Szentendreya HOŁ. (HOŁYŃSKI 1981, 2016), Cyalithus THS. (HOŁYŃSKI 2014)] have been specially treated in earlier publications – the aim of the present paper is to supplement them with species-level review [keys, description of new species, short diagnoses of other species-group taxa, data on geographical distribution, remarks, photographs] of the remaining ones: Pseudocallopistus OBB., Philocteanus DEYR. s.str., Chrysopistus THY., Epidelus DEYR. and Asemochrysus DEYR.; I also use the occasion to introduce a replacement name for a homonym in Cyalithus THS. Conventions and abbreviations Like in my other publications (unless “corrected” by editors...), I follow the very useful conventions of applying (of course, except wordly citations, where the original form must be retained) SMALL CAPS to all [irrespective of context and full vs.
