To date, only the type species of the genus, P. fruhstorferi Breuning, 1956 has been known. Two species of the genus Mesoereis Matsushita, 1933, M. tonkinensis Breuning, 1938 and M. ob- scurus Matsushita, 1933, are transferred to the genus Paragolsinda by the features of external structure judged from the photographs of the type specimen of P. fruhstorferi. A new species, Paragolsinda siamensis sp. nov. from Northern Thai- land, is described. The structures of endophallus except for the type species are described with illustrations. The terminol- ogy for the structure of endophallus employed in our previous paper is partly modified in accordance with recent references. Key words: Cerambycidae, Mesosini, endophallus, endophallic terminology, new species, new combination, Paragolsin- da, Mesoereis, key Introduction The genus Paragolsinda was established by Breuning (1956) based on a Vietnamese species, P. fruhstorferi Breun- ing, 1956. Since then, no one has referred to this genus except for Breuning (1959). In the course of our studies of Asian Mesosini, we examined the male genitalia of several species related to this genus. As a result, we concluded that Mesoereis tonkinensis Breuning, 1938 and M. obscurus Matsushita, 1933 should be transferred to the genus Paragolsinda.

Linsley Gressitt Of the Lingnan Natural History Survey and Museum Lingnan University, Canton, China EIGHT PLATES The present report is in the nature of a classification of the longicorn, or long-horned, beetles hitherto collected on Hainan Island, as far as available to the writer. A large part of the material on which the work has been based is included in the collections of the Lingnan Natural History Museum of Lingnan University, Canton, made on various expeditions, principally by F. K. To in 1932 and 1935, by Prof. W. E. Hoffmann, Mr. 0. K. Lau, and Dr. F. A. McClure in 1932, and by the Fifth Hainan Island Expedition of the University in 1929, as well as on col- lections made by myself on my trip (34) to the island during the summer of 1935. The remainder of the material studied includes, among others, part of the collection made by Mr. J. Whitehead in 1899, and the specimens collected by Commander G. Ros in the spring of 1936. A list of localities is given at the end, in addition to the map, in order to facilitate the identification of place names used. I am deeply grateful to Professor W. E.

  • The Longhorn Beetles (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) of the City of Kragujevac (Central Serbia)
    Kragujevac J. Sci. 37 (2015) 149-160 . UDC 591.9:595.768.1(497.11) THE LONGHORN BEETLES (COLEOPTERA: CERAMBYCIDAE) OF THE CITY OF KRAGUJEVAC (CENTRAL SERBIA) Filip Vukajlovi ć and Nenad Živanovi ć Institute of Biology and Ecology, Faculty of Science, University of Kragujevac, Radoja Domanovi ća 12, 34000 Kragujevac, Republic of Serbia E-mails: [email protected], [email protected] (Received March 31, 2015) ABSTRACT. This paper represents the contribution to the knowledge of the longhorn beetle (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) fauna of the City of Kragujevac (Central Serbia). Ba- sed on the material collected from 2010 to 2014 by authors, as well as on available litera- ture data, 66 species and 13 subspecies from five subfamilies were recorded, while the highest number of species is registered within the subfamilies Cerambycinae (26) and La- miinae (19). Four species are rarely found in Serbia: Vadonia moesiaca (Daniel & Daniel, 1891), Stictoleptura cordigera (Füsslins, 1775), S. erythroptera (Hagenbach, 1822), and Isotomus speciosus (Schneider, 1787). Subspecies Saphanus piceus ganglbaueri Branc- sik, 1886 is Balkan endemic. Six of recorded taxa [Cerambyx (Cerambyx ) cerdo cerdo Linnaeus, 1758, Morimus asper funereus (Mulsant, 1863), Agapanthia kirbyi (Gyllenhal, 1817), Cortodera flavimana flavimana (Waltl, 1838), Vadonia moesiaca and Saphanus piceus ganglbaueri ] are protected both nationally and internationally. The largest number of recorded taxa belong to Euro-Mediterranean (26) and Euro-Siberian (21) chorotypes. This suggests that both the habitats and climate in the City of Kragujevac and Central Serbia are increasingly assuming more sub-Mediterranean and subtropical features, primarily due to the negative human impact. Keywords: Cerambycidae, fauna, Kragujevac, chorotypes, Central Serbia.

ZooKeys 691: 103–148. https://doi.org/10.3897/zookeys.691.12880 Abstract A new subspecies of the European cerambycid Saperda populnea (Linnaeus, 1758) is described: Saperda populnea lapponica ssp. n. based on specimens from Scandinavia. The male genitalia characters were examined and found to provide support for this separation, as well as differences in morphology, geographical distribution and bionomy. The preferred host tree for the nominate subspeciesS. populnea populnea is Populus tremula L., whereas S. populnea lapponica ssp. n. is considered to be monophagous on Salix lapponum L.

To the knowledge of long-horned beetles (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) of the Oriental Region. Part 2. Acta Biol. Univ. Daugavp., 19 (2): 287 – 295. New distributional records are presented for 85 little-known species of long-horned beetles (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) of the Oriental Region. Findings of five species presents the first faunistic data after the original description: Callimetopus bumbierisi Barševskis, 2018, C. juliae Barševskis, 2016, C. miroshnikovi Barševskis, 2016, Pseudodoliops elegans apoensis Barševskis, 2019, Synixais willietorresi Barševskis, 2018.
