Longicornia Malayana; or, a Descriptive Catalogue of the Species of the three Longicorn Families Lamiidæ, Cerambycidæand Prionidæ, collected by Mr. A. R. Wallace in the Malay Archipelago.
... belongs to the subgenus Dihammus, where it is well characterised by medium body size, rounded elytral apex and golden pubescence forming three almost regular brown spots on each elytron. This pattern is very peculiar and is reminiscent of some species of the genus Epepeotes Pascoe, 1866, such as E. lateralis (Guérin-Méneville, 1831), E. diversus Pascoe, 1866 andE. plorator (Newman, 1842), all widespread in Indonesia (Breuning, 1943b). ...
... Concerning the allied species, Acalolepta sexplagiata n. sp. seems to be more closely related to the Philippine A. pseudobianor (Breuning, 1935), while the development of the stable dark pubescence is reminiscent of the Papuan A. tincturata (Pascoe, 1866). In none of these species, however, the golden pubescence is so much developed. ...
... The Philippine A. tysoni Vitali, 2017 is much slenderer, with longer limbs and different elytral pattern (Vitali, 2017a). Other species widespread in New Guinea, such as A. variolaris (Pascoe, 1866) are more elongated and show less developed golden reflections. ...
Several species described in the genus Acalolepta Pascoe, 1858 were analysed. Acalolepta aesthetica (Olliff, 1890); A. artensis (Montrouzier, 1861); A. blairi (Breuning, 1935); A. bolanica (Aurivillius, 1925); A. gracilis (Breuning, 1938); A. puncticeps (Breuning, 1938); A. riouensis (Aurivillius, 1924); A. sculpturata (Aurivillius, 1924); A. timorensis (Breuning, 1935) and A. tugelensis Breuning, 1970
are transferred to the subgenus Dihammus Thomson, 1864. Dihammus bolanicus Aurivillius, 1925 (currently, A. bolanica) is considered as senior synonym of A. parabolanica Breuning, 1980 n. syn. Dihammus timorensis Breuning, 1935 (currently, A. timorensis) is considered as senior synonym of Dihammus similis Breuning, 1938 n. syn. (currently, A. similis) both described from Timor. Its description is updated. New morphological data on A. (Dihammus) longicornis keyensis Breuning, 1965 and
A. (Dihammus) longicornis timorlautensis (Breuning, 1935) are furnished. A. (Dihammus) longicornis
barsevskisi n. ssp. from Babar (Moluccas, Indonesia) and A. (Dihammus) sexplagiata n. sp. from Sulawesi
(Indonesia) are described. Orsidis dispar Pascoe, 1866 (currently, A. dispar) is considered as senior synonym of Orsidis unicolor Fisher, 1935 n. syn. (currently, A. unicolor), both described from Borneo. Metopides Pascoe, 1866 is considered as senior synonym of Pilohammus Vitali, 2019 n. syn. and three species are transferred from Acalolepta, resulting in the following new combinations: Metopides mixtus (Hope, 1841); Metopides ampliatus (Gahan, 1888) and Metopides nivosus (White, 1858). Jeanvoinea annulipes Pic, 1934 is recognised as senior synonym of Dihammus flocculatus paucisetosus Gressitt, 1938
n. syn. (currently, Acalolepta flocculata paucisetosa). Jeanvoinea annulipes annulipes is recorded from China, Laos and India for the first time. Jeanvoinea annulipes flocculata (Gressitt, 1935) n. comb. is introduced for the Taiwanese subspecies. The male genitalia of this genus are shown for the first time.
Jeanvoinea borneensis Breuning, 1961 is transferred to the Bornean genus Pseudodihammus Breuning, 1936 and Pseudodihammus borneensis (Breuning, 1961) n. comb. is introduced.
... The genus Eurymesosa presently consists of five species distributed in East Asia and Southeast Asia (Tavakilian and Chevillotte 2023). It was established by Breuning (1938) within the tribe Mesosini Mulsant, 1839 based on the species Ereis ventralis Pascoe, 1865. Subsequently, Eurymesosa albostictica Breuning, 1962 and Eurymesosa affinis Breuning, 1970 were described from Laos (Breuning 1962(Breuning , 1970, Eurymesosa multinigromaculata Breuning, 1974 was described from Cambodia (Breuning 1974) and Eurymesosa ziranzhiyi Yamasako & Lin, 2016 (only male) was described from China (Yamasako and Lin 2016). ...
... We found that the taxonomic status of E. albostictica, E. affinis, E. multinigromaculata and Mesosa allapsa Pascoe, 1866 [currently a junior synonym of Eurymesosa ventralis (Pascoe, 1865)] are doubtful. Moreover, in some cases the sex of the type specimens was not specified in the original description. ...
... Ereis ventralisPascoe, 1865: 105 (type locality: "Cambodia"). Eurymesosa albosticticaBreuning, 1962:15 (type locality: "Vientiane, Laos");Rondon and Breuning 1970: 319,fig. ...
A taxonomic revision and redescription of the genus Eurymesosa Breuning, 1938 are presented, including a key to species. Three of the five currently accepted species are considered valid: Eurymesosa ventralis (Pascoe, 1865), Eurymesosa allapsa (Pascoe, 1866) and Eurymesosa ziranzhiyi Yamasako & Lin, 2016. Three junior synonyms are proposed for E. ventralis : Eurymesosa albostictica Breuning, 1962, syn. nov. , Eurymesosa affinis Breuning, 1970, syn. nov. , and Eurymesosa multinigromaculata Breuning, 1974, syn. nov. Additionally, E. allapsa (Pascoe, 1866) is resurrected from synonyms of E. ventralis . Females of E. allapsa and E. ziranzhiyi Yamasako & Lin, 2016 are described for the first time.
... established the monotypic genus Souvanna for Souvanna phoumai from Laos (Vientiane). Pascoe (1864) established the genus Athylia for Athylia avara Pascoe, 1864. Gressitt (1940 described Enispia quadristigma from China (Hainan), and Breuning (1960) transferred it to the genus Athylia Pascoe, 1864. ...

Alidus signatus Pic, 1926 is transferred from Mispila to Souvanna , and Souvanna signata (Pic, 1926), comb. nov. is proposed. The lectotype of Alidus signatus is designated. The following synonyms are proposed: Souvanna signata = Athylia ( s. str. ) quadristigma (Gressitt, 1940), syn. nov. = Souvanna phoumai Breuning, 1963, syn. nov. = Mispila (Dryusa) coomani Breuning, 1968, syn. nov. , Mispila ( s. str. ) tenuevittata (Pic, 1930) = Mispila ( s. str. ) assamensis Breuning, 1938, syn. nov. The gender of the holotype of Alidus multilineatus Pic, 1925 is determined. New distributional records for Souvanna signata , Mispila curvilinea Pascoe, 1869, M. subtonkinea Breuning, 1968 and M. tenuevittata are provided.
... Introduction Pascoe (1864) erected the genus Mispila with the type species Mispila venosa Pascoe, 1864. Yan et al. (2023 made a revision of several species of this genus, restoring one synonym to species-level status and proposing two new synonyms, as well as designating two lectotypes. ...

... Comments. Pascoe (1864) gives only 'Batchian' as the type locality for this species, so the specimens from Morty are not considered to be types. ...
Data on the collection of the genus Mispila Pascoe, 1864 (Lamiinae, Pteropliini) deposited in the Natural History Museum, London are presented. Mispila (s. str.) auguralis Pascoe, 1878 is removed from synonymy with Mispila (s. str.) venosa Pascoe, 1864 and considered as a subspecies: Mispila (s. str.) venosa auguralis Pascoe, 1878 stat. rev.. Lectotypes are designated for Mispila (s. str.) obscura Gahan, 1890 and Mispila (Dryusa) flexuosa (Pascoe, 1864). The variation of Mispila venosa venosa Pascoe, 1864 is shown. A total of 20 valid species/subspecies are listed.
... The genus Mispila was established by Pascoe (1864) for Mispila venosa Pascoe, 1864. It currently consists of three subgenera Mispila (s. ...

Sodus tenuevittatus is removed from synonymy with Mispila (s. str.) venosa and considered as bona species: Mispila (s. str.) tenuevittata comb. nov. The following synonymies are pro-
posed: Mispila tenuevittata = Mispila (Dryusa) sonthianae syn. nov. and Mispila (s. str.) tonkinea = Mispila (s. str.) punctifrons syn. nov. New distributional records for M. tenuevittata and M. tonkinea are provided. The lectotypes of M. venosa and M. tonkinea are designated.
... Mimonephelotes enganensis Breuning, 1970 Anhammus luzonicus Breuning, 1982 Pascoe (1866) erected the monobasic genus Nephelotus for N. licheneus Pascoe, 1866, which was described from a female from Sarawak (Borneo). The new genus was characterised with the following description: ...
... While describing Nephelotus, Pascoe (1866) did not take into account Anhammus but considered both genera in the key to the Malayan Lamiinae (Pascoe, 1866). Nephelotus was keyed differently due to the "elytra not toothed at the shoulders", while the original description expressly stated the opposite ("Elytra sub-angustata, humeris in dentem productis"). ...
... Nephelotus Pascoe, 1866= Paranhammus Breuning, 1944 n. syn. Nephelotus marcipor (Newman, 1842) n. comb. ...
Paranhammus Breuning, 1944 and Mimonephelotes Breuning, 1970 (both monotypic genera) are considered junior synonyms of Nephelotus Pascoe, 1866. Mimanhammus Breuning, 1971 is considered an unnecessary replacement name for Mimonephelotes, despite the similarity to Mimonephelotus Breuning, 1940. Resultant combinations are Nephelotus enganensis (Breuning, 1970) and Nephelotus marcipor (Newman, 1842). Anhammus luzonicus Breuning, 1982 is considered a junior synonym of N. enganensis.
... Similosodus atrofasciatus (Pic, 1925) [4] was primarily arranged in the genus Sodus Pascoe with doubt by Pic. The genus Sodus was established by Pascoe (1865) [3] . Due to it was preoccupied by Sodus Amyot, 1846 (Hemiptera), McKenow (1945) [2] proposed the new name Similosodus. ...

... Due to it was preoccupied by Sodus Amyot, 1846 (Hemiptera), McKenow (1945) [2] proposed the new name Similosodus. Breuning (1961) [1] divided the genus of Similosodus into three subgenera: Similosodus (Similosodus) Pascoe 1865 [3]. Similosodus (Transversesodus) Breuning, 1961 [1] and Similosodus (Venosodus) Breuning, 1961 [1]. ...
Similosodus atrofasciatus (Pic, 1925) is recorded from China (Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region) for the first time. The redescription of S. atrofasciatus (Pic, 1925) is given based on the Chinese specimens, and the morphological photographs are provided.
... The genus includes hitherto 24 species, mostly recorded from the Australian Region. It was first introduced by Pascoe, who described four species from the "Moluccas" (Pascoe, 1862(Pascoe, , 1869; now generally known as Maluku). In the last century, one new species was described from New Caledonia (Fauvel, 1906), and 12 species and one subspecies were described from New Guinea (Gressitt, 1951(Gressitt, , 1955(Gressitt, , 1959. ...
... The genitalia of the new species, including the ejaculatory duct complex, are essentially similar to those of already examined species of genera Ceresium, Stenodryas, Examnes and Oxymagis. Pascoe, 1869 (Figs 3A-E; 4A-L) Tethionea unicolor Pascoe, 1869: 543. Type locality: "Aru". ...
... In the original descriptions of T. strumosa and T. tridentata, both male, Pascoe observed that the terminal joints of their maxillary palpi are "rather singular", "the truncate slope commencing nearly from base, so that the greater part of the joints appear to be removed" (Pascoe, 1869). This observation is now confirmed for these two species, as described and illustrated above (Figs 11A-B). ...
Species of Tethionea Pascoe, 1869, Callidiopini, in the collection of Museum of Zoologicum Bogoriense are reviewed. Two new species of the genus are described, T. peggieae sp. nov. and T. oculata sp. nov., both from Papua Province, Indonesia. In addition, T. unicolor Pascoe, T. strumosa Pascoe and T. tridentata Pascoe are redescribed. Their male genitalia are documented and illustrated in detail. In particular, the ejaculatory duct complexes of endophalli are carefully observed, as well as 8th sternites and tergites. For T. oculata sp. nov., the female genitalia are described. Morphological and taxonomical aspects of these species are discussed.

... Examnes Pascoe, 1869, is a much smaller genus than Ceresium and less widely distributed, consisting of 13 hitherto described species from the Oriental and Austro-Asian Regions. Four species of this genus were already examined as to male genitalia (Yokoi et. ...
Species of Ceresium and Examnes , Callidiopini, from the Philippines were reviewed. Six new species, Ceresium elongatipenne sp. nov. , Ceresium holzschuhi sp. nov. , Ceresium jimcopei sp. nov. , Ceresium nigricolle sp. nov. , Ceresium quinquemaculatum sp. nov. , Ceresium crassum sp. nov. and one new subspecies, Ceresium huedepohli mindanao subsp. nov. , are described. Of Examnes , one new subspecies, Examnes lumawigi subrugosus subsp. nov. , is described. Male genitalia of eight Ceresium species and three Examnes species, in particular their endophalli and 8 th sternites, are described and illustrated in detail. Female genitalia of three Ceresium species are described. The genitalia and the consequences for taxonomy are discussed.
... This is not the only tribe with a cicatrix; some tribes are variable while others like Mesosini have a consistent shape. Overall, no morphological diagnostic characters are constant for the Lamiini, as has been discussed as far back as the 1860s (Bates 1861, Pascoe 1864. With the combination of these tribes, much of the ambiguity with specimen assignment to tribe will be relieved with a combination of characters. ...
... These initial divisions relied on very limited numbers of genera, and as available material grew so did opinions on their divisions. Through multiple revisions in the 1860s the number of 66 tribes under the Lamiinae varied from 6 to 35, the genera included under tribes shifted, and subdivisions changed based on divergent opinions concerning the interpretations of morphological characters that vary among and within tribes (Thomson 1860, 1864, Bates 1861).Pascoe(Pascoe 1864) gives a thoughtful discussion of the problem of characterizing higher taxa in the Lamiinae-that none of the tribes he delineates have any uniquely distinguishing features (i.e. synapomorphies) or even diagnostic series of characters. ...
Herbivorous insects make up more than a third of the multicellular species on Earth. The discovery, description, and organization of this diversity is necessary to enable study of the mechanisms involved in the dynamic speciation process of phytophages. In this dissertation, each of these levels is addressed using molecular systematics of the tribe Lamiini and genus Monochamus, and population genomics with a focus on differentiation in the sky island inhabiting pine sawyer, Monochamus clamator. With this data, we have evaluated several variables that could promote herbivore speciation including geography, host-plant diversity, and climate.
The genus Monochamus Dejean has long been considered to be a combination of species that do not belong in the same genus, but morphological characters have failed to delineate natural groups. We are the first to use multi-gene molecular data and coalescent modeling to estimate the phylogeny of this economically-important genus. Monochamus rev. nov. is a monophyletic group of Holarctic conifer-feeding species based on this data. The angiosperm-feeding species currently placed in Monochamus are revealed to belong to other genera. We find that Monochamus is a derived conifer-feeding genus that likely originated in southern Asia in the late Miocene and dispersed over the second Bering Bridge to North America and subsequently diversified. Modern multispecies coalescent species delimitation techniques exposed varied evolutionary histories for current species, that some subspecies are unsupported and others should be elevated to species status, and helped to discover a new species of Monochamus. The approach of phasing nuclear sequences to alleles for phylogeny and delimitation revealed that phylogeny node heights are impacted at multiple taxonomic levels by ambiguity codes in sequences. This can lead to incorrect divergence times and delimit incorrect numbers of species.
The tribe that Monochamus belongs to, the Lamiini, is diverse and shares morphological characteristics with other tribes in the Lamiinae subfamily. We use molecular data to build a “backbone” phylogeny of the Lamiini and related tribes to test for evolutionary independence and determine if any morphological characters support the result. The data supports the tribes Batocerini, Gnomini, Monochamini, and Acridocephalini being synonyms of the Lamiini sensu novo. There are no synapomorphic morphological characters found to support the new tribe, but a group of characters will place most specimens and therefore allow more efficient identifications in this economically impactful and widespread group.
At the population level, we address adaptive processes in Monochamus clamator in the climate-change produced Great Basin sky islands of western North America. With the use of RNA-Seq to build a genomic and gene expression dataset for multiple habitat islands with differing host plant composition, the relationship between genetic differentiation and habitat factors was explored in a geographically explicit framework. Genomic data revealed low genetic differentiation at the island level and a high importance of immigration between islands across the Basin. Multi-matrix regression on factors of geography, host-plant diversity, and environment showed that only the environment has a significant relationship with genetic distance in the beetles. Gene expression measures reveal hundreds of differentially expressed genes between island beetle groups that may be the first sign of adaptation to their habitat.
As a whole, this work contributes novel findings concerning the description, organization, and origins of diversity in herbivorous insects, a hyperdiverse group of organisms.
... Monohammus gravidus was described from Borneo by Pascoe (1858) (this locality was apparently erroneous and was subsequently corrected to "North China" in Pascoe, 1866). Pascoe (1858) mentioned that M. gravidus is rather different in habit from other Monohammi, but evidently allied to Hammaticherus marmoratus Westwood, 1848 (from Himalayan region) and later, Pascoe (1866) established the new genus Meges for that species. ...

Lacordaire (1869) included both M. gravidus and M. marmoratus in that genus (misspelled as Merges) and the latter species was designated as the type species of the genus Pseudomeges described by Breuning (1944). ...
The genus Meges Pascoe, 1866 stat. res. is resurrected from synonyms of Monochamus Dejean, 1821 and is made a senior synonym of Magninia Clermont, 1932 syn. nov. Meges currently contains two species, i.e. Meges gravidus (Pascoe, 1858) and Meges tonkineus (Clermont, 1932) comb. nov. The male of the latter species is described for the first time. A related genus Pseudomeges Breuning, 1944 is investigated for comparison and Pseudomeges aureus Bi, Chen & Lin sp. nov. (金斑伪侎天牛, Jîn bân wěi mǐ tiân niú) is described from Yunnan, China. New localities are reported. Illustrations of habitus, endophallic structures and major diagnostic features for all involved taxa are provided.
... Because of differential characters between Cereopsius and Monohammus, Pascoe (1866) transferred to Cereopsius some members of Monohammus, namely: "M. elpenor Newman", M. quaestor Newman 1842, M. luctor Newman 1842 andM. ...
... Later, Pascoe (1866) separated C. helena and C. histrio by introducing the genera Etymestia Pascoe, 1866 and Othelais Pascoe, 1866, respectively. Breuning (1944a synonymised Etymestia with Cereopsius, while Othelais has remained as a separate genus until now. ...
The catalogue of the genus Cereopsius Pascoe 1857 fauna of the Philippines is provided, with description of a new species, C. erasmus sp. nov. from Mindanao Island. Additional taxonomic and faunistic notes on the other Philippine species are added.
... Lepturinae are a group of Cerambycidae that can be recognized by their peculiar form, especially the head being prolonged behind into a 'neck' (Pascoe, 1869). ...
... Genus Capnolymma was described by Pascoe with Capnolymma stygia from Borneo as the type species. In his epic work, better known as "Longicornia Malayana" Pascoe (1869) gave full diagnosis of the genus in Latin. In brief, these characters are: "head elongated, mandibles produced, eyes coarsely facetted and rounded; antennae situated away from the eyes and longer than the body, scape elongated and apically swollen, segments 3-4 short but rest long and subequal; prothorax campanuliform, laterally subtuberculate to dentate; elytra short, broader at base than prothorax; legs long, femora fusiform" Gahan (1906) also gave a detailed description of the genus Capnolymma and also described Capnolymma cingalensis, as a new species (along with illustration) from Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) in the 'Fauna of British India' volume. ...

The paper presents a survey analysis of the genus Pterolophia Newman, 1842 of the
Philippines. An annotated list of 52 species belonging to 6 subgenera is given.
Key words: Coleoptera, Cerambycidae, Pterolophia, Philippine.
... Tavakilian & Chevillotte (2020) list six species in Atelais. The species Sybra modesta Pascoe, 1865, S. putida Pascoe, 1865 and S. surigaonis Breuning, 1943 do not belong to this genus. S. modesta is a typical Sybra species, as already mentioned in Weigel & Skale (2009). ...
... Iothocera was keyed separately due to its granulated shoulders. Moreover, he transferred Nemophas lethalis Pascoe, 1866, N. incensus Pascoe, 1866, and N. leuciscus Pascoe, 1866 to Dolichoprosopus and two other Nemophasspecies to Anoplophora Hope, 1839. Finally, he synonymised N. ramosi ( Fig. 9) with N. subcylindricus ( Fig.14-15), inverting the priority. ...
Nemophas Thomson, 1864, Iothocera Thomson, 1864 and Dolichoprosopus Ritsema, 1881 are compared and revised with emphasis on the genital morphology. Nemophas is recognised as a older synonym of Iothocera n. syn. Consequently, Apriona tomentosa Bouquet, 1859 is transferred to the genus Nemophas as follows : Nemophas tomentosus (Bouquet, 1859) n. comb. Dolichoprosopus incensus Pascoe, 1866 and Dolichoprosopus leuciscus Pascoe, 1866 are restored within Nemophas as follows: Nemophas incensus Pascoe, 1866 rest. comb. Nemophas leuciscus Pascoe, 1866 rest. comb. Nemophas subcylindricus Aurivillius, 1927 is transferred to Dolichoprosopus as follows: Dolichoprosopus subcylindricus (Aurivillius, 1927) n. comb. Nemophas sumbaensis n. sp. from Sumba (Lesser Sunda) and Nemophas nigriceps n. sp. from Sulawesi are described. A new key to the genus Nemophas is proposed.
... 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 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. ...
Two new species of the genus Glenea Newman, 1842 are described from south India. Glenea vellayaniensis sp. nov. is described from Vellayani, a suburb of Trivandrum district, along the coastline of Kerala, and G. pseudoalbosignatipennis sp. nov. is described from the southern Western Ghats. Glenea vestalis Heller, 1934, previously treated as a junior synonym of G. pulchella Pascoe, 1858, is reinstated as a valid species owing to its differences in morphological and genital characters; in addition, both species are illustrated and revised. Glenea vellayaniensis sp. nov. is provisionally placed under Glenea sensu lato and compared with its morphologically similiar congeners, G. pulchella Pascoe, 1858 and G. vestalis Heller, 1934 along with comments on its generic affinity. Glenea pseudoalbosignatipennis sp. nov. is compared with G. albosignatipennis Breuning, 1950 and G. signaticollis Gahan, 1889 and a note on its life history is provided.

... According to Pascoe (1866), who wrote the descriptive catalogue of cerambycid beetles collected by A.R. Wallace in the Malay Archipelago, Batocera is one of the most difficult genera to identify "owing to various modifications of colour … in many cases it is impossible to distinguish them without the aid of a suit of specimens" (Pascoe 1866: 261). Gilmour and Dibb (1948) first presented a comprehensive revision of the tribe Batocerini that includes the genus Batocera and gave a detailed description of the genus, included every species and subspecies known at that time, and provided a key. ...
We report Batocera lineolata Chevrolat, 1852, based on four records, from Manipur and Nagaland states in Northeast India. These records are the first time this species has been found in India. We also provide a brief redescription of B. lineolata.
In the present paper, the genus Mimomyagrus Breuning, 1970 is synonymized with Combe Thomson, 1864, and Mimomyagrus pfanneri Breuning, 1970 is considered a junior synonym of Combe brianus (White, 1858). The female of Arctolamia sinica Bi & Chen, 2022 is described for the first time and this species is reported as new to Myanmar. Type material of Lamia punctator Fabricius, 1776 [= Anoplophora chinensis (Forster, 1771)], Cerambyx galloprovincialis Olivier, 1800 [= Monochamus galloprovincialis (Olivier, 1800)] and Melanauster granulipennis Breuning, 1938 [= Monochamus guerryi Pic, 1903] are confirmed to be preserved in Natural History Museum, London.

This paper introduces Bityle oriens sp. nov. (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae: Lamiinae: Apomecynini) from Boston, Province of Davao Oriental, Philippines. A catalog of the known species of the genus Bityle is also presented. Coleoptera expeditions need to be undertaken to discover more novel species, especially in the understudied islands of the Philippine archipelago.
A synopsis of the tribe Dorcaschematini in the Philippines consists of sixteen species of Cylindrepomus Blanchard, 1853, and five species and five subspecies of Olenecamptus Chevrolat, 1835. Cylindrepomus peregrinus samarensis Dillon & Dillon, 1948 is placed back as a synonym of C. peregrinus Pascoe, 1858. Distribution data of C. peregrinus is now extended in the Davao Region of Mindanao Island Philippines. A comparison of the
number of species and endemism between several countries in Asia is also provided. A description of Olenecamptus cabrasae sp. nov. from Mindanao Island is presented.
Cerosterna (s. str.) mirabilis n. sp. is described from Sulawesi (Indonesia), extending the distributional area of the genus Cerosterna Dejean, 1835 to the Australian realm. Loxotropoides Fisher, 1935 (type species: Loxotropoides brunnea Fisher, 1935) is removed from the synonymy with Cerosterna and considered as a subgenus. Trichocelosterna Breuning, 1965 (type species: Coelosterna rouyeri Ritsema, 1906) is considered a junior synonym of Loxotropoides since both taxa are characterised by erect elytral pubescence. Consequently, Cerosterna (Loxotropides) rouyeri (Ritsema, 1906) n. comb. and Cerosterna (Loxotropoides) stolzi (Ritsema, 1911) n. comb. are proposed. An annotated updated catalogue of the Cerosterna species, including synonyms and distribution, is added.
Data on the collection of the genus Epepeotes Pascoe, 1866 deposited in the Natural History Museum, London are presented. A total of 23 species/subspecies, including type specimens of 18 names, of them 13 valid, are recorded. Epepeotes uncinatus lineatopunctatus Breuning, 1960 is restored to subspecies-level status. Lectotypes are designated for Epepeotes uncinatus uncinatus Gahan, 1888 and Epepeotes andamanicus Gahan, 1893. Epepeotes luscus luscus (Fabricius, 1787) is newly recorded in Cambodia and Singapore, and Epepeotes uncinatus uncinatus Gahan, 1888 is newly recorded in Bangladesh. Images of the type and other significant specimens are provided for 23 taxa, mainly for the first time.
We present a review of the Australian species of Rhytiphora Audinet-Serville, 1835, the most speciose longhorn beetle (Cerambycidae) genus in Australia. The morphological definition of the genus is updated, including useful features to distinguish Rhytiphora from closely related genera within Niphonini. Key characteristics of the two molecularly determined subclades are also provided. The collaris group of Rhytiphora is revised and Rhytiphora garnetensis sp. nov. is described from Queensland. [...] A number of species complexes that require genetic confirmation before being synonymised (or separated) are discussed. Finally, we provide a new checklist of the Australian Rhytiphora species which, incorporating synonymies and other changes, reduces the total number of species from 206 to 163. [abbreviated]
Les espèces Xixuthrus isyuniarkoi n. sp. et Xixuthrus tarkus n. sp. sont décrites
respectivement de West Papua (Indonésie) et de l’île Umboi (Papouasie Nouvelle-Guinée). Le sous-genre Daemonarthra est mis en synonymie avec le genre Xixuthrus. L’espèce Xixuthruscostatus est attribuée à Waterhouse (1885) alors que le Mallodon costatus de Montrouzier (1855) récupère son statut original dans l’attente de pouvoir étudier les syntypes.
The species Xixuthrus isyuniarkoi sp. nov. and Xixuthrus tarkus sp. nov. are described from West Papua (Indonesia) and Umboi Island (Papua New Guinea) respectively. Subgenus Daemonarthra is brought into synonymy with genus Xixuthrus. The species Xixuthrus costatus is attributed to Waterhouse (1885) while the Mallodon costatus of Montrouzier (1855) recovers its original status while waiting to be able to study the syntypes.
The paper listed 12 species of the genus Ceresium belonging to the tribe Callidiopini from Vietnam. Of the total 12 species, there are 4 species additional recorded for Vietnam’s fauna, viz. Ceresium furtivum Pascoe, 1869; Ceresium nilgiriense Gahan, 1906; Ceresium quadrimaculatum Gahan, 1900; Ceresium rouyeri Pic, 1943. Descriptions of four newly recorded species and a key to species of the genus Ceresium from Vietnam were provided. Notes on the distribution of all species occurring in Vietnam are also given.
ABSTRACT
Members of the family Cerambycidae are commonly called as longhorn beetles and they belong to the
Superfamily Chrysomeloidea. Phelipara moringae (Aurivillius, 1925) and Nupserha fricator (Dalman, 1817)
(Subfamily Lamiinae) are newly recorded insects from Kerala. Among these, Nupserha fricator (Dalman,
1817) is a new record to South India. Phelipara moringae is collected from Gliricidia sepium which is the
new host plant record for the species. Both the species are redescribed with their synonymies, distribution
and pest status.
Key words : Cerambycidae, Gliricidia sepium, Phelipara moringae, Nupserha fricator.
New faunistic data for several species of the genus Cereopsius Pascoe 1857 of Southeast Asia are provided. Specimens are deposited in the Daugavpils University beetle collection (DUBC). Cereopsius aureomaculatus Breuning, 1968 is indicated for the first time in the fauna of Vietnam and Thailand. Cereopsius erasmus Medina, Mantilla, Cabras & Vitali, 2021 is recorded for the first time since the original description.
A new species Clyzomedus pani sp. nov. is described from Beijing, Shaanxi, Henan and Anhui, China. Quercus acutissima Carruth (Fagaceae) is the possible host plant. Images of habitus, external morphology and genitalia are provided. It is one of the currently discovered new species from Capital of China, since for the Biodiversity Survey and Assessment Project of Beijing.
The species of the genus Agnia Newman, 1842 (Agniini) are reviewed with a redescription of the genus and its
species. A new subgenus, Agniella nov. subgen. is described for A. molitor (Aurivillius). Systematic keys are provided to separate
the species and subspecies. A. sulfureomaculata Heller is rehabilitated as a subspecies of A. pulchra Aurivillius. The synonymy
of A. rita Barševskis with A. clara Newman is established. All the species are illustrated, also showing their holotypes.
Morphological and barcoding analyses were performed on the species of the Cereopsius quaestor species-group, defined by the presence of a ring of white pubescence on antennomere V in females. The analysis of male genitalia showed that C. mimospilotus is extremely close to C. quaestor. The low genetic divergence between these two species by comparison with the one measured between other species from the same genus supports that these are a single species. As results, the following taxonomic changes are proposed: Cereopsius quaestor (Newman, 1842) = Cereopsius mimospilotus Breuning, 1980, n. syn. = Cereopsius cabigasi Vives, 2005, n. syn.; Cereopsius tricinctus Pascoe, 1866 bona sp., rest. comb.; Cereopsius luctuosus Pascoe, 1866 bona sp., rest. comb.
The paper presents an arrangement on subgeneric composition of the genus Clytus Laicharting with new subgenera worldwide. As a result of this, a total of 22 subgenera (including the nominotypical subgenus and Sphegoclytus Sama) are determined and described. Clytus is a genus distributed worldwide in Palaearctic, Nearctic, Oriental and ?Australian regions, and it is currently represented with a total of 66 species or 71 species-group taxa (63 species and 8 subspecies) worldwide with 3 species nomina dubia, while with a total of 43 species or 48 species-group taxa (40 species and 8 subspecies) only in the Palaearctic region. Consequently, approximately 92% or 65 of the total 71 species-group taxa, or approximately 96% or 65 of the total 68 species-group taxa except 3 species nomina dubia worldwide of the genus is evaluated with the present study. Accordingly, the 65 species-group taxa of Clytus, 58 (and 7 possible species) are studied, and they are placed into a total of 22 subgenera including 20 newly described subgenera. A key for subgenera of Clytus is given at the end of present text. Known species-group taxa and their subgenera in the geographic regions are also presented into the lists at the end of present text.
A new species, Anaches m-signatus sp. nov. is described from Zhejiang, Hunan and Guangxi Provinces, China. Sthenias semicylindricus Hayashi, 1974 and Sthenias murzini Lazarev, 2020 are synonymized with Anaches medioalbus (Breuning, 1956). Three similar species are compared with additional pictures and descriptions.
Cocoa (Theobroma cacao L.) is an important commercial beverage crop in different parts of Asia, West Africa and South
America. It is also extensively grown in the southern states of India. Recently, we found a significant infestation of Rhaphipodus
subopacus Gahan (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) for the first time on cocoa in Karnataka state, India. We, therefore,
studied the basic biological attributes and nature of damage of this pest on cocoa. This beetle took 14.7 months to complete
its life cycle on cocoa. Rhaphipodus subopacus is closely allied to R. gahani and R. fontanieri. Currently, the adult diagnosis
of these three remarkably similar species is solely based on the morphological characters, which often needs expertise in
taxonomy. Moreover, there is a lack of knowledge on larval (damaging stage) morphology of cerambycid species, which
makes difficulties in pest diagnosis. Therefore, in addition to simplified morphological diagnosis, we also developed a speciesspecific
DNA barcode using mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) gene for stage independent, rapid and
reliable identification of R. subopacus. In this study, male and female genitalia, including observed variations among them,
are copiously described and illustrated. Based on the structure of genitalia, tribal placement of R. subopacus is discussed.
Tribe Clytini (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) is one of the largest within the long horn beetles, having over 1500 species. Until now, the tribe was considered monophyletic, despite the fact that it combines several different morphological groups. Morphological data alone could not shed enough light on the taxonomy and phylogeny of Clytini. The data for the last decade on molecular phylogenetics have challenged the Clytini monophyletic hypothesis. In this study, I conducted a comprehensive phylogenetic analysis of Clytini based on the three mitochondrial genes 12S rRNA 16S rRNA COI and two nuclear genes 18S rRNA 28S rRNA. The results of the analysis with high reliability confirmed the hypothesis of polyphyly of Clytini. The tribe includes two phylogenetically different and morphologically distinct evolutionary branches, which gave me reason to conduct a taxonomic revision of Clytini. I proposed new nomenclature acts including 1 new supertribe, 1 new tribe, 4 new subtribes, 3 new genera, 4 new subgenera, 3 new statuses, 22 new combinations, 2 new synonyms. In addition, I redescribed 1 tribe and 3 genera.

An annotated catalogue of Cerambycoidea (Cerambycidae and Vesperidae) in Turkey is presented with type information of valid species-group taxa. The catalogue is included a total of about 3574 names of taxa and 1190 primary references to the family-, genus- and species-groups names. According to the catalogue, Cerambycoidea of Turkey represents two families as Cerambycidae Latreille, 1802 and Vesperidae Mulsant, 1839. Cerambycoidea of Turkey contains a total of 1023 species-group taxa belonging to 137 genera of 55 tribes of 12 subfamilies in these two families. Cerambycidae family is represented with 1022 species-group taxa belonging to 136 genera of 54 tribes of 11 subfamilies, while Vesperidae family is represented with a single species belonging to a genus of a tribe. Parmena sericata that was described by Sama (1996a: 114) from NE Turkey (Artvin prov.: Borçka, Cankurtaran pass), is accepted for Turkish and Georgian populations connected with deciduous trees (Castanea sativa, Ficus carica and Malus domestica). Accordingly, I propose here the new name “Parmena samai” dedicated to the Late well-known cerambycidologist Gianfranco Sama (Italy) instead of Parmena sericata Sama, 1996 that is an unavailable name under the Art. 15.1: conditional proposal of ICZN. In addition, with the catalogue, 70 species-group taxa (55 species and 15 subspecies) that did not include from Turkey in Danilevsky (2020) are newly recorded from whole territory of Turkey. In addition, 11 species-group taxa (9 species and 2 subspecies) that were recorded only from European Turkey (Thrace) by Danilevsky (2020) are newly reported from Asian Turkey (Anatolia), while 6 species-group taxa (5 species and 1 subspecies) that were recorded only from Asian Turkey (Anatolia) by Danilevsky (2020) are newly reported from European Turkey (Thrace). Also, 64 references that were not included by Danilevsky (2020), are proposed to add to Palaearctic catalogue. In the catalogue, the number of species-group taxa of Cerambycoidea in Turkey is 1023 as mentioned above. Dorcadioninae subfamily with 331 species-group taxa has the highest number of taxa. Lamiinae subfamily follows it with 258 taxa. Lepturinae subfamily is in third place with 196 taxa, while Cerambycinae subfamily is in fourth place with 173 taxa. On the other side, the endemism rate of Cerambycoidea in Turkey is found very high with about 48 percent in the total evaluation. Dorcadioninae subfamily also has the highest endemism rate with approximately 80 percent. Apatophyseinae subfamily follows it with 75 percent endemism rate. Necydalinae subfamily is in third place with 50 percent endemism rate, while Lepturinae subfamily is in fourth place with about 42 percent endemism rate. In addition, the total taxa numbers of the species-group taxa described originally from Turkey of Cerambycoidea is 610. The taxa number consists of about 60 percent of the total species-group taxa of Cerambycoidea in Turkey. Dorcadioninae subfamily with 300 species-group taxa also has the highest number of taxa. Lamiinae subfamily follows it with 121 taxa. Lepturinae subfamily is in third place with 99 taxa, while Cerambycinae subfamily is in fourth place with 66 taxa.
An intensive census, extended over a period of approximately three and a half years, October 2017- May 2021, was conducted in the remaining green areas of the Macau SAR in order to provide an updated status of the biodiversity of longhorn beetles in this region. This insect group includes more than 36,000 species worldwide, subdivided into four families of mainly xylophagous or saproxylic insects, the Vesperidae, Oxypeltidae, Disteniidae, and Cerambycidae. They are of key importance in agricultural and forestry science, and are often used as an indicator of forest habitat health. A total of 52 species was recorded during this census, 2.6 times more than previously reported in the literature for this area. However, recorded abundances and frequency of occurrence for the various species were remarkably low, and of the 20 species previously reported for the region, some prominent ones remained unaccounted for. Among others, these include Batocera horsfieldii (Hope, 1839), Apriona rugicollis Chevrolat, 1852 [previously incorrectly reported as Apriona germarii (Hope, 1831)], Aristobia reticulator (Fabricius, 1781) [previously reported as Aristobia testudo (Voet, 1778)] and Imantocera penicillata (Hope, 1831). It is hypothesised that this may be related to the ongoing manipulation of the natural vegetation of the Macau SAR, which is rapidly being converted to plantations, city parks, and gardens. In particular, dead or dying trees and lower tree branches are systematically removed in order to improve the aesthetic appearance of these green areas. However, this process is also depriving xylophagous and saproxylic species of their essential habitats.
The classification and phylogenetic relationships of longhorn beetles, a diverse and ecologically important group, have been debated for decades, with neither morphological nor molecular data achieving a satisfactory resolution. Rhytiphora, the largest Australian genus of the subfamily Lamiinae, is no exception. The current concept of the genus encompasses around 200 species (from nearly 40 former genera), united by a putative apomorphy: setose 'sex patches' on the male abdomen, probably involved in dispersing pheromones. However, these sex patches are not unique to Rhytiphora. In this thesis, multiple nuclear loci were sequenced from museum specimens to produce the first molecular phylogeny of the Australasian Lamiinae, using fossil calibration data to estimate the branch lengths in real time. This phylogeny indicates that the tribal classification of the Australasian Lamiinae is largely incorrect, and the Australian genera form two clades: an older clade containing the Australian endemics and all the New Zealand taxa; and a younger clade with close ties to Asia, including the focal genus Rhytiphora. Many of the genera in this younger clade have male sex patches. The tribal classification of the sampled genera was revised, moving many Australian endemics to Lamiinae incertae sedis and reinstating the tribe Niphonini for Rhytiphora and five other Asian-Australian genera. Mitochondrial sequences were then used to reconstruct the phylogeny of Rhytiphora and examine patterns of morphological evolution and biome distributions. The Australian Rhytiphora species form two distinct clades. Nine morphological traits are correlated with these clades, including sex patches, body size and eye emargination. Clade 1 has mostly tropical species, while clade 2 has more mesic and arid zone species; both clades show evidence of multiple biome shifts between species groups. On the basis of these results, the morphological definition of the genus was revised, providing diagnostic features to distinguish Rhytiphora from related genera. Both molecular results and examination of type material were used to revise the collaris group, describe a new species, and construct an updated checklist of 162 Australian species (involving many new synonymies). These results shed light on an important part of Australia's insect fauna, improving the tribal classification of Lamiinae and providing insight into the previously unknown biogeographic history of the Australian longhorn beetles. They also improve our understanding of the phylogeny, morphology, biogeography and species-level taxonomy of the diverse genus Rhytiphora.
