Abstract

Four new subspecies of the genus Megobaralipton are described under the names M. mindanaonis luzonum, M. mindanaonis meridianum, M. lansbergei exocostatum and M. mandibulare choui subspp. nov. Megobaralipton itohi KOMIYA, 2002 is regarded as a subspecies of M. bicoloripes. Megobaralipton mandibulare FAIRMAIRE, 1899 is redescribed and the lectotype and paralectotype are designated. The genus Megobaralipton are subdivided into three species groups, and a new key to the species and the subspecies is given.

... Type-species: Aegosoma bicoloripes Ritsema, 1881 by subsequent designation by Komiya, 2002: 220. Megobaralipton Lepesme & Breuning, 1952, previously considered as a subgenus of Megopis Audinet-Serville, 1832, was revised by Komiya (2002), who considered it as a genus and this generic position was followed and confirmed later on by Komiya & Drumont (2014). Megobaralipton is mostly characterized by an elongated cylindrical body, head with robust and developed mandibles in males, each mandible furnished with two internal tooth; pronotum strongly convex, with lateral margins indistinct, and widest at posterior half; elytra elongated and generally parallel-sided with rounded apex (furnished with small sutural projection), and with two internal carinae, which start from base or humerus and meet each other at about ¼ of the length of elytra before apex (the inner most often absent); and by legs slender in both sexes (Komiya 2002;Drumont et al. 2018b). ...

... Megobaralipton kalimantanum was originally described from the island of Borneo (East Kalimantan province (Indonesia) and from Sabah State from East Malaysia). Shortly after, it was reported by Komiya (2002) from continental Malaysia (Cameron Highland). Recently, the species was also mentioned by Drumont & Komiya (2014) ...

... The genus Megobaralipton is mostly characterized by a body elongated cylindrical, the head with robust and developed mandibles in males, each mandible furnished with two internal tooth, a pronotum strongly convex with lateral margins indistinct and widest at posterior half, elytra elongated and generally parallel-sided with rounded apex (furnished with small sutural projection) and with two internal costa which start from humerus and meet each other close to apex (the two internal ones usually absent), and by legs slender and smooth in both sexes (Komiya, 2002). The genus is currently comprised of 7 species and 4 subspecies divided into 3 species groups : bicoloripes, lansbergei and mandibulare (Komiya & Drumont, 2014). ...
... The species was described from the southern part of South-East Asia (Borneo) by Komiya & Makihara (2001) and, just after that, reported from continental Malaysia (Komiya, 2002). It was also listed from north-eastern Thailand by Komiya & Drumont in 2014. From now, it becomes clear, based on our data involving North Vietnam locations, that M. kalimantanum can be also distributed to northern part of the South-East Asia area. ...

Spinimegopis bezborodovi Koshkin, sp. n. is described from South Vietnam (Lam Dong province, Lang Bian Plateau). New species most is similar to S. lividipennis (Lameere, 1920) but differs from latter by coloration of body, by specific pattern of pronotum, by shape and size of spine of anterior angle of pronotum, by antennae length, by lower density of granules on 1st-3rd antennal segments and profemur, by smaller ratio of the lengths of the third and first antennal segments of males, and by features of morphology of male terminalia (especially tegmen and eight sternite).

Based on recent collections in Laos, a new species of the genus Aegosoma Audinet-Serville, 1832 is described as A. dorei n. sp. The new species is illustrated and compared to its closest species within the genus. The female sex of Drumontiana costata Komiya & Niisato, 2007), a species of Prioninae from the Anacolini tribe restricted to the northeastern part of Laos, is described and figured for the first time. We also report unpublished distribution data for Laos for eight species (Aegosoma george Do, 2015, Aegosoma katsurai (Komiya, 2000), Komiyasoma lei Drumont & Do, 2013, Megobaralipton kalimantanum (Komiya & Makihara, 2001), Palaeomegopis lameerei Boppe, 1911, Priotyrannus (Chollides) closteroides (Thomson, 1877), Rhineimegopis cordieri (Lameere, 1916) and Sarmydus loebli Drumont & Weigel, 2010). These new occurrences are presented and discussed. For the purposes of this note, Komiyasoma lei is also reported for the first time from the provinces of Kontum and the municipality of Da Nang in the north central part of Vietnam.

With this new series, we will provide additional distribution data for Cerambycidae beetles belonging to the subfamily Prioninae. We start with six species (Aegosoma george Do, 2015, Baralipton severini (Lameere, 1909), Priotyrannus (Kinibalua) megalops (Bates, 1889), Rhaphipodus fruehstorferi Lameere, 1903, Sarmydus subcoriaceus (Hope, 1831) and Ziglipton huedepohli Komiya & Drumont, 2004) from the Oriental region for which new records are presented and discussed.

An updated and annotated checklist of the subfamily Prioninae of the family Cerambycidae (Coleoptera) occurring in China is proposed, with the list of all provinces where each species is recorded. This work is based on a vast bibliographical study and on examination of specimens present in various collections from scientific institutions and from private entomologist amateurs. The Prioninae fauna of China is nowadays composed by 102 taxa (species and subspecies) and this number includes the species Anomophysis elongata Quentin & Villiers, 1981, firstly being reported from China in this paper. New provinces records were also provided for Aegolipton marginale (Fabricius, 1775), Aegosoma katsurai (Komiya, 2000), Baralipton maculosum Thomson, 1857, Casiphia (Casiphia) inopinata Hüdepohl, 1998, Dorysthenes (Paraphrus) granulosus (Thomson, 1861), Eurypoda (Eurypoda) nigrita Thomson, 1865, Anomophysis hainana (Gressitt, 1940) and Rhaphipodus fruehstorferi Lameere, 1903. The occurrence of Nepiodes sulcipennis (White, 1853) in China is confirmed after recent collects in Yunnan province. Additionally, nine doubtful species previously reported from China namely Aegosoma scabricorne (Scopoli, 1763), Baralipton severini (Lameere, 1909), Dorysthenes (Lophosternus) huegelii (Redtenbacher, 1848), Dorysthenes (Lophosternus) zivetta laosensis Gressitt & Rondon, 1970, Dorysthenes (Prionomimus) elegans ishigakiensis Ohbayashi, 1981, Mesoprionus asiaticus (Faldermann, 1837), Psilotarsus hirticollis Motschulsky, 1860, Rhaphipodus gahani Lameere, 1903 and Spinimegopis nipponica (Matsushita, 1934) are discussed and have been presently excluded from the Chinese fauna. For the first time, the 28 genera and 7 subgenera composing the Chinese Prioninae fauna are all illustrated in color.
