Abstract
Pseudoechthistatus rugosus sp. nov. is described and illustrated from Yunnan, China.
Key words: new species, male terminalia, hind wing, variation
Introduction
The genus Pseudoechthistatus Pic, 1917 presently consists of 10 species from China, Myanmar and Vietnam. Pseu-
doechthistatus birmanicus Breuning, 1942 is only known from Myanmar, P. holzschuhi Bi & Lin, 2016 and P.
glabripennis Bi & Lin, 2016 are known from China and Vietnam, the remaining seven species are only known from
China (Bi & Lin 2016; Wang et al. 2019).
In this work, a new species, Pseudoechthistatus rugosus sp. nov. is described from Yunnan, China. The habitus,
hind wing and male terminalia of P. rugosus sp. nov. are illustrated. To date, Pseudoechthistatus consists of 11 spe-
cies, 10 of which are distributed in China.
Material and methods
All specimens examined are deposited in following institutions and private collection:
CGQH Collection of Gui-Qiang Huang, Liupanshui, Guizhou, China
LPSNU School of Biological Science and Technology, Liupanshui Normal University, Liupanshui, China
SWU Institute of Entomology, College of Plant Protection, Southwest University, Chongqing, China
The methods mainly refer to Huang & Li (2019), but the photographs (Figs. 1–5, 18–20) were taken with a
Canon EOS 5DSR camera with Canon AF 100 mm macro lens plus the software Helicon Remote (Ver. 3.9.7 W)
and were stacked with the software Helicon Focus (Ver. 6.7.1). Descriptive terminology of hind wing followed
Ohbayashi & Niisato (2007).

... Therefore, longhorn beetles play an important role in the natural ecosystem and have significant economic and ecological value (Schneider et al. 2018). The beetle genus Pseudoechthistatus Pic 1917 (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) has 11 species worldwide, 10 of which occur in China (Bi and Lin 2016;Wang, Xie, et al. 2019;Huang et al. 2020). Species of the genus Pseudoechthistatus are widely distributed in the second and third terrace regions of China, inhabiting fir broad-leaved forests or mixed coniferous forests at altitudes of 1800-3000 m (Wang, Xie, et al. 2019). ...
... To generate occurrence records of Pseudoechthistatus in China for modeling, data were obtained from published references (e.g., Bi and Lin 2016;Huang et al. 2020), online databases such as the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF, https:// www. gbif. ...

Climate change will lead to changes in biological ecosystems, which may affect the geographic distribution of Pseudoechthistatus and thus alter the extent and spatial pattern of its habitat. Pseudoechthistatus plays an important role in biodiversity and has significant ecological value. This study utilized an optimized MaxEnt model to predict the predicted distribution of Pseudoechthistatus in China for the current and future (2050s and 2070s). The results show that the MaxEnt model has high prediction accuracy with AUC values higher than 0.97 for both training and testing. The most influential factors contributing to the distribution of Pseudoechthistatus were temperature seasonality (Bio4) and isothermality (Bio3), accounting for 38.8% and 28.2%, respectively. Furthermore, southern China remains a region of high suitability for Pseudoechthistatus species diversity. However, the Beijing climate center climate system model (BCC‐CSM2‐MR) predicts a decrease in suitable areas for Pseudoechthistatus, while the model for interdisciplinary research on climate (MIROC6) predicts an increase in medium and low suitable areas for Pseudoechthistatus. Additionally, future climate change will significantly alter its distribution pattern, with Pseudoechthistatus predicted to decrease its suitable area by 6.64%–28.01% under the BCC‐CSM2‐MR model and increase its suitable area by 6.14%–18.61% under the MIROC6 model. The results show that the MaxEnt model can improve the understanding of the geographical distribution of Pseudoechthistatus in the context of climate change and provide a scientific basis for the identification of potentially suitable habitats and the development of stable suitable areas for conservation.
... The specimen examined is deposited in LPSNU (School of Biological Science and Technology, Liupanshui Normal University, Liupanshui, Guizhou, China). The methods of taking figures 1-5 followed Huang et al. [4]. The terminology of hind wings vein follows Švácha and Lawrence [5] . ...

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.
... It presently consists of six species from Asia (Tavakilian and Chevillotte 2022). Mitono (1943) described Acanthocinus shirakii from China (Taiwan), then Gressitt (1951) transferred A. shirakii Mitono, 1943 to Neacanista Gressitt, 1940, and finally, Gouverneur (2016) transferred N. shirakii to Trichohoplorana and The methods of taking photographs for Figs 2C-G, 4B-F, 6A-E followed Huang et al. (2020), and methods of photographing Fig. 3A-J mainly followed Huang and Li (2019) but were taken with a E3ISPM21000KPA camera and ImageView software. The terminology of hind wings vein follows Švácha and Lawrence (2014). ...

The genus Pseudoechthistatus Pic, 1917 is redefined and revised. Five species of the genus are described as new, P. sinicus sp. n. and P. chiangshunani sp. n. from central Yunnan, China, P. pufujiae sp. n. from western Yunnan, China, and P. holzschuhi sp. n. and P. glabripennis sp. n. from southern Yunnan and northern Vietnam. Pseudoechthistatus birmanicus Breuning, 1942 is excluded from the fauna of China. Three poorly known species, P. obliquefasciatus Pic, 1917, P. granulatus Breuning, 1942, and P. acutipennis Chiang, 1981 are redescribed, and the type localities of the former two species are discussed. Endophallic structure of seven species in inflated and everted condition are studied and compared with their relatives. Illustrations of habitus and major diagnostic features of all species are provided. Some biological notes are reported. An identification key as well as a distributional map are presented.
