Two new species of Anoplophora Hope, 1839 from China (Coleoptera, Cerambycidae, Lamiinae)
Abstract
Two new species of starry longhorn beetles are described from China, i.e. Anoplophora iadina sp. nov. from Yunnan and A. zibroides sp. nov. from Hunan and Guangxi. Color plates are presented to illustrate their diagnostic characters.
... It now includes 59 valid species and subspecies distributed in East, South and Southeast Asia (Tavakilian & Chevillotte 2023). The last taxonomic treatment on Anoplophora was made by Wang et al. (2023), who described two new species from China and mentioned all research after Lingafelter & Hoebeke (2002). ...
The diversity of the genus Anoplophora Hope, 1839 of Nanling Priority Area for Biodiversity Conservation is surveyed, with the discovery of one new species, A. xuei Lin & Wen, sp. nov. This species is described from Guangxi and Guizhou, China. Illustrations of the habitus and male genitalia of A. xuei Lin & Wen, sp. nov. and the similar A. leechi (Gahan) are provided. Additional locality data for A. leechi is provided.
... coeruleoantennata, such as the moderately open procoxal cavities at the posterior and the antennomeres covered with bluish-grey pubescent annulation, are present in A. puxian, although they differ greatly in the colouration and lustre of the elytra (Wang & He, 2021). Given our observation that pubescence pattern and elytral lustre often fail to serve as robust interspecific diagnostic characters, it is possible that A. coeruleoantennata is the only species missing from our sampling of the glabripennis-group. ...
Resolving a robust phylogeny of an organismal group is often hindered by the limited availability of samples suitable for genomic or transcriptomic sequencing. Even for lineages of notable importance in evolutionary ecology, our phylogenetic comprehension remains largely unsatisfactory due to the challenges of acquiring samples across the clade. The long‐horned beetle genus Anoplophora Hope exemplifies such a group, globally renowned for two invasive pests—the Asian long‐horned beetle and citrus long‐horned beetle—which have inflicted significant damage to deciduous hardwood forest in North America and Europe. In contrast to the two temperate pests, the remaining 50 species in the genus inhabit subtropical forests of Southeast Asia, where most species are only infrequently encountered. Here, we present the first comprehensive phylogeny of Anoplophora using a PCR‐based target enrichment museomics approach. As a case study of employing PCR‐generated custom probes, we demonstrate the robustness and cost‐effectiveness of this in‐house method in successfully acquiring sequence data from historical specimens. Through extensive sampling of Anoplophora using museum specimens, we reveal a non‐sister relationship between the two temperate species and provide evidence for addressing taxonomic conundrums. Our biogeographical analyses indicate that the adaptation of the two temperate species occurred independently during the late Pliocene and Pleistocene after the establishment of temperate forests in East Asia in the late Miocene. Our findings highlight the importance of comprehensive phylogenetic inference in understanding the patterns and processes of these beetles' adaptation to temperate forests and lay the groundwork for investigating the genetic mechanism underlying life in the cold.
The genus Anoplophora Hope, 1839 (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae: Lamiinae: Lamiini) includes 47 species (without subspecies) occurring in East, South and Southeast Asia. Amongst them, 38 species are known from CHINA. Members of this genus are familiar to Chinese people with a widely-used common name: “星天牛 [starry longhorn beetle]”. Anoplophora species have great economic importance, attacking and damaging numerous hardwood trees and some coniferous trees.
A new species of starry longhorn beetle, Anoplophora huangjianbini sp. n. (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae: Lamiinae: Lamiini) is described from Fujian and Guangxi, CHINA. Diagnostic characters of the new species are illustrated and comparison with closely-related congeners is provided.
Anoplophora Hope, 1839 is a genus including more than 40 species occurring in Asia. Most species of this genus have beautiful colours on the elytra and are of great interest to insect collectors. Due to their developing in and consuming wood in the larval stage, species in this genus could be economically important, such as A. glabripennis , an introduced species to North America.
We described Anoplophora fanjingensis sp. n., based on specimens from Mount Fanjing (also Fanjingshan), Jiankou County, Guizhou, China. The new species is characterised by its elytra with metallic iridescent sheen and the non-annulated antennae. Habitus of two similar species, Anoplophora chiangi and Anoplophora leechi , are also presented.
In order to infer phylogenetic relationships within the extraordinarily speciesrich order Coleoptera, a cladistic analysis is performed, in which 516 adult and larval morphological characters are scored for 359 beetle taxa, representing 314 families or subfamilies plus seven outgroup taxa representing seven holometabolan orders. Many morphological features are discussed at length with accompanying illustrations, and an attempt is made to homologize these and employ a uniform set of terms throughout the order. The resulting data matrix is analyzed using the parsimony ratchet in conjunction with implied weighting. The resulting most parsimonious tree found the order Strepsiptera to be sister to Coleoptera, each of the four coleopteran suborders to be monophyletic and subordinal relationships as follows: (Archostemata + Adephaga) + (Myxophaga + Polyphaga), but without significant support for either clade. The topology of the remainder of the tree is consistent with many prior molecular and morphological analyses, with the monophyly of superfamilies Hydrophiloidea (sensu lato), Scarabaeoidea and Curculionoidea and many currently recognized families and subfamilies are well supported, with weaker support for Elateroidea, Cucujiformia and Phytophaga.
A new species, Anoplophora siderea Bi, Chen & N. Ohbayashi, sp. nov. (繁星星天牛, Fán xîng xîng tiân niú), is described from Guangxi and Guangdong, China. Unknown males of Anoplophora cheni Bi & N. Ohbayashi, 2015, A. chiangi Hua & Zhang, 1991, A. flavomaculata (Gressitt, 1933) and A. multimaculata (Xie & Wang, 2015) are recorded for the first time. The endophalli of those species and A. ankangensis (Chiang, 1981) are described. New localities, habitus, endophallic structure and major diagnostic features of them are provided.
Paragniopsis ochraceomaculata Breuning, 1965 and Paragniopsis Breuning, 1965 are confirmed to be junior synonyms of Agnioides striatopunctatus Breuning, 1956 and Agnioides Breuning, 1956 respectively after comparison of types; Monochamus fruhstorferi Breuning, 1964 is a new junior synonym of Annamanum lunulatum (Pic, 1934). Paranamera ankangensis Chiang, 1981 and Mimonemophas multimaculatus Xie & Wang, 2015 are transferred to the genus Anoplophora Hope, and the former is newly recorded from Hunan Province.
