- Abstract
We sequenced and analyzed the transcriptomes from different tissues of the soldier beetle, Podabrus annulatus (Coleoptera: Cantharidae), and obtained 75.74 Gb clean reads which were assembled into 95,274 unigenes. Among these transcripts, 25,484 unigenes of highly quality were annotated. Based on annotation and tBLASTn results, we identified a total of 101 candidate olfactory-related genes for the first time, including 11 putative odorant-binding proteins (OBPs), 6 chemosensory proteins (CSP), 50 olfactory receptors (ORs), 25 gustatory receptors (GRs), 6 ionotropic receptors (IRs), and 3 sensory neuron membrane proteins (SNMPs). BLASTX best-hit results indicated that these chemosensory genes were most identical to their respective orthologs from Photinus pyralis. Phylogenetic analyses also revealed that the ORs, GRs, and IRs of Podabrus annulatus are closely related to those of Photinus pyralis. The fragment per kilobase per million mapped fragments (FPKM) values showed that the PannOBP2, PannOBP3, and PannOBP10 were predominantly expressed in the antennae, PannOBP1 in the abdomen-thorax, while others were not identified to be tissue-specific. These olfactory-related differentially expressed genes (DEGs) demonstrated different roles in the olfactory system of Podabrus annulatus. This study establishes the groundwork for future research into the molecular mechanism of olfactory recognition in Podabrus annulatus., (© 2023 Wiley Periodicals LLC.)

- Abstract
The little known genus Mimonemophas was erected by Breuning (1961) with M. quadrifasciatus Breuning as the type species, which was described based on a single male specimen from Vietnam. The genus Mimonemophas is similar to Anoplophora Hope in appearance but different from it by elytra densely clothed with thick bristle-like hairs on non-pubescent region, while in Anoplophora, the elytra glabrous, or pubescent with/without hairs, if the hairs present, commonly soft and thin. Until now, the type species was known only from Mau Son Mountain, Vietnam.

China (Yunnan); Vietnam. Description. Female. Length 34.0– 35.5 mm, humeral width 12.0– 12.5 mm. Body black, clothed with appressed bright bluish, white to bluish-white pubescence, translucent pubescence and black erect hairs, with metallic green luster. Color and pubescence: Body blackish, head clothed with inconspicuous bluish pubescence on inner margin of lower eye lobe, lower margin of gena, base of labrum and outside of basal mandible (hardly visible to naked eye), with black erect hairs on antennal tubercles; lower margin of gena and partial mouthpart (especially conspicuous on basal labrum and outside of basal mandible). Antenna with scape clothed with inconspicuous bluish pubescence and the succeeding antennomeres clothed with dense bluish-grey pubescence except at apices (middle of antennomere XI more or less presents black annulation), pubescence color gradually becoming pale towards terminal in some degree; basal antennomeres clothed with sparse black hairs below, hairs on scape more conspicuous and denser; apex of antennomeres III–IV distinctly tufted with black hairs ventrally, tufts on following antennomeres gradually indistinct. Pronotum fringed with dense reddish short hairs and sparse black hairs on anterior margin, scattered with long black hairs before and after lateral spine, and clothed with translucent appressed pubescence below the lateral spine; disc nearly glabrous, either side of middle of anterior half clothed with 20–30 very short bluish setae which are hardly visible to naked eye but can be visible under the anatomical lens. Scutellum clothed with translucent pubescence, sparse laterally and quite dense medially. Each elytron scattered with about 13 irregularly-sized patches of white to bluish-white pubescence, of which 7 patches arranged in a longitudinal row along outer margin, and the largest one at the middle of elytron, transversely extending from center to lateral margin; surface without erect hairs, epipleuron fringed with black short hairs. Ventral surface clothed with bluish pubescence, translucent pubescence and erect black hairs. Prosternum clothed with dense bluish pubescence and sparse black hairs, hairs on prosternal process denser and more conspicuous; mesepisternum, mesepimeron and mesosternum clothed with dense translucent pubescence and sparse black hairs, hairs on mesosternal process denser and more conspicuous; metepisternum and metasternum clothed with dense translucent pubescence, mixed with sparse bluish pubescence on posterior half of metepisternum and completely replaced with dense bluish pubescence on central area of metasternum, whole metepisternum and metasternum scattered with sparse black hairs. Sternites clothed with bluish pubescence and black hairs, both of which are sparser than that on metasternum, distal sternite fringed with short pubescence apically. Legs clothed with dense bluish and translucent pubescence, coxa, trochanter and ventral side of proleg scattered with sparse erect black hairs; femur mostly clothed with bluish pubescence, denser on ventral side; tibia mostly clothed bright blue pubescence, extreme base black and apex clothed with dense black bristle; tarsus clothed bright blue pubescence dorsally. Structure: Head finish, sparsely micropunctate, deeply depressed between antennal insertions; frons quadrate in shape from anterior perspective. Frons quadrate, slightly bulged, with a distinct median sulcus extending to occiput; vertex rounded, gena somewhat inflated. Eye deeply emarginate, lower lobe taller than wide, slightly shorter than genae. Antennae longer than body, about 1.4 times as long as body, antennal tubercles strongly elevated, scape stout, slightly flat, thickened apically, with a broad cicatrix; antennomere III longest, about 1.7 times as long as scape, antennomeres IV–X successively decreased in length, antennomere XI about as long as V. Pronotum wider than long, disc distinctly depressed and transversely rugous, with relatively flattened surface without lateral calli, provided with a small, quite feeble posteromedian callus and a quite vague longitudinal median sulcus, either side of posterior half equipped with several granular punctures; lateral spine conical with subacute apex, directed laterally. Scutellum tongue-shaped, with slightly rounded apex. Elytra convex, shiny, with strong iridescent copper green sheen, about 2.0 times as long as the width across humeri, apex broadly rounded; surface provided with microreticulations and micropunctations, without granules and erect hairs, a distinct depression presents after scutellum. Mesosternal intercoxal process tuberculate. Apex of terminal ventrite bilobed with strong notch at middle. Legs moderately long, femur slightly clavate. Female genitalia (Figs. 8–10). Setae on sternites VII–VIII denser than that on tergites, which forming a broad patch separated by a narrow glabrous midline. Spermatheca inserts in the bursa copulatrix at the one-thirds distance from blind end. Spermathecal duct short. Spermathecal capsule membranous and subsemicircular basally, sclerotized and gradually expanded apically, strongly curved and reversed medianly, apex of blind end rounded. Spermathecal gland long, with extreme base strongly constricted and sclerotized. Remarks. The new species is distinctive due to the pronotum with distinct transverse or nearly transverse wrinkles and antennomeres III–IV with the apices distinctly tufted with black hairs ventrally. It is very similar to A. puxian Wang & He, 2021 by the similar lateral pronotal spine, elytral color and elytral markings color, and elytral humeri without granules. However, it can be easy distinguished from A. puxian by the antennomeres II–XI mostly clothed with dense bluish pubescence, only the apex black, pronotum wholly with distinct transverse or nearly transverse wrinkles on disc, without umbilicated granules, and each elytron with large, prominent, separated sub-oval hair patches (except the middle one, which appears to be two patches merged into one transverse patches). Etymology. The species is named for the pronotum with transverse wrinkles on disc. The Chinese name is designated as Iḃsĸ牛., Published as part of Wang, Ping, Xie, Guanglin & Wang, Wenkai, 2022, Description of a new species of the genus Anoplophora Hope, 1839 (Coleoptera Cerambycidae, Lamiinae), pp. 97-100 in Zootaxa 5195 (1) on pages 97-98, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5195.1.8, http://zenodo.org/record/7180727

Antenna clothed with brown appressed pubescence. Scutellum densely clothed with grayish-yellow pubescence. Each eltyron with a oval black macula of short setae behind the middle, with a narrow grayish-yellow annular marking around black macula. Ventral surface sparsely covered with short brown and yellow appressed setae. Legs clothed with sparse grey-white and yellow appressed setae, more densely on apical half of tibiae. Head with frons short, transverse, with a well marked longitudinal median sulcus; frons slightly convex, with sparsely and coarsely punctation; vertex slightly concave. Eyes coarsely faceted and deeply emarginate; gena distinctly longer than lower eye lobe. Antennae longer than body, about 1.24 times as long as body; antennomere VIII surpassing elytral apex, antennal tubercles elevated, widely separated from each other; scape cylindrical, coarsely punctate, with an inconspicuous apical cicatrix; scape slightly shorter than antennomere III, antennomere III slightly longer than IV, about 1.19 times as long as IV, antennomeres IV���X gradually shortening, antennomere XI sharply pointed apically, nearly equal in length of VI. Pronotum wider than long, slightly constricted at basal 1/ 5 in lateral, length about 1.23 times as long as basal width, about 1.13 times as long as apical width; disc strongly raised centrally, anterior half of the protuberance strongly depressed medianly, posterior portion slightly narrowed with a middle longitudinal groove; each side provided with a lateral spine before the middle, subacute apically, slightly directed backward. Scutellum triangle. Elytra elongate oval, about 3.08 times as long as humeral width, about 1.67 times as long as greastest elytral width; with sparse, deep punctures; strongly and steeply declivous behind the middle, apex rounded; surface scattered with small tubercles before black patches, each elytron with inconspicuous three longitudinal row of tubercles with yellow pubescence at the tip: the first row with tubercles smallest at inner fourth reaching the anterior of black patche; the second row at outer fourth reaching the anterior of black macula; the third row with tubercles longest behind the humerus reaching to the posterior of black macula. Prosternal process narrow, lower than the coxae, gradually widening at apex; procoxal cavities closed posteriorly. Mesosternal process without tubercle; mesocoxal cavities opened externally to mesepimera. First abdominal ventrite longerst, distal abdominal ventrite slightly concave, with arcuate apical margin.

However, the apex of tergite VIII of one male specimen of Shengnongjia, Hubei is distinctly emarginate (figs. 4E��� F), which is different from mention above. Due to only one specimen has been examined, we tentatively considered it as Morimospasma (Parvopama) granulatum Chiang on the basis of the similar external morphological characters, and the taxonomic status of this specimen needs to be further confirmed in the future., Published as part of Wang, Ping, Xie, Guanglin & Wang, Wenkai, 2022, Study on the genus Morimospasma Ganglbauer, 1889 (Coleoptera, Cerambycidae Lamiinae) from Hubei, China, pp. 532-540 in Zootaxa 5115 (4) on page 537, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5115.4.4, http://zenodo.org/record/6361587, {"references":["Chiang, S.

China: Hubei (Shennongjia). Habitat. Specimens of Kunbir shennongjiaensis sp. nov. were collected on white flowers of the small tree Photinia beauverdiana Schneid. (Rosaceae) in a sparsely forested and bushy area in Shennongjia Forestry District (Figs 13 ��� 15). Phenology. Most of the specimens were collected in middle of May, which likely indicates adult activity at least from middle of April to June. Etymology. This specific name is derived from the type locality, Shennongjia. Remarks. This new species is similar to Kunbir simplex Gressitt & Rondon, 1970 (type locality: Laos), Kunbir nomurai Hayashi, 1974 (type locality: Taiwan, China), and Kunbir pilosipes Holzschuh, 2003 (type locality: Shaanxi, China) by the distinctive color of head and body. It can be readily separated from K. simplex by the mesofemora almost entirely yellow and the metafemora clavate black (meso- and metafemora black on apical 3/ 4 in K. simplex). Also, the new species differs from K. pilosipes by the elytra lacking black macula at apex. From K. nomurai it is differentiated by the mesofemora unicolor. In K. nomurai the mesofemora are yellow on basal half and black on apical half., Published as part of Wang, Xinyue, Wang, Ping & Wang, Wenkai, 2021, Anew speciesof KunbirLameere, 1890 (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae: Cerambycinae) from Hubei, China, pp. 181-186 in Zootaxa 4963 (1) on pages 181-185, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4963.1.10, http://zenodo.org/record/4711128, {"references":["Gressitt, J.

Similar to male, but body relatively broad, body color more darker, mostly black brown, apex of each antennomere distinctly black brown, golden pubescence on elytra more dense and conspicuous, presenting obvious mottled maculae. Antennae about 1.4 times as long as body. Maxillary and labial palpi with apical palpomere fusiform (Fig. 10). Pronotum slightly transverse. Elytra nearly ovate, length about 1.7 times as long as maximum width, strongly narrowing toward apices, surface distinctly and irregularly depressed. Apical edge of terminal abdominal sternite nearly straight. Material examined. Holotype (male), China: Hubei, Wufeng county, Houhe National Nature Reserve, N 30��5���6���, E 110��32���38���, alt. 1410 m, June 3, 2019, coll. by Shuai Zhao. Paratypes: one male, same data as the ho- lotype but coll. by Yifang Ren; one female, Houhe National Nature Reserve, N 30��5���2���, E 110��40���47���, alt. 430 m, May 8, 2019, coll. by Shuai Zhao. Distribution. China: Hubei. Etymology. The specific name refers to the country where the new species is found. Comments. The new species is easily distinguished from other known members of this genus by the body with golden pubescence, male maxillary and labial palpi with apical palpomere not expanded apically (Fig. 9), apex of male elytra mostly reddish brown to yellowish brown, female elytra strongly constricted toward apices and surface with irregular shallow depressions. Furthermore, the antennae of the new species are rather long, male antennae are about 2 times as long as the body, female antennae are about 1.4 times as long as the body (in other known species, the male antennae are not more than 1.5 times as long as the body, the female antennae are at most slightly longer than the body length); male elytra also are very elongate, the ratio of elytral length to maximum elytral width is 2.1 (the ratio of others known species is not more than 1.9). The new species has the scape with coarse and sparse punctures, which is similar to Sinodorcadion punctuscapum Xie, Shi & Wang, 2013. The new species resembles some species of Dolophrades Bates, 1884 by the relatively long antennae (Figs 1-4) and by the males with maxillary and labial palpi with no enlarged apical palpomeres (Fig. 9). However, it can be differentiated from the species of that genus by the humeri not prominent and the humeral width distinctly narrower than the maximum elytral width., Published as part of Zhao, Shuai, Xie, Guanglin & Wang, Wenkai, 2020, Two new species of the genus Sinodorcadion Gressitt, 1939 (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae: Lamiinae), pp. 291-296 in Zootaxa 4768 (2) on page 292, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4768.2.10, http://zenodo.org/record/3779722, {"references":["Xie, G.

Sinodorcadion zenghuaae Xie & Wang sp. nov. (dz���������K+) (Figs 5���8, 13���16) Description. Male: Length 9.6 mm, humeral width 2.5 mm, maximum elytral width 3.0 mm. Body mostly black brown to black, with dense gray and black-brown pubescence. Head, pronotum and elytra densely punctate. Lower margin and apex of mandible black, maxillary and labial palpi mostly dark brown, only distal segment pale brown apically. Antennomeres dull red brown with the apices slightly dark brown except scape and pedicel nearly black. Head, scape, pedicel, antennomeres III-IV, legs and underside with dense gray pubescence; pronotum disc mostly with gray pubescence, with a short black oblique pubescent strip on each side of midline behind middle and a black longitudinal strip on either side. Scutellum with dense gray pubescence. Elytra mostly with gray pubescence, with a large black pubescent patch around scutellum of which the sides subparallel and posterior edge strongly zigzag; and a broad black median pubescent band. Head densely punctate, frons slightly convex, with a smooth black longitudinal median sulcus extending to occiput; maxillary and labial terminal palpomere expanded and truncated apically (Fig. 13). Eyes coarsely faceted, lower lobe narrow. Antennae about 1.8 times as long as body; antennal tubercles broadly separated; scape cylindrical, slightly thickened apically, with inner side with sparse shallow punctures; antennomere III longer than IV, about 1.5 times as long as scape; antennomeres IV���X gradually shorter in length, antennomere XI subequal to V. Pronotum slightly wider than long, similarly punctate as on head; anterior margin slightly wider than posterior margin, lateral margin enlarged outward in the middle; lateral tubercle conspicuous, slightly directed upward; disc strongly convex, conspicuously sloping behind middle, anterior and posteriorly with a distinct transverse sulcus. Scutellum short, lingulate. Elytra elongate, strongly and evenly convex, about 2.0 times as long as maximum elytral width; widest at middle, then gradually narrowed towards apex, apex rounded; elytral surface more sparsely and coarsely punctate than on head and pronotum, diminishing towards apex. Prosternum, mesanepisternum, and mesoventrite coarsely and shallowly punctate anteriorly; mesoventral process impunctate. Abdominal sternites without distinct punctures, apex of terminal sternite slightly emarginate. Legs relatively long, tibiae approximately as long as femora, claws widely divergent. Female: Length 7.0 mm, humeral width 2.0 mm, maximum elytral width 3.0 mm. Similar to male, but antennae about 1.5 times as long as body; maxillary and labial palpi with apical palpomere fusiform (Fig. 14); elytra relatively short and wide, ovate, length about 1.8 times as long as maximum width; apical edge of terminal abdominal sternite nearly straight. Material examined. Holotype (male), China: Guangxi, Jinxiu county, Changdong township, N 24��06���28.77���, E 110��11���30.25���, alt. 1246 m, June 5, 2015, coll. by Jingsheng Zhao. Paratype: one female, the same locality as the holotype, but N 24��05���42.77���, E 110��10���37.96���, alt. 1129 m, May 22, 2015. Distribution. China: Guangxi. Etymology. Following wishes of Mr. Tianlong He (OiKAE) who presented us with the specimens of this species, the new species is named after his mother, Ms. Zenghua Tang, to express his love and gratitude. Comments. The new species is differentiated from the other species of the genus by the body with dense gray pubescence, the pronotum with two black oblique strip and the elytra with a big black basal patch and a broad median band. It is the second species having the rather long antennae. Both, male and female antennae are remarkable longer than body, the ratio of antennal length to body length is 1.8 in males and 1.5 in females. It���s the third species with the scape punctate. At first glance, the new species is similar to Elegantogyaritus wakaharai (Yamasako, Hasegawa & Ohbayashi, 2012) (Gyaritini) by the elytral pubescence pattern. However, the new species differs from the latter in lacking suberect long setae on body, lacking a pair of spinous tubercles on pronotal disc and mesocoxal cavities open., Published as part of Zhao, Shuai, Xie, Guanglin & Wang, Wenkai, 2020, Two new species of the genus Sinodorcadion Gressitt, 1939 (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae: Lamiinae), pp. 291-296 in Zootaxa 4768 (2) on pages 293-294, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4768.2.10, http://zenodo.org/record/3779722

Pseudoechthistatus hei Xie & W. Wang, sp. nov. Material examined. Holotype (male), China: Yunnan, Weixi county, Weideng country, 21 July, 2018, coll. by Tianlong He and Chao Zhou. Paratypes: five males and seven females, same data as the holotype. The holotype (male) and one paratype (female) are deposited in the Entomological Museum, Yangtze University, Jingzhou, Hubei, China. Five paratypes (two males and three females) are deposited in the private collection of Tianlong He (Huainan, Anhui); six paratypes (three males and three females) are deposited in the private collection of Chao Zhou (Chengdu, Sichuan). Distribution. China: Yunnan. Description. Male (holotype): Length 18.0���21.0 mm (measured from vertex to elytral apices), width 5.0��� 5.7 mm (measured across humeri). Body dark brown to black, clothed with ochraceous to yellow pubescence forming markings. Head, pronotum, basal several antennomeres and underside mixed with grayish-white short pubescence. Yellow pubescence around lower eye lobe denser. Pronotum fringed with dense short gold hairs at anterior and posterior margin, oriented anteriorly and posteriorly respectively; each side of midline decorated with a longitudinal ochraceous stripe, nearly reaching anterior and posterior edge; each side covered with a vague, short longitudinal patch and scattered with several long hairs above and behind each lateral spine. Scutellum mostly glabrous except the edge clothed with dense yellow pubescence. Elytral surface covered with uniform, fine yellow pubescence and decorated with maculae consisted of dense yellow pubescence as following: each elytral base equipped with an annular marking around subbasal tubercle which is opened anteriorly; basal fourth and middle respectively provided with an irregular short transverse band near suture, former band sometimes dispersed into small spots and latter band wider and more obvious, sometimes oblique, basal third also embellished with a distinct transverse spot close to outer margin; apical fourth furnished with a distinct short longitudinal spot; remaining irregularly scattered with spots of different sizes. Legs and underside clothed with grayish-yellow to ochraceous pubescence forming irregular spots. Body elongate. Head coarsely punctured; frons transverse, with a smooth, longitudinal median sulcus extending to occiput; lower eye lobe about 1.3 times as long as wide, about 0.8 times as long as gena. Antennae about 2.1 times as long as body, reaching elytral apex at antennomere V; antennomeres coarsely punctured, denser and deeper on basal segments; antennal tubercles strongly elevated, angulate internally; antennomere III distinctly longer than scape (about 2.2 times as long as scape), about 1.3 times as long as IV; antennomeres IV���X decreasing in length, XI subequal to VIII. Pronotum slightly longer than wide, with weak anterior and posterior constriction; anterior margin subequal to posterior margin in width, lateral spine acute distally; disc slightly convex, with irregular transverse wrinkles. Scutellum broadly linguiform, indistinctly punctate. Elytra about 2.0 times as long as humeral width, humeri slightly constricted, widest near middle, gradually narrowing towards apex, rounded apically; elytral surface dotted with coarse, partially coalesced punctures; humeri with distinct granules, each elytron provided with a moderately developed and raised subbasal tubercle with nearly smooth and glabrous surface, followed by a transverse depression before basal fourth. Prosternum finely and transversely rugose, procoxal cavities slightly open posteriorly, mesocoxal cavities open; metasternum moderately long, about 1.5 times as long as mesosternal length, with a smooth longitudinal median sulcus. Hindwings strongly reduced, slightly less than 0.7 times as long as elytral length. Legs long and slender, metafemora not reaching elytral apices, claws divergent. Male genitalia: Tergite VIII transverse, nearly truncated apically, length about 1.1 times as long as wide, clothed with sparse and short setae at sides, and slightly long and dense at middle; spiculum gastrale slightly longer than ringed part of tegmen; spiculum relictum shorter than a half of spiculum gastrale. Tegmen slightly bent in lateral view, paramere moderately long, length 1.3 times as long as width, apex with moderately dense setae; median lobe moderately curved in lateral view, distinctly shorter than tegmen; median struts about half length of median lobe, apex of ventral plate rounded; endophallus long, mostly membranous. Female. Length 20.1���20.8 mm (measured from vertex to elytral apices), width 7.0��� 7.4 mm (measured across humeri). Similar to male, but body distinctly broader; antennae about 1.3 times as long as body, reaching elytral apex at antennomere IX, antennomere III longer than IV, about 1.7 times as long as scape, remaining gradually shorter in length, antennomeres I���V fringed with short hairs on ventral side, denser on antennomeres I���IV; pronotum nearly as long as wide, dorsal longitudinal stripe more conspicuous; elytra about 2.2 times as long as humeral width; ventrite V slightly emarginate apically. Remarks. The new species has the quite reduced preapical stripe on elytron (nearly presenting a very short and narrow longitudinal spot), which is obviously different from other members in this genus, in spite of some individuals of P. granulatus Breuning, 1942 also having the preapical stripe with varying degrees of reduction (but at most slightly shorter than one-fifth of elytral length, according to Bi and Lin, 2016). The new species shares the similar feature of strongly reduced hindwings with P. obliquefasciatus Pic, 1917 P. granulatus Breuning, 1942 (the ratio of length of hind wing to elytron is not more than 0.8), but can be easily distinguished from P. obliquefasciatus by the less developed pubescence markings on pronotum, broadly interrupted middle band (forming a short transverse band near the outer margin and a transverse/oblique band close to the suture) and the remarkably reduced preapical stripe on each elytron, and elytral base only granulated on and near humeri; it can be easily distinguished from P. granulatus by the elytron without large and raised granules throughout and strongly reduced preapical stripe (much shorter than one-fifth of elytral length). At first glance, the new species is also similar to P. acutipennis Chiang, 1981 due to the elytral markings in some degree (especially the broadly interrupted middle band, strongly reduced preapical stripe and the surface without large and raised granules), but can be easily distinguished from it by the elytral apices rounded instead of strongly pointed. Furthermore, P. acutipennis Chiang has no preapical stripe at all. According to the notes from the collectors, several specimens were caught by hand on unidentified fallen trunks, and the others were captured by chopping trunks in the same locality. Etymology. The new species is named after one of the collectors, Mr. Tianlong He, in appreciation of his generosity in offering the specimens to be described., Published as part of Wang, Ping, Xie, Guanglin & Wang, Wenkai, 2019, A new species of Pseudoechthistatus Pic, 1917 (Coleoptera, Cerambycidae, Lamiinae) from Yunnan, China, pp. 184-188 in Zootaxa 4619 (1) on pages 184-187, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4619.1.10, http://zenodo.org/record/3248407, {"references":["Bi, W.

Sinocaulus truncatus sp. n. (Figures 1–27) Etymology. The species name refers to the truncate phallobase of the aedeagus. Diagnosis. This species is most similar to S. omiensis, both having the strongly protuberant eyes, but the phallobase of the latter species is acute at base and ventral lobes are obviously shorter than dorsal lobe. Description. Body length 13.0– 14.6 mm, width 4.9–5.9 mm, females usually larger than males (Figs. 20–21). Body narrowly elongate oval, 2.4–2.6 times as long as wide, sides weakly convex, head, pronotal and elytral setae uniformly red, venter covered by brown dense pubescence. Head (Figs. 1–3) subquadrate. Eyes large, entire, finely facetted, strongly protuberant and circular in crosssection. Frontoclypeal suture distinct, straight; clypeus short, arcuate anteriorly. Occiput without longitudinal impression or endocarina. Labrum (Fig. 7) elongate, distinctly sclerotised and setose at base, prominent and membranous anteriorly, rounded at apex. Antenna (Fig. 18) serrate, reaching mid-length of elytra; scape slender, about 2.0– 2.2 times as long as pedicel; antennomere 3 about 2.2–2.4 times as long as broad, 1.4–1.5 times as long as antennomere 4, terminal antennomere obtuse apically and longer than penultimate. Mandibles (Fig. 6) moderately long, broad at base, curved apically with sharp apical tooth; incisor edge with 2 teeth; mola blunt, indistinct, prostheca membranous. Maxillary (Fig. 4) lobes well developed and membranous apically; galea with two slender lobes; lacinia less prominent and densely setose; terminal maxillary palpomere weakly expanded apically. Mentum large, trapezoidal, obtuse anteriorly; ligula membranous, deeply bilobed, bearing long setose process on each side. Prothorax (Fig. 9) trapezoidal, transverse, 0.5–0.6 times as long as wide; sides distinctly narrowing anteriorly; lateral carinae complete, simple with upturned margin but without distinct bead; anterior and posterior angles obtuse; posterior edge tri-emarginate and smooth; disc convex with median impressed line and distinctly explanate lateral margins; punctation hardly visible under dense pubescence. Prosternum (Fig. 10) in front of coxa as long as longitudinal mid-coxal diameter; prosternal process entirely separating procoxae, slightly elevated, very narrow and pointed apically. Notosternal suture complete. Procoxae strongly projecting below prosternum. Procoxal cavities strongly transverse, narrowly separated and broadly open externally and internally; protrochantin exposed. Scutellar shield (Fig. 11) distinctly elevated, truncate anteriorly, distinctly pointed posteriorly, wider than long; densely setose. Elytra taken together 1.9 –2.0 times as long as wide and 4.7–4.9 times as long as pronotum; weakly convex, sides weakly expanding to about apical fourth and then abruptly narrowing to apex, apices blunt; lateral margins narrow with distinct bead, entirely visible from above. Alternate elytral intervals convex and setose, intervals with dense and coarse punctures not forming rows; scutellary striole absent. Epipleuron broad and mostly horizontal, distinctly setose. FIGURES 9–19. Sinocaulus truncatus sp. n.

Genus Mimonemophas Breuning, 1961 Mimonemophas Breuning, 1961: 309. Type species: Mimonemophas quadrifasciatus Breuning, 1961 Diagnosis. Body moderate-sized, black, with metallic luster. Head, pronotum, ventral surface and legs partially clothed with appressed, bright iridescent bluish scale-like pubescence. Antenna with basal two antennomeres and extreme base of 3 rd antennomere clothed with bright iridescent bluish scale-like pubescence, and basal antennomeres fringed with sparse and short black hairs ventrally. Elytra densely and uniformly clothed with appressed bluish-green to bluish-white scale-like pubescence and thick, semirecumbent to erect, black bristle-like hairs, forming bands or spots. Head finely punctate; frons wider than tall, slightly bulged; labrum emarginate anteriorly; eye coarsely faceted, with lower lobe taller than wide, longer than gena. Antenna slightly robust, distinctly longer than body; antennal tubercles moderately elevated; scape stout, thickened apically and with a complete apical cicatrix; 3 rd antennomere distinctly longer than 4 th, about 1.5 times as long as scape. Pronotum wider than long, with two distinct transverse grooves at anterior and posterior margin, respectively; lateral spine with basal swelling and apex tapering; disc with a distinct posteromedial callus. Elytra about 2 times as long as the width across humeri, with sides subparallel and apex broadly rounded; surface finely punctate with base granulate. Prosternal process narrow and arcuate, lower than procoxa; mesosternal process moderately tuberculate; procoxal cavity closed posteriorly, mesocoxal cavity open at side. Leg moderately long, femur slightly clavate, mesotibia with an oblique groove near external apex; claw divaricate. Distribution. CHINA (Guangxi, Hubei), VIETNAM. Remarks. According to the original description, Mimonemophas is similar to Paramelanauster Breuning and different from it by the elytra clothed with dense erect black hairs. However, Mimonemophas is more similar to Anoplophora Hope in appearance and shares many characters with it, such as scape with well-developed apical cicatrix, pronotum with large lateral spine and distinct posteromedial callus, mesosternal intercoxal process with a moderate projection and elytron with transverse pubescent bands or spots; furthermore, the head, ventral surface and legs are partially clothed with appressed bluish pubescence, a character which is also present in some species of Anoplophora such as A. davidis (Fairmaire, 1886) and A. elegans (Gahan, 1888); antennae without pubescent annulations beyond antennomere 3, a character which is also found in some Anoplophora species such as A. jianfenglingensis Hua, 1989 and A. granata Holzschuh, 1993 (Lingafelter & Hoebeke, 2002). However, the elytra densely clothed with thick black bristle-like hairs on non-pubescent region, shows the distinct difference with Anoplophora. In Anoplophora, the elytra glabrous or pubescent, if the hairs present, commonly thin and soft and scattered over the surface. Further morphological and molecular studies of Mimonemophas and Anoplophora are needed to determine their relationship., Published as part of Xie, Guanglin, Huang, Jianghua, Wang, Wenkai & Xiang, Lanbin, 2015, First record of the genus Mimonemophas Breuning (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae: Lamiinae: Monochamini) from China with description of a new species, pp. 595-600 in Zootaxa 4057 (4) on pages 595-596, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4057.4.11, http://zenodo.org/record/235588, {"references":["Breuning, S.

Scutellum triangular, with evenly rounded posterior apex. Elytra about 2 times as long as the width across humeri, with sides subparallel and apex rounded; surface finely punctate throughout and finely granulate basally; each elytron with two feeble longitudinal ridges, and apical three fourths with blurry longitudinal striae. Mesosternal process provided with a moderate projection. Legs moderately long, femur slightly clavate, tarsal claw divaricate. Male genitalia. Apex of Tergite VIII broadly truncate with indistinct notch at middle and dense fringe of hairs. In lateral view, tegmen slightly longer than median lobe (including median struts) in line distance from apex to base. Parameres converging and nearly touching at apices, surface clothed with setae of various lengths, apical setae remarkably longer than basal setae, basal ventral surface of parameres depressed laterally, forming a middle longitudinal ridge. Ringed part about 3 times as long as parameres, narrowed unequally towards to distal end, each lateral arm strongly geniculated at proximal third and connected with each other by membrane at distal portion. Median lobe (including median struts) moderately bent in lateral view, slightly constricted medially in dorsal view, dorsal apex slightly emarginate, ventral apex shallowly rounded, nearly truncate.

Spermathecal gland long, with extreme base strongly constricted and sclerotized. Remarks. The elytral pubescence on fresh specimens is commonly bluish-green to yellowish-green, sometimes fading to dirty yellow on old specimens. The specimens from Guangxi of China differ slightly from the original description in each elytron with a black spot abutted to the suture in the bluish-green transverse pubescent band before the middle, and another smaller black spot close to the suture in the bluish-green preapical transverse pubescent band. Since the type specimen is unavailable for this study, we consider these differences as individual variation., Published as part of Xie, Guanglin, Huang, Jianghua, Wang, Wenkai & Xiang, Lanbin, 2015, First record of the genus Mimonemophas Breuning (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae: Lamiinae: Monochamini) from China with description of a new species, pp. 595-600 in Zootaxa 4057 (4) on pages 596-599, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4057.4.11, http://zenodo.org/record/235588, {"references":["Breuning, S.

Type species: Morimospasma paradoxum Ganglbauer, 1890. Diagnosis. Frons wider than high. Eye coarsely faceted, inner side deeply emarginate, lower lobe narrow. Scape approximately as long as or slightly shorter than third antennomere, with a developed cicatrix at apex. Pronotum wider than long, with a large central protuberance; lateral spine developed, swollen basally. Elytra connate, nearly oval; surface with tubercles of different size, some of them arranged in rows; apical portion strongly declivous, apices separately rounded. Hind wing reduced, scalelike (Fig. 63). Procoxal cavity closed posteriorly, mesocoxal cavity open at side; mesosternal process broad, not tuberculate; metasternum short. Mesotibia with an oblique groove near external apex; claw divaricate. Distribution. China: Gansu, Qinghai, Ningxia, Shaanxi, Hubei, Sichuan, Chongqing, Guizhou, Zhejiang, Anhui. Biology. Little is known about the biology of this genus. According to the first author���s observation in the field, adults of M. paradoxum Ganglbauer occur from April to August in Hubei, and can be attracted by light trap. Mating and oviposition behaviour on fallen trees of Pinus L. and Castanea Mill. was observed in a field wood pile in the mornings in May and July (Figs 69, 71���72). In close vicinity the male actively approached the female from the rear when the antennae of both sexes stretched transversely toward side. The male held the female with front legs, adjusted the body axis parallel to that of the female, attempted to copulate by bending the abdomen ventrally and stretching out and drawing back the genitalia repeatedly, and finally copulated with the female. When the copulation was disturbed, the male usually terminated initiatively the mating process. Before ovipositing, the female gnawed at the bark surface, cut oviposition slits with mandibles, and then oviposited in the slits., Published as part of Xie, Guanglin, Zou, Xia & Wang, Wenkai, 2014, Note on the genus Morimospasma Ganglbauer with description of two new species from China (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae: Lamiinae), pp. 441-450 in Zootaxa 3873 (4) on page 442, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3873.4.6, http://zenodo.org/record/227157, {"references":["Ganglbauer, L.

Paratype, 1 male, the same locality, 23 July 2010, leg. Guanglin Xie (YZU); 1 female, the same locality, 23 July 2010, leg. Wei Li; 1 female, the same locality, 30 April 2014, Xia Zou(YZU). Distribution. China (Hubei). Description. Female. Length 15–16 mm, maximum width of elytra 7.0 mm. Body black, densely clothed with appressed yellowish-brown pubescence and uniformly mixed with sparse grayish-white pubescence on ventral surface and femora (except for the antenna, scutellum, most of tibia and whole tarsus clothed with grayish-yellow pubescence). Head sparsely punctate; frons wider than long, with a central sulcus extending to occiput; eye coarsely faceted, lower lobe narrow, clearly shorter than gena in front view. Antenna about 1.4 times as long as body; antennal tubercles elevated, widely separated from each other; scape cylindrical, coarsely punctate and rugose, with a developed apical cicatrix; antennomere 3 about as long as scape, slightly longer than antennomere 4, antennomere 4 slightly longer than antennomere 5. Pronotum wider than long, rugose; disc with a large central protuberance, center of the protuberance strongly depressed towards front and forming a broad gap, posterior portion of the protuberance slightly narrowed with a middle longitudinal groove; each side with a blunt spine before the middle. Scutellum small, triangular. Elytra connate, nearly oval, convex, steeply declivous behind the middle, apices separately rounded; each elytron with tubercles with top glabrous and slightly pointed backward arranged in 4 longitudinal rows: the first row with tubercles smallest and inconspicuous, along the suture and not reaching the apex; the second row at inner fourth of elytron, from basal fourth to the top of declivity, with a large and blunt basal ridge composed of 5 to 7 tubercles; the third row at the middle of elytron, from basal fourth to apical fourth, composed of 4 to 5 strongly raised tubercles; the fourth row behind the humerus, reaching to the center of apical fourth, composed of about 10 dentate tubercles, the remaining surface scattered with small tubercles. Procoxal cavity closed posteriorly, mesocoxal cavity open at side. Legs long, femora sparsely punctate on apical half, metafemur about as long as abdomen. Female genitalia. Spermatheca approximately U-shaped, tubular, consisting of a basal membranous and apical sclerotized part, basal membranous tube crescent-shaped, sclerotized tube acutely curved near the joint between the membranous and sclerotized tube, the apical section of sclerotized tube slightly curved in the same direction as the membranous tube, acute distally (Fig. 74). Spermathecal duct is borne at the middle of bursa copulatrix; spermathecal gland is borne at the joint of membranous and sclerotized part of spermatheca. Male. Length 16.0 mm, maximum width of elytra 7.0 mm. Similar to female, antenna about 2.2 times as long as body, antennomere 3 slightly longer than scape; the tubercles of outside 3 rows on each elytron more elevated, partly coalesced and distinctly pointed backward apically, metafemur longer than abdomen. Comments. The new species is similar to M. tuberculatum Breuning and M. jiangi sp. nov. in appearance, but the elytra are without black maculae (Figs 59, 62). Etymology. The species is named after the type locality Dalaoling. Chinese name spells as Dàlǎolǐng Jùliútiānniú in Chinese phonetic alphabet.

Morimospasma granulutum Chiang, 1981 (Fig. 9) Morimospasma granulutum, Chiang, 1981: 80; Chiang et at., 1985: 103; Hua, 2002: 217; Hua et al., 2009: 230, 373; Hubweber et al., 2010: 268. Body size. Female: length 14.5 mm, maximum width of elytra 7.5 mm (based on originally description). Material examined. No materials are available for this study. Distribution. China: Shaanxi. Comments. The holotype was not found in the collection of Southwest University. The species was originally described based on a female specimen collected from Mianxian, Shaanxi. According to the original description, it is different from the other species (except M. nitidituberculatus Hua) of the genus by the female antenna being distinctly shorter than the body; it is different from M. nitidituberculatus Hua by the elytra without large tubercles arranged in longitudinal rows. Wang (2005) recorded that the species was distributed in Guizhou based on a male specimen collected from Dashahe Nature Reserve. However, after checking the specimen carefully, the first author found that it was misidentified. In fact, it represents an undescribed species that is described in this paper., Published as part of Xie, Guanglin, Zou, Xia & Wang, Wenkai, 2014, Note on the genus Morimospasma Ganglbauer with description of two new species from China (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae: Lamiinae), pp. 441-450 in Zootaxa 3873 (4) on pages 443-445, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.3873.4.6, http://zenodo.org/record/227157, {"references":["Chiang, S.
