The paper describes Youngeewa simillima sp. nov. from Eocene Baltic amber as a new species within the tribe Mileewini Evans, 1947 (Mileewinae Evans, 1947). Due to its poor condition, the specimen is only tentatively placed in the genus Youngeewa Gębicki Szwedo, 2001, differing from the other known species of the genus, Youngeewa bicolorata Gębicki Szwedo, 2001, mainly by the elements of wing venation.

Schmidt, 1951 Plagionotus plavilstshikovi G. Schmidt, 1951 Plagionotus arcuatus tastani ��zdikmen, Atak & U��kan, 2017 syn. nov. The recently described P. arcuatus tastani (��zdikmen, Atak & U��kan 2017) does not, in our opinion, warrant subspecific status. According with the authors in the original description: ���It is characterized by poor developed transverse stripes behind the middle of elytra especially. Antemedian band of elytra usually (9 males and 11 females of 30 specimens) is more or less complete but sometimes (3 males and 7 females of 30 specimens) is divided into an outer and an inner spots.��� These characters not infrequently occur in specimens from different parts of Europe (Figs. 1.A). As can be seen from this description these characters are not constant even among the specimens from the typical series. The phrase ���erect abdominal setae are not very dense��� is rather imprecise and could refer to many specimens of any subspecies of P. arcuatus. The type locality of P. a. tastani ��zdikmen, Atak & U��kan 2017 (Kocaeli province in Turkey) lies not very far from the contiguous distribution range of P. a. arcuatus, and it is hard to imagine that the Bosphorus strait constitutes a real barrier to the various subspecies, especially as specimens of this synonymized taxon differ in no way from those caught in the Turkish Strandzha region, close to the frontier with Bulgaria (Fig. 5). ��zdikmen & Turgut (2009), writing about P. arcuatus state that ���It distributes mostly in North and West Turkey ���; in our opinion, this information applies to the nominative subspecies., Published as part of Kr��lik, Roman, Kruszelnicki, Lech, Laso��, Andrzej & Walczak, Marcin, 2021, Notes on the subspecies of Plagionotus arcuatus (Linnaeus, 1758) with description of a new subspecies from Iran (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae), pp. 558-568 in Zootaxa 4942 (4) on page 560, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4942.4.4, http://zenodo.org/record/4612718, {"references":["Ozdikmen, H., Atak, S. & Uckan, F.

Plagionotus arcuatus shirazensis ssp. nov. Description. The external morphology of the new subspecies most resembles the nominative form Plagionotus arcuatus arcuatus (Figs. 1.A���B). Body length 11.5���16.0 mm (holotype 15.5 mm), width 3.0���5.2 mm (holotype 5.0 mm). Integument black except antennae and part of the legs, covered by recumbent black pubescence with spots and stripes formed from dense yellow pubescence. Head densely and deeply punctate with yellow pubescence on frons, and in vertex, partly around the eyes and with wide yellow band just behind the eyes. Antennae yellow, relatively long, reaching third (preapical) stripe in males, and second (postmedian) stripe in females. Pronotum transverse; 1.2 (males) and 1.4 (females) times as wide as long; sides rounded, widest just below midpoint. Pronotum deeply punctate, slightly pale, protruding hairs on sides and base. Pronotum with large stripe on anterior margin, sometimes reduced and interrupted centrally, and two oblique patches laterally, situated in slight depressions. No spots at base of pronotum, but a few white hairs sometimes visible on the sides of its base. Scutellum triangular, covered with yellow pubescence. Elytra long, almost parallel-sided up to 2/3 of their length; anteriorly with small humeral spots; first transverse elytral stripe (antemedian) large, ���zigzag-shape���, on central part of each elytron arched forwards, on presutural part extended posteriorly and then directed forward, towards the scutellum, sometimes with a short break in the part of this stripe along the suture. Second transverse stripe (postmedian) relatively wide, strongly arched forward in the middle of each elytron. Distance between first and second transverse stripes smaller than width of area occupied by the first or second stripe (Fig. 2G). Third transverse stripe (preapical) widest in sutural part, gradually tapering to the middle of elytron and bending backwards. Apical stripe covers the end of each elytron in a wide arc, extending farther forwards along the suture. Elytral punctation very dense and relatively thin, evenly distributed across the whole elytral surface. Legs yellow, only the mid parts of pro- and mesofemora black. Ventral part black with bands and spots of dense yellow pubescence: four spots on sides of prosternum, two on anterior margin, two beyond procoxae; elongated patches on elytral epipleurum reaching centre of metaepisternum; two spots on mesoventrite beyond mesocoxae and one on mesoventral process; whole metaventrite covered by yellow, dense pubescence except for middle and anterior parts (behind mesocoxae), anterior region of metaepisternum hairless, a large spot in its posterior region; all abdominal sternites covered with dense yellow pubescence, only very small hairless spaces at base of first sternite and between other sternites. Male genitalia. Tegmen (Fig. 3A) and aedeagus (Fig. 3B). Differential diagnosis. The new subspecies is similar to the nominative form, Plagionotus arcuatus arcuatus (Figs. 1.A���B). It differs from the latter by the more distinctly parallel-sided elytra, and from all known subspecies, including the nominative one, by the more convoluted pattern on the elytra. This is best seen in the shape of the antemedian stripe, which is usually continuous transversally, very often unbroken along the suture, and curves strongly backwards near the suture, closely approaching the second, postmedian stripe (Fig. 2G). The pubescence of the ventral side of the body is dense (Figs. 2C���D), particularly on the abdominal sternites, which are almost completely covered by yellow pubescence, in contrast to the other subspecies, where the pubescence covers, at most, the posterior half of each sternite. It is worth noting that in the additional material analysed there was one specimen of P. a. arcuatus from Turkey, Tunceli Prov., in which the appearance of the ventral pubescence is similar to that in P. a. shirazensis (Figs. 2C���D). However, the arrangement of the stripes on the elytra is typical for the P. a. arcuatus (Fig. 2F). In our opinion, the transverse elytral stipes is the main feature to distinguish the subspecies of P. a. sirazensis. More pronounced ventral pubescence is a constant characteristic of this subspecies, however, it cannot be the only determinant trait to identified it. Etymology. The species is named after Shiraz, the city in southern Iran at the foot of the Zagros Mountains, the administrative centre of Fars Province and the former capital of Persia. Larval host plants, habitat. Very probably Quercus macranthera Fisch. & C.A.Mey. ex Hohen. All the specimens were caught on dead or moribund oak trunks. Most likely it is found in sunny, rarely covered oak forests, and even in small clumps of oaks (Figs. 4A���B). Additional material examined: Plagionotus arcuatus arcuatus.

Key to subspecies of Plagionotus arcuatus (Linnaeus, 1758) Because of the rather small number of voucher specimens available to us, we have constructed our key mainly based on the original descriptions, stating the dominant characters in each subspecies. There are specimens, however, which deviate in appearance from most members of their subspecies. For example: P. a. lugubris with red legs and antennae, and yellowish spots and stripes or else with uninterrupted elytral stripes; P. a. kirgizicus with exceptionally prominent median stripes on the pronotum and head (see Lazarev 2010); P. a. arcuatus with very dense pubescence on the sternites (Figs. 1.A���B). In our opinion, such deviant specimens confirm the close relationship between the various subspecies, and their sporadic occurrence in no way undermine the validity of dividing P. arcuatus into subspecies. These comments should be borne in mind when using the key given below. 1. Pronotum with well developed pale stripes on the anterior margin and in its middle part, head with distinct stripe of yellow pubescence behind the eyes (Fig. 3C).................................................................... 2. - Pronotum and head usually without or with only very slightly developed pale stripes (Fig. 3D)....................... 4. 2. Yellow stripes and spots on whole body well developed: first transverse elytral stripe (antemedian) large, ���zigzag-like���, distance between first and second transverse stripe much smaller than width of first or second stripe (Fig. 2G); abdominal sternites almost covered by yellow, dense pubescence (Fig. 2C���D).

Plagionotus arcuatus shirazensis ssp. nov. Description. The external morphology of the new subspecies most resembles the nominative form Plagionotus arcuatus arcuatus (Figs. 1.A–B). Body length 11.5–16.0 mm (holotype 15.5 mm), width 3.0–5.2 mm (holotype 5.0 mm). Integument black except antennae and part of the legs, covered by recumbent black pubescence with spots and stripes formed from dense yellow pubescence. Head densely and deeply punctate with yellow pubescence on frons, and in vertex, partly around the eyes and with wide yellow band just behind the eyes. Antennae yellow, relatively long, reaching third (preapical) stripe in males, and second (postmedian) stripe in females. Pronotum transverse; 1.2 (males) and 1.4 (females) times as wide as long; sides rounded, widest just below midpoint. Pronotum deeply punctate, slightly pale, protruding hairs on sides and base. Pronotum with large stripe on anterior margin, sometimes reduced and interrupted centrally, and two oblique patches laterally, situated in slight depressions. No spots at base of pronotum, but a few white hairs sometimes visible on the sides of its base. Scutellum triangular, covered with yellow pubescence. Elytra long, almost parallel-sided up to 2/3 of their length; anteriorly with small humeral spots; first transverse elytral stripe (antemedian) large, “zigzag-shape”, on central part of each elytron arched forwards, on presutural part extended posteriorly and then directed forward, towards the scutellum, sometimes with a short break in the part of this stripe along the suture. Second transverse stripe (postmedian) relatively wide, strongly arched forward in the middle of each elytron. Distance between first and second transverse stripes smaller than width of area occupied by the first or second stripe (Fig. 2G). Third transverse stripe (preapical) widest in sutural part, gradually tapering to the middle of elytron and bending backwards. Apical stripe covers the end of each elytron in a wide arc, extending farther forwards along the suture. Elytral punctation very dense and relatively thin, evenly distributed across the whole elytral surface. Legs yellow, only the mid parts of pro- and mesofemora black. Ventral part black with bands and spots of dense yellow pubescence: four spots on sides of prosternum, two on anterior margin, two beyond procoxae; elongated patches on elytral epipleurum reaching centre of metaepisternum; two spots on mesoventrite beyond mesocoxae and one on mesoventral process; whole metaventrite covered by yellow, dense pubescence except for middle and anterior parts (behind mesocoxae), anterior region of metaepisternum hairless, a large spot in its posterior region; all abdominal sternites covered with dense yellow pubescence, only very small hairless spaces at base of first sternite and between other sternites. Male genitalia. Tegmen (Fig. 3A) and aedeagus (Fig. 3B). Differential diagnosis. The new subspecies is similar to the nominative form, Plagionotus arcuatus arcuatus (Figs. 1.A–B). It differs from the latter by the more distinctly parallel-sided elytra, and from all known subspecies, including the nominative one, by the more convoluted pattern on the elytra. This is best seen in the shape of the antemedian stripe, which is usually continuous transversally, very often unbroken along the suture, and curves strongly backwards near the suture, closely approaching the second, postmedian stripe (Fig. 2G). The pubescence of the ventral side of the body is dense (Figs. 2C–D), particularly on the abdominal sternites, which are almost completely covered by yellow pubescence, in contrast to the other subspecies, where the pubescence covers, at most, the posterior half of each sternite. It is worth noting that in the additional material analysed there was one specimen of P. a. arcuatus from Turkey, Tunceli Prov., in which the appearance of the ventral pubescence is similar to that in P. a. shirazensis (Figs. 2C–D). However, the arrangement of the stripes on the elytra is typical for the P. a. arcuatus (Fig. 2F). In our opinion, the transverse elytral stipes is the main feature to distinguish the subspecies of P. a. sirazensis. More pronounced ventral pubescence is a constant characteristic of this subspecies, however, it cannot be the only determinant trait to identified it. Etymology.
