Type species: Chrysomela aeruginosa Faldermann,</p> <p>1835, by original designation. Synonymised with Allohypericia Bechyné, 1950 by</p> <p>Bieńkowski, 2019: 5.</p> <p>REMARKS. Chrysomela lobicollis Fairmaire, 1887 was originally designated as a type species of the subgenus Allohypericia Bechyné, 1950. Subsequent authors (Gressitt &amp; Kimoto,</p> <p>1963; Mohr, 1966; Bieńkowski, 2001, 2007) considered Ch. lobicollis conspecific to Ch.</p> <p>aeruginosa. But Bourdonné (2010) examined a type specimen of Ch. lobicollis in MNHMP</p> <p>and found that this taxon belongs to the subgenus Anopachys Motschulsky, 1860. Subse-</p> <p>quently the name Allohypericia became a junior synonym of Anopachys (Bourdonné, 2010)</p> <p>and therefore the new subgenus Bourdonneana Kippenberg, 2010 was established for the species earlier included in Allohypericia except for Ch. lobicollis.</p> <p>Bieńkowski (2019) disagreed with the above mentioned acts and stated that Bechyné</p> <p>(1950) incorrectly and unintentionally identified the type species Ch. lobicollis. He proved this point of view by the examination of a specimen from the G. Frey’s collection (NHMB)</p> <p>with the label: " Chrysolina lobicollis Frm. Det. Dr. J. Bechyné 1950 " identified as Ch. aeruginosa poricollis. That is why Bieńkowski (2019) for the stability of the nomenclature used</p> <p>Article 70.3 of the Code (ICZN, 1999) and designated Taeniosticha poricollis Motschulsky,</p> <p>1860 as a type species of the subgenus Allohypericia to make this subgeneric name valid.</p> <p>However, this act proved to be unnecessary because of the present designation of lectotype of</p> <p>Chrysomela lobicollis found in NMPC. The designation of the lectotype below restores the initial status of Chrysomela lobicollis as a type species of Allohypericia by the original designation and once again proves the validity of Allohypericia that is not a synonym of</p> <p>Anopachys.</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/004F50789559FFD4FE1C9FCAFEB823D8	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Anterior angles produced, triangular; basal angles acute; anterior side margined and ciliate; basal edge arcuately convex. Lateral sides swollen along entire length, lateral callus narrow, lateral impression moderately deep and filled with coarse punctures partly coalescent in basal half. Prothoracic hypomera slightly convex, smooth, outer side almost flat and covered with wrinkles, basal fold not pronounced; prosternal process almost flat longitudinally, covered with coarse punctures; anterolateral portion of prosternum narrow,</p> <p>with slightly impressed furrow medially; prosternum 1.35x shorter than metasternum; metasternum 1.1x shorter than first ventrite.

Last ventrite slightly convex, with slightly incised apex, medially almost impunctate.</p> <p>REMARKS. Chrysomela lobicollis Fairmaire, 1887 was synonymised with Chrysolina</p> <p>(Allohypericia) aeruginosa poricollis (Motschulsky, 1860) by Bieńkowski (2001) without examination of any types. Bourdonné (2010) resurrected Chrysomela lobicollis from the synonymy with Ch. aeruginosa poricollis and transferred it to the subgenus Anopachys,</p> <p>however, in this note or later he did not give any redescription or figures and did not designate the examined specimen as lectotype. The specimen of Ch. lobicollis (male) from MNHNP</p> <p>labeled by J.-C. Bourdonné in 2002 as " holotype " was examined by Bieńkowski (2019). In fact this specimen is a syntype, because Fairmaire (1887) did not indicate a number of type specimens. The peculiar aedeagus shape of this syntype proves its position in the subgenus</p> <p>Anopachys close to Chrysolina aurichalcea.</p> <p>However, in the collection of NMPC I found another syntype of Chrysomela lobicollis, a female (Fig. 1) that was studied by Bechyné (1950) because he mentioned the data from these labels. For the stability of the nomenclature according to Article 74 of the Code (ICZN,</p> <p>1999) and because this has not been done before I designate this specimen as a lectotype of</p> <p>Chrysomela lobicollis.</p> <p>The comparison of lectotype of Ch. lobicollis with the representatives of the subgenera</p> <p>Anopachys and Allohypericia shows that it is exactly belongs to the latter (according to the original intention and taxonomical feeling of J. Bechyné). Having elytra with regular rows of large punctures, dorsum moderately shining and bronzy-black, all tarsomeres 1 with glabrous stripe beneath, pygidium with deep groove along entire length, it can be treated conspecific with Chrysolina aeruginosa (Faldermann, 1835). This was earlier found by Mohr (1966),</p> <p>who treated it as a subspecies of Ch. aeruginosa. But from five currently recognized subspecies of Ch. aeruginosa every one can be found in China (Yang et al., 2015; Bieńkowski,</p> <p>2019). The nominotypical subspecies occurs in North and North-West parts of China, ssp.</p> <p>chingana Bechyné, 1952, ssp. muralis (Csiki, 1901) and ssp. poricollis (Motschulsky, 1860)</p> <p>in North-East part of China, and ssp. kabana Lopatin, 2009 in Gansu. The proper revision of these subspecies has never been done and their distribution is not well documented. However,</p> <p>the preliminary keys to subspecies of Ch. aeruginosa are available (Yang et al., 2015; Bieńkowski, 2019). According to them and the comparison with the lectotype of Taeniosticha poricollis Motschulsky, 1860 in ZMMU I can prove that Chrysomela lobicollis Fairmaire is a synonym of Ch. aeruginosa poricollis (Motschulsky, 1860).</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/004F5078955AFFD2FF1E9DEAFCCC26C8	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Aedeagus with slightly narrowed and broadly rounded apex and sharp denticles ventrally at its sides (Fig. 5).</p> <p>DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS. Among Allohypericia only one species has all tarsomeres</p> <p>1 entirely pubescent beneath in both sexes, namely Ch. mauroi Lopatin, 2005 from Sichuan.</p> <p>Besides tarsal pubescense it similarly has impression in basal half of pygidium and similar aedeagus shape (Fig. 6).</p> <p>REMARKS. Bechyné (1950) compared Ch. pubitarsis with Ch. lobicollis and Ch.</p> <p>aeruginosa and placed it in the subgenus Allohypericia. Although he noted its difference from all other members of this subgenus in tarsi wholly pubescent beneath in both sexes.</p> <p>Bieńkowski (2001) examined one female determined by J. Bechyné as " Ch. pubitarsis " and found this specimen conspecific with Ch. difficilis. This specimen was not syntype, moreover it was collected not in Beijing, but in Manchuria. However based solely on such questionable material Bieńkowski (2001, 2019) placed Ch. pubitarsis in the subgenus Hypericia Bedel,</p> <p>1892 and synonymised it with Ch. difficilis.</p> <p>I found the type of Chrysolina pubitarsis in the collection of NMPC. It is a male but nobody prepared the aedeagus before. Although the specimen is not entirely mature, the aedeagus shape is clear (Fig. 5). I did not find the female syntype but according to the original description it existed and had all tarsomeres 1 entirely pubescent beneath. However, it is possible that female is not conspecific with the male type. Here I designate the lectotype of</p> <p>Chrysolina pubitarsis and confirm that it is a representative of subgenus Allohypericia as originally stated by J. Bechyné. The redescription is given above because the original description of this species (Bechyné, 1950) is brief and includes mainly differential diagnosis.</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/004F5078955CFFD0FF1E98FDFBA12647	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Prothoracic hypomera slightly convex, outer side almost flat and shagreened with impression at basal 1/4 covered with merged coarse punctures; basal fold pronounced and very deep; prosternal process slightly convex longitudinally; anterolateral portion of prosternum narrow, with slightly impressed furrow medially; prosternum 1.5x shorter than metasternum; metasternum of the same length as first ventrite. Scutellum triangular, with sparse, fine punctures.</p> <p>sp. n.: 9 – holotype; 10 – paratype; 11 – Ch. (Pleurosticha) shapkini Mikhailov et Gus’kova</p> <p>(Mongolia, Mongolian Altai); 12 – Ch. borochorensis Lopatin, paratype (China, Tien-Shan</p> <p>Mountains). Scale bars = 1 mm.</p> <p>Elytra with very weak humeral callus and flat intervals, each elytron 2.25 times longer than wide, elytral length 4.2 mm. Medium-sized primary punctures form scutellar row of 8–9</p> <p>punctures and 9 partly confused rows, from which rows 4 - 6 strongly confused. Secondary puncturation consists of very fine and fine punctures; latter almost of the same size as on pronotum, they predominate on odd intervals and together with fine wrinkles conceal puncture rows. Marginal stria with large sparse impressed punctures. Sutural stria distinct at apical slope. Epipleura inclined outside, visible along entire length. Hind wings absent.</p> <p>Tarsi only slightly broadened, fore tarsi 2.5x as long as broad, ratio of width of fore tarsomeres 1–3 as 1.1, 0.9, 1.2. All tarsomeres with entire sole beneath.</p> <p>Abdomen: pygidium without any impressions. Ventrite 1 broadly margined on anterior edge, covered with sparse medium-sized punctures, only anterior intercoxal process covered with large wrinkles. Last ventrite very slightly convex, with slightly incised apex, medially covered with sparse medium-sized punctures. Aedeagus (Fig. 9) laterally crescent with slightly broadened rounded triangular apex and small alae.</p> <p>Variability. Male (paratype). Body length 5.4 mm, width 3.5 mm. Dorsum shining, bicolor,</p> <p>elytra violetish green, pronotum and head green with bronze reflex. Aedeagus slightly different from holotype (Fig. 10).</p> <p>Female. Body moderately convex, obovate; length 6.1–7.1 mm, width 4.0– 4.4 mm. Dorsum shining, finely shagreened, unicolor green with violet reflex, golden green or bicolor, elytra emerald green, pronotum and head green with violet or bronze reflex (Fig. 8). Underside,</p> <p>legs, antennae same colour as in males. Tarsi narrow, fore tarsi 2.3x as long as broad, ratio of width of fore tarsomeres 1–3 as 1.1, 0.9, 1.2. All tarsomeres with entire sole beneath.</p> <p>DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS. Habitus and colour pattern is somewhat similar to the representatives of Allohypericia, namely Ch. centralasiae Lopatin, 1970 but pronotum structure and absence of wings readily distinguish the new species. The combination of characters makes it a member of the subgenus Arctolina and the first representative of this subgenus in the</p> <p>Chinese part of Altai Mountains. The closely related subgenus Pleurosticha Motschulsky,</p> <p>1860 also has the only representative Ch. shapkini Mikhailov et Gus’kova, 2013 recently described from Mongolian Altai (Hovd aimak of Mongolia). This species also has flat elytral intervals but peculiar aedeagus shape with larger and much more exposed alae (Fig. 11).</p> <p>Two previously known Chinese Arctolina species were found in Tien-Shan Mountains.</p> <p>The combination of such peculiar characters as slightly broadened male tarsi, completely flat elytral intervals with confused rows of relatively small punctures, which are hardly visible and concealed by secondary puncturation, readily distinguish the new species in the subgenus.</p> <p>Ch. borochorensis and Ch. boreosinica have somewhat similar aedeagus shape (Fig. 12), but both have dilated male tarsi, regular rows of large and dense elytral punctures with flat or convex intervals and shallow pronotal impressions. In some species from Dzhungarian Alatau,</p> <p>namely Ch. kryzhanovskii (Lopatin, 1968) and Ch. valichanovi Lopatin, 1990, males also have flat elytral intervals, but in females intervals are convex. The new species has flat elytral intervals in both sexes and different aedeagus shape.</p> <p>ETYMOLOGY. The name is derived from the Latinized common local name Chingil</p> <p>(also Chinggil or Qingil) of the Qinghe County, where the type locality is situated.</p></div> 	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/004F5078955EFFDFFF1E9986FC17270B	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
