038F8782FFCAFFB5FF2E0E96AF9139BF.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Belongs to the group of willow-dwelling uniformly green cryptic species. Very similar to M. iliensis Mityaev, 1971, but can be distinguished from latter by the more strongly convergent sternal apodemes with overlapping tips (separated by narrow gap or only touching each other in M. iliensis, Figs. 226 - 229), smaller size (♂, 3.8 – 4.3 mm, ♀, 4.4 – 5.0 mm in M. iliensis), and brighter coloration. Differs from all other Central Asian members of this group by 2 nd sternal apodemes with tips overlapping or at least touching each other. Different from all green willow-dwelling Macropsis species from Russia, Kazakhstan and Central Asia in the temporal pattern of calling signals. Host. Salix alba (section Salix). Calling signal. Signal consists of prolonged phrases lasting up to 1 – 2 min each (Figs. 23 – 30). Each phrase includes two parts. The first part consists of a succession of syllables following against a background of constant low-amplitude vibrations (Figs. 25, 28, 32 – 35, first halves of oscillograms, and Fig. 31). The second part is a highamplitude trill sounding like a monotonous buzz (Figs. 25, 28, 32 – 35, second halves of oscillograms, and Fig. 37). Occasionally the second part is divided by gaps into several discrete fragments (Figs. 24, 26, 30). Often the first part is more or less reduced (Figs. 27, 29).	en	Tishechkin, Dmitri Yu.

038F8782FFCDFFBFFF2E0EB3A8FC3C9B.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Differs from poplar- and willow-feeding Macropsis species by narrow penis in side view. Differs from other Palaearctic Macropsis species by pale greenish coloration and unmarked head, pro- and mesonotum. Superficially similar to M. elaeagnicola Dubovskiy, 1966, but differs from it by short and wide 2 nd abdominal apodemes (longer and narrower in M. elaeagnicola, Figs. 80 – 84), blunted style tips (elongated and pointed in M. elaeagnicola, Figs. 87 – 88), larger size (♂, 3.0 – 3.3 mm; ♀, 3.6 – 3.9 mm in M. elaeagnicola), and calling signal pattern. Host. Elaeagnus spp. Calling signal. Signal is a succession of repeated syllables lasting for about 1 - 1.5 s each (Figs. 89 – 94). Typically, each syllable includes a train of pulses followed by several discrete ones (Figs. 95 – 104). Both shape and duration of syllables can vary even within the same signal (Figs. 90, 96 – 97) or in the males from the same sample (Figs. 91, 98 – 100). Signals of males resembling M. cyanescens in genitalia traits do not differ from the signals of typical M. elaeagni.	en	Tishechkin, Dmitri Yu.

038F8782FFCDFFBFFF2E0EB3A8FC3C9B.taxon	discussion	Remarks. M. cyanescens was described from Ferghana Valley and foothills in its South-Western part. According to the original description (Dubovskiy, 1966), it differs from closely related M. elaeagni by longer penis with elongate apex, styles expanded in preapical part, and rather long pygofer processes (Figs. 62 – 63, M. elaeagni sensu Dubovskiy, 1966 and 64 – 65, M. cyanescens sensu Dubovskiy, 1966). We failed to find differences in pygofer process length between samples of specimens from different localities in Central Asia. Males with a more or less expanded preapical part of the styles were found almost in every population along with typical M. elaeagni (e. g. Figs. 72 – 75, males from Kara-Bulak, South Kyrgyzstan or 78 – 79, males from Ferghana Mtn. Range, 15 km North- East of Bazar-Korgon). Males with different penis shape also can be found in every sufficiently large sample from Southern Kyrgyzstan (Figs. 67 – 71). In addition, occasionally the combination of expanded styles (as in M. cyanescens) and rather short penis (as in M. elaeagni sensu Dubovskiy, 1966) can be found in the same male (Figs. 76 – 77). 2 nd abdominal apodemes in all males have the shape characteristic of M. elaeagni (Fig. 66) irrespective of genitalia shape. Also, in calling signal pattern all males investigated fall into M. elaeagni. On this basis we establish the synonymy of M. cyanescens Dubovskiy, 1966 under M. elaeagni Emelyanov, 1964.	en	Tishechkin, Dmitri Yu.
