摘要

Aspidapion (Koestlinia) motschulskyi (Hochhuth, 1847) (comb.n., stat.rev.) is removed from synonymy with Aspidapion (Koestlinia) aeneum (FABRICIUS, 1775), redescribed and figured. A lectotype is designated for Apion motschulskyi Hochhuth, 1847. Aspidapion motschulskyi is recorded from Israel, Lebanon, Syria, Cyprus, Turkey, Iran, Afghanistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan. Taphrotopium (s.str.) cuprifulgens (SCHILSKY, 1906) is recorded from Turkey for the first time.
