Contribution to the knowledge of leaf beetles of the subfamilies Cryptocephalinae and Chrysomelinae (Coleoptera, Chrysomelidae(from Kazakhstan and Middle Asia

摘要

New species and subspecies of the subfamilies Cryptocephalinae and Chrysomelinae from Middle Asia are described as follows. Cryptocephalus macrodactylus levipes subsp, n. from Kirgizia (Naryntau); C. tarsalis submontanus subsp, n. from S Tajikistan (Gazimaylik Mt. Range); C. sarafschanensis sugatensis subsp. n. from E. Kazakhstan (Sugary Mt. Range); Chrysolina dolini sp. n. from SE Kazakhstan (Dzungar Ala Tau Mt. Range), closely related to Ch. ballioni Lop.; Oreomela borealis sp. n. from SE Kazakhstan (Suuktobe Mt. Range), similar to O. semenovi Jcbs.; O. puncticollis sp. n. from SE Kazakhstan (Dzungar Ala Tau Mt. Range), similar to O. celyphoides Jcbs.; O. gracilis sp. n. from Kirgizia (Terskei Ala Tau Mt. Range), similar to O. zaslavskii Lop. A new subgenus Pseudocrosita subgen, n. (type species Crosita bactriana Lop.) is erected in the genus Chrysolina Motsch. Cryptocephalus macrodactylus Gebl. and C. tarsalis Wse. are retained in the subgenus Heterichnus Warchalowski. The following new synonymy is established: Chrysolina imperfecta (Breit) = Ch. kaltenbachi (Jakob), syn. n.; Chrysolina lia (Jcbs.) =Ch. haarlovi (Jakob), syn. n.; Chrysolina sanguinolenta (L.) =Ch. latecincta breiti (Franz), syn. n. The type material on the new forms is deposited at the Zoological Institute, St. Petersburg.
