A New Genus Bifidunguiglenea gen. nov. Is Erected for the Species Glenea gestroi Gahan (Cerambycidae: Lamiinae: Saperdini)

Abstract

Bifidunguiglenea gen. nov. is erected for the species Glenea gestroi Gahan, 1894. Bifidunguiglenea gestroi (Gahan, 1894) comb. nov. is redescribed. The genitalia descriptions are reported for the first time and it is newly recorded from Thailand.

<i>Blamada rubripronota</i>, a new genus and species of the tribe Saperdini (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae: Lamiinae) from Southeast Asia

“…Differs from all other saperdine genera by the scape of antennae with an expanded and ridged ring at apex, and second antennomere being relatively longer (more than 1/4 of scape in length). It also differs from Eutetrapha, Paraglenea, Heteroglenea (as defined in Lin et al, 2009) and Pareutetrapha by the male claws simple instead of appendiculate (special or normal) or bifid and from Eumecocera and Stenostola by elytra with lateral carinae and male claws simple instead of appendiculate or bifid. The combination of the following characters makes the new genus easily separable from other saperdine genera: prothorax without lateral tubercles, elytra with distinct lateral carinae, elytral apex rounded, male and female claws all simple.…”

“…Breuning (1956Breuning ( , 1958aBreuning ( , 1958b reviewed the genus Glenea Newman, including 35 subgenera. A few genera were described or reinstated recently (Lin, Montreuil et al, 2009;Lin & Tavakilian, 2012;Lin & Holzschuh, 2013).…”

First records of Heteroglenea nigromaculata (Thomson, 1865) (Cerambycidae, Lamiinae, Saperdini) from India

“…The genus Heteroglenea Gahan, 1897 (Cerambycidae, Lamiinae, Saperdini) was erected by Gahan (1897) with Glenea nigromaculata Thomson, 1865 (now Heteroglenea nigromaculata) as the type species and distinguished from the genus Glenea Newman, 1842 on the basis of the bifid anterior claws on all tarsi and the lack of distinct lateral carinae on the elytra (Gahan 1897; see also Lin and Tavakilian 2012). Many authors (e.g., Breuning 1956;Rondon and Breuning 1970) overlooked these characters, treated Heteroglenea as a synonym of Glenea, and continued to use Glenea for H. nigromaculata.…”
