Reinstatement of the genus Heteroglenea Gahan, with four new combinations, four new synonyms and three new species (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae: Lamiinae: Saperdini)

Abstract

Heteroglenea Gahan, 1897 is reinstated from the synonyms of Glenea (sensu stricto) Newman, 1842, and is redefined. Four taxa are transferred to Heteroglenea: H. fissilis (Breuning, 1953) comb. nov., H. bastiensis (Breuning, 1956) comb. nov., H. momeitensis (Breuning, 1956) comb. nov. and H. mediodiscoprolongata (Breuning, 1964) comb. nov. Glenea mimoluctuosa Breuning, 1968 is considered a junior synonym of H. mediodiscoprolongata (Breuning, 1964). Glenea (G.) palawana Breuning, 1956, G. (G.) guadalcanalana Breuning, 1958, and G. (G.) hamabovola Hayashi, 1975, are considered junior synonyms of H. glechoma (Pascoe, 1867). Heteroglenea vicinalis Lin et Yang sp. nov. from Nepal and India, H. gemella Lin et Yang sp. nov. from Nepal and H. dolosa Lin et Yang sp. nov. from Laos are described. Heteroglenea fissilis and H. mediodiscoprolongata are newly recorded from China. Photographs of habitus and terminalia and a key to the nine valid species of Heteroglenea are presented.

“…Other parts of the male genitalia and also the female genitalia were dry mounted. The terminology used is based on Lingafelter and Hoebeke (2002) , Hubweber and Schmitt (2010) , Yamasako and Ohbayashi (2011) , Lin et al (2009) , Slipiñski and Escalona (2013) , Wallin et al (2014) and Wallin and Kvamme (2015) .…”

“…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

“…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. Recently, Heteroglenea was reinstated by Lin et al (2009), who redefined it with additional characters of the male genitalia, described three new species, commented on and provided synonyms of the six other included species, provided distribution data and key to all species. Thomson's (1865) original Latin description of Glenea nigromaculata is just three and half lines and dealt only with colouration.…”
