REVISION OF THE PURPURICENUS INTERSCAPILLATUS SPECIES - GROUP AND ALLIED TAXA (Coleoptera, Cerambycidae)

Abstract

A systematic study on <em>Purpuricenus interscapillatus</em> Plavilstshikov, 1937 and related species from southern European and Near East areas is here presented. Several changes in rank status and a new synonymy are proposed, and four new subspecies are described as below: <em>Purpuricenus interscapillatus</em> ssp. <em>barbarae</em> n. ssp. (NW Israel); <em>Purpuricenus interscapillatus</em> ssp. <em>hermonensis</em> n. ssp. (NE Israel); <em>Purpuricenus</em> <em>renyvonae</em> ssp. <em>neocaucasicus</em> n. ssp. (Turkey, Caucasus); <em>Purpuricenus</em> <em>globulicollis</em> ssp. <em>skypetarum</em> n. ssp. (Albania). The following nomenclatural changes are also introduced: <em>Purpuricenus interscapillatus</em> ssp. <em>nabataeus</em> Sama, 1999 stat. nov.; <em>Purpuricenus</em> <em>interscapillatus</em> ssp. cornifrons Pesarini & Sabbadini, 1992 stat. nov.; <em>Purpuricenus interscapillatus</em> ssp. <em>longevittatus</em> Pic, 1941 stat. nov.; <em>Purpuricenus apiceniger</em> Pic, 1914 stat. nov. After studying of the type specimen the following new synonymy is also proposed: <em>Purpuricenus kaehleri</em> ssp. <em>menetriesi</em> Motschulsky, 1845 = <em>Purpuricenus budensis</em> var. <em>caucasicus</em> Pic, 1902 syn. n.
