Key words: Cerambycidae, Lamiinae, Oberea, taxonomy, new rank, Korea, Russia. Abstract: Oberea atropunctata m. coreensis Breuning, 1947 (unavailable name) was validated (ICZN, 1999, Art. 45.6.4.1.) by Gressitt (1951: 633), who published it as a subspecies name: Oberea atropunctata coreensis Breuning, 1947. The name is upgraded to species rank. The species is redescribed and recorded from Russian Far East (Ussuri Land) and South Korea (Gangwon-do).
A rather common Korean Oberea was overlooked and misidentified by several authors. First time it was wrongly recorded for Korea by Saito (1932) as O. formosana Pic, 1911, then by Cho (1946) and Lee (1982, 1987) as O. fuscipennis (Chevrolat, 1852); by Lee (1987) as O. atropunctata Pic, 1916. Two Russian specimens of the species (male and female from Primorsky Region) were also wrongly identified as O. atropunctata Pic, 1916 by Danilevsky (1993).
Now it is identified as Oberea coreensis Breuning, 1947, new rank.
Oberea atropunctata m. coreensis Breuning, 1947 (unavailable name) was described from South Korea. The name was validated (ICZN, 1999, Art. 45.6.4.1.) by Gressitt (1951: 633), who published it as a subspecies name: Oberea atropunctata coreensis Breuning, 1947.

Type locality. South Korea - after original description. Description. Body strongly attenuated, very narrow; head orange, genae about 2 times shorter than ventral eye lobe; antennae black or dark brown, in males and in females hardly reaching elytral apices; 3rd antennal joint a little longer than 1st and about as long as 4th, which is shorter than 5th; prothorax always totally orange, cylindrical, about as wide anteriorly as posteriorly; slightly widened near middle; about 1.1 times shorter than basal width; pronotum convex, with small irregular dense punctation, with hardly visible short pale pubescence; elytra yellow with dark lateral areas and apices (humeral angle yellow), with yellow stripe anteriorly on epipleurae; more or less darkened posteriorly - grey-yellow; very narrow and narrowed at middle, about 5 times longer than basal width; with emarginated apices, internal angle obliterated, external angle attenuated in distinct spine; elytral punctation big and distinct,
arranged longitudinally in anterior two thirds of elytra, posteriorly -irregular; meso- and metathorax orange, metathorax could be slightly darkened medially; legs totally orange; abdomen in males orange with black 2nd and 3rd segments, 4 segment could be darkened at middle; in females abdomen orange with laterally darkened 3rd and 4th segments or about totally orange; in males pygydium shallowly emarginated, postpygydium truncated, last abdominal sternite with deep depression nearly reaching its anterior margin, emarginated apically; body length in males: 13.5-17.5 mm, width: 2.0-2.8 mm; body length in females: 15.0-18.0, width: 2.4-2.9 mm. Materials. male, Russia, Far East: "Bujanki, 27-29.06.89, U.Roesileht" (collection of M.L. Danilevsly); 12 males, 5 females (collection of S.-H. Oh): 3 males, 3 females, Republic of Korea, Mt.

Distribution. Only one locality is known in Russia in the south of Primorsky Region: Buyanki environs (about 44°10'9"N, 132°52'41"E) in about 80 km north-eastwards Ussuriysk. Photos of a male and a female of Oberea (s. str.) coreensis Breuning, 1947, new rank (as "Oberea (s. str.) fuscipennis fuscipennis Chevrolat, 1852") were published by Jang et al. (2015: 374) together with a description (in Korean) and an areal map covered the whole territory of Korean Peninsula. The species must be also distributed in North China. Biology. Imagoes are active in June-July. The food-plant of the species must be Celastrus orbiculatus Thunb. The specimens were observed flying around that plant after 4 pm to sunset, and are most active during fluorescence of the plant. They take a rest and copulate
on the leaves.
Note. Lin (2015: 246) published photos of holotype-male of Oberea simplex Gressitt, 1942 described from Anhwei, East China. That very close species has less narrow body, with smaller elytral punctation less arranged longitudinally.
Oberea fuscipennis (Chevrolat, 1852) described from "Schangai" has totally pale elytra and totally pale abdomen. Photo of the holotype of Isosceles fuscipennis Chevrolat, 1852:was published by Li et al. (2016: 362). Photo of the holotype of Oberea rosi Gressitt, 1940 [= Oberea fuscipennis (Chevrolat, 1852)] from Hainan Is. was published by Lin (2015: 245).
Oberea atropunctata Pic, 1916 described from Yunnan has black humeral elytral angle and partly black legs. Photo of the holotype was published by Li et al. (2017: 127).
