Key words: Taxonomy, zoogeography, new subspecies, Coleoptera, Cerambycidae, Tetrops, Turkmenia, Azerbaijan, Armenia, Georgia, Ukraine, Russia. Abstract: Three new subspecies are described: Tetrops gilvipes efetovi ssp. n. from Crimea on the base of differently colored specimens with black and yellow elytra; T. g. murzini ssp. n. from Kopet-Dag Ridge (Turkmenia) and Talysh (Azerbaijan) on the base of specimens with black elytra; T. g. adelbaueri ssp. n. from West Europe (type locality: Zavist, Czechia) on the base of specimens with yellow elytra; Tetrops gilvipes niger Kraatz, 1859 is regarded as a subspecies distributed in Italy and France.
The taxonomic position of T. gilvipes can not be regarded as generally accepted (Sama, 2002). For example: according to Plavilstshikov (1932) and Villiers (1967) it is a subspecies of T. praeusta (Linnaeus, 1758); according to Winkler (1929), Kaszab (1971) and Sama (1988) it is a synonym of T. praeusta - black form; according to Heyrovsky (1955) T. gilvipes includes T. starkii Chevrolat, 1859 as a synonym; according to Bense (1995), Villiers (1978) and Berger (2012) it includes T. niger Kraatz, 1859 as a synonym and so on. The separation of T. praeusta and T. gilvipes was shown by Starzyk & Lessaer (1978). Besides larvae T. gilvipes can be easily differed (Danilevsky, Miroshnikov, 1985) from T. praeusta by numerous fine spiculae which cover abdominal segments, while in T. praeusta abdominal spiculae are big and scattered.

Type locality. Republic of Armenia. The type locality of Tetrops gilvipes (Faldermann, 1837) was not mentioned in the original description. Most of taxa described by F. Faldermann (1937) in "Fauna entomologica transcaucasica" seems to be connected with Iran or Azerbaijan. But one taxon is definitely connected with Armenia - Dorcadion indutum Faldermann, 1937 and several taxa with species absent in East Azerbaijan or Iran but very common in Armenia like Mallosia scovitzi Faldermann, 1937 or Rhagium fasciculatum Faldermann, 1937. So, for the stability of generally accepted sense of the name Tetrops gilvipes, it is necessary to accept Armenia as its type locality, though most of available specimens of the typical subspecies were collected in North-West Caucasus and Georgia. T. gilvipes was definitely recorded for Armenia
(Plavilstsshikov, 1948: 200 - Sevan, Alagez; Holzschuh, 1981: 81 -"russisch Armenien").
Diagnosis. Body black with black or yellow elytra; frons distinctly punctated; antennae totally black, in males about as long as body or a little shorter, in females never rich elytral apices; 3rd antennal joint about as long as 1st; prothorax a little shorter than middle width, distinctly attenuated at base and widened near middle; pronotum shining, with fine scattered punctation; elytra densely punctated with dark or pale pubescence; legs usually totally yellow, or with partly dark middle and hind femora; last abdominal tergit in males rounded, in females - truncated; penis with sharp attenuated apex, parameres relatively wide and short (Starzyk & Lessaer, 1978: 40); body length in males: 3.0-4.9 mm, width: 0.9-1.4 mm; body length in females: 3.7-5.8 mm, width: 1.0 - 1.6 mm.
Genital structures (Starzyk & Lessaer, 1978: 40) is a good character to distinguish T. gilvipes from similar colored specimens of T.praeusta. In T. praeusta penis with shorter apex, parameres long and narrow (Starzyk & Lessaer, 1978: 40).
Distribution. From West Europe to Turkmenia, including Greece (Berger, 2000), Crimea, Caucasus with Transcaucasia, South Turkmenia (Kopet-Dag), North Iran and North-East Turkey (Artvin). The record of T. gilvipes for "Sibirien (Werchne Udinsk)" by Shmidt (1958) was definitely connected with Tetrops mongolicus Murzin, 1977. But the reasons of his record for West Siberia (with the reference to Gebler) are not clear, though it was supposed by Tsherepanov (1985) for South Urals.
The species consists of 5 subspecies. The nomenclature status of Greek population discovered by Berger (2000) rests uncertain.

Tetrops praeusta praeusta, Bartenev, 2004: 39 (= nigra Kr.), part. - from West Europe and North Africa to Kazakhstan; 2009: 336 (= nigra Kr.), part. -from West Europe and North Africa to Kazakhstan;
Type locality. Crimea, Simferopol.
Diagnosis. Pronotum moderately punctated with erect pale setae; elytra from totally yellow to totally dark-brown, often yellow with dark apex; covered by pale erect pubescence, with rather distinct punctation; legs totally yellow; body length in males: 4.2-4.9 mm, width: 1.1-1.2 mm; body length in females: 3.9-5.1 mm, width: 1.11.3mm.
T. g. efetovi ssp.n. differs from Caucasian T. g. gilvipes by the presence of numerous specimens with yellow elytra, and from European T. g. adlbaueri ssp.n. by the presence of numeous specimens with dark-brown elytra. In fact T. g. efetovi ssp.n. is a
transitional population between T. g. gilvipes and T. g. adlbaueri ssp.n.

Tetrops gilvipes adlbaueri ssp. n. (Figs 7-8)
Tetrops "A", Svacha, 2001: 293 - West Europe.
Type locality. Bohemia, Zavist.
Diagnosis. Pronotum sparsely punctated and sparsely setose; pronotal middle about glabrous with scattered brown erect setae; elytra always yellow with dark apex; strongly punctated, with brown erect setae; legs yellow with more or less darkened middle and hind femora; body length: 4.4-4.6 mm, width: 1.1-1.2 mm.
The base for the separation of the new taxon was the larval structure of so called "Tetrops A" (Svacha, 2001) from West Europe, which is just the same as in T. gilvipes from Caucasus (Danilevsky &
Miroshnikov, 1985) - fine and dense spiculae covering abdominal segments. Imagoes of "Tetrops A" are similar externally to T. praeusta and could be distinguished by male genitalia only. The type series of males of T. g. adlbaueri was received from P.Svâcha as presumably received from the larvae of "T. gilvipes" - type. The study of genitalia of several specimens from that series shows that it really belongs to T. gilvipes.
The problem of the real nature of the type of T. praeusta (L.) rests open, but most probably it belongs to Tetrops "B" sensu Svâcha (2001), as much more numerous species in Europe. Distribution. Most probably the taxon is distributed all over area of European T. praeusta.
Material. Holotype, 1 male, „Bohemia, Za'vist, 21.5.72, Dr. V. Seichert" -MD; Paratypes: 1 male, 1 female, Bohemia, Za'vist, 21.05.1972, Dr. V. Seichert - MD.
Etymology. The new taxon is dedicated to Karl Adlbauer - the famous European Cerambycidae specialist.

Type locality. Italy, Piedmont.
According to Sama (1988) the record of Sardinia in the original description was wrong and the real type locality is "Piedmont, Italy".
Diagnosis. Pronotum with moderately sparse punctation with numerous pale erect setae; elytra usually dark-brown or nearly black with relatively big punctation and pale erect setae; legs are always yellow; sometimes elytra could be yellow similar to T. praeusta, according to a single available male from Susa with totally yellow legs and yellow elytra, but with short and wide parameres typical for T. gilvipes; genital structure in males of T. gilvipes niger is very similar to genitals of males of other subspecies; body length in males: 4.6-4.7 mm, width: 1.1-1.2 mm; body length in a female: 4.64.8 mm, width: 1.2-1.4 mm.
Remark. The analyses of male genitaliae of black specimens with yellow legs from Italy and France shows that they belong to T.
gilvipes.
A rather special opinion was formulated by G.Sama (2002): "In conclusion, T.nigra seems to be a transitional form between T.praeustus and T.gilvipes".
Distribution. North Western Italy, South-East France and Switzerland.
Material. 5 male, Fontanigorda, chapelle 22.05.1988, M.Magistretti - GS; 2 female, Grondola, 22.05.1988, P. Berger - GS. 1 male, Piemonte-Susa, 17.04.1976, R.Hourulia - MD.
