Abstract: Neoplagionotus bobelayei huseyini, new name is proposed for a subspecies of N. bobelayei, separated by Ozdikmen & Ali (2016) from South Russia, Transcaucasia, North Turkey and North Iran with unvalid name (junior homonym) "Plagionotus speciosus specious (Adams, 1817)". Xylotrechus ilamensis zuvandiense, ssp. n. is described from Talysh area of Azerbaijan and from Mazandaran (Iran). Phytoecia (Helladia) demeltiana, new name is proposed as a replacement name for a secondary junior homonym Phytoecia (Helladia) demelti (Sama, 2003). Stictoleptura (Pyrrholeptura subgen. nov.) is described for a single species Stictoleptura (Pyrrholeptura) pyrrha (Bates, 1884).
Four new transformations are proposed on Palaearctic Cerambycidae:
1. Neoplagionotus bobelayei (Brulle, 1832) was divided in three subspecies by Ozdikmen & Ali (2016), though authors used for the species junior primary homonym "Callidium speciosum Adams, 1817" - not Callidium speciosum D.H. Schneider, 1787 (now in Isotomus Mulsant, 1862). The replacement name was proposed by Sama (1991).
The invalid name was regarded by Ozdikmen & Ali (2016) as valid because now both names are used in different genera: "Thus Callidium speciosum Adams, 1817 is not a homonym name anymore and Plagionotus speciosus (Adams, 1817) should be accepted as a valid specific name".
According to ICZN (1999) Art. 57.2.:"Identical species-group names established for different nominal taxa when originally combined with the same generic name are primary homonyms and the junior name is permanently invalid".
So, the Caucasian subspecies named by Ozdikmen & Ali (2016) as Plagionotus speciosus speciosus (Adams, 1817) must receive a new name.
Neoplagionotus bobelayei huseyini, new name
Callidium speciosum Adams, 1817: 309 ("In hortis circa Tiflin frequens")
[junior primary homonym - invalid name, not Callidium speciosum
D.H. Schneider, 1787 (now in Isotomus Mulsant, 1862)]
The area of the subspecies is generally adequately described by Ozdikmen & Ali (2016): Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, NE Turkey and NW Iran, though it is also known from Kopet-Dag Ridge (Turkmenia). Turkmenian populations were wrongly attributed by Ozdikmen & Ali (2016) to the subspecies distributed from South Iran to Palestine - N. b. mouzafferi (Pic, 1905) (as "P. s. mouzafferi Pic, 1905").
The new name is dedicated to Dr. Huseyin Ozdikmen, who regularly published a lot of very interesting investigations on Turkey Cerambycidae.
2. Xylotrechus ilamensis campadellii Sama & Rapuzzi, 2003 was described on the base of series from Iran and Azerbaijan (Talysh Mts.) - type locality in "Azerbaygan-e Garbi: 40 km S Orumiye (Dizaj)". A paratype male (collection of M.Danilevsky) from Talysh definitely belong to another taxon.
Xylotrechus ilamensis zuvandiense, ssp. n.
Figs 1-2
Only one male and two females available; males of new subspecies and males of X. i. hadullai Danilevsky, 2010, strongly differs from males of X. i. campadellii Sama & Rapuzzi, 2003 by the absence of fine white pronotal and elytral pubescens; X. i. zuvandiense, ssp. n. differs from X. i. hadullai by less convex posterior pronotal areas, by less oblique humeral elytral spot and by more curved wide central elytral band, besides male pronotal granules are much more transverse, male legs and antennae reddish, male scutellum with glabrous central line; body length of male:
10 mm, width: 3.3 mm, body length of females: 9.5-11.5 mm, width: 3.0-4.0 mm.
Material. Holotype, male with 2 labels: 1) Azerbaijan, Talysh, Gasmalyan, 4.7.1979; 2) Paratype, Xylotrechus ilamensis campadellii n. ssp. G.Sama & P.Rapuzzi det., 2001 - collection of M.Danilevsky (Moscow). 2 Paratypes: 1 female, with a label: Iran, Mazandaran prov., Behshahr: Pasand vill., 27 m, 10.7.2007, H.Barimani leg. - collection of M.Danilevsky; 1 female, with a label: Iran, Mazandaran prov., btw. Lar & Lasam, Astragalus gossypinus & A.anacantus, 3.5.2011, H.Barimani leg. - collection of M.Danilevsky.
Etymology. The new name is derivated from the toponym of the geographical locality Zuvand depression.
3. Phytoecia (Coptosia) demelti (Breuning, 1973) was described as Conizonia Fairmaire, 1864, though now it is generally accepted as Phytoecia (Coptosia).
Phytoecia (Helladia) demelti Sama, 2003 was described as Helladia Fairmaire, 1864,. though now it is generally accepted as Phytoecia (Helladia), so Helladia demelti Sama, 2003 is junior secondary homonym and needs a new name.
Phytoecia (Helladia) demeltiana, new name
Helladia demelti Sama, 2003: 73 ("Asia Minor, Silifke") [junior secondary homonym - invalid name, not Phytoecia (Coptosia) demelti (Breuning, 1973)]
4. Leptura pyrrha Bates, 1884 known from Japan was placed by Miroshnikov (1998) in Paracorymbia (Batesiata Miroshnikov, 1998) together with P.(B.) tesserula (Charpentier, 1825), though West Palaearctic Stictoleptura tesserula has no natural connection with Japanese Stictoleptura pyrrha, that was mentioned by Danilevsky (2014: 276).
Stictoleptura pyrrha (Bates, 1884) has a very small emargination of the last abdominal male sternite, a peculair shape of parameres dilated apically and very dense punctation of red elytra. So, the species must be separated in a new subgenus.
Stictoleptura (Pyrrholeptura subgen. nov.)
Types species: Lepturapyrrha Bates, 1884
Last abdominal sternite in males with very small emargination, red elytra with very dense punctation, parameres dilated apically, aedeagus strongly sharpened apically. Only one species is known in the subgenus up to now.
Acknowledgement. I am very grateful to Mikhail Danilevsky for supplying me with specimens for study.
