Abstract: This paper deals with some taxa related to Qinling fauna. Oberea (Amaurostoma) ressli Demelt, 1963 (compared with O. (A.) donceeli Pic, 1907, whose lectotype and paralectotype are designated) is newly recorded from China; Oberea nigriceps n. obscuripennis Breuning, 1967 is treated as a new synonym of O. (O.) angustata Pic, 1923; O. (O.) rubroantennalis sp. nov. (compared with O. (O.) bicoloricornis Pic, 1915) is described from Shaanxi and Sichuan; O. (O.) pupillatoides Breuning, 1947 is reinstated; Saperda nigra Gressitt, 1951 and Stenostola lineata Gressitt, 1951 are transferred to the genus Niponstenostola and the former is newly named as Niponstenostola gressitti nom. nov.; Glenea fortunei var. soluta Ganglbauer, 1887 is upgraded to a species and Paraglenea cinereonigra Pesarini et Sabbadini, 1997 is considered as a new synonym of Paraglenea soluta (Ganglbauer, 1887).
Introduction
The authors found some taxonomic problems during the research of the fauna of Qinling. To clarify the Qinling fauna, some similar species are compared carefully to figure out the correct name, especially some taxa from the genus Oberea. These results are presented below.
Materials and methods
Specimens studied are deposited in the following institutions, museums or private collections: CCCC: Collection of Chang-Chin Chen, Tianjin, China HBU: Hebei University, Baoding, Hebei, China IZAS: Institute of Zoology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing, China

Taxonomy
Oberea (Amaurostoma) donceeli Pic, 1907 Figs. 1-2
Oberea donceeli Pic, 1907: 23. TL: China, Tianjin. TD: MNHN. Oberea donceeli; Gressitt, 1942: 40; Gressitt, 1951: 592; Breuning, 1962: 186.
Remarks. We chose the female in Fig. 2 as lectotype, though the right antennae is lost, because it beared the locality label. The female in Fig. 1 is in better condition, however, the type locality was not clearly labeled. It still can be a good paralectotype because it bears Pic's handwritten name label and was from M. Pic's collection.
Oberea Donceeli m. atrosignata Breuning, 1947, Oberea donceeli atrosignata; Breuning, 1960 and Oberea donceeli v. atrosignata; Breuning, 1962 are all unavailable infrasubspecific names (Li et al., 2015). The descriptions were based on a male specimen from Tianjin with the prothorax having black lateral markings while part of elytra are black (Breuning, 1947; Breuning, 1962). However, it might be another species. We tried to find the "type specimen" from MHNG but failed (Morati, 2003; personal searching by Meiying Lin, Zhu Li and Giulio Cuccodoro from 2008 to 2017). It is not in MNHN either (Meiying Lin's research).
Records from Shaanxi, Shanxi, Hebei, Gansu, Ningxia, Inner Mongolia, Mongolia and Russia should be based on specimens of O. ressli Demelt, 1963.
Type specimens examined. Lectotype (Fig. 2, designated herein),
female, China, Tien-Tsen (MNHN); paralectotype (Fig. 1, designated herein), 1 female, China, (MNHN, ex Coll. M. Pic). Other specimens examined. Beijing: 1 male, Beijing, 1952.VII.7 (IZAS). Tianjin: 4 males, Tientsin, 1932.VII.9 (MNHN, ex. Coll. E. Licent); 1 male, Tientsen (MNHN). Distribution. China: Beijing (new record), Tianjin.
Oberea (Amaurostoma) ressli Demelt, 1963
Figs. 3-7
Oberea (Amaurostoma) ressli Demelt, 1963: 150, figs 5a-b. TL: Turkey,
Kizilcahammam. TD: SMNS. Oberea donceeli v. obscuripennis Pic, 1939: 3. TL: China, Shanxi. TD: MNHN. [infrasubspecific name, according to Li et al., 2015: 579]
Oberea donceeli v. obscuripennis; Breuning, 1962: 187.
Diagnosis. This species differs from O. donceeli by antennae and elytra being black, and the prothorax with a black longitudinal stripe laterally on each side.
Remarks. Oberea donceeli v. obscuripennis Pic, 1939 is an unavailable infrasubspecific name (Li et al., 2015). There are two "type" specimens of Oberea donceeli v. obscuripennis Pic, 1939 deposited in MNHN, both having Pic's handwritten label and "Type" red label. Based on Etapes des Voyages du P. Licent S.J. dans la Chine 1914-1937, Ling T'eou is located in Shanxi Province, South of Zuoquan County and North of Changzhi County, while TSI LI YU is located in Shanxi Province, Huozhou City, Linfen, Qiliyu (Miroshnikov & Lin, 2015). We followed Li (2014) to treated it as Oberea (Amaurostoma) ressli Demelt, 1963.
Oberea nigriceps n. obscuripennis Breuning, 1967 is deemed subspecific and available (Lingafelter & Nearns, 2013) and is not preoccupied by Oberea donceeli v. obscuripennis Pic, 1939. It will be treated in the next taxon.

Therefore, this species distributes in both Mongolia and Russia.
Oberea (Oberea) angustata Pic, 1923 Figs. 8-9
Oberea angustata Pic, 1923: 11. TL: Vietnam, Tonkin. TD: MNHN. Oberea nigriceps n. obscuripennis Breuning, 1967b: 40. TL: Vietnam,
Tonkin. TD: MHNG. syn. nov. Oberea angustata; Breuning, 1962: 183.
Remarks. Oberea nigriceps n. obscuripennis Breuning, 1967 is deemed subspecific and available (Lingafelter & Nearns, 2013). It "comme m. thibetana Pic, mais avec les elytres de la coloration de
la m. changi Gress." (Breuning, 1967b). Kurihara (2009) synonymized thibetana Pic and changi Gressitt with O. distinctipennis Pic, 1902 and O. walkeri Gahan, 1894 respectively. However, obscuripennis Breuning, 1967 was not mentioned in his review of the Nigriceps Species-group (Kurihara, 2009). According to the first author's comparison of the type specimens, Oberea nigriceps n. obscuripennis Breuning, 1967 is considered as a new snonym of Oberea angustata Pic, 1923. These two holotypes not only having all characters including coloration matching with each other, but also having exactly the same locality labels, indicating they were collected in the same place and same time. The report from Fujian province can not be confirmed at this time. Type specimens examined. Holotype of Oberea angustata Pic, 1923 (Fig. 8), male, Vietnam, Tonkin, Montes Mauson, 2000-3000 feet, April-May leg. H. Fruhstorfer (MNHN). Holotype of Oberea nigriceps n. obscuripennis Breuning, 1967 (Fig. 9), male, Vietnam, Tonkin, Montes Mauson, 2000-3000 feet, April-May leg. H. Fruhstorfer (MHNG). Distribution. Vietnam.
Oberea (Oberea) rubroantennalis sp. nov. Figs. 10-12
Oberea bicoloricornis v. rubroantennalis Breuning, 1960: 38; 1962: 186. TL: China, Sichuan. TD: MHNG. [unavailable name, according to Li et al., 2015: 579]
Oberea bicoloricornis m. rubroantennalis; Breuning, 1967a: 821.
Description (female). Body slender, length ca. 14.5 mm, width ca. 2.5 mm. Head black, antennae with first two segments black brown, with a wide dark stripe dorsolaterally, remaining segments brown. Prothorax and scutellum brown. Elytra black brown, with margins darker than discal region, punctures black. Mostly brown colored in ventral view, except the metasternite, second and third ventrites with some black maculae, and the fifth ventrite black (except the basal part). Last visible tergite black (Fig. 10a). Legs mostly brown, except the oblique groove of mid-tibiae, apical half of hind tibiae and first segment of hind tarsi black brown.
Head slightly wider than prothorax. Antennae longer than
body, with 2 segments extending beyond elytral apex. The third segment much longer than scape, third to last almost subequal in length. Pronotum slightly broader than long, with a small callus centrally near base. Scutellum broad, apex with a median notch. Elytra slender, subparallel, without lateral carinae; apices emarginate with short teeth at outer angle; punctures arranged in rows, each elytron with distinct 5 rows in most parts, with 6 to 7 lines on basal part becoming obscure apically. Legs short, hind femora only reach basal third of second ventrite; hind tibiae subequal to hind femora in length, first tarsomere of hind tarsi longer than second tarsomere but shorter than second and third combined.
Diagnosis. This species is very similar to O. bicoloricornis Pic, 1915, but can be easily distinguished by the last visible sternite being black. It is also similar to O. angustata Pic, 1923, but differs by antennae mostly reddish-brown (except first two antennomeres) and elytral apex transversly truncate (oblique in O. angustata) . Remarks. The name rubroantennalis was used by Breuning (1960, 1962 and 1967) but in all three instances, the infrasubspecies name is unavailable. We use it for the new species, which means most part of antennae are reddish-brown.
Type specimens examined. Holotype, female (Fig. 10), Shaanxi, Foping County, Changjiaobaxiang, Shangshawocun, 33.5971°N, 108.0136°E, 1215m, 2007.V.29, leg. Mei-Ying Lin (IZAS, I0Z(E) 2002915). Paratypes: 1 female, Shaanxi, Taibaishan, Haopingsi, 1200 m, 1982.VII.18, leg. Miao-Ru Chen (NWAFU, C0027609); 1 female (holotype of Oberea bicoloricornis v. rubroantennalis Breuning, 1960), Szetschuan, Tatsienlu (MHNG). Distribution. China: Shaanxi, Sichuan.
Oberea (Oberea) bicoloricornis Pic, 1915 Figs. 13-14
Oberea bicoloricornis Pic, 1915: 13. TL: China, Tibet. TD: MNHN. Oberea bicoloricornis; Gressitt, 1942: 38; Gressitt, 1951: 588; Breuning, 1962: 186.
Remarks. It is only known from Xizang. The other reports (Shaanxi, Fujian, Sichuan) were based on misidentifications.
Type specimen examined. Holotype (Fig. 13), female, Chine, Thibet (MNHN, ex Coll. M. Pic).
Other specimen examined. China, Xizang: 1 female (Fig. 14), Chayu (Zayu), Jigong, alt. 2300m, 1973.VII.7, leg. Fu-Sheng Huang (IZAS).
Distribution. China: Xizang.
Oberea (Oberea) pupillatoides Breuning, 1947) stat. reinstated
Figs. 15-16
Oberea pupillatoides Breuning, 1947b: 145. TL: China, Shaanxi. TD: MHNG.
Oberea depressa v. pupillatoides; Breuning, 1960: 32; 1962: 214.
Remarks. This species was treated as a variety of Oberea (Oberea) depressa (Gebler, 1825) by Breuning (1960, 1962). However, it differs from O. depressa by metathorax being yellowish- brown and the apical half of last visible sternite black. This species is very similar to O. pupillata (Gyllenhal, 1817) from Europe and O. heyrovskyi Pic, 1927 from Russia and South Korea. Their relationships need further study.
It is not clear if the type locality is Shaanxi or Shanxi. Normally Chansi is for Shanxi while Chensi and Shensi are for Shaanxi, but they can be easily misused. We followed Tavakilian & Chevillotte (2017) to treat it as Shaanxi.
Type specimen examined. Holotype (Fig. 15), female, Chine, province du Chansi, 1926.VI.16 (MHNG).
Other specimens examined. China, Shaanxi: 1 male (Fig. 16), Zhouzhi County, Louguantai Senlingongyuan (Forest garden), alt. 564m, 33.0600°N, 108.3209°E, 2007.V.24, leg. Mei-Ying Lin (IZAS); 1 male, Taibai, 1990.VII (NWAFU, C0027611). Distribution. China: Shaanxi.
Niponstenostola gressitti nom. & comb. nov.
Fig. 17
Saperda nigra Gressitt, 1951: 552, pl. 21, fig. 1. TL: China, Shaanxi. TD:
NCHU. [HN] Saperda (Saperda) nigra: Breuning, 1966b: 669. Saperda (Compsidia) nigra: Danilevsky, 2010b: 235. Remarks. The name Saperda nigra was preoccupied by Saperda
nigra Say, 1827, which currently belongs to the genus Dorcaschema. The new name "gressitti" is given to Saperda nigra Gressitt, 1951 for Gressitt's contribution to this taxon. Without careful examination of the type specimen, the combination of this taxon is mysterious, though definitely not Saperda by the body shape. We temporarily combine it in the genus Niponstenostola based on its similarity with one pair of specimens examined (Fig. 18).
Type specimen examined. Holotype (Fig. 17), male (might be female), S. Shensi Prov., Pao-chi Distr., 34°20' N, 107° E, Tsing-sui-ho, 1946.V.30, S.T. Chang (Chang Shu-tsen) (NCHU, through pictures taken by Yu-Long Lin).
Other specimens examined. Niponstenostola sp.cf. gressitti, Shaanxi: 1 male, Ningshan County, Huoditang, Pingheliang, alt. 2016-2448 m, 33.4716-33.4814 N, 108.4961-108.4911 E, 2007.VI.1, leg. Mei-Ying Lin (I0Z(E)1904899); 1 female, Zhouzhi County, Houzhenzi, 2008, leg. Xiao-Dong Yang (CCCC, B08Y0013). Distribution. China: Shaanxi.
Niponstenostola lineata (Gressitt, 1951) comb. nov.
Figs. 19-20
Stenostola lineata Gressitt, 1951: 609, pl. 21, fig. 8. TL: China, Shaanxi. TD: NCHU.
Eumecocera lineata: Hayashi, 1963: 135.
Remarks. This species is newly combined in the genus based on the simple female claws. The male is unknown to us but should have appendiculate claws. The female claws are bifid in the genus Stenostola while appendiculate in the genus Eumecocera. Since misidentifications are common in this group, the reports from Hubei, Taiwan and Sichuan are doubtful and need further study. Type specimen examined. Holotype (Fig. 19), female, S. Shenxi Province, Pao-Chi District, Tsing-sui-ho, 1947.VI.18, leg. Chang Shu-tsen (NCHU, through pictures taken by Yu-Long Lin). Other specimens examined. China, Shaanxi: 3 females, Zhouzhi County, Houzhenzi, Qinlingliang, 2021m, 2007.V.27, leg. Mei-Ying Lin, Jun-Zhi Cui, Li-Jie Zhang. Distribution. China: Shaanxi.
Paraglenea soluta (Ganglbauer, 1887) stat. nov.
Figs. 21-23
Glenea Fortunei var. soluta Ganglbauer, 1887: 22. TL: China, Beijing. TD: NMW.
Paraglenea cinereonigra Pesarini et Sabbadini, 1997: 126, pl. IV, fig. 5. TL: China, Shaanxi. TD: CPS. syn. nov.
Remarks. This species was considered as a variety of Paraglenea fortunei (Saunders, 1853) for a long time. However, it can be distinguished from Paraglenea fortunei (Fig. 24) by the black maculae on the pronotum being more elongated, never rounded or missing, and the black markings on elytra more separated and consistent. It also similar to Paraglenea swinhoei Bates, 1866 but without black spots on the lateral sides of the prothorax.
Glenea fortunei var. soluta Ganglbauer, 1887 is herein upgraded to species and Paraglenea cinereonigra Pesarini et Sabbadini, 1997 is considered as a new synonym of Paraglenea soluta (Ganglbauer, 1887).
Type specimen examined. Holotype of Paraglenea cinereonigra Pesarini et Sabbadini, male (Fig. 22), Shaanxi, Huashan, 1991.VI.17-21, Dunda (CPS); paratype of Paraglenea cinereonigra Pesarini et Sabbadini, 1 female (Fig. 23), Henan, Dengfeng, 1992.VI, Richter (CPS).
Other specimens examined. China, Shaanxi: 1 male, Taibaishan, Haopingsi, 1200 m, 1982.VII.15 (NWAFU); 1 female, Fengxian, 1981.VI (NWAFU, C0028443); 1 male, Ningshan, Huoditang, 1580m, 1998.VIII.14, leg.
