ABSTRACT.
The Chrysolina lineella species-group of the subgenus Anopachys Motschulsky,
1860 is revised. Chrysolina
watanabei Takizawa, 1970 is revalidated from the synonymy with
Ch. lineigera (Jacobson, 1901). Ch. sundukovi
Mikhailov, 2006 is a new junior synonym of Ch. watanabei.
Special attention is paid to the infraspecific
variability of the male and female genitalia.
The structure of the aedeagal flagellum and the spermatheca are used
as diagnostic characters. A key to species is included.
Ch. watanabei is for the first time recorded from the Asian
continent (Primorskii Territory of Russia and Northeastern China).
Key words: Entomology, taxonomy, revision, new species, Coleoptera, Chrysomelidae,
Chrysolina, Anopachys.
