ABSTRACT.
A checklist of all known Chrysolina species is presented. Sixty five
valid subgenera, 447 valid species and 251 valid subspecies are recognized. The
following new synonymy is established: Chrysolina (Apterosoma MOTSCHULSKY)
(=Caudatochrysa BECHYNE), Ch. (Synerga WEISE) (=Chrysonotum J. SAHLBERG),
Ch. (Sulcicollis J. SAHLBERG) (=Minckia STRAND), Ch. (Bittotaenia MOTSCHULSKY)
(=Gemellata J. SAHLBERG, partim), Ch. (Hypericia BEDEL) (=Gemellata J. SAHLBERG,
partim), Ch. (Ovosoma MOTSCHULSKY) (=Gemellata J. SAHLBERG, partim,
=Byrrhiformis J. SAHLBERG, partim), Ch. (Colaphoptera MOTSCHULSKY)
(=Byrrhiformis J. SAHLBERG,
partim), Ch. aeruginosa poricollis MOTSCHULSKY (=lobicollis FAIRMAIRE), Ch. apsilaena
DACCORDI (=rosti kubanensis L.MEDVEDEV et OKHRIMENKO), Ch. fastuosa biroi CSIKI
(=fastuosa jodasi BECHYNE, 1954), Ch. differens FRANZ (=trapezicollis BECHYNE),
Ch. difficilis ussuriensis JACOBSON (=pubitarsis BECHYNE), Ch. difficilis yezoensis
MATSUMURA (=exgeminata BECHYNE, =nikinoja BECHYNE), Ch. marginata marginata
LINNAEUS (=finitima BROWN), Ch. pedestris GEBLER (=pterosticha FISCHER DE WALDHEIM),
Ch. reitteri saxonica DACCORDI (=diluta KRYNICKI). Ch. elbursica LOPATIN is treated as
a subspecies of Ch. tesari ROUBAL, Ch. unicolor alaiensis LOPATIN - as Ch. dieckmanni
alaiensis, and Ch. poretzkyi JACOBSON as a subspecies of Ch. subcostata GEBLER.
Ch. peninsularis BECHYNE is a distinct species, but a subspecies of Ch. aeruginosa,
Ch. brahma TAKIZAWA is a good species, not a synonym of Ch. lia JACOBSON (= freyi
BECHYNE), and Ch. dzhungarica JACOBSON is a good species, not a synonym of
Ch. alatavica JACOBSON. Subgenus Bittotaenia MOTSCHULSKY is transferred from Crosita
to Chrysolina. Ch. palmyrensis BECHYNE (with a subspecies assurensis BECHYNE) is
transferred to the subgenus Ch. (Paradiachalcoidea). Ch. auripennis SAY, Ch. basilaris
SAY, Ch. cyanea SCHAEFFER, Ch. cribraria ROGERS, and Ch. inornata ROGERS are
transferred to the subgenus Ch. (Allohypericia). Ch. cilissa JACOBSON, Ch. sellata
WEISE, Ch. lehri LOPATIN, Ch. unicolor GEBLER, and Ch. dieckmanni MOHR are transferred
to the subgenus Ch. (Chalcoidea). Ch. roddi JACOBSON is included in the subgenus
Ch. (Crositops), Ch. alaschanica JACOBSON and Ch. przewalskyi JACOBSON, 1898 - in
the subgenus Ch. (Chrysocrosita), and Ch. subcostata poretzkyi JACOBSON -in the
subgenus Ch. (Pleurosticha). The genus Cecchiniola JACOBSON is included in the
genus Chrysolina as a subgenus. Timarchomima (with a single species T. indica) is
regarded as a separate genus within the subtribe Chrysolinina, but not a subgenus of
Chrysolina. Therefore, Timarcholina is a valid subgeneric name for the other former
members of Timarchomima. Lectotypes of Taeniosticha poricollis MOTSCHULSKY,
Chrysomela pterosticha FISCHER DE WALDHEIM, Chrysolina nikinoja nikinoja BECHYNE,
Ch. nikinoja exgeminata BECHYNE, Crosita alaschanica JACOBSON, and C. przewalskyi
JACOBSON are designated. Ch. blanchei FAIRMAIRE is recorded from Turkey, Ch. aveyronensis BECHYNE - from Spain, Ch. numida REICHE and Ch. pardoi CODINA PADILLA н
from Tunisia, Ch. koenigi JACOBSON - from Kyrghyzstan, Ch. brunnicornis bermani
L.MEDVEDEV - from Chita reg., Ch. lopatini MOHR - from Altai, Ch. grata grata - from
Sinai, Ch. analis - from Algeria, Ch. marginata borealis - from Taimyr, and
Ch. eurina - from European Russia (Moscow reg.) for the first time.
