ABSTRACT.
Ten species, Chrysolina aurichalcea with three subspecies,
Ch. eurina, Ch. schatzmayri, Ch. gensanensis, Ch. quadrangulata, Ch. lineigera,
Ch. lineella, Ch. relucens and two new species: Ch. neglecta (Khabarovsk Terr. and
Primorski Krai) and Ch. pala (Primorski Krai), are included in the subgenus Anopachys
herewith. Type specimens of eleven taxa belonging to Anopachys are examined.
Having examined the type of Chrysomorpha quadrangulata, which has been suppressed
as a synonym of Ch. aurichalcea, I have concluded that Ch. quadrangulata is a good
species. Intraspecific variation of Ch. aurichalcea is studied in detail on the basis of
material from the whole area. Some biological data are given. Twelve taxa are
excluded from the subgenus Anopachys.
Key words: Entomology, taxonomy, revision, new species, Coleoptera, Chrysomelidae,
