Taxonomy structure of Agapanthia villosoviridescens (DeGeer, 1775) (Coleoptera, Cerambycidae)

Agapanthia (Epoptes) helianthi Plavilstshikovi, 1935, A. (E.) subnigra Pic, 1890, A. (E.) gazanchidisi Lazarev, 2021 and A. (E.) markusi Rapuzzi, Sama & Kotán, 2013 are downgraded to subspecies rank. A new synonym is proposed: A. subnigra Pic, 1890 = A. villosoviridescens var. subchalybaea Reitter, 1898, syn. n. Four new subspecies are described: A. (E.) v. murzini ssp. n. (northern Armenia), A.

A subspecies key is proposed.
