Description

Cortodera alpina prosvirovi ssp. n. is described from north-west Abkhazia (Mt. Khvansha, 43º19'30"N, 40º38'40"E, 2200-2400 m). The new taxon is similar to C. a. rosti Pic, 1892, but differs by dense erect elytral pubescence. Mesosa (Aplocnemia) obscuricornis petrovi ssp. n. is described from south Dagestan (Samur Forest near Samur Delta). The species is indicated for the first time for Russia. The new subspecies differs from Azerbaijanian M. o. obscuricornis Pic, 1894 (also known from North Iran) by small elytral punctation without black spots around each puncture.
