Description
Anoplophora multimaculata (Xie & Wang, 2015)
(Figs. 8, 14)
Mimonemophas multimaculatus Xie & Wang in Xie et al., 2015: 599, figs. 5, 6, 10–14. Type locality: Hubei, China. Anoplophora multimaculata: Lin & Lingafelter, 2018: 372; Lin & Yang, 2019: 298.
Type material examined. Holotype. female, “ CHINA, Hubei, Yingshan, Wujiashan, 13 July, 2007, leg. Wenjuan Tao ” (YZU), examined through photographs in the original description.
Other material examined. 1 male, CHINA, Zhejiang, Xitianmushan, 1,500 m, 2016.VII.6, leg. Wen-Xuan Bi (CBWX); 1 male, ditto except 1,260 m, 2016.VII.26 (CBWX); 1 female, ditto except 410 m, 2016.VI.18 (CBWX); 1 female, ditto except 1,390 m, 2016.VII.5 (CBWX).
Complementary description. Male (Fig. 8). Body length 20.5–22.5 mm, humeral width 7.9–8.2 mm. General appearance similar to the female described by Xie & Wang (2015). Antenna about 1.7 times of body length. Legs relatively longer and thicker.
The male endophallus in everted condition (Fig. 14) is almost identical to that of Anoplophora wusheana or A. quadrifasciatus (Bi & N. Ohbayashi 2015, Fig. 9, 10).
Distribution. China: Hubei, Zhejiang (new Province record).
Remarks. This species was originally described under the genus Mimonemophas Breuning, 1961 based on a single female. Bi & N. Ohbayashi (2015) synonymized Mimonemophas with Anoplophora, and Lin & Lingafelter (2018) transferred this species also to Anoplophora. The endophallus of this species shows no significant difference from Anoplophora quadrifasciata or A. wusheana, and therefore the transference is confirmed. And the abovementioned three species together with A. cheni are thought to compose a species group by the similarities of both external and endophallic morphology.
The living individuals or fresh specimens from Zhejiang are observed with the elytral scale-like pubescence bright blue in coloration, which is gradually turning into bluish-grey when the specimens are dried, or becoming pale or yellowish upon excessive contact with liquids such as alcohol, ethyl acetate or water.
