Figs. 12 , 44

liscapia Jendek, 2003: 182 [replacement name for apicalis Bourgoin, 1923 not Waterhouse, 1889]. = apicalis Bourgoin, 1923: 261 [ Sambus ].

Descarpentries & Villiers, 1967: 1008 [ Therysambus ]. Jendek, 2000: 502–503. Jendek, 2003: 182 [synonym of liscapia ].

Diagnosis. This species, together with A. acastus , A. coraeboides , A. samboides , A. gunjii , A. hunanus and A. apicaureus , is distinctive by having the apical elytral pubescence more contrasting than on the remaining parts. It differs from A. apicaureus , by lacking humeral carinae, and from A. hunanus , by having the elytral apex more densely pubescent.

Sexual dimorphism. Male unknown.

Length. 5.0– 5.2 mm.

Type series. Sambus apicalis Bourgoin, 1923 . Lectotype, designated by Descarpentries & Villiers (1967): Ƥ, MNHN: “ Tonkin Pho-Vi 6–07 Cap, Fouquet [h] Type [p] [red label] \ Sambus apicalis Bourgoin Type [Bourgoin’s MS] \ Thérysambus apicalis n. gen. Bourgoin A. Descarpentries et [h] A. Villiers det. 19 [p] 66 [h]”. The exact number of syntypes was not specified. Type locality. Tonkin: Pho Vi.

Material examined. 1 Ƥ ( EJCB): “ China prov. Fujian centr., Yongan env. [117°21'E, 25°28'N] 21.6., Fujian Shilin, R. Červenka lgt. 1991”

Distribution. north Vietnam, China (Fujian).

Remarks. Agrilus apicalis was described in the genus Sambus . Descarpentries & Villiers (1967) proposed the new genus Therysambus . Jendek (2000) considered Therysambus to be congeneric with Agrilus and proposed ( Jendek 2003) the new replacement name liscapia for the name apicalis , preoccupied in Agrilus .
