Agrilus quadrisignatus Marseul

= mongoliae Obenberger, 1922

= lama Obenberger, 1935 syn. nov.

Agrilus quadrisignatus Marseul, 1866: 434 , 444–445. Lectotype designated ( Jendek 1998).

Agrilus mongoliae Obenberger, 1922: 26–27 . Lectotype by present designation, ♂, NMPC: “Kiachta [h] \ TYPUS [p] [red label] \ Agrilus Mongoliae m. Type [h] Det. Dr. Obenberger [p] \ Mus. Nat. Pragae Inv. [p] 26217 [h] [orange label]”. The exact number of syntypes is unknown.

Remarks. Agrilus mongoliae was considered conspecific with A. quadrisignatus by Obenberger (1934: 14). Reexamination of the lectotype confirms this opinion.

Agrilus quadrisignatus lama Obenberger, 1935a: 164 . Lectotype by present designation, ♂, NMPC: “ China bor. [h] \ TYPUS [p] [red label] \ A. quadrisignatus subsp. lama m. Type [h] Det.
