REMARKS. Linsenmaier (1997) described asianum as a subspecies of H.

integrum (Dahlbom, 1854) ; the latter has been synonymized by Paukkunen et al.

(2014) with H. ardens (Coquebert, 1801) . Linsenmaier (1959, 1997) confused H.

cupreum (Dahlbom) with H. integrum and described H. asianum as an oriental subspecies of the latter.

H. asianum is similar to H. cupreum (Dahlbom) , but can be easily recognized by denser punctuation on pronotum and mesoscutum ( Fig. 14J View Fig vs. Fig. 14I View Fig ); shorter body pubescence; contrasting color of metanotum; different shape of genitalia (Figs

14H vs. 14G). For these different morphological features we here upgrade H. asianum to species level.
