28. Elampus albipennis ( Mocsary, 1889) Plate 3

Ellampus (Notozus) albipennis Mocsáry, 1889: 80 [nec Elampus]. Lectotype ♂ design. by Móczár (1964b: 447), Russia: Sarepta (depository: HNHM)*.

Notozus violascens ( Mocsáry, 1889): du Buysson 1911: 218 (China: "Nan Chan, versant Nord; route de Cha Tchéou à Kan Tchéou; Linchouei, par 1, 500 mètres d’altitude, 25 juin 1908. Nan Chan: route de Kan Tchéou à Lan Tchéou par Si Ning; col de King Yang Ling, par 3,800 mètres d’altitude”, tax.) [misid.].

Notozus albipennis : Tsuneki 1953a: 54 (Manchuria: Kaiyüan, Kupeikau, tax.).

Omalus (Notozus) albipennis : Linsenmaier 1959: 16 (key), 24 (tax., cat., distr.).

Elampus albipennis : Kimsey and Bohart 1991: 166 (cat.).

Distribution.

China (Liaoning, Beijing). Widely distributed in the Palaearctic Region ( Tsuneki 1953a; Linsenmaier 1959). The Chinese specimen is not listed in the distribution by Kimsey and Bohart (1991).

Remarks.

The record of Notozus violascens Mocsáry by du Buysson (1911) is a misidentification: the reduced dimension and the green colour reported by the author match other species: Elampus albipennis Mocsáry, Elampus mocsaryi (Radoszkowski) and Elampus turcmenicus (Linsenmaier). Without examining the specimens it is not possible to correctly identify them.

Linsenmaier (1959) placed Elampus tournieri Dalla Torre, 1892 (repl. name for Elampus viridis Tournier, 1890) as synonym of Elampus albipennis ( Mocsáry).
