Agrilus moerens Saunders View in CoL

= araxicola Abeille de Perrin, 1897 View in CoL syn. nov.

Agrilus moerens Saunders, 1873: 517 View in CoL . Lectotype designated by Jendek (1995).

Agrilus araxicola Abeille de Perrin, 1897: 3 View in CoL , 11–12. Lectotype by present designation, ♂, MNHN: “Araxe [h] \ araxicola Ab. View in CoL Type [h] \ MUSÉUM PARIS Coll. ABEILLE de PERRIN 1919 [p] \ vid Niehuis 1992 [p]”. The exact number of syntypes is unknown.

Remarks. Agrilus araxicola Abeille de Perrin was described from Armenia: “Caucase, vallée de l'Araxe”. Due to its conspecifity with A. moerens from East Asia, I consider this locality mistaken (incorrect statement of type locality).
