Euseboides gorodinskii Holzschuh, 2006

( Figures 1–18 )

Euseboides gorodinskii Holzschuh, 2006: 487 (type locality: “Manali vill., Pirpandzhal range, W-Himalays, Himachal Pradesh, N-India”), pl. XI, fig. 6 (male); Löbl & Smetana 2010: 223 (catalogue).

Male terminalia. Tergite VIII ( Figs 6 & 7 ) sparsely covered with short and fine brown setae near apical 1/3, with several longer and thicker black setae apically; disc elongate, longer than broad, rounded apically. Sternite VIII ( Figs 6 & 7 ) sparsely covered with short brown setae, nearly as long as broad, expanded in middle, and truncated apically; spiculum relictum shorter than sternite VIII. Spiculum gastrale ( Figs 6 & 7 ) Y-shaped, slender, distinctly longer than sternite VIII.

Aedeagus. Tegmen ( Figs 8–10 ) curved, slightly shorter than penis; parameres sparsely covered with short and fine brown setae apically, with several longer and thicker brown setae apically; phallobase more than 4.0 times as long as parameres, abruptly expanded near middle and gradually constricted towards base; anterior tegminal struts separated. Penis ( Figs 11–13 ) curved and thick in profile, slightly constricted near apical 1/4, and gradually expanded near middle; dorsal struts short, nearly 1/3 as long as penis, weakly curved in profile; dorsal plate rounded apically; ventral plate distinctly longer than dorsal plate, bearing a small round projection.

Specimens examined. 1 male (SWUC-Co- 01-03-00 -00-00-588), China: Simianshan, Jiangjin, Chongqing, 5. VI. 2004, no collector record; 1 female (SWUC), China: Simianshan, Jiangjin, Chongqing, 21. IV. 2011, no collector record; 1 male (SWUC-Co- 01-03-00 -00-00-1355), China: Hechuan, Chongqing, 2–5. VII. 2012, Zong- Qing Wang leg.; 1 female (SWUC), China: Mt. Leigongshan, Guizhou, 28~ 29. VII. 2014, Bo-Yan Li leg.

Distribution. China (new country record): Chongqing (Hechuan, Jiangjin), Guizhou (Leishan); India: Himachal Pradesh.

Comments. Holzschuh (2006) gave the differences between E. gorodinskii and E. tonkinensis . However, the differences are vague and E. gorodinskii is not close to E. tonkinensis , rather, it distinctly differs from E. tonkinensis by the elytron covered with a triangular whitish brown spot behind middle, the hind legs distinctly extending beyond elytral apex. Holzschuh (2006) examined female and male specimens, but only gave a male photo in original description. There is a holotype photo of E. gorodinskii in the database “A Photographic Catalog of the Cerambycidae of the World” ( Bezark, 2013).
