Description
Anoplophora flavomaculata (Gressitt, 1935)
(Figs. 9, 15)
Melanauster flavomaculatus Gressitt, 1935: 385. Type locality: Karapin, Formosa.
Anoplophora flavomaculata: Hua, 2002: 194; Lingafelter & Hoebeke, 2002: 105, pl. 26b, map 5; Löbl & Smetana, 2010: 277; Lin & Yang, 2019: 296.
Anoplophora (Anoplopho ra) flavomaculatus: Breuning, 1944: 288; Breuning, 1961: 338; Yu et al., 2002: 111, pl. 20, fig. 4.
Material examined. 1 male, Taiwan, Chiayi, Alishan, 2011.VIII.15, leg. Yi-Chia Chiu (CYCC).
Complementary description. Male (Fig. 9). Body length 29.5 mm, humeral width 10.3 mm. General appearance similar to the female described by Gressitt (1934). Antenna about 1.6 times of body length. Scutellum slightly longer than broad. Legs relatively longer and thicker.
Endophallus in everted condition (Fig. 15) moderately long, robust, about 3.0 times as long as median lobe; relative lengths of APH: MPH: BPH: PB: CT: MT = 1.0: 2.0: 0.3: 0.5: 0.6: 0.9.
MPH curved dorsally near apical third; subdivided into MT, CT and PB by constrictions; MT cylindrical, vaguely provided with an apical swelling; CT short, strongly swollen at basal half latero-ventrally with minute spicules; PB with anterior bulb strongly developed. APH with apical bulb (ab) ca. 0.7 times as long as apical bubble (bb); apical bulb moderately sclerotized, elongate and subcylindrical, surface with microspinules irregular, do not form transverse rows, which are getting denser apically; bb provided apically with a pair of rod-like sclerite which is subequal to the length of ab.
Distribution. China: Taiwan.
Remarks. According to the original description, the holotype of this species was kept in the collection of Masayo Kato, Tokyo. However, this collection had been dispersed and we could not locate the holotype despite our efforts. Another female specimen illustrated in the book of Yu et al. (2002) also cannot be located. Therefor this is probably the third known specimen and the first record of the male.
The endophallic structure of this species is characterized by MPH rather robust and short with relatively long CT+PB, CT+PB longer than MT and anterior bulb of PB strongly developed. It is superficially resembles Anoplophora wusheana and its relatives, but immediately distinguished from them by apical bulb (ab) of APH elongate and subcylindrical instead of shortened and barrel-shaped.
