Agrilus ussuricola Obenberger

= lasiolus Obenberger, 1935 syn. nov.

Agrilus ussuricola Obenberger, 1924c: 46 . Lectotype by present designation, ♂, NMPC: “ Amur [h] [in Russian] \ TYPUS [p] [red label] \ Agrilus ussuricola m. Type [h] Det. Dr Obenberger [p] \ Mus. Nat. Pragae Inv. [p] 24261 [h] [orange label]” and two paralectotypes from “Vladivostok 19 Ussuri mer. Dr. Jure č ek” and “Nikolsk.Ussuri”. A single paralectotype from “Trockoje, Chanka, Primorje, 21.VI.09 [in Russian]” is deposited in NHMB. The exact number of syntypes is unknown.

Remarks. Described from “Ussuri (Vladivostok)”. The type locality becomes the place of origin of the lectotype (ICZN, Article 76.2.).

Agrilus ussuricola var. lasiolus Obenberger, 1935a: 170 . Lectotype by present designation, ♂, NMPC: “s. Troickoye, oz. Khanka, Primorsk. Cherskij [p] 16.vi. [h] 09 [p] [in Russian] \ TYPUS [p] [red label] \ Agrilus ussuricola var. lasiolus m. ♂ Type [h] Det. Dr. Obenberger [p] \ Mus. Nat. Pragae Inv. [p] 24287 [h] [orange label]” and three paralectotypes from the same locality, one paralectotype from “Vladivostok”, one paralectotype from “Birsherta, r. Zeya” and one paralectotype from “Kamen'­Rybolov oz. Khanka”. Ten paralectotypes are deposited in ZIN. The exact number of syntypes is unknown.

Type locality. “ Troickoye, oz. Khanka, Primorsk” RussiA. Type locality determined by the lectotype ( ICZN, Article 76.2.).

Remarks. Originally described from “Ussuri, Primorje”. The type locality becomes the place of origin of the lectotype.

The name lasiolus was proposed by Obenberger (1935a) for a variety of Agrilus ussuricola . Kurosawa (1963, 1974) and Akiyama & Ohmomo (1997) considered A. lasiolus to be a distinct species. Examination of the lectotypes of A. ussuricola and A. ussuricola var. lasiolus revealed their conspecifity.

Distribution. China (Shaanxi province), Japan (Tsushima island), North Korea, Russia (Amursk, Primorsk, Khabarovsk regions). Hou Taoqian (1981, 1987) and Hua Li Zhong (2002) reported this species from Xizang, Yunnan and Heilongjiang in China. These records need confirmation due to possible confusion with other Chinese species with an asymmetric aedeagus.
