Oberea atropunctata Pic, 1916: 17. Type locality: China, Yunnan.

Description.

Male terminalia: (Fig. 5) Tergite VIII broader than long, apex truncated and slightly emarginated, rounded at side, densely clothed with short setae (Fig. 5a); tegmen curved in profile, parameres stouter, mostly covered with long hairs; transverse and oblique ridge at basal lobe on ventral side with dense fine hairs (Fig. 5 b–e); penis 1.25 times as long as tegmen and curved in profile; the median struts 4/5 times as long as the whole median lobe in length; dorsal plate slightly longer than ventral plate; apex of ventral plate rounded; median foramen rounded (Fig. 5f); endophallus with two pairs of sclerites apically, the long pair very slender baculiform, the short pair fused at base forming a “Y” (Fig. 5g).

Diagnosis.

The following combination of characters separates it from Oberea flavescens : shape of rods in the endophallus; elytra nearly 4.2 times as long as humeral width, and 3.7 times as long as head and prothorax combined.
