The Northwestern Yunnan Province (China) as an “Eldorado” for studies on the genus Chrysolina (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae): A review of the Chrysolina fauna of Mount Diancang Shan, with descriptions of six new species
Abstract Chrysolina (subgenus incertae sedis) gemma sp. nov., Ch. (subgenus incertae sedis) moseykoi sp. nov., Ch. (subgenus incertae sedis) veronicae sp. nov., Ch. (subgenus incertae sedis) yurii sp. nov., Ch . ( Timarchomela ) cathedralis sp. nov., and Ch . ( Timarchomela ) jubilaea sp. nov. are described from NW Yunnan (Mount Diancang Shan and environs). A key for identification of all Chrysolina species, found in that territory, is compiled. Areas of the subgenera Chrysolina ( Latipoda Bieńkowski, 2024), Ch . ( Timarchomela Achard, 1922), and Ch . ( Volosatik Bieńkowski, 2022) are discussed. Photographs of habitus and male aedeagus are presented for all species.
