A STUDY ON THE GENUS CHRYSOLINA<br />
131<br />
Ch. dzhungarica was a separate species. The most distinct difference between <strong>the</strong><br />
menti<strong>on</strong>ed taxa is <strong>the</strong> shape of <strong>the</strong> pr<strong>on</strong>otal lateral calli which are narrower in<br />
Ch. dzhungarica than in Ch. alatavica. Besides that, 5th-6th and 7th-8th puncture<br />
rows of elytr<strong>on</strong> are slightly paired in Ch. dzhungarica, all puncture rows are<br />
placed at equal distances from each o<strong>the</strong>r in Ch. alatavica. The intervals between<br />
elytral puncture rows are weakly c<strong>on</strong>vex in Ch. dzhungarica (as in Ch. tianshanica)<br />
and ra<strong>the</strong>r c<strong>on</strong>vex in Ch. alatavica. Ch. dzhungarica differs from Ch. tianshanica<br />
(lectotype is designated below) in <strong>the</strong> shape of pr<strong>on</strong>otal lateral impressi<strong>on</strong>s which<br />
are deeply incised in basal half, moderately deep anteriorly, covered <strong>with</strong> numerous<br />
large punctures (partly coalescent near base) in Ch. dzhungarica, and deeply<br />
incised basally as well as apically, but very shallow, covered <strong>with</strong> sparse, coalescent,<br />
hardly visible punctures at middle in Ch. tianshanica.<br />

59. Ch. imperfecta was first recorded from <strong>the</strong> Caucasus (“Transcaucasia”)<br />
by OKHRIMENKO (1990). I have at my disposal material from <strong>the</strong> various localities<br />
in <strong>the</strong> Caucasus (Fig. 24).<br />
