A new species of the subgenus Timarchoptera Motschulsky, 1860 of the genus Chrysolina Motschulsky, 1860 (Coleoptera, Chrysomelidae)
Abstract
A new species of the subgenus Timarchoptera of the genus Chrysolina is described from the Russian Far East (Khabarovsk Krai). The new species is found 1500 km east of the previously known eastern boundary of the range of the subgenus. The remaining species are distributed in the Altai, the Sayans, Transbaikalia, and N Mongolia. A key of all known species and subspecies of the subgenus Timarchoptera is compiled, and a distribution map is presented.
