Elytra moderately obliquely truncate with a fine lateral tooth at apex. Three feebly raised, sometimes partly indistinct longitudial veins in suturai portion of each elytron. Colour pattern similat to that of Chlorophorus varius (Müll.), each elytron in basal portion with a C-shaped spot, behind it with several irregular transverse bands never reaching suture. Antennae in males slender, usually reaching mid-length of elytra, in females shorter reaching about one-third the length of elytra. Proportions of corresponding segment as in Chlorophorus varius (Müll.). Legs with femora moderately thickened. Segment 3 of all tarsi deeply bilobed with slender lobes, segment 4 markedly prolonged, generally more so in females (Figs 11, 12). Aedeagus broad and flat, broadly rounded at apex, with a small, more or less distinct terminal protuberance (Fig. 5). Parameres narrow, gently curved, almost regularly narrowly rounded at apex (Fig. 8). Differential diagnosis. Similar to the Palearctic Chlorophorus varius (Müll.), from which it differs by the following characters. Lobes of tarsal segment 3 more slender and segment 4 - especially in females - distinctly longer in Chlorophorus hrabovskyi sp. n. than in Chlorophorus varius (Müll.) (Figs 11, 12). Apex of aedeagus is broadly rounded with a more or less distinct terminal small protuberance in Chlorophorus hrabovskyi sp. n., whilst rather acutely pointed in Chlorophorus varius (Müll.), resembling rather that of Chlorophorus herbsti (Brahm.) (Figs 5, 6, 7). Parameres rather obliquely truncate at the apex in Chlorophorus varius (Müll.), whilst rather regularly narrowly rounded in Chlorophorus hrabovskyi sp. n. (Figs. 8, 9, 10). Apex of elytra in Chlorophorus hrabovskyi sp. n. less obliquely truncate and elytra in females less narrowed posteriorly in their apical half than in Chlorophorus varius (Müll.). Light spots on elytra are generally more subtle and not reaching suture in Chlorophorus hrabovskyi sp. n. Colour of elytra and abdomen in Chlorophorus hrabovskyi sp. n. is generally even paler than in the pale specimens of Chlorophorus varius (Müll.) f, "

damascenus Chevr." Bionomy. All available specimens of Chlorophorus hrabovskyi sp. n. were reared from pupae collected from the dried-out thicker branches, near the surface of the soil, of the desert shrub Aellenia subaphylla (Chenopodiaceae)

. Weevils, Baris kryzhanovskyi (Zasl.), were reared from thin branches of the same shrub. Beetles of both species emerged in May 1981 from pupae collected on 23rd April, 1981. I believe that the specimens of Chlorophorus varius (Müll.), reported from Soviet Middle Asia as developing in roots of Aellenia subaphylla (Krivosheina 1975) and being accompanied on their host-plant by Baris kryzhanovskyi (Zasl.) (KRIVOSHEINA at al. 1975), were Chlorophorus hrabovskyi sp. n. This is also suggested by the position of the type-locality of Chlorophorus hrabovskyi sp. n. in the territory studied by these authors. Agapanthia alaiensis sp. n. (Figs 13-18) Agapanthia alaiensis sp. n, is compared with the most related species Agapanthia müllneri (Reitt.). Type locality: USSR, Kirghizia, Kadamzhai, Fergana env. Type material: Holotype, cf, labelled: "SSSR, Kirgizie, Kadamdzaj, 6.5.1977, Igt. Brodsky". Paratypes, 2 6*, 4 o. , the same collecting data. Holotype deposited in the collection of the author, paratypes deposited in the collections of the author and O. BRODSKY (Prague). Name derivation: named after Alai Mts., where the material was collected. Description. Length 10-15 mm. Entire body black except of bicolorous antennae (red and black); pubescence of ventral side yellowish, dense; elytral pubescence irregular, dark yellow, recumbent. Basal two-thirds of elytra with isolate, long and dark hairs, posterior elytral third with shorter and dark recumbent pubescence, Epipleura with dense, yellowish pubescence. Frons with dense and recumbent yellowish pubescence; this pubescence is condensed on vertex into a medial strip. Anterior part of head with rigid and dense black hairs. Pronotal pubescence condensed into three longitudial and yellowish stripes with isolated long and dark hairs. Scutellum with dense and recumbent yellowish pubescence. legs with two types of pubescence: yellowish, recumbent pubescence, and dark, rigid and somewhat irregular pubescence. First antenna! segment with dark and rather long rigid pubescence and with isolated very long black hairs; pubescence is denser on the ventral side of segment. Sometimes first antennái segment also with very slight yellowish pubescence at the base of dorsal side. The following antenna! segments with sparse and fine white pubescence in basal half, with very indistinct basal ring; distal
