Oberea atropunctata Pic, 1916 This species was described from South China (Yunnan). Then O. simplex GRESSITT, 1942 described from East China (Shanghai) was considered by BREUNING (1960-1962) as a colour variation (with red legs) of O. atropunctata. Later, this form was reported from Korea under the name O. atropuctata var. coreensis BREUNING, 1947. Now it is recorded from the USSR. Material investigated - 1 male, labelled as follows: USSR, Primorie, Ussuriisk, Buianki, 27-29.VI.1989, UNO ROOSILEHT leg. (SI); female, Buianki, 30.VI.1989, M. KRUUS leg. (Museum of Nature of Estonia, Tallinn). Remarks - This species could be easily distinguished from all Oberea MULSANT from Korea and Soviet Far East by combination of two features: entirely red head as in O. nigriventris Bates, 1973 and O. fuscipennis (CHEVROLAT, 1852) and red abdomen with black markings on 2nd and 3rd (or 2nd to 5th) sterna. In O. fuscipennis (CHEVROLAT) only the last sternite (5th) may be darkened posteriorly and in O. nigriventris BATES the abdomen is black. * * * Acknowledgements - I wish to express my cordial thanks to Dr. M. KRUUS (Tallinn), Dr. O. MERKL (Budapest) and Dr. L. ZERCHE (Eberswalde) for their generosity to let me freely study their interesting material, to Mr. UNO ROOSILEHT (Tallinn) and Dr. S. MURZIN (Moscow) for lending specimens. References BATES. H. W. (1884): Longicorn Beetles of Japan.
