Іs clytini monophyletic? The evidence from five-gene phylogenetic … 201
Perderomaculatus, gen. stat. nov. The third clade of Chlorophorus diadema is sister to
Demonax transilis. I consider it as the separate genus Sparganophorus gen. nov. The fourth
clade is the most diverse both in number of species and in morphology. I consider this clade
in the rank of an independent genus Humeromaculatus, gen. stat. nov. with two subgenera:
1) Humeromaculatus s.str. and 2) Viridiphorus, subgen. nov. for Chlorophorus herbstii.
It should be noted that the phylogeny of Chlorophorus s.l. remains far from its final
solution. In particular, the taxonomic position of two subgenera Immaculatus and
Crassofasciatus proposed by Özdikmen [53] remains completely unknown in the light of the
molecular phylogenetics. More sequences of species should be included in future studies to
definitively elucidate the phylogeny of the Chlorophorus s.l.
Taxonomical summary and new nomenclature acts
In this section the taxa are presented in phylogenetic order, due to phylogenetic tree
(fig. 2).
Supertribe Chlorophoritae, supetrib. nov.
Type genus: Chlorophorus Chevrolat, 1863: 290 [10]
Description: Body more or less elongated, narrow, subcylindrical. Clypeus shortened.
Forehead shortened, almost steep, often with longitudinal keels or grooves. Antennae
typically short, reaching the first third of the wings. Pronotum subspherical (transverse or
oblong). Body covered with hair, typically with a contrasting pattern of hair bands. Legs
typically elongated, often with thickened femora. Behavior and color of beetles usually
mimic wasps and other Aculeata (Insecta: Hymenoptera).
Diagnosis: Pronotum subspherical; body elongated, subcylindrical, with a contrasting
hair pattern.
Definition: Monophyletic clade based on 12S RNA + 16S rRNA + COI + 18S rRNA
+ 28S rRNA genes phylogeny. The least inclusive clade containing Chlorophorus annularis
(Fabricius, 1787), Clytus arietis (Linnaeus, 1758), Anaglyptus mysticus (Linnaeus, 1758), but
not including Cerambyx cerdo Linnaeus, 1758, Compsocerus barbicornis Audinet-Serville,
1834, Callidium violaceum (Linnaeus, 1758).

Anaglyptides Lacordaire, 1868: 404 [34]
Anaglypti LeConte, 1873: 319 [34]
Type genus: Anaglyptus Mulsant, 1839: 91 [46]
Definition: Monophyletic clade based on 12S RNA + 16S rRNA + COI + 18S rRNA
+ 28S rRNA genes phylogeny. The least inclusive clade containing Anaglyptus mysticus
(Linnaeus, 1758), but not including Clytus arietis (Linnaeus, 1758), Chlorophorus annularis
(Fabricius, 1787).
Subordinated taxa:
1. Genus Teratoclytus Zajciw [not Zaitzev], 1937: 213 [75] (type species Teratoclytus
plavilstshikovi Zajciw [not Zaitzev], 1937: 213 [75])
– Teratoclytus plavilstshikovi Zajciw [not Zaitzev], 1937
Coments: The genus Teratoclytus and the species Teratoclytus plavilstshikovi were
described by Dmytro Zajciw [75], a Ukrainian (and later Brazilian) entomologist who was
associate professor at Kharkiv University. However, the description is attributed to the
