Abstract

New nomenclature and taxonomic changes are proposed for some taxa of the subgenus Callisthenes Fischer von Waldheim, 1820, genus Calosoma Weber, 1801. New synonymy is established: Calosoma panderi (Fischer von Waldheim, 1820) = C. karelini (Fischer von Waldheim, 1830), syn. n., = C. cyaneosterum Mandl, 1954, syn. n.; C. elegans rostislavi Semenov, 1906, stat. n. = C. elegans subtilestriatum Mandl, 1954, syn. n. The name C. breuningi Mandl, 1954 is proposed to replace the preoccupied name C. karelini (Fischer von Waldheim, 1846) (non Fischer von Waldheim, 1830). Calosoma elegans amethystinum (Obydov, 1997), stat. rest. is restored from a synonym of C. elegans semenovii (Motschulsky, 1860), the correct authorship and publishing date of this name are defined which had been initially proposed for infrasubspecific entity. Two new subspecies are described: C. breuningi iliense subsp. n. from the plains and piedmonts on the right bank of the Ili River (Southeastern Kazakhstan) and C. elegans kashense subsp. n. from the piedmonts on the left bank of the Kash River (Xinjiang-Uygur Autonomous Region of China).
