03F1346813607C572D9DD099FD91A49F.taxon	materials_examined	Type deposition: HOLOTYPE (♂) — National Museum of Natural History, Paris. Scientific synonym: Cereopsius cabigasi Vives 2005 Note. Vives (2005) described Cereopsius cabigasi indicating a relation with C. luctor due to the elytral pattern. In reality, this taxon can show four to six elytral spots (six in C. luctor), a scape apically enlarged (conical in C. luctor), a more or less yellowish pubescence (pure white in C. luctor) and a variable pronotal band of pubescence. The examination of genitalia revealed that C. mimospilotus is actually very closely related to C. quaestor, from which it differs in the reddish unicolor antennae (black and with antennomere 5 ringed of white pubescence in C. quastor). Nonetheless, some male specimens with bicolour antennae and females with indistinct white antennomeres call into question the validity of this taxon.	en	Medina, Milton Norman, Mantilla, Leslae Kay, Cabras, Analyn, Vitali, Francesco (2021): Catalogue of the genus Cereopsius Pascoe 1857 (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae Lamiinae) in the Philippines with description of a new species from Mindanao.

Note: “ Monochamus elpenor Newman ” was a nomen nudum of the collection of the British Museum, which Pascoe (1862) cited for the first time. Thomson (1864) mentioned it as type-species of Cereopsiu s and Aurivillius (1922) considered it as an aberration of C. praetoriu s; nonetheless, nobody described or figured this taxon. Finally, Breuning (1944 a) identified it with a light form of C. pretorius, giving a description but without indicating a type or a typical locality. This taxon must be attributed to Breuning but, being described as a morph, it is infrasubspecific and unavailable according to the ICZN 45.6.1.	en	Medina, Milton Norman, Mantilla, Leslae Kay, Cabras, Analyn, Vitali, Francesco (2021): Catalogue of the genus Cereopsius Pascoe 1857 (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae Lamiinae) in the Philippines with description of a new species from Mindanao.

Unavailable names: Cereopsius quaestor m. confluens Breuning 1944; Cereopsius quaestor m. reductemaculatus Breuning 1980. Note. The Moluccan C. luctuosus and C. tricinctus show white pubescence, while the female syntype of C. luctuosus does not show ringed antennomere 5. Both characters make these taxa more closely related to C. mimospilotus; thus, a closer examination of the Moluccan populations is necessary to revaluate the taxonomy of these species.	en	Medina, Milton Norman, Mantilla, Leslae Kay, Cabras, Analyn, Vitali, Francesco (2021): Catalogue of the genus Cereopsius Pascoe 1857 (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae Lamiinae) in the Philippines with description of a new species from Mindanao.

03F1346813617C522D9DD31AFED1A5B9.taxon	diagnosis	Differential diagnosis. Cereopsius erasmus sp. nov. belongs to the group of species with the elytral suture covered with dense pubescence. C. arbiter Pascoe 1885 differs from it in the stouter habitus, the whitish pronotal base and the white spots of pubescence located on the elytral apex and at the apical angles of the pronotum. C. sexmaculatus Aurivillius 1907 differs in the reddish brown teguments, the yellowish pattern and a yellowish spot of pubescence at the apical angles of the pronotum. C. niassensis Lansberge 1883 differs in the dull teguments, the shorter scape, the antennae without whitish pubescence and the thick band of pubescence traversing the elytral third. C. kulzeri Breuning 1936 differs in the dull teguments, the antennae without whitish pubescence and the elytral markings thinly connected along the suture.	en	Medina, Milton Norman, Mantilla, Leslae Kay, Cabras, Analyn, Vitali, Francesco (2021): Catalogue of the genus Cereopsius Pascoe 1857 (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae Lamiinae) in the Philippines with description of a new species from Mindanao.
