03B387D1FFFBFFB4FF79FA11FC608B7A.taxon	etymology	Etymology. The specific epithet of the new species “ puxian ” is in reference to Samantabhadra Bodhisattva, one of the four great Bodhisattvas of Chinese Buddhism, whose ashram Mt. Emei is also the type locality of the new species. A noun in apposition.	en	Wang, Cheng-Bin, He, Li (2021): A new species of Anoplophora Hope, 1839 allied to A. freyi (Breuning, 1947) from Sichuan, China (Coleoptera, Cerambycidae, Lamiinae).

03B387D1FFFBFFB4FF79FA11FC608B7A.taxon	diagnosis	Differential diagnosis. The new species is similar to Anoplophora freyi (Breuning, 1947) (Figs. 2 A – D) in general appearance, but they have different macula patterns on the elytra. Beside this, the new species is distinguishable from the latter by the combination of the following characters: in A. puxian sp. n.: frons, genae, vertex, scape and pedicel with long, sparse, blackish setae (Figs. 1 A – D); pubescent annulations in about basal half of antennomere III, at extreme base of IV – X respectively, almost absent on XI (Figs. 1 A – D); prothorax with many long blackish setae at lateral sides, umbilicated granules and rugosities obviously presented except central area (Figs. 1 A, C); elytra slightly iridescent green with coppery sheen (Figs. 1 A, C); male tergite VIII hardly emarginate at posterior margin (Fig. 4 A), with two evident depressions flank midline of dorsal surface (Fig. 4 C); male ventrite VIII with sclerotized area narrowly emarginate in middle of posterior margin, and broadened laterally (Fig. 4 B); spiculum gastrale with stem slightly curved except base in lateral view (Fig. 5 C); parameres relatively more slender (Figs. 6 D); median lobe relatively thicker (Figs. 7 A – B), moderately curved ventrally in lateral view (Fig. 7 C); female abdominal ventrite VII concolor (Fig. 3 B); spermatheca long, slender, “ L ” - like (Fig. 8 A), undulate in lateral view (Fig. 8 B). While in A. freyi (Breuning, 1947): frons, genae, vertex, scape and pedicel without long blackish setae (Figs. 2 A – D); pubescent annulations in about basal 1 / 3 of antennomeres III – IV respectively, in about basal half of V – X respectively, at extreme base of XI in male or in about basal 2 / 5 and apical 1 / 3 of XI in female (Figs. 2 A – D); prothorax with only several long brownish setae after lateral spines of lateral sides, only a few umbilicated granules and rugosities presented except central area (Figs. 2 A – D); elytra slightly iridescent violet, copper, or blue sheen (Figs. 2 A, C); male tergite VIII distinctly emarginate at posterior margin (Fig. 4 D), with two vague depressions flank midline of dorsal surface (Fig. 4 F); male ventrite VIII with sclerotized area widely emarginate in middle of posterior margin, and narrowed laterally (Fig. 4 E); spiculum gastrale with stem moderately curved except base in lateral view (Fig. 5 F); parameres relatively stouter (Figs. 6 H); median lobe relatively thinner (Figs. 7 E – F), weakly curved ventrally in lateral view (Fig. 7 G); female abdominal ventrite VII bicolor, yellow in lateral areas (Fig. 3 F); spermatheca short, stout, oval (Fig. 8 C), curved in lateral view (Fig. 8 D).	en	Wang, Cheng-Bin, He, Li (2021): A new species of Anoplophora Hope, 1839 allied to A. freyi (Breuning, 1947) from Sichuan, China (Coleoptera, Cerambycidae, Lamiinae).
