Aegomorphus obscurior (Pic, 1904)

Aegomorphus wojtylai Hilszczański et Bystrowski, 2005

Material examined: Ukraine: Luhansk Region, Luhansk Natural Reserve, Stanichno-Luhanske branch, 48.7570°N 39.3584°E, 08.06.2000, 1 ♀ ( V. V. Martynov) .

Aegomorphus obscurior differs from closely related A. clavipes by reduced white pubescence before transverse white central elytral band, wider, relatively flatter and obliquely apically truncated parameres and short, broader base of posterior tegmen appendage (Hilszczański & Bystrowski, 2005; Danilevsky & Shapovalov, 2007). It was described from Poland and now it is also known from Latvia, European Russia (Moscow, Ryazan, and Orenburg Regions), West Siberia (Chelyabinsk, Omsk Regions, Altai Krai), East Siberia (south of Krasnoyarsk Krai, Irkutsk Region), Russian Far East (Amur Region, Primorsky Krai), Eastern Kazakhstan, Mongolia and Japan (Danilevsky & Shapovalov, 2007; Hilszczański, 2008; Danilevsky, 2018). In all known localities A. obscurior is sympatric with A. clavipes (Danilevsky & Shapovalov, 2007) .
