Abstract

Glenea Newman, 1842 is one of the largest genera of Cerambycidae, containing more than 850 species (according to Mr. Tavakilian’s database ‘Titan 2000’ and the senior author’s study). Based on our work, mainly on the fauna of the oriental region, there are still many undescribed species, including some large and attractive species, such as recently published species: G. paradiana and G. nigrorubricollis (Lin et al. 2009). In this paper we describe G. changchini from Yunnan of China.
