Description.

Description of adult by Loginova (1975 b) and Luo (2016). Fifth instar immature unknown.

Distribution.

China ( Hebei, Shanxi, Xinjiang; as Camarotoscena wulingshanica , C. wutaishanica , C. xinjiangica ( Li 2011)) , Kyrgyzstan, Mongolia, Russia (Siberia, Tuva), Tadzhikistan, Uzbekistan ( Loginova 1972, 1975 b; Baeva 1985; Gegechkori and Loginova 1990), Tadzhikistan (as Camarotoscena pamirica ( Baeva 1983 b)) .

Host plant.

Populus laurifolia Ledeb. , P. usbekistanica Kom. ( Salicaceae ) ( Gegechkori and Loginova 1990), not confirmed by the presence of immatures.

Comment.

Camarotoscena bianchii is characterised by the female subgenital plate which is square in lateral view (Fig. 5 E ). According to the original description by Baeva (1983 a) this is also the case in C. pamirica . We consider the two conspecific and formally synonymise the two. The square subgenital plate is found also in C. wulingshanica , C. wutaishanica and C. xinjiangica which were synonymised by Luo (2016) with C. bianchii , synonymies which are not valid according to Article 8 of the ICZN (1999). For this reason we formally propose the synonymies here. The record of C. speciosa from Mongolia by Klimaszewski (1973) refers to C. bianchii ( Gegechkori and Loginova 1990) .
