Emphytoecia Fairmaire & Germain, 1859 Emphytoecia Fairmaire & Germain, 1859: 529. Emphytoecia (Dimidiatipenna) Özdikmen, 2025g: 3145. Syn. nov. Remarks. Özdikmen (2025g) divided Emphytoecia into two subgenera and reported: “In first group [Emphytoecia (Emphytoecia) Fairmaire & Germain, 1859: 529], posterior margin of pronotum never with a transverse, narrowly white band; elytra always with a longitudinal, narrowly white band at the suture; light colored bands of hairs on pronotum and elytra always longitudinal, never transverse;” and “In second group, posterior margin of pronotum always with a transverse, narrowly white band; elytra never with a longitudinal, narrowly white band at the suture; light colored bands of hairs on pronotum and elytra both longitudinal and transverse, at least a narrowly white band in the posterior margin of pronotum and a medial or slightly postmedial white band of hairs on elytra always transverse.” One more time, the features pointed out by Özdikmen (2025g) are only specific differences. Furthermore, according to him, the elytral suture in E. (Dimidiatipenna) does not have a longitudinal narrow whitish pubescent band. However, it is present in the type species of the subgenus, Saperda alboliturata Blanchard, 1851 (Elitros … con una muy diminuta línea blanquizea cerca de la sutura [Elytra ... with a very narrow whitish line near the suture]).
