Abstrakt: A new species of the leaf beetle subfamily Cryptocephalinae, Cryptocephalus tauricussp. n., is described. Synonymy, variability, and distribution are analyzed, and a new key is given to 13 species of the subgenus Burlinius, which have entirely or partly yellow elytra and are distributed in the European part of Russia, in the Caucasus, and Transcaucasia. New diagnostic characters have been found for several species. Cryptocephalus macellus Suffrian, 1860 is recorded for the first time from Abkhazia and Armenia; C. macilentus Lopatin, 2001, from Armenia, and C. araxicola Iablokoff-Khnzorian, 1968, from Turkmenistan. A new synonymy is established: Cryptocephalus araxicola Iablokoff-Khnzorian, 1968 = C. xanthus Iablokoff-Khnzorian, 1968 syn. n.; = C. rastegari Rapilly, 1980, syn. n. A new pale color form of Cryptocephalus chrysopus (Gmelin, 1788) is described. For all the taxa considered, images of the adult habitus and male genitalia are given. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
