Cortodera kokpektensis sp. n. is described from Kokpekty environs (East Kazakhstan) on the base of a single female. The new species is compared with Cortodera analis (Gebler, 1830), and C. ruthena Plavilstshikov, 1936, but most probably it is close to C. sibirica (Plavilstshikov, 1915), described as Leptura (Vadonia) atramentaria sibirica Plavilstshikov, 1915 = Cortodera semenovi Plavistshikov, 1936, syn. n. Aromia moschata jankovskyi ssp. n. is described from near Arslan-Bob (west slope of Fergana ridge, Kirgizia) after two females with partly red prothorax and metallic-blue legs and antennae. The taxon was recorded before as A. m. ambrosiaca from Chatkal and Fergana ridges (Kirgizia). Aromia moschata vetusta Bogachev, 1962 was described before with inavailable name A. moschata ambrosiaca var. vetusta Jankowski, 1934. Aromia moschata sumbarensis ssp. n. is described from Kopet-Dag ridge (Turkmenia) on the base of a single male with metallic thorax, antennae and legs, and so similar to the nominative subspecies – it is the first record of the species from Turkmenia
