Four new species of the genus Tetragonomenes are described from Sulawesi under the names Tetragonomenes banaszkiewiczae sp. nov., T. cyanopterus sp. nov., T. robusticeps sp. nov., and T. cupreomicans sp. nov.
The status of 23 species-group names used by Charles De Geer, for beetles classified in PyrochroaGeoffroy, 1762, and TenebrioLinnaeus, 1758, is assessed. Thirteen of these species-group names are unavailable (ten were published in synonymy, three are subsequent usages of available names): Pyrochroa rubra De Geer, 1775 = Pyrochroa coccinea (Linnaeus, 1760); Pyrochroa bimaculata De Geer, 1775 = Apalus bimaculatus (Linnaeus, 1760); Tenebrio acuminatus De Geer, 1775 = Blaps mortisaga (Linnaeus, 1758); Tenebrio variolosus De Geer, 1775 = Upis ceramboides (Linnaeus, 1758); Tenebrio molitor De Geer, 1775 = Tenebio molitorLinnaeus, 1758; Tenebrio rugosus De Geer, 1775 = Opatrum sabulosum (Linnaeus, 1760); Tenebrio villosus De Geer, 1775 = Lagria hirta (Linnaeus, 1758); Tenebrio hirticornis De Geer, 1775 = Orthocerus clavicornis (Linnaeus, 1758); Tenebrio boleti De Geer, 1775 = Diaperis boleti (Linnaeus, 1758); Tenebrio gibbus De Geer, 1775 = Psammodes gibbus (Linnaeus, 1761); Tenebrio maurus De Geer, 1775 = Tenebrioides mauritanicus (Linnaeus, 1758); Tenebrio aeneus De Geer, 1775 = Tenebrio chalybeusLinnaeus, 1767, a misidentification of Xylopinus saperdiodes (Olivier, 1775); and Tenebrio surinamensis De Geer, 1775 = Oryzaephilius surinamensis (Linnaeus, 1758). The holotype of Pyrochroa tomentosaDe Geer, 1775, and specimens described under the name Tenebrio maurus, De Geer, 1775, from the De Geer Collection were rediscovered within the Paykull Collection, Swedish Natural History Museum. Pyrochroa nigraDe Geer, 1775, is a junior synonym of Prionychus ater (Fabricius, 1775); a recently reported synonymy with Schizotus pectinicornis (Linnaeus, 1758), is an error. The holotypes of Pyrochroa nitidaDe Geer, 1775, and Tenebrio lardariusDe Geer, 1775, are considered lost. Tenebrio gibbusDe Geer, 1778, a junior primary homonym of Tenebrio gibbusLinnaeus, 1760, has the replacement name Tenebrio striatusRetzius, 1783, and is a synonym of Zophosis reticulatusSay, 1824, syn. nov., making the valid combination of this North American species Discodemus striatus (
The second part of the world catalogue of Gonocephalum Solier, 1834 contains the list of the type species preserved in the Hungarian Natural History Museum (Hungary, Budapest), the list of the papers on Gonocephalum species and additional data for 95 species and subspecies. At present, 417 species and subspecies belong to the genus Gonocephalum.
A new species of the genus Opatrum Fabricius, 1775, 0. (Opatrum) malgorzataesp. nov., is described from Corsica. It is compared to its Sardinian endemic relative O. (Opatrum) dahli Küster, 1849. Photographs of habitus and aedeagus of both species are presented.
The catalogue of all known World species of the subtribe Melambiina Mulsant et Rey, 1854 is presented: 24 genera, 195 species and subspecies are listed. The data of primary types is included. Distribution for known species and subspecies is listed and presented on the maps.
Cylindrinotus tchorokhicussp. nov. and Probaticus (Pelorinus) banaszkiewiczaesp. nov. are described from northeastern Turkey (Artvin Province). The first species is similar to C. constrictus (Seidlitz, 1896), but differs from it by flattened lateral sides of pronotum, strongly thickened outer margins and base of pronotum, more shining body and structure of aedeagus. The new species of Probaticus Vauloger, 1900 is close to P. corrugatus (Seidlitz, 1896), but differs from it by the structure and punctation of pronotum and propleura, structure of elytra and genitalia of male, and pubescence on anal sternite.
Review of the O. korbi species-group is given. 5 species and 1 subspecies, including four new taxa are known from Southern Anatolia: O. korbi (Reitter, 1902), O. perarmatusNabozhenko et Tichý, 2006, O. svetlanaesp. nov. svetlanae subsp. nov., O. svetlanae beydagensissubsp. nov., O. nasreddinisp. nov., O. malgorzataesp. nov. Morphological characters of species-group, bionomics and distribution are discussed.
Crypsis malgosiaesp. nov. from China (Sichuan) is described. New records of known species are presented, significantly expanding the known distribution of the genus (now 20 species). For most species photographs and drawings of the aedeagi are added for the first time to facilitate subsequent identifications.
Donaciolagria malgorzataesp. nov. from Laos and Thailand is described. New country and new Chinese province records of formerly described species of DonaciolagriaPic, 1914 are given.
Three new species of the Australian genus Myrabolia (M. championi, M. malgosiae, M. weiri) are described, diagnosed and illustrated. The key to the known species of the genus is updated.
Calodromus kosteliaesp. nov. from Malaysia is described based on a single male specimen. The new taxon is closely related to Calodromus vethi Kleine, 1915 but can be distinguished by the different shape of the hind legs and by the absence of an apical tubercle on the first tarsal article of the male posterior legs. Calodromus malgosiaesp.nov. from Myanmar is also described based on a single male specimen; it is close to Calodromus amabilisKleine, 1916 but can be distinguished by the different shape of the hind legs and by the absence of a tuft of hair on the apical tubercles of the first tarsal article of the male posterior legs. The following new synonymy is also established: C. horishanusKano, 1930 = C. itoHeller, 1910. A key is provided for the identification of the males of the known species of Calodromus Guérin-Méneville, 1832. Some locality records are provided; Calodromus simplexHeller, 1910 and Calodromus amabilisKleine, 1916 are recorded for the first time from Malaysia.
The first, second and third larval instars of Agyrtodes crassus and an unknown species of Zearagytodes, and the third instar of Dictydiella turneri are described in detail, illustrated and measured. The details of their chaetotaxy and porotaxy are provided. Larval characters of Dictydiella leleupi are compared with those of D. turneri. Morphological and chaetotaxic differences among mature larvae of the Agyrtodini genera Agyrtodes, Cholevomorpha, Dasypelates, Dictydiella, Eupelates, Paragyrtodes, Ragytodina and Zearagytodes are summarized. New morphological characters of Leiodidae larvae are documented and discussed.
A new stygobite species Acanthocyclops transylvanicussp. nov. is described from the north-western Romanian Carpathians (Apuseni Mountains) and is accommodated in the subterranean kieferi-group. Acanthocyclops transylvanicussp. nov. resembles closely A. biarticulatusMonchenko, 1972 in the segmentation pattern of the swimming legs (3.2/3.2/3.2/3.2), but differs by the following characters: antennary second endopodite segment with 7 setae; distal articles of endopodites of P1 and P3 with 4 and 5 setae, respectively; absence of coxopodite ornamentation pattern in leg 4; leg 4 endopodite with 3-segmented appearance, but lacking a functional articulation between the second and third segment. We assume that the 2-segmented nature of the leg 4 endopodite as observed in both species is a convergent acquisition. The adult shape of the leg 4 endopodite in A. transylvanicussp. nov. results from the simple suppression of an arthrodial membrane formation. A. transylvanicus is the ninth representative known in Romania which is accommodated in the kieferi-growp. An identification key for the species of kieferi-growp known to occur in Romania is given.
