Lectotype designation for non-synonymic species names involve: P. badeni GORHAM, P. bipunctatum GORHAM, P. disconotatum PIC, P. eurymanthoides SCHENKLING, P. fasciculatum (KLUG), P. fugax (KLUG), P. inaequalicolle SCHENKLING, P. junctum PIC, P. lituratum (KIRBY), P. luridum GORHAM, P. nigroclavatum CHEVROLAT, P. niveum (CHEVROLAT), P. notabile GORHAM, P. optabile GORHAM, P. photinoides (CHEVROLAT), 337 P. piciventre CHEVROLAT, P. placidum SCHENKLING, P. ramosum SCHENKLING, P. riveti LESNE, P. schenklingi GORHAM, P. semirufum GORHAM, and Enoplium viridipenne (KIRBY). Lectotype designation for junior synonyms involve: Enoplium auripenne HOPE, Enoplium fulvicornis LUCAS, Pelonium atronotatum PIC, Pelonium corporaali PIC, Pelonium lateapicale PIC, Pelonium praeustum SPINOLA, Pelonium multinotatum PIC, Pelonium separatum PIC, Pelonium tarsale SCHENKLING, and Pelonium unipunctatum PIC. Morphological evidence and information from collection labels suggest that these beetles are predators of wood-infesting insects. Some show bark-like cryptic coloration and a body form that implies involvement in Batesian mimicry with Lampyridae. Pelonium species are thought to have originated from South American ancestors that eventually generated 15 lines of evolution as indicated via a computer generated phylogeny. This treatise includes a morphological analysis, review of natural history, key to species, discussion of species-group evolution, 199 line drawings, 8 electron micrographs, 8 Auto Montage morphological illustrations, 89 figures of male terminalia, 18 distribution maps, and 105 habitus photographs.

Morphologische Belege sowie die Informationen der Fundortetiketten weisen darauf hin, dass die Käfer Räuber holzbewohnender Insekten sind. Einige zeigen eine borkenähnliche, kryptische Färbung und eine Körperform, die auf Bates'sches Mimikry mit Lampyridae hindeutet. Man kann davon ausgehen, dass Pelonium-Arten sich aus südamerikanischen Vorfahren entwickelt und möglicherweise 15 evolutive Linien hervorgebracht haben, wie anhand der computer-basierten Phylogenie angedeutet wird. Diese Bearbeitung beinhaltet eine morphologische Analyse, eine Übersicht zur Natur- geschichte, einen Bestimmungsschlüssel der Arten, eine Diskussion zur Evolution der Artengruppen, 199 Zeichnungen, 8 elektronenmikroskopische Aufnahmen, 8 morpholo- gische Automontage-Illustrationen, 89 Abbildungen männlicher Geschlechtsorgane, 18 Verbreitungskarten und 105 Habitusfotos.

The family contains about 50 genera and 600 described species, and the group was recently classified by Kolibáč into three subfamilies, Lophocaterinae, Peltinae and Trogossitinae. Among the lophocaterine genera, a genus Ancyrona Reitter includes 62 species in most parts of the world except the Nearctic region, and is divided into five informal species groups by Kolibáč. In this study, the genus Ancyrona and its a single species, A. diversa (Pic), is newly reported in the Korean fauna. A diagnosis, habitus photographs, and illustrations of female diagnostic characters are provided, with a key to Palaearctic species of the genus Ancyrona.

  • Taxonomic Review of Euphydryas Maturna
    Acta Zoologica Academiae Scientiarum Hungaricae 58 (2), pp. 145–161, 2012 TAXONOMIC REVIEW OF EUPHYDRYAS MATURNA (LINNAEUS, 1758) (LEPIDOPTERA, NYMPHALIDAE) WITH DESCRIPTION OF A NEW SUBSPECIES FROM DOBROGEA (ROMANIA) AND NOTES ON CONSERVATION BIOLOGY RÁKOSY, L.1, PECSENYE, K.2, MIHALI, C.1, TÓTH, A.2 and VARGA, Z.2 1Department of Taxonomy and Ecology, Babes-Bolyai University RO-3400, Str.

Hungary, E-mail: [email protected] Taxonomy, geographical range and subspecific subdivision of Euphydryas maturna are con- sidered. The isolated population from Dobrogea is described as E. maturna opulenta ssp. n. based on external and genital characters. The separation is also supported by the significant genetic differentiation based on 17 allozyme loci. The Dobrogea population was shown to be highly differentiated from the nearby populations in the Carpathian basin. This population may therefore be an relict population and possibly also an evolutionarily significant unit. Its conservation is of high concern as are many other butterfly species inhabiting sparse decidu- ous forests. With 2 tables and 18 figures. Key words: Melitaeini taxonomy, biogeography, Euphydryas maturna subspecies, genital char- acters, conservation biology INTRODUCTION Phylogenetic subdivision of Euphydryas Species of the genus Euphydryas SCUDDER, 1872 (sensu lato) (Nymphali- dae, Melitaeini) have a Holarctic distribution. Eight species occur in the Palae- arctic region and six in the Nearctic region (HIGGINS 1978). They form a mono- phyletic group within the Melitaeini clade as opposed to the Chlosyne–Phycio- des–Melitaea monophylum (ZIMMERMANN et al.

The checkered beetle genera Parvochaetus, n. gen. and Amboakis, n. gen. are described and the genus Ellipotoma Spinola is reviewed. Four new species plus P.linearis (Gorham), which represents a new combination, comprise Parvochaetus: P. albicornis, P. froeschneri, P. fucolatus, and P. sandaracus. Amboakis, a replacement name for the junior homonym Teutonia Opitz, involves four previously described species and 20 new species.
