Material and methods The habitus photograph of Ochthebius (Angiochthebius) plesiotypus was taken with a Nikon D4 tethered to a PC and controlled with Nikon Camera Control Pro. Resulting images were aligned

and stacked with Zerene Stacker and then post-processed in Adobe Photoshop CS 4 and CS 5.

The DNA of two specimens (1 , 1 ) of Ochthebius (Angiochthebius) plesiotypus from Chile (Malleco Province) was non-destructively extracted using a standard phenol-chloroform extrac- tion; the DNA is stored in the DNA and tissue collection of the IBEB; the extracted specimens were mounted on a card (see VILLASTRIGO et al. in press for details on the extraction and se- quencing methods).

Angiochthebius subgen.n.

Gymnochthebius plesiotypus group sensu PERKINS (1980).

TYPE SPECIES: Gymnochthebius plesiotypus PERKINS, 1980, by present designation. See Fig. 1 for habitus. MATERIAL EXAMINED: Ochthebius (Angiochthebius) jensenhaarupi KNISCH, 1924 ARGENTINA: Mendoza Province: Santa Rosa, 5.III.2002, leg. G. Flores, 1 , 1  (NMW).

Guerrero, 16 specimens (IBEB, MNCN, NMW) – two of these specimens were used for DNA extraction and sequencing, voucher numbers MNCN-AI502 and MNCN-AI562.

DIAGNOSIS: Length 2.00–2.50 mm, body colour generally black, sometimes with metallic lustre; appendages paler. Body shape more or less as in Ochthebius s.str. (somewhat resembling species of the O. punctatus group with regular elytral striae). Labrum anteriorly excised or emarginate. Lateral margin of pronotum straight or convex in anterior half, never concave; in

posterior half usually not strongly retracted; pronotum more or less cordiform, lateral margins not distinctly angulate; pronotal foveae well developed or very small, median furrow well developed. Elytra elongately oval, with hardly or well impressed series of punctures; elytral intervals flat or convex; elytral gutter usually slightly more explanate in female than in male; elytral apex usually more acuminate in female than in male. Metaventrite and abdominal ventrites 1–5 totally covered with hygrophobic pubescence. Aedeagal main piece symmetrical in ventral/dorsal view, with bifid apex. Endophallus wide and short (not reaching apex of main piece), with a large terminal opening. Parameres long and thin, slightly extending beyond apex of main piece, with a group of relatively long apical setae; inserted subbasally on ventral side of aedeagus.

Buchbesprechung On the subterranean Staphylinidae fauna of South Spain (Fortsetzung von p. 16) (Coleoptera)

Auch für Megasternum concinnum und M. immaculatum gibt es keine Verbreitungskarte, weil V. ASSING die Verbreitung der beiden sehr ähnlichen Arten noch nicht hinreichend geklärt zu sein scheint. Ähnliches gilt für die drei Arten des Hydrobius fuscipes complex (H. fuscipes, H. rottenbergii, Abstract H. subrotundus). Sie werden im vorliegenden Werk gemeinsam unter dem Begriff „Hydrobius fuscipes sensu lato“ in nur einer einzigen Verbreitungskarte abgehandelt. Diese drei Arten sind Staphylinidae from soil samples collected in South Spain, all of them obtained by soil washing, were genetisch eindeutig verschieden aber morphologisch sehr ähnlich und bisher hat noch niemand examined. Seven new species belonging to three subfamilies are described and illustrated: Alevonota alboculata sp.n. (Murcia) of the , Lusitanopsis lencinai sp.n. (Murcia) of the , das bereits gesammelte Material nachdeterminiert. Die Verbreitungskarte von Hydrophilus and Entomoculia (Stenotyphlus) solanae sp.n.
