During the study of specimens belonging to this family of beetles from the collection of Mr. Eduard Ezer Carles HERNANDO (Zlín, Czechia), I was able to identify two species new to science, which are herein described. PO Box 118, E – 08911 Badalona, Catalonia, Spain ([email protected]) Ignacio RIBERA † Material and methods Institute of Evolutionary Biology (CSIC-Universitat Pompeu Fabra), Passeig Marítim de la Barceloneta 37, E – Male genitalia were extracted after a brief immersion of the abdomen in a cold solution of 08003 Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain potassium hydrate at 10%; the genital pieces were included in a drop of DMHF (Dimethyl Hydantoin Formaldehyde) resin on a card pinned under the specimen. Habitus images were taken with a Nikon stereomicroscope SMZ-1/1B 80x; measurements were taken with the ocular micrometer of the stereomicroscope. Acronyms: CEZ Collection Eduard Ezer, Zlín, Czechia CMS Collection Alessandro Mascagni, Scandicci, Firenze, Italy Heterocerus ezeri sp.n. TYPE MATERIAL: Holotype (CEZ): MEXICO, Sonora, 28 km S Navojoa, 8.IX.2012, leg. S. Prepsl. Paratypes: 4 (CEZ 3 exs., CMS 1 ex.), same data as holotype. DESCRIPTION: Holotype : Total length 3.2 mm (to apex of labrum); pronotum 1.2 mm wide; elytra 2.0 mm long, 1.3 mm wide across shoulders. Head dark brown, with dense whitish pubescence, and with longer scattered setae; mandibles large, with acute apex; eyes well developed, antennae with 11 antennomeres, apical seven antennomeres clubbed; clypeus with pair of anterior horns, with dense and short setae, longer especially at sides. Pronotum dark brown, lighter on sides, about as wide as base of elytra, rectangular, densely punctate, posteriorly bordered, with dense whitish pubescence and longer setae laterally. Elytra densely punctate, with dense whitish pubescence, and with scattered longer setae; elytral markings of ochraceous colour, disposed as in Fig. 1. Legs ochre, densely pubescent; tibiae with numerous spines and long setae. Abdomen ochre, lighter at sides, stridulatory arch marked; post-metacoxal line absent. Aedeagus (0.7 mm long) and speculum gastrale (V-shaped) as in Fig. 2. 254 Koleopt. Rdsch. 90 (2020) Figs. 1–2: Heterocerus ezeri, holotype; 1) elytral markings; 2) aedeagus and spiculum gastrale. Scales: 2.0 mm (Fig. 1), 0.7 mm (Fig. 2). Figs. 3–4: Heterocerus prepsli, holotype; 3) elytral markings; 4) aedeagus and spiculum gastrale. Scales: 2.3 mm (Fig. 1), 0.9 mm (Fig. 2). 254 Koleopt. Rdsch. 90 (2020) MASCAGNI: Two new species of Heterocerus from Mexico (HETEROCERIDAE) 255 Paratypes : Total length 3.2–3.5 mm (to apex of labrum); pronotum 1.1–1.2 mm wide; elytra 2.0–2.2 mm long, 1.2–1.3 mm wide across shoulders. Externally similar to holotype. ETYMOLOGY: I am glad to dedicate this new taxon to my colleague Eduard Ezer (Zlín, Czechia). DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS: Heterocerus ezeri is related to the H. philippensis group (MASCAGNI & SKALICKÝ 2007) due to the shape of the male genitalia; however, it differs in the disposition of the elytral pattern and the morphology of the aedeagus. DISTRIBUTION: The new species is at present known only from the type locality. Heterocerus prepsli sp.n. TYPE MATERIAL: Holotype (CEZ): MEXICO, Sonora, 28 km S Navojoa, 8.IX.2012, leg. S. Prepsl. Paratypes: 1 (CMS), 1 (CEZ), same data as holotype. DESCRIPTION: Holotype : Total length 3.7 mm (to apex of labrum); pronotum 1.3 mm wide; elytra 2.3 mm long, 1.4 mm wide across shoulders. Head dark brown, with dense whitish pubescence and with longer scattered setae; mandibles large, with acute apex; eyes well developed, antennae with 11 antennomeres, apical seven antennomeres clubbed; clypeus with pair of anterior horns, with dense and short setae, longer especially at sides. Pronotum black, less dark at sides, about as wide as base of elytra, rectangular, densely punctate, posteriorly bordered, with dense whitish pubescence and longer setae laterally. Elytra densely punctate, with dense whitish pubescence, and with scattered longer setae; elytral markings of ochraceous colour, disposed as in Fig. 3. Legs ochre, densely pubescent; tibiae with numerous spines and long setae. Abdomen lighter brown at sides, stridulatory arch marked; post-metacoxal line absent. Aedeagus (0.9 mm long) and speculum gastrale (V-shaped) as in Fig. 4. Paratype : Total length 3.7 mm (to apex of labrum); pronotum 1.3 mm wide; elytra 2.3 mm long, 1.4 mm wide across shoulders. Externally similar to holotype. Paratype : Total length 4.4 mm (to apex of labrum); pronotum 1.5 mm wide; elytra 2.8 mm long, 1.6 mm wide across shoulders. Externally similar to holotype. ETYMOLOGY: I am glad to dedicate this new taxon to Stanislav Prepsl (Brno, Czechia), collector of the type series. DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS: Heterocerus prepsli is probably related to H. similis GROU- VELLE, 1896 and H. reticulatus PACHECO, 1964 because of the shape of the male genitalia; how- ever, it differs in the disposition of the elytral pattern and the morphology of the aedeagus. DISTRIBUTION: The new species is at present known only from the type locality.

Description of Use(s): Environmental education, interpretation, wildlife observation, and photography are priority public uses of the National Wildlife Refuge System. As proposed, they would occur from outside the protective fence or under controlled visits inside the protective fence since the Refuge is otherwise closed to the public. Antioch Dunes NWR provides an opportunity for increasing awareness of the two endangered plants and one endangered insect species on the Refuge through guided tours and interpretive programs and information.

The following explanation of techniques is provided to help clarify notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1. Manuscripts may not always be complete. When it is not possible to obtain missing pages, a note appears to indicate this. 2. When copyrighted materials are removed from the manuscript, a note ap­ pears to indicate this. 3. Oversize materials (maps, drawings, and charts) are photographed by sec­ tioning the original, beginning at the upper left hand comer and continu­ ing from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. Each oversize page is also filmed as one exposure and is available, for an additional charge, as a standard 35mm slide or in black and white paper format. * 4. Most photographs reproduce acceptably on positive microfilm or micro­ fiche but lack clarify on xerographic copies made from the microfilm. For an additional charge, all photographs are available in black and white standard 35mm slide format.* *For more information about black and white slides or enlarged paper reproductions, please contact the Dissertations Customer Services Department.

Synopsis of Ochthebius LEACH from Mainland China, with descriptions of 23 new species (Coleoptera) M.A. JÄCH Abstract The species of Ochtlwhius LtiACII (Coleoptera: Ilydracnidae) from Mainland China are revised taxonomically; a total of 41 species is recorded; 23 species are described as new to science: O. (Asiobates) Jlagel lifer, O. (Enicocenis) exiguus, O. (£".) nigraspenilus, O. (E.) obesus, O. (E.) rotwulcitus, O. (s.str.) amlreasi, O. (s.str.) andreasoides, O. (s.str.) argentatus, O. (s.str.) asiobatoides, O. (s.str.) asperatus, O. (s.str.) caligatus, O. (s.str.) castellamis, O. (s.str.) enicoceroides, O. (s.str.) fujianensis, O. (s.str.) gonggashanensis, O. (s.str.) guangdongensis, O. (s.str.) hainanensis, O. (s.str.) jilanzhui, O. (s.str.) sichnanensis, O. (s.str.) stastnyi, O. (s.str.) wangmiaoi, O. (s.str.) wuzhishanensis, and O. (s.str.) yaanensis. One new synonymy is proposed: Ochthebius (s.str.) opacipennis CHAMPION, 1920 (= O. exilis Pu, 1958). Ochthebius orientalis JANSSHNS, 1962 is considered as a possible junior synonym of O. flexus PL), 1958. Ochthebius salebrosus Pu is transferred from subgenus Enicocenis STRPHÜNS to Ochthebius s.str. The genus Ochthebius is recorded for the first time from Gansu and Fujian. Ochthebius klapperichi JÄCH is recorded for the first time from China (Yunnan) and Myanmar. Ochthebius unimaculatus Pu is recorded for the first time from Gansu. Ochthebius lobatus Pu is recorded for the first time from Jilin, Liaoning and Yunnan. Ochthebius maiinus (PAYKULI.) is recorded for the first time from Nei Mongol and Shandong.
