Vol. 81

A new species of Eucolliuris LIEBKE, 1931 (Coleoptera: Carabidae), E. flavomarginata from Zambia, is here described and the habitus of the new taxon is illustrated. It is the 30th species of this genus known so far and the 21st species known from Africa.

The examination of male paratypes of Bembidion parepum JEDLIČKA, 1933 (Coleoptera: Carabidae) from China confirms that this species belongs to the subgenus Ocydromus CLAIRVILLE, 1806 sensu TOLEDANO (2008a) and more precisely to the B. deletum SERVILLE, 1821 species-group (subgenus Peryphanes JEANNEL, 1941 auct.). Bembidion parepum is redescribed here and its male genitalia are described for the first time. Two Chinese Bembidion species, B. (Ocydromus) magrinii (China, Qinghai) and B. (Ocydromus) heineri (China, Xinjiang) (both belonging to the O. straussi species- group) are described as new. The male genitalia of Amerizus (Tiruka) baxiensis DEUVE, 1998 are described for the first time and a new monospecific species-group is proposed for Amerizus (Tiruka) wrzecionkoi DEUVE, 1998.

Seven new species of the genus Microdytes BALFOUR-BROWNE, 1946 (Coleoptera: Dytiscidae) are described: M. feryi sp.n., M. helenae sp.n. and M. shaverdoae sp.n. from Myanmar, M. heineri sp.n. from Thailand and China, M. paoloi sp.n., M. pederzanii sp.n. from Thailand, and M. rocchii sp.n. from Laos. Microdytes holzmanni WEWALKA & WANG, 1998 is synonymized with M. shunichii SATÔ, 1995. New records of other species of Microdytes are provided.

The third instar larvae of Haliplus kulleri VONDEL and H. maculatus MOTSCHULSKY (Coleoptera: Haliplidae) are described from Lebanon. The first and second instar larvae of Haliplus kulleri or maculatus are described although the two species could not be separated. Haliplus maculatus is reported from Lebanon for the first time. Chaetotaxy of legs is discussed.

Eighty-seven species of Dytiscidae, ten species of Haliplidae, and two species of Noteridae were collected from 37 sampling stations in Ontario and western Quebec during an excursion in August, 2002. First records are provided for one species from Ontario, two species from Quebec, and one species from the Boreal Shield ecozone. In accordance with the present study and data from the literature, the list of aquatic Adephaga of Ontario contains 161 species of Dytiscidae, 17 species of Haliplidae, and two species of Noteridae; 149 species of Dytiscidae, 18 species of Haliplidae, and two species of Noteridae are known from Quebec. For the first time, the fauna of the adephagous water beetles of Manitoulin Island has been explored; and 37 species are reported from eight sampling stations. A taxonomic problem of Oreodytes laevis (FALL) is revealed. New data on bionomics of most of the species are presented.

Six new species of Hydraena KUGELANN (Coleoptera: Hydraenidae) are described: H. esquinita, H. lagamba, H. lascrucensis, H. pajarita, H. pilimera, and H. sanagergelyae. Hydraena brevis SHARP, 1882, H. pontequula PERKINS, 1980 and Ochthebius mesoamericanus PERKINS, 1980 are recorded for the first time from Costa Rica. A key to the species of the Hydraenidae of Costa Rica is provided.

The hydraenid fauna of Armenia is updated based mainly on the examination of the collection of S.M. Yablokov-Khnzorian (1904–1996), as well as on specimens collected by H. Shaverdo & H. Schillhammer in 2001 and by K. Hadulla in 2009. A total of 37 named species is recorded from Armenia, 24 of them for the first time. Two unidentified Armenian species are also reported. A lectotype is designated for Limnebius setifer KHNZORIAN, 1962. Hydraena armeniaca JANSSENS, 1968 and Limnebius setifer KHNZORIAN, 1962 are reported from Turkey for the first time; their aedeagi are illustrated. Haenydra terraevastatae JÄCH, 1988 is here synonymized formally with Hydraena khnzoriani JANSSENS, 1968.

Ten species of the staphylinid subfamily Steninae are recorded from the Natmataung National Park, Chin State, Myanmar. Six of these described as new: Dianous silvicola, D. silvicultrix, Stenus feldmanni, S. harry, S. luteogutta and S. vexativus. Two species are recorded from Myanmar for the first time.

The genus Peucoglyphus BERNHAUER, 1926 (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae: Staphylininae) is reviewed, including comparative notes for closely related genera. The types species of the genus, Peucoglyphus corporaali BERNHAUER, 1926, is redescribed. Three species are described as new: P. balkei (Indonesia: West Papua), P. celebensis (Indonesia: Sulawesi) and P. solomonicus (Solomon Islands).

The paper deals with new species and taxonomic changes as well as new or additional faunistic data of members of the tribe Staphylinini (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae: Staphylininae) from the Palearctic and Oriental Regions. Nineteen species are described as new: Actinomorphus kalimantanensis (Indonesia: Kalimantan), Algon angelikae (Myanmar), A. lisae (Laos), A. reuteri (China), Bisnius kashcheevi (Kazakhstan), B. microphthalmus (Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan), Gabrius castor (Myanmar), G. egentoides (Nepal), G. frischi (Iran, Turkmenistan), G. lackneri (Japan), G. pollux (Myanmar), G. tarasovi (Laos), Philonthus emdenoides (China), P. lisu (China), P. rougemonti (Thailand), P. sabine (China), P. taxiplagoides (Indonesia: Sulawesi), Pseudohesperus ernsti (China), Shaverdolena laosensis (Laos). Three new synonymies are proposed: Agacerus FAUVEL, 1895 (= Dorcophilonthus HAYASHI, 2000), Agacerus pectinatus FAUVEL, 1895 (= Dorcophilonthus clavicornis HAYASHI, 2000), Tasgius melanarius (HEER, 1839) (= Alapsodus bulgaricus COIFFAIT, 1971). Platydracus trimaculatus (FAUVEL, 1895) is transferred from Staphylinus LINNÉ, 1758. A lectotype is designated for Staphylinus rotundicollis MÉNÉTRIÉS, 1832, thus rendering the neotype designation for this species by SCHILLHAMMER (2003) obsolete.

Three new species of the aleocharine genus Caloderella BERNHAUER, 1912 (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae: Aleocharinae) are described from Ecuador: C. mariannae, C. lobata, and C. pastazae. A key to the Neotropical species of Caloderella is provided. The ecological demands of two species are discussed.

Liometoxenus paradoxus (SCRIBA, 1868) comb.n. (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae: Aleocharinae), which was originally described as Myllaena from Italy and long placed in Homoeusa, is redescribed. Homoeusa obscura STILLER, 1925 is synonymised with L. paradoxus. The systematic position of Liometoxenus is discussed.

Two new species of Anacaena THOMSON, 1859, A. jengi and A. smetanai, are described. This is the first record of the genus Anacaena in Taiwan. The male genitalia and other morphological details are illustrated. Both species are endemic to Taiwan, but morphologically very similar to other species, especially from the mainland of China. Both occur in a very wide variety of different aquatic or moist terrestrial habitats.

Four species of Bolboceras KIRBY, 1819 (Coleoptera: Geotrupidae: Bolboceratinae) have been recorded from sub-Saharan Africa. In this paper, a new species, B. kenyense, is described from Kenya. The genus is briefly characterized and a key to the Afrotropical species of Bolboceras is given.

Two new species of the tropical American click beetle genus Semiotus ESCHSCHOLTZ (Coleoptera: Elateridae) are described: S. marciae from Ecuador and S. baumanni from Bolivia. A modified key is provided for both species.

Callipogon (Orthomegas) maryae (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) is described from French Guiana. It is closely related with C. (O.) cinnamomeum (LINNÉ, 1758).

The following new combinations are given: Debus cavulus (BROWNE), D. cylindricus (EGGERS), D. detritus (EGGERS), Fortiborus posticepilosus (SCHEDL) all from Xyleborus. The following new replacement names are proposed for junior homonyms: Cyrtogenius borneanus for C. (Eidophelus) borneensis (BROWNE), Cyrtogenius gracilior for C. (Eidophelus) gracilis (BROWNE). Cyrtogenius longipennis (BROWNE) is resurrected as the correct name for C. elongatissimus WOOD.

Aspidapion (Koestlinia) motschulskyi (HOCHHUTH, 1847) (comb.n., stat.rev.) is removed from synonymy with Aspidapion (Koestlinia) aeneum (FABRICIUS, 1775), redescribed and figured. A lectotype is designated for Apion motschulskyi HOCHHUTH, 1847. Aspidapion motschulskyi is recorded from Israel, Lebanon, Syria, Cyprus, Turkey, Iran, Afghanistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan. Taphrotopium (s.str.) cuprifulgens (SCHILSKY, 1906) is recorded from Turkey for the first time.

Rhynchoneus giuglarisi n.sp. (Coleoptera: Brentidae) is described from French Guiana. It is the second known species of this peculiar genus. Males of Rhynchoneus exhibit unusual ventral appendages beneath head and prothorax. The new species, together with Estenorhinus flaccus (MEYER), is unique within Brentidae due to the long and downwards pointing postocular expansions in the males. The biology of the new species is still unknown.
