species of Dermatohomoeus (Coleoptera,
Leiodidae, Leiodinae) Abstract. Dermatohomoeus balkei sp. nov. and D. michaeli sp. nov. from Papua (former Irian Jaya),

Lemodes bellstedti sp. nov., L. finisterrensis sp.
nov., and L. jayawijaya sp. nov. are described and
illustrated. Updated identification key to species of Lemodes Boheman,

Tomáš LACKNER Revision of the genus Terametopon, with
description of new species (Coleoptera: Histeridae) Abstract.
The
genus Terametopon Vienna, 1987,
consisting of two subgenera Terametopon
and Psammoprinus Gomy &
Vienna, 1996, is revised herein. It now contains seven species, one of which,
T. (T.) foveatus sp. nov. is described as new. The
species T. truncatus Gomy &
Vienna, 1999, known from a single male with severely damaged body (head and
prothorax missing), has not been incorporated into this study and is retained
as Terametopon incertae sedis. Male
genitalia and SEM photographs of all known species (except for T. truncatus) are given. A key to the
species is provided. Mark G. VOLKOVITSH Xenopsis akiyamai sp. nov. from
Sumatra (Coleoptera: Buprestidae: Polycestinae: Polycestini: Xenopsina) Abstract. Xenopsis
akiyamai sp. nov. from Sumatra (Indonesia) is described, illustrated and
compared with its congeners. A modified key, checklist, and distributional
map of Xenopsis Saunders, 1867
species are provided. Zdeněk ŠVEC Two new species of the genus Leiodes, with new records of the subfamily
Leiodinae (Coleoptera: Leiodidae) from Turkey Abstract. Leiodes svihlai sp. nov. and L. aksekiana
sp. nov. from Turkey are described and distinguished from similar species.
Turkish Leiodes Latreille, 1797
species are keyed. Agaricophagus
italicus Hlisnikovský, 1964, Ansibaris
strigipennis Daffner, 1989, Agathidium
(Cyphoceble) arcticum Thomson, 1862 and Agathidium (Neoceble) haemorrhoum
Erichson, 1845 are recorded from Turkey for the first time. |

Svatopluk BÍLÝ & Vítězslav KUBÁŇ Two new species of the genus Anthaxia from
eastern Asia (Coleoptera: Buprestidae: Buprestinae: Anthaxiini) Abstract.
Two new species of the genus Anthaxia
Eschscholtz, 1829 from eastern Asia are described, illustrated and compared
with the morphologically similar species of the relevant species-groups: Anthaxia (Anthaxia)
longipes sp. nov. from Thailand (Chiang Mai) and A. (Haplanthaxia) laticollis sp. nov. from China (Gansu). Martin Baehr A new genus and two
new species of the subfamily Migadopinae from Tasmania (Coleoptera:
Carabidae) Abstract. A new genus of the carabid subfamily
Migadopinae Chaudoir, 1861, Migadopiella gen. nov. and two new
species, Migadopiella convexipennis sp. nov. and M.
octoguttata sp. nov. are described from Tasmania. In body shape
the new genus differs from all described Australian migadopine genera, but
aedeagus and parameres and their pilosity are most similar to those of Amarotypus
edwardsii Bates, 1872 of New Zealand which so far is the single
representative of the tribe Amarotypini Erwin, 1985. Hence the new genus is
provisionally included in Amarotypini. With respect to its small size, very
convex shape, and structure of the male genitalia, the new genus is probably
quite apomorphic within Migadopinae. Wolfgang BARRIES Belionota (Belionota) jakli
sp. nov. aus Indonesien und Chrysobothris (Chrysobothris)
takahashii sp. nov. von Palau (Coleoptera: Buprestidae: Chrysobothrini) Abstract. Belionota (Belionota) jakli sp. nov.
from Siberut Isl., Indonesia and C. (Chrysobothris) takahashii
sp.
nov. from the Republic of Palau, Micronesia are described and illustrated. Both new species are compared with closely related species in
this area. Vítězslav KUBÁŇ & Svatopluk BÍLÝ Phaenops yin sp. nov. and P. yang sp. nov. from China (Coleoptera: Buprestidae: Buprestinae:
Melanophilini) Abstract.
Two new species of the genus Phaenops Dejean, 1833 from China: Phaenops
yin sp. nov. and P. yang sp. nov., belonging
to the P. cyanea (Fabricius, 1775) species-group, are described,
illustrated and compared with similar taxa: Phaenops cyanea (Fabricius,
1775) and P. knoteki knoteki Reitter, 1896. Svatopluk POKORNÝ & Jiří ZÍDEK Re-validation of Heliocopris sirius and comments on Heliocopris
cuneifer (Coleoptera:
Scarabaeidae: Scarabaeinae: Coprini) Abstract. Heliocopris
sirius Gillet, 1925 is re-validated, illustrated and compared
with Heliocopris hamifer Harold, 1878 [“form sirius” sensu Janssens (1939)]. This species does
not fit in any of the groups previously
proposed by us and is therefore placed in a new H. sirius Gillet, 1925
species-group, of which it is the sole representative. A major male of Heliocopris cuneifer Lesne, 1907 is
reported and illustrated for the first time. Svatopluk POKORNÝ & Jiří ZĺDEK Review of the
Gymnopleurini (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Scarabaeinae) I. Introduction and
the genus Allogymnopleurus Abstract.
A brief
introduction to the tribe, including a key to the genera, and a review of the
genus Allogymnopleurus Janssens, 1940 are presented in the form of a
catalogue and a key to the species. Eighteen species are considered valid and
A. sexdentatus Balthasar 1963 is synonymized with A. alluaudi
(Garreta, 1914). All species are illustrated. |
