All scientific names of the southern African subtribe Eurynotina (Tenebrionidae) are catalogued. Sixteen genera containing 95 species and subspecies are listed. Data concerning primary and secondary types is provided. Schyzoschelus dumosicola var. diversipenis Koch, 1954, is recognized as an independent species. Lectotype for Eurynotus (Solenopistoma) denticostci Mulsant & Rey, 1854 is designated to fix the taxonomie status of this species. Based on the newly acquired and previously published data the diversity patterns of Eurynotina are analyzed. The highest diversity of species was reported from the Lowland and Montane fynbos and renosterveld ecoregions in the surroundings of Cape Peninsula. Distribution of the species is illustrated and listed in a CSV format. A revised key to the genera and subgenera of Eurynotina is provided.
A new species of tigonopoid Platynotina (Atrocrates coconatae sp. nov.) is described, diagnosed and illustrated. An update for the key of the genus Atrocrates is proposed.
Zadenos jani, Z. jozwiki, Z. kaweckii and Z. szatalowiczi are described as new species. Z. incostatus Koch, 1956 and Z. natalensis Koch, 1956, previously known only from female specimens, are redescribed. Lectotype for Zadenos mulsanti Koch, 1956 is designated, in order to fix the taxonomic status of this species. An updated checklist of all known Zadenos species is provided. This paper brings the total species number within the genus to 37.
Based on the newly acquired and previously published data the diversity patterns of Stizopina (Tenebrionidae: Tenebrioninae: Opatrini) are analyzed. At present, the subtribe consists of 101 species and subspecies (in 22 genera) distributed in the arid ecosystems of southern Africa and Madagascar. The highest diversity of species was reported from the Succulent Karoo ecoregion (near the Namibia-South Africa border). Vector data model for Endrödy-Younga’s Coleoptera zones is provided. A new genus, Eichleria, with two new species (E. davidi, E. ostrowskii) of the subtribe Stizopina is described from the Nama Karoo ecoregion (Republic of South Africa). Eichleria differs from the related genera Amathobius and Nemanes in having mentum with median carina, convex pronotum, narrow intercoxal process of prosternum, fine pronotal and elytral sculpture, obtuse protibiae, and straight male mesotibiae.
The taxonomie and distributional data concerning the representatives of the Quadrideres interioris species-group were revised. Lectotypes for Q. interioris (Gebien, 1911), Q. lesnei Koch, 1956 and Q. volcanicus Koch, 1956 were designated. Q. kaszabi sp. nov. and Q. rex sp. nov. were described. An identification key is provided to all known species of the Q. interioris species-group. This paper brings the total species number within the genus Quadrideres to 18.
The catalogue of all known World species of the subtribe Melambiina Mulsant et Rey, 1854 is presented: 24 genera, 195 species and subspecies are listed. The data of primary types is included. Distribution for known species and subspecies is listed and presented on the maps.
On the basis of a newly performed cladistic analysis the taxonomic concepts of Pedinina and its generic components are revised. Blindus and Colpotus are interpreted as subgenera of Pedinus, while Pedinulus and Vadalus are placed in synonymy with that name. Subgenera of Cabirutus are merged: (Cabirutus =Asiobirus syn. Nov., =Dentibirus syn. nov.) Loensus (formerly Loensina) and Pseudopedinus (formerly incerte sedis) are transferred into the subtribe. In conclusion, Loensina is placed as a synonym of Pedinina. The following genera and subgenera are distinguished among Pedinina: Cabirutus (subgen. Cabirutus, Neocabirutus stat. nov.), Colpotinus, Loensus (subgen. Loensus, Pseudopedinus stat. nov.) and Pedinus (subgen. Blindus stat. rev., Colpotus stat. nov.,Pedinus). An identification key to all genera and subgenera of the investigated subtribe is provided. Biogeographic patterns observed within Pedinina are briefly discussed. Loensus (Loensus) immaeulatus is described as a new species. Pedinus infortunatus nom. nov. is proposed as a replacement name for Pedinus strigicollis Reitter, 1904, while Pedinus strigicollis Mulsant and Rey, 1853 iorPandarus strigosus Costa, 1847. A checklist of all species representing Pedinina is provided.
Basing on the newly described (Ectateus ursynowiensis Kamiński sp. nov.) and the type species a new taxonomical hypothesis of the genus Ectateus is proposed. Due to the rules of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature following changes are made: designation of the lectotype for E. modestus (Fairmaire, 1887) and replacement name for the genus Cosmogaster Koch, 1956.
The catalogue of all known species of the melanocratoid lineage of the subtribe Platynotina Koch, 1953 is presented. Eight genera containing 30 species are listed. The data of primary and secondary types is provided. Distribution of the species is listed and illustrated on 9 maps. New distributional data is published for: Melanocratus fairmairei Iwan, 1996, M. validipes Fairmaire, 1895, Sebastianus madagascariensis Iwan, 1999, S. magnus Iwan, 1996, S. ovoideus (Fairmaire, 1902), S. projectus Iwan, 1996, Styphacus girardi Iwan, 2004 and S. phreneticus Iwan, 1996. The relationship between species richness and Malagasy ecoregions is analysed and discussed. MaxEnt software was used to model the hypothetical range of chosen species and indicate the most important abiotic factors responsible for observed distribution. Results of MaxEnt analysis suggest that the precipitation has the major limiting impact from all of analysed factors.
An X-ray microtomographic analysis of the prothoracic skeleton structure of seven Platynotina species is presented. The investigated taxa represent different morphological types of pronotal discs. Tenebrio molitor was used as a reference model to all taxonomie considerations. The anatomical evidence gathered and analyzed in this study indicates that lateral indentations of nota, which are visible in most of the Ectateus generic group representatives, corresponds with a placement of the attachments of the pleural apophyses to the bottom of pronotal disc. Therefore, they should be defined as the apophyseal depressions. Furthermore, the main observed differences between the thoracic structure of the species with conspicuous apophyseal depressions and convex pronotal nota concerns the height of the pronotal disc and the elevation of its edges. The current investigations did not revealed any significant modifications of the endoskeletal structure between the prothoraces with or without the basal indentations. The study shows that X-ray microtomographic analysis is a powerful, non-destructive tool for the taxonomie considerations and that it can be safely applied to the name-bearing types. Furthermore, the application of this method, even to the dried entomological material, may provide many advantages over traditional morphological investigations.
A second species of the genus Zoutpansbergia Koch, 1956 (Z. schoemani sp. nov.) is described from the Limpopo Province in South Africa. Morphology of female terminalia of the studied genus is described for the first time. Systematic position of Zoutpansbergia within the subtribe Melambiina is briefly discussed. Lectotype for Zoutpansbergia serricostata Koch, 1956 is designated, in order to fix the taxonomic status of this species.
The catalogue of all known species of the Afrotropical platynotoid lineage of the subtribe Platynotina Mulsant et Rey, 1853 is presented. Twenty one genera containing 127 species (132 subspecies) are listed. The data of primary and secondary types is provided. Based on the article 45.6.4. of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature Opatrinus edentatus Koch, 1956 and O. pinheyi Koch, 1956 are consider as unavailable names. Distribution of the species is listed and illustrated on 152 maps. The relationship between species richness and Afrotropical ecoregions is analyzed and discussed. MaxEnt software was used to model the hypothetical range of chosen species.
