nr 1

The species of the genus Opatroides designated Brullé, 1832 are studied and a key to all species is provided. Lectotypes are designed for Penthicus curtulus Fairmaire, 1892, Penthicus frater Fairmaire, 1896, Penthicus vicinus Fairmaire, 1896 and Opatroides angulatus Baudi, 1875. This taxon is considered to be a geographical subspecies from Syria and Iran of the nominal form, O. vicinus, described from India. Opatroides punctulatus Brullé, 1832 is confirmed to be a widely distributed species, consisting of three geographical subspecies: the nominal form O. punctulatus Brullé, described from Greece, occupying the coast of the Mediterranean Sea; the subspecies subcylindricus Ménétriès, 1849 occupying the Anatolian region, the Middle East, the Caucasus and the Central Asian region; the subspecies lilligi ssp. nov. in the Niger, Burkina Faso, Mauritania and Sudan. The status of Opatroides hemistictus Gebien, 1920 from Namibia and South Africa, as a species from belonging to the genus Mesomorphus Seidlitz, 1893, is confirmed. Figures of the habitus and aedeagus for all taxa are given for the first time.

nr 3

A total of 180 species (including 62 type-species of genera) of 111 genera in all the tribes and subtribes included in the Opatrinae sensu Medvedev (1968) [=Opatrini sensu Doyen and Tschinkel (1982)] have been examined. The terminology of the male genitalia within the taxon has been standardized. The use of the aedeagus structure in the classification of Tenebrionidae is discussed. Four main types of aedeagus structure in the Opatrinae have been distinguished: opatrinoid, dendaroid, platynoid and oncotinoid, as well as three additional groups of genera (blapstinoid, melanimoid and dissonomoid), whose appurtenance to the Opatrinae are debatable and requires verification.

nr 4

A division of the group of genera of the former subfamily Opatrinae (sensu Koch 1956 and Medvedev 1968) into 2 tribes: Opatrini and Pedinini is proposed, based on the structure of male genitalia and trochanter/femur. The two tribes are members of Tenebrioninae, according to the current classification of Tenebrionidae proposed by Lawrence and Newton (1995). Structural characters of the genera of Dissonomini (Aphaleria Reitter, Dissonomus Jacquelin du Val) and Melanimini (Cheirodes Gené, Melanimon Steven, Dolamara Reichardt), and genera Edylius Champion, Stenolamus Gebien and Anophthalmolamus Ferrer make it impossible to include them in either Opatrini or Pedinini; however it is proposed to include the subtribe Eleodiina in the tribe Pedinini.
