Iselma Haag-Rutenberg 1879
No full textGenus Iselma Haag-Rutenberg, 1879 The taxonomy of this genus was revised by Bologna et al. (2001), who described the first instar larva, and by Pitzalis & Bologna (2008) who published a key to the species and described several new species from Namibia and South Africa. Moreover, Pitzalis & Bologna (2010) defined phylogenetic relationships and groups of species.Published as part of Bologna, Marco A., Amore, Valentina & Pitzalis, Monica, 2018, Meloidae of Namibia (Coleoptera): taxonomy and faunistics with biogeographic and ecological notes, pp. 1-141 in Zootaxa 4373 (1) on page 9, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4373.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/115172
IMPATTO SULLA BIODIVERSITA' LEGATO ALL'INTRODUZIONE DELLA TESTUGGINE D'ACQUA AMERICANA IN ITALIA
No full textThe impact of the alien species Trachemys scripta, introduced from SE USA by the international pet trade, on the Italian fauna was briefly analysed. The presence of this species mainly affect amphibians and the native European pond terrapin (Emys orbicularis
Hycleus dvoraki Bologna & Amore & Pitzalis 2018
No full textCj) Hycleus dvoraki species group Tentatively we consider in this group two new species, H. dvoraki and H. aridus, both from the Namib Desert and syntopic in two localities. These species are characterized by the combination of the following traits: 11 short and black antennomeres, VII–X slightly subserrate, particularly in male, XI not elongate; aedeagus with a single apical slender hook; protarsomeres distinctly shorter than protibiae.Published as part of Bologna, Marco A., Amore, Valentina & Pitzalis, Monica, 2018, Meloidae of Namibia (Coleoptera): taxonomy and faunistics with biogeographic and ecological notes, pp. 1-141 in Zootaxa 4373 (1) on page 84, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4373.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/115172
Afrolytta Kaszab 1959
No full textGenus Afrolytta Kaszab, 1959 The genus is recorded for the first time from Namibia and it results endemic to both Namibian and South African Namaqualand. Afrolytta needs to be revised because Kaszab (1959) asssigned to it only three species (A. amoena, A. carneola, and A. mashuna). A new species from South African Namaqualand is described below, while mashuna (Péringuey, 1899), actually belongs to the eleticine genus Morphozonitis Pic, 1922 (Bologna 2009).Published as part of Bologna, Marco A., Amore, Valentina & Pitzalis, Monica, 2018, Meloidae of Namibia (Coleoptera): taxonomy and faunistics with biogeographic and ecological notes, pp. 1-141 in Zootaxa 4373 (1) on page 20, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4373.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/115172
Mylabrini
No full textTribe Mylabrini Phylogenetic studies on this tribe, based on molecular markers (Bologna et al. 2005, 2008c; Pan et al. 2013; Salvi et al., in preparation), highlighted the relationships among most genera. The two new genera described in the present paper, were not examined from a molecular point of view and their possible relationships are here discussed according to morphological evidences.Published as part of Bologna, Marco A., Amore, Valentina & Pitzalis, Monica, 2018, Meloidae of Namibia (Coleoptera): taxonomy and faunistics with biogeographic and ecological notes, pp. 1-141 in Zootaxa 4373 (1) on page 40, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4373.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/115172
Hycleus hybridus
No full textCg) Hycleus hybridus species group This group of species was partially defined by Pardo Alcaide (1958a). It is well characterized by the structure of male maxillae and labial palpomeres. The fore portion of maxillary stipes is depressed and variously shaped, but greatly distinct from the posterior portion. We tentatively refer to this group at least the following species: H. hybridus (Marseul, 1872), H. herero (Borchmann, 1940), both from Namibia, H. convexior (Pic, 1909) (and its synonym gridellii Pardo Alcaide, 1958) from eastern Africa, H. ligatus (Marseul, 1870) from eastern Africa and Arabia, erroneously referred to the dubiosus group by Bologna & Turco (2007), and H. cruentatus (Klug, 1845) from Somalia, Ethiopia and Arabia.Published as part of Bologna, Marco A., Amore, Valentina & Pitzalis, Monica, 2018, Meloidae of Namibia (Coleoptera): taxonomy and faunistics with biogeographic and ecological notes, pp. 1-141 in Zootaxa 4373 (1) on page 78, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4373.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/115172
Eleticinae Wellman 1910
No full textSubfamily Eleticinae This subfamily of Meloidae (Bologna et al. 2008b) is mainly represented in Namibia by the tribe Derideini, genus Iselma. The new genus Namibeletica, a taxon incertae sedis, probably belongs to the tribe Eleticini, which is represented with certainty in Namibia by the genus Eletica Lacordaire, recognized for the first time in this study. Moreover, Bologna (2009) recorded two genera of the tribe Morphozonitini (Mimiselma Bologna, 2009 and Morphozonitis Pic, 1924) from southern Angola (in the Namib Desert and mopane savannah), just close to northern Namibia, which could be found in the extension of the same ecosystems in Namibia.Published as part of Bologna, Marco A., Amore, Valentina & Pitzalis, Monica, 2018, Meloidae of Namibia (Coleoptera): taxonomy and faunistics with biogeographic and ecological notes, pp. 1-141 in Zootaxa 4373 (1) on page 8, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4373.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/115172

(Fig. 4I) Decapotoma adamantina Péringuey, 1888 Types. Types of this species were examined at SAMC. Distribution. Southwestern Namibia (new species for this country) and northwestern South Africa.

Species related primarily to the Succulent Karoo and endemic to a narrow area extended in both South African and Namibian Namaqualand, and marginally in the South African Nama Karoo. Well characterized by the combination of the elytral colouration, with a posterior shiny orange spot, and 10 antennomeres.Published as part of Bologna, Marco A., Amore, Valentina & Pitzalis, Monica, 2018, Meloidae of Namibia (Coleoptera): taxonomy and faunistics with biogeographic and ecological notes, pp. 1-141 in Zootaxa 4373 (1) on page 67, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4373.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/115172
