Revision of the pollen beetle genus Meligethes (Coleoptera: Nitidulidae)
Full text linkA taxonomic revision of members of the genus Meligethes Stephens, 1830 is carried out. Taxonomic and distributional notes are provided on fiftythree Meligethes species, mostly known from the Eastern Palearctic and marginally from the Western Palearctic and the Orien-tal Regions. Among these, twentythree new species of Meligethes are diagnosed, figured and described: M. argentithoraxsp. n. (Central China: Shaanxi, Shanxi), M. aurantirugosussp. n. (Nepal), M. aureolineatussp. n. (Central China: Sichuan), M. aurifersp. n. (Central China: Shaanxi, Shanxi), M.brassicogethoidessp. n. (SW China: Yunnan), M. clinei sp. n. (SW China: Yunnan), M. elytralis sp. n. (Cen-tral China: Sichuan), M. ferruginoidessp. n. (Central China: Sichuan), M. cinereoargenteus sp. n. (Central China: Sichuan), M. henan sp. n. (Central China: Henan), M. luteoornatus sp. n. (SW China: Yunnan), M. marmotasp. n. (Nepal), M. nivalissp. n. (SW and central China: Xizang and Chongqing), M. martessp. n. (Central China: Shaanxi, Shanxi, Sichuan), M. nigroaeneus sp. n. (SW China: Yunnan),M. occultus sp. n. (SW China: Yunnan), M. pseudochinensis sp. n. (Central China: Hubei), M. pseudopectoralis sp. n. (SW China: Yun-nan), M. schuelkei sp. n. (Central China: Sichuan, Shaanxi), M. simulator sp. n. (Central-N China: Shanxi), M. stenotarsus sp. n. (SW China: Yunnan, Xizang), M. tryznai sp. n. (SW China: Yunnan), and M. volkovichi sp. n. (SW China: Yunnan).Revaluations at specific rank from synonymy are introduced for Meligetheslutra Solsky 1860, and for M. melleus Grouvelle, 1908. Three new synonymies are established: MeligethesbrevipilusKirejtshuk, 1980 = M.auripilis Reitter, 1889 (syn. n.), Meligethes zakharenkoi Kirejtshuk, 2005 = M.shirakii Sadanari Hisamatsu, 1956 (syn. n.), and Meligethes shirozui Sadanari Hisamatsu, 1965 = M.wagneri Rebmann, 1956 (syn. n.). Complete redescriptions are given for MeligethesbinotatusGrouvelle, 1894, M. castanescens Grouvelle, 1903, M. ferrugineus Reitter, 1873, and M. melleus Grouvelle, 1908. The male of Meligethes lloydi Easton, 1968, is described and figured for the first time. The female genitalia of Meligethes auricomus Rebmann, 1956, M. cinereus Jelínek, 1978, and M. griseus Jelínek, 1978 are described and figured for the first time. Available information on insect-host-plant relationships and ecology are summarized for each species; probably all are as-sociated as larvae with flowers of Rosaceae, chiefly of members of the closely related genera Rosa L., Rubus L., Prunus L., and Cratae-gus Tourn. ex L. All treated species are grouped in two here revaluated subgenera (Meligethes s.str. and Odonthogethes Reitter, 1871), and tentatively grouped also in species-groups and (when necessary) species-complexes, based on their morphology

A new Aristogethes pollen beetle from Oman, with a commented and updated checklist of the species (Coleoptera: Nitidulidae)
Full text linkAn unexpected new species of the genus Aristogethes Audisio & Cline, 2009, A. pelikani sp. nov., is described from southern Oman (Arabian Peninsula). This new species appears to be morphologically rather closely related to a couple of species known from southern Africa (northern South Africa, Botswana and southern Namibia): A. eremita (Audisio, Kirk-Spriggs & Kirejtshuk, 1998) and especially A. rufofuscus (Audisio, Kirk-Spriggs & Kirejtshuk, 1998), with which it shares several morphological traits and some interesting eco-ethological adaptations; these three species are, in fact, all specialized to live in stony sub-desert environments, with phenology mostly in August-September in both areas (southern Africa and southern Arabian Peninsula); they are also all associated for larval development with sub-desertic Malvaceae: Sterculioideae of the genus Hermannia L. The new species is otherwise easily distinguished from its two southern African relatives by the peculiarly shining and coarsely punctuated elytral surface, smaller average body sizes, narrower and at base much more acutely toothed tarsal claws, and the diff erent male and female genitalia, more like those of Aristogethes rufofuscus. The larval hostplant of the new species is represented by Hermannia (Mahernia) paniculata Franch., a small eremic southern Arabian and Northeast African species, typically growing at low altitude in stony sub-desert habitats, close to the sea. An updated and commented checklist to known species of Aristogethes is presented
