Revision der Gattung Amarygmus Dalman, 1823 sowie verwandter Gattungen. XXVIII. Angaben zu Amarygmus-Arten, die von Fabricius, Weber, Wiedemann, Hope und Pascoe beschriebenen wurden

摘要

The types of the following species of Amarygmus Dalman, 1823 have been examined: Amarygmus morio (Fabricius, 1775), A. bicolor (Fabricius, 1775), A. micans (Fabricius, 1794), A. splendidulus (Fabricius, 1801), A. cuprarius (Weber, 1801), A. pici-tarsis (Fairmaire, 1882) [=A. aeneus (Wiedemann, 1823)], A. picicornis (Hope, 1843), A. anthracinus (Hope, 1843), A. convexus Pascoe, 1866, A. cupido Pascoe, 1869, A. exilis Pascoe, 1869, A. maurulus Pascoe, 1870, A. minutus Pascoe, 1869, A. obtusus Pascoe, 1869, A. pascoei (Gebien, 1911) [=Eurypera cuprea Pascoe, 1870], A. pusillus Pascoe, 1869, A. semissis Pascoe, 1869, A. tarsalis Pascoe, 1866, A. tyrrhenus Pascoe, 1870, and A. variolaris Pascoe, 1870. These taxa are redescribed and illustrated. The type of Helops aeneus Olivier, 1795, which in Gebien's Catalogue of Tenebrionidae (1943) is taken for a synonym of Amarygmus morio (Fabricius, 1775), could not be located. Because it is not clear from Olivier's description whether he is describing a new species, Helops aeneus is considered as taxon dubium. Because the type of Amarygmus carbonarius (Hope, 1845) could not be found, and Hope's description is insufficient for recognition, this taxon is also considered a taxon dubium. The following conclusions and taxonomic changes have to be noted: Amarygmus micans (Fabricius, 1794) = Amarygmus apicalis Pic, 1915 [syn. nov.]; Amarygmus cuprarius (Weber, 1801) = Amarygmus laosensis Pic, 1922 [syn. nov.]; Amarygmus cuprarius (Weber, 1801) subspec. andamansis Pic, 1951 = Amarygmus andamansis Pic, 1951 [stat. nov.]; Amarygmus picitarsis (Fairmaire, 1882) = Amarygmus inadai Masumoto et Akida, 2001 [syn. nov.]. A lectotype and one paralectotype of Chrysomela micans Fabricius, 1794 (they belong to different species), a lectotype and a paralectotype of Helops cuprarius Weber, 1801, and a lectotype and two paralectotyes of Cnodalon aeneum Wiedemann, 1823 have been labeled. Amarygmus watti, spec. nov. [nec Amarygmus tristis (Fabricius, 1798)] is described and illustrated (New South Wales, Queensland; New Zealand).
