TWO NEW SPECIES OF THE GENUS LIOPTERA CHAUDOIR (COLEOPTERA: CARABIDAE: LEBIINAE) FROM THE PAPUAN AND SOUTHERN ORIENTAL REGIONS

摘要

Two species of Lioptera Chaudoir are described: L. storeyi sp. n. from Papua New Guinea and the island of Halmahera, and L. riedeli sp. n. from Sulawesi. Both are closely related inter se, but they differ in shape of the elytral spots and density of punctation and microreticulation; and both are distinguished from the related L. louwerensi Andrewes from Sulawesi by the anterior elytral spot no( reaching the base of the elytra. A new key to all species of Lioptera is provided.
