A REVIEW OF THE GENUS METANOEUS FROM THE PHILIPPINES (COLEOPTERA: LYCIDAE)

摘要

A review of the Philippine species of the net-winged beetle Metanoeus Waterhouse, 1879, is presented. Redescriptions of three previously described species, M. bakeri Kleine, 1926, M. dohertyi Pic, 1925 and M. cognatus Kleine, 1926, are provided and five new species are described: Metanoeus salvani, new species, M. parallelus, new species, M. ellipticus, new species, M. matsudai, new species, and M. luzonensis, new species. An identification key to males from the Philippines is presented along with illustrations of the principal diagnostic characters. Altogether, 29 species of Metanoeus occur in the eastern part of the Oriental region and the Philippine fauna represented by eight species is supposed to be a result of dispersal from Sundaland.
