On the genus Tetartopeus Czwalina, 1888 of Turkey. A new species and additional records (Coleóptera: Staphylinidae: Paederinae)

摘要

Tetartopeus tezcani sp. n. from Anatolia, Turkey, is described, illustrated and distinguished from related congeners. Tetartopeus persicus Coiffait is reported from Turkey for the first time. A key to the Turkish species of Tetartopeus is presented. In the Palaearctic region, the genus Tetartopeus Czwalina, 1888 is represented by 28 species, three of which occur in Turkey: T. adanensis Assing, 2004 from Adana and Osmaniye provinces, T. czwalinai (Jakobson, 1909) from Izmir province, and T. sty lifer(Reitter, 1909) from Erzurum province (Coiffait 1982; Smetana 2004; Assing 2004, 2007a). Presence of two additional species in Turkey requires confirmation. Coiffait (1982) reported T. rufonitidus (Reitter, 1909) (as T. confusus Coiffait, 1972) from AsiaMinor, but without specification of locality. Also, T. scutellaris (Nordmann, 1837) has been recorded from Adana province by E. Lokay (Horion 1965). However, since Lokay did not examine the genitalia, his record of T. scutellaris is most likely based ona misidentification and probably refers to one of the other red-winged species known from Turkey (Assing, personal communication).
