New Species and Records of the Genus Basanus LACORDAIRE (Coleoptera, Tenebrionidae), part 2

摘要

Newly collected specimens of the genus Basanus LACORDAIRE, 1859 from southeastern Asia are presented including new species (Basanus becvari n. sp. from W Malaysia, Basanus brendelli n. sp. from Borneo, Basanus erberi n. sp. from Sumatra), new interpretations of older taxa (Basanus annamitus GEBIEN, 1925 n. stat.), and new distributional data of some species. The shape of the aedeagus is quite simple and similar in all species and not useful for morphological diagnosis. However, the constant dorsal colour pattern, the body size and shape, as well as the extent of the dorsal punctation are considered as species characters. A species-list of the genus is compiled (26 species and 7 doubtful taxa).
