New data on the fauna and systematics of Palaearctic species of the click-beetle subfamily Agrypninae Candèze, 1857 (Coleoptera, Elateridae)

摘要

AbstractNew data on the distribution and taxonomy of some Palaearctic species of click-beetles of the subfamily Agrypninae are given. The external morphology and genitalia of the previously unknown females ofCompsolacon korotjaeviGur. andC. agrestis(Vats et Kash.)comb. n.are described. Several taxa are recorded from the following territories for the first time: the genusEumoeusCand. from the Palaearctic Region, the speciesCompsolacon agrestiscomb. n.andC. himalayanusJag. from Afghanistan,Compsolacon turkestanicus(Schw.) from Kyrgyzstan and Afghanistan,Danosoma conspersum(Gyll.) from Kazakhstan, Lacon quadrinodatus Lew. from Russia, andL. unicolor(Cand.) from Iraq. Several Northern Indian species ofAgrypnusEsch. are transferred toCompsolaconRtt., and their systematic positions are briefly discussed:C. agrestis,C. inlustris(Vats et Kash.),C. jacksoni(Vats et Kash.),C. kuluensis(Vats et Kash.),C. maisus(Vats et Kash.),C. planocorpus(Vats et Kash.),C. rameshi(Vats et Kash.),C. repercussus(Vats et Kash.),C. solanensis(Vats et Kash.),C. souslapisus(Vats et Kash.),C. subargillus(Vats et Kash.),C. subfaenum(Vats et Kash.) andC. sublapideus(Vats et Kash.) (allcomb. n.). The following new combinations are also established: Compsolacon aequalis (Cand.)comb. n.and Compsolacon brachychaetus (Kollar)comb. n.(both ex Lacon). The following new synonymies are established: Lacon funebris (Sols.) =Adelocera griseaSchw.,syn. n.; =Adelocera incomptaKr.,syn. n.; Eumoeus murrayi Cand. =Tetralobus quadrifoveatusVats et Kash.,syn. n.]]>
