A new subgenus and new species of Parathlibops, with notes on morphology and taxonomy of Scapterina (Coleoptera: Carabidae: Scaritini)

摘要

Seven new species of the genus Par-athlibops Basilewsky, 1958, P. (s.str.) nepaleiisis sp.n. from Nepal, P. (s.str.) alveolatus sp.n. and P. (s.str.) cavipennis sp.n. from Laos, P. (s.str.) abramovi sp.n. and P. (s.str.) cylindronotiis sp.n. from Vietnam, P. (s.str.) punctipennis sp.n. from the Philippines, and P. (Scapterotlibops subg.n.) bidirschi sp.n. from southern India, are described. The genus is redescribed and key to its species provided. Relationships between Par-athlibops and other membersof the subtribe Scapterina Putzeys, 1866, as well as between Scapterina and other Scaritini, are discussed based on comparative morphology. Oxylobina Andrewes, 1929, syn.n., and Acanthoscelitina Csiki, 1927, syn.n., are synonymized with Scapterina. Themonobasic tribe Corintascarini Basilewsky, 1973 is reinstated from synonyms of Scaritina.
