Gerstmeier, R., 2002. Generic concept of clerid taxa related to Clerus (Coleoptera: Cleridae: Clerinae). Entomol. Probl. 32(2): 99-111.

The preliminary generic conception of genera related to the genus Clerus Geoffroy, 1762, yields a so-called Clerus series, which comprises three generic groups: Thanasimus group, Stigmatium group, and Omadius group. For defining generic groups and/or generic rank I relied mainly on structural differences of antennae. A new genus Falsomadius gen.nov. is described. The following new synonyms, new combinations and new statuses are established: Cyclotomocerus Kuwert, 1894, Dasyceroclerus Kuwert, 1894, Microastigmus Pic, 1938, Phaeocyclotomus Kuwert, 1894, Rhytidoclerus Kuwert, 1894 and Xestoclerus Chapin, 1924 are synonymous with Stigmatium Gray, 1832. Astigmus Kuwert, 1894 is in part synonymous with Operculiphorus Kuwert, 1894: Operculiphorus nebulosus (Spinola, 1844) = Astigmus (Omadius) nebulosus (Spinola, 1844), comb.nov. Several Stigmatium species are synonymous with Clerus Geoffroy, 1762: Clerus bimaculatus (Blackburn, 1897) = Stigmatium bimaculatum Blackburn, 1897, comb.nov., Clerus gilberti (White, 1849) = Stigmatium gilberti White, 1849, comb.nov., Clerus mutillaecolor (White, 1849) = Stigmatium mutillaecolor White, 1849, comb.nov., Clerus philippinarus (Gorham, 1876) = Stigmatium philippinarum Gorham, 1876, comb.nov., Clerus pilosellus (Gorham, 1878) = Stigmatium pilosellum Gorham, 1876, comb.nov. Pyrrhostigmatium Kraatz, 1899 is resurrected as a genus. Some Omadius species are synonymous with Falsomadius: Falsomadius aurulentus (Heller, 1921) = Omadius aurulentus Heller, 1921, comb.nov., Falsomadius dohertyi (Kuwert, 1894) = Omadius dohertyi Kuwert, 1894, comb.nov., Falsomadius nitidus (Schenkling, 1898) = Omadius nitidus Schenkling, 1898, comb.nov., Falsomadius prioceroides (Thomson, 1860) = Omadius prioceroides Thomson, 1860, comb.nov. Two Omadius species are synonymous with Corynommadius Schenkling, 1899: Corynommadius bennigseni (Schenkling, 1912) = Omadius bennigseni Schenkling, 1912 comb.nov., Corynommadius brunneus (Chapin, 1924) = Omadius brunneus Chapin, 1924 comb.nov.

Holuša, J. 2002. Seasonal flight activity of Pristiphora decipiens, Pristiphora leucopodia and Sharliphora nigella (Hymenoptera: Tenthredinidae) in the eastern part of the Czech Republic. Entomol. Probl. 32(2): 112.

The flight periods of Pristiphora decipiens, Pristiphora leucopodia and Sharliphora nigella were studied using Malaise traps as well as yellow sticky boards situated in young spruce forests in the eastern part of the Czech Republic in 1998–2000. Flight period of Pristiphora decipiens males lasted from the end of April to the middle of May with the peak of activity in the first decade of May. Flight period of Pristiphora leucopodia males lasted from the end of April to the second half of May with the peak of activity in the first half of May. Flight period of Sharliphora nigella started in the middle of April and ended in the middle of May in males or at the end in females. The peak of activity occurred at the end of April in males or in the first half of May in females.

Schillhammer, H., 2002. Studies on the genera Pammegus and Bombylodes (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae). Entomol. Probl. 32(2): 113-128.

The paper presents a first attempt at a revision of the genera Pammegus Fauvel and Bombylodes Fauvel. Eight new species are described: Pammegus balkei (Singapore), P. deceptivus (India), P. kachin (Myanmar), P. kinabalu (Malaysia: Sabah), P. minutus (Brunei), P. lateralis (India), P. shibatai (Taiwan) and P. siamensis (Thailand). Bombylodes mimeticus Fauvel is redescribed. The aedeagi of all species represented by males, as well as the aedeagi of all unnamed male specimens, are illustrated. Color photographs are provided for four representative species.

Batristilbus monstrotibialis sp.nov. from north-eastern China is described, illustrated and compared with related species; and a key of all known species is provided.

Solodovnikov, A. & Štourač, P., 2002. Redescription, new synonym, and revised distribution of Quedius (Raphirus) kirklarensis from northern Anatolia (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae: Staphylininae). Entomol. Probl. 32(2): 133-137.

A redescription, distribution and bionomic data are provided for Quedius kirklarensis Korge, 1971. A new synonym, Quedius drannazensis Coiffait, 1978 is established for this species. A significant variability of the number and arrangement of the sensory peg setae of the paramere is observed in Q. kirklarensis. Considering the common usage of this genital character for species level diagnostics and species group division of Quedius (in the influential monograph of Coiffait 1978a), this particular case of considerable infraspecific variability is discussed.

The genus Chorisoserrata Roth, 1998 contained up to now only two species, Ch. apicalis Hanitsch from Sumatra and Ch. sagittaria Hanitsch (only male known) from Vietnam and East Borneo. The male and female of third species Chorisoserrata jendeki from Laos are described here. Unlike Ch. sagittaria the male of Ch. jendeki have developed tergal gland on abdominal tergum 7. The key of the genus Chorisoserrata is presented.

The new species group Graphelmis bandukanensis is designated within the genus Graphelmis Deleve, 1968, comprising six new species: G. bandukanensis sp.nov., G. punggulensis sp.nov., G. minuta sp.nov., G. berbulu sp.nov from Malaysia, G. dembickyi sp.nov. from Philippines and G. sulawesiensis sp.nov. from Indonesia. The habitus and detail drawings of characteristic structures of genitalia and pregenital segments are given.

Uralohelmis Roubal, 1940 (Coleoptera: Elmidae) is synonymized with Macrelmis Motschulsky, 1859. A lectotype is designated for Uralohelmis jureceki Roubal, 1940. Uralohelmis jureceki is transferred to Macrelmis. The provenance of the types of Uralohelmis jureceki is regarded as doubtful; it is believed that the type specimens were in fact collected in the New World and mislabelled.

In summer 1998 and 1999, during daily marking of 50–350 individual Carabids [mostly Pseudoophonus rufipes ( De Geer, 1774)], a sudden strong heating of the ventral body part followed by the secretion of an acidic defensive secretion was observed in some P. rufipes in the hot evenings (about 26–28 °C). This reaction resembled the defence reaction in the bombardier beetles, especially Pheropsophus spp. The repeated exposure of the fingertips to the secretion of P. rufipes provoked an erythema, followed by dotted hemorrhages, developing later to spongiotic edema and resulting in the formation of flat intraepidermal vesicles. Finally, the upper necrotized and keratinized layer sloughed off the bottom of former vesicles and, due to previous hemorrhages, it was occasionally coloured by dark brown spots with yellow edges. The lesions, resembling reactive spongiform dermatitis, healed within 7–10 days by a transient hyperkeratotic response.
