Hlaváč, P. 2005. Contribution to the knowledge of the genus Pseudamaurops (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae: Pselaphinae), with description of three new species from Albania and northern Greece. Entomol. Probl. 35(1): 1-4.

Three new species of Pseudamaurops Jeannel (P. brachati sp.nov., P. graecus sp.nov. and P. transversalis sp.nov.) from Albania and northern Greece are described and illustrated. The aedeagus of P. mulleriana (Ravasini) is illustrated for the first time. A revised key and a map of distribution of all known species of Pseudamaurops is provided. top.gif



Jäch, M.A. & Prokin, A.A. 2005. Faunistic notes on the Hydraenidae, Elmidae, and Dryopidae of the Middle Russian Forest-Steppe Zone (Coleoptera). Entomol. Probl. 35(1): 5-10.

The Hydraenidae, Elmidae, and Dryopidae of the Middle Russian Forest-Steppe Zone are reviewed faunistically. The ocurrence of 11 species of Hydraenidae, five species of Elmidae, and five species of Dryopidae is confirmed herein. The ocurrence of two species of Hydraenidae, Limnebius truncatellus (Thunberg, 1794) and Ochthebius (s.str.) pusillus Stephens, 1835, which were recorded from the Middle Russian Forest-Steppe Zone by Kharin (1928), could not be confirmed by the present study. top.gif



Čiampor Jr., F. 2005. Systematic revision of the genus Graphelmis (Coleoptera: Elmidae) VI. Graphelmis marshalli species group. Entomol. Probl. 35(1): 11-38.

The sixth new species group Graphelmis marshalli is designated within the genus Graphelmis Deléve, 1968, comprising six known and ten new species: G. bouchardi (Grouvelle, 1896), G. consobrina Deléve, 1968, G. dentipes sp.nov., G. elegans sp.nov., G. fuscicornis sp.nov., G. grouvellei Deléve, 1970, G. schoedli sp.nov., G. malickyi sp.nov., G. marshalli (Hinton, 1936), G. monticola (Grouvelle, 1896), G. nitida sp.nov., G. quadrimaculata sp.nov., G. robusta sp.nov., G. elisabethjaechae sp.nov, G. valida Deléve, 1970, G. vietnamensis sp.nov. Habitus and detail drawings of characteristic structures of genitalia and pregenital segments of males are given. top.gif



Gumovsky, A. & Bouček, Z. 2005. A new genus of Entedoninae from Malaysia, associated with ant nests (Hymenoptera, Eulophidae). Entomol. Probl. 35(1): 39-42.

A new genus of Entedoninae (Hymenoptera, Chalcidoidea), Myrmobomyia gen.nov; is described from Malaysia. The new genus is distinguishable by the peculiar habitus (wide head, antennae placed below eye level, robust mesosoma, but pronotum strongly reduced, complete notauli, petiolate gaster, etc.) combining habitual elements of Myrmokata, Pediobomyia and Ambocybe. The diagnostic characters of the genus are: the narrowed lower face, the angulate frontal sulcus, the missing scrobal grooves, the convex clypeal area, the presence of the tentorial pits, the reduced mandibles, the complete notauli, the sharp occipital margin, several pairs of setae at scutellum, and the propleurae weakly bending the anterior margin of the lateral panel of pronotum. The type species M. malayana gen.nov., sp.nov. is associated with nests of Dolichoderus ants (Hymenoptera, Formicidae). top.gif



Lackner, T. 2005. Dendrophilus (s.str.) tubercularis, a new species of the genus Dendrophilus from the Palearctic region (Coleoptera: Histeridae). Entomol. Probl. 35(1): 43-45.

Dendrophilus (s.str.) tubercularis, sp. nov., from Tunisia is described and compared to the similar species D. (s.str.) xavieri Marseul. A Key to the Palearctic species is given. top.gif



Cassola, F. & Jaskula, R. 2005. Notes on the tiger beetle fauna of Cameroon (Coleoptera: Cicindelidae). Entomol. Probl. 35(1): 47-50.

Notes on the tiger beetle fauna of Cameroon are given. Forty-six species are presently known from this African country, whose full updated checklist is given in Table I. A subspecies of Megacephala denticollis Chaudoir (ssp. semilevis W. Horn, 1913) is recorded for the first time from this country. top.gif



Assing, V. 2005. A revision of Othiini. XIV. New species, new synonyms, and new records (Insecta: Coleoptera: Staphylinidae). Entomol. Probl. 35(1): 51-67.

An examination of previously unrevised material of Othiini yielded additional records of 34 species. Four species are (re-)described and illustrated: O. rudis Zheng, O. quadratus Zheng, O. mirus sp.nov. (China: Emei Shan), and O. furcillatus sp.nov. (China: N-Yunnan). The male sexual characters of O. tuberipennis Assing are characterised and figured for the first time. The following synonymies are established: Othius punctatus Bernhauer, 1922 = O. goui Zheng, 1995, syn. n.; O. punctulatus (Goeze, 1777) = O. scoticus Stephens, 1833, syn. n. The Palaearctic genus Othius Stephens now includes 115 valid species and subspecies. The distributions of Othius piceus Scriba, O. laeviusculus Stephens, O. subuliformis Stephens, and O. wunderlei Assing are mapped. top.gif



Verves, Y.G. 2005. A check-list of the Ukrainian Rhinophoridae (Diptera). Entomol. Probl. 35(1): 69-74.

The faunistic data of the results of collecting of rhinophorids in different regions of Ukraine are presented. From 14 known species one (Oplisa oldenbergi) firstly recorded for Ukraine, two species - bfor Zaporizzhya region, a single species - for Cherkasy, Chernivtzy, Chernigiv, Dnipropetrovs'k, Ivano-Frankivs'k, Kherson, Kyiv, Mykolayiv regions and Krym Republic (= Crimea). The original data on station distribution and food plants of rhinophorids are presented too. top.gif
