di

P. MAGRINI, A. PETRIOLI, A. BENELLI & A. DEGIOVANNI

Abstract - A new endogean Duvalius from Sicily of the "siculus group" (Coleoptera, Carabidae, Trechinae) - A new endogean Duvalius from W Sicily of the "siculus group" (sensu MAGRINI, 1997-1998) is described. It is close to Duvalius marii Vanni, Magrini & Pennisi, 1992 from the Ficuzza Wood (Palermo) for the resemblance of their copulatory lamellae, though their structures are clearly different, as different are their aedeagus and habitus. The new species is the southernmost Sicilian Duvalius.

RICCARDO MONGUZZI

Abstract - Descriptions of two new hypogean Trechini and finding of Boldoriella tedeschii Sciaky, 1977 in the Varese Pre-Alps (Coleoptera, Carabidae, Trechinae) - The Author reports the unexpected results of personal researches on the hypogean coleopterological fauna (more precisely the Carabidae Trechinae) of the Varese Pre-Alps, a small alpine area traditionally wrongly considered nearly lacking in this faunistic component, if we except Duvalius ghidinii (Gestro, 1909). The interesting data are as follows: 1) new findings and a synthesis of the actual knowledges on Duvalius ghidinii; 2) a taxonomical revaluation and the recognition of the subspecies rank to the only population of Duvalius ghidinii found outside Mount Campo dei Fiori (D. ghidinii martinensis n. subsp.); 3) the discovery of the genus Boldoriella Jeannel, 1928 in the eastern Varese Pre-Alps for the presence of B. (Insubrites) tedeschii Sciaky, 1977, previously known only from the Como Pre-Alps; 4) the description of a new species of Boldoriella, very differentiated even from B. tedeschii, collected further West in the western Varese Pre-Alps: Boldoriella (Insubrites) verbanensis n. sp.

P. MAGRINI & L. FANCELLO

Abstract - A new Dimorphoreicheia Magrini, Fancello & Leo, 2002 from Central-West Sardinia (Coleoptera, Carabidae, Scaritinae) - A new taxon - Dimorphoreicheia quadrisetosa n. sp. - is described from Mount Monti Ferru (Cuglieri, Oristano), the type locality of the syntopic Typhloreicheia jucunda (Holdhaus, 1924). The new species, small and slender, looks like the geographically distant Dimorphoreicheia relicta Magrini, 2004 from Mount Gonare (Nuoro), rather than the closer Dimorphoreicheia vannii Magrini, Fancello & Leo, 2002 from Sedilo (Oristano). It is easy to differentiate the new species from the other two already known of the genus, on the basis of the characters of the aedeagus, and the number of bristles on the pronotal disc: four instead of two; further, the pronotum is much wider at base. A key to the three species of the genus is present.

di

P. MAGRINI & A. DEGIOVANNI

Abstract - A new Otiorhynchus (Lixorrhynchus) Reitter, 1914 from Mount Terminillo (Latium) (Coleoptera, Curculionoidea) - A new species of the subgenus Lixorrhynchus of Otiorhynchus is described from the top of Mount Terminillo (Italy, Latium, Rieti): it is the 44th taxon of the subgenus known so far from Corsica and Italy. The new species can be morphologically compared just with the two geographically closest species: O. (L.) sabinus Magrini, Meoli & Abbazzi, 2005 from Moggio (Contigliano, Rieti) and O. (L.) aquilanus (Osella, 1976) from Sella di Corno (L’Aquila). It is easily distinguished from the former for its vestigial eyes (instead of being anophthalmous), the metafemora and metatibiae much shorter, and larger at base, the rostrum on dorsum widely concave instead of convex, the shorter elytral pubescence, the slenderer pronotum, much less globe-shaped and with closer fossulae. From the latter for the head, rostrum and antennae much longer, smaller eyes, narrower scrobes, less globe-shaped and slenderer pronotum [PMW/PL ratio = 0.98, instead of 1.03], shorter [EL/EW ratio = 1.85, instead of 1.90]and pointed at tip elytra, the same widest at middle (before middle in aquilanus). More marked the differences from the geographically farther species. Updated measurements for the holotype of O. (L.) sabinus are also reported.

RICCARDO MONGUZZI

Abstract - New or little known species of Pselaphinae from the Venetian and Lombard Pre-Alps (Coleoptera Staphylinidae) - The Author reports the results of long personal researches on the hypogean fauna of the Venetian and Lombard Pre-Alps, which also led to the identification of two new microphthalmic species of the genus Bryaxis Kugelann, 1794, here described: B. trezzii n. sp. from Grotta [Cave] dell’Arena (Lessini Mountains near Verona) and B. chiarae n. sp. from Mount Torrezzo (Pre-Alps near Bergamo). Besides, a new group of species (named “the emilianus group”), to which also B. chiarae belongs, is here defined. Finally, new data on the geographical distribution of Bryaxis pavani (Tamanini) and Tychobythinus rosai Besuchet are given. A series of drawings of morphological characteristics and distributional maps complete the work.

GIULIANO TREZZI

Abstract - Trechisibus zorgatii, new trechine species from Tierra del Fuego (Coleoptera, Carabidae, Trechinae) - Trechisibus zorgatii, new trechine species, is described from the Argentinian Tierra del Fuego, from Hushuaia, Martial Glacier (550 m a.s.l.). It is recognizable from the related species through its morphology, chaetotaxy and male genitalia. Some characters would allow the creation of a new “group of species” for it.

Note tassonomiche su alcuni

Trechus italiani del “gruppo subnotatus” (sensu JEANNEL, 1927), con rivalutazione di un taxon

e una nuova sinonimia

(Coleoptera, Carabidae, Trechinae)

di

A. DEGIOVANNI & P. MAGRINI

Abstract - Taxonomic notes on some Italian Trechus of the subnotatus group (sensu Jeannel, 1927), with a taxon revalued and a new synonymy (Coleoptera, Carabidae, Trechinae) - In the present note, the systematic value of some Trechus of the subnotatus group (sensu JEANNEL, 1927) present in Italy, Switzerland and South France is considered. T. raymondi Pandellé, 1867 and T. binotatus Putzeys, 1870 have been treated up to now as synonyms of T. fairmairei Pandellé, 1867: the synonymy of T. raymondi with T. fairmairei is confirmed, while T. binotatus is considered of species rank, on the basis of morphological characters regarding the male genitalia, especially. The study has been complicated by the fact that the types of the three cited taxa are not traceable in their respective depository collections in Paris and Bruxelles: the types are considered lost. Hence, two the neotypes here designated, one for T. fairmairei, and one for T. binotatus. T. fairmairei is a species distributed in SE France and SW Italy, while T. binotatus range involves most part of N & C Italy and Canton Ticino in Switzerland. The two species are strictly vicariant. Trechus kahleni Donabauer & Lebenbauer, 2003 is considered a junior synonym of Trechus binotatus Putzeys, 1870, for the inconsistence of the distinctive diagnostic characters.

Abstract - A new Typhloreicheia Holdhaus, 1924 from Barbagia Seulo (Sardinia) (Cole-optera, Carabidae, Scaritinae) - A new Sardinian taxon - Typhloreicheia musimon n. sp. - from a cave in Barbagia Seulo, Seui (Ogliastra), is herein described and illustrated. The new species is close to T. casalei Magrini, Marcia & Onnis, 2011, from the cave “Buco sotto la Punta Zippiri, N° 2649 Sa/NU”, mainly for the aedeagus' shape, but it is easily distinguished from it for several and evident characteristics, i.e. minor size, different shape of the copulatory lamella, of the dorsal margin of the aedeagus and the same in ventral view, the female styli. A new group of species, namely, the "pandora Group", from central-eastern Sardinia is here proposed.

by

A. BORDONI & P. MAGRINI

Abstract - A new Italian species of anophthalmous Lathrobium is described and illustrated: Lathrobium colacurcioi sp. n. from Castel d'Aiano (Bologna) and Monte Paolo (Ravenna). The new species differs from the similar Lathrobium maginii Bordoni, 1972 from Mugello (Tuscany) by external characters (larger body and different punctation), and by the large aedeagus, with different apex of dorsal and ventral laminae and by the structure of the inner sac. The new species occurs on the Adriatic slopes of the Apennines, while Lathrobium maginii is found on the Tyrrhenian slopes of the same. A new record, the first since the description of the species, for Lathrobium garioi Bordoni, 1984 is given.

LUCA BARTOLOZZI

Abstract - Heterorrhynchus eyloni n. sp. from Vietnam is described based on a single male specimen. The new taxon is closely related to Heterorrhynchus ornatus Calabresi, 1921 from Borneo, but can be distinguished by the upper side of the male prorostrum which is enlarged basally instead of having parallel sides; by the anterior coxae slightly pubescent, instead of strongly pilose; by the articles 2 and 3 of the antennae not hollowed-out inferiorly; by the different disposition of the elytral yellow marks. The new species is illustrated and a key is given to separate the two species of the genus.

di

VITTORINO MONZINI

Abstract - A new species of Stomis Clairville from Berici Hills (Vicenza) and observations on Stomis rostratus (Sturm in DUFTSCHMID, 1812) (Coleoptera, Carabidae) - The author describes a new species of Stomis Clairville, 1806 from Berici Hills in Vicenza province (NE Italy). The new species can be attributed to the S. rostratus group, for the transverse constriction on the head behind eyes, and the combination of peculiar characters both external and of the aedeagus. The new taxon is particularly close to the species rostratus (Sturm in DUFTSCHMID, 1812), for the sparse dorsal pubescence of tarsi from the second segment on, and for the particular shape of the apex of the median lobe of the aedeagus. It clearly differs from S. rostratus for the more elongate and thinner apical blade of the aedeagus with much larger terminal disk, besides other external features. Moreover, the author examined many specimens of S. rostratus rostratus from Austria and Slovenia, and stresses their differences from the western subspecies from Veneto and Lombardy in Italy.
