Three new species of Omalodes (Omalodes) (Histeridae, Histerinae) from South America

چکیده
Three new species of Omalodes are described from South America, including descriptions of male and female genitalia. Omalodes (Omalodes) mazuri sp. n. is described from Peru and Bolivia; Omalodes (Omalodes) punctulatus sp. n. from Brazil, and Omalodes (Omalodes) rivus sp. n. from Bolivia and Brazil. This is the first paper with detailed information on the male and female genitalia of the genus, showing a great degree of variation to characterize different species. All three new species can be easily distinguished from other known Omalodes and from each other, on the basis of morphology and male genitalia pattern.

New species of Omalodes and redefinition of the tribe Omalodini (Coleoptera: Histeridae: Histerinae).
A new species of Omalodini, Omalodes atacamanus sp. nov., is described from Chile. A redefinition of Omalodini is proposed and an identification key to the genera is provided. The new species can be distinguished from other species of Omalodes mainly by all tibiae having a row of setae on outer submarginal region. Omalodini sensu nov. is herein restricted to a lineage of Ebonius Lewis, 1885 and...

We revise the four species of Kaszabister Mazur, 1972, one of which, Kaszabister barrigaisp. n., is described as new. The other species in the genus are Kaszabister rubellus (Erichson, 1834), Kaszabister ferrugineus (Kirsch, 1873) and Kaszabister carinatus (Lewis, 1888). The species are principally known from the subtropics of South America, with one in Central America. Lectotypes are designate...

Nucleotide sequences from 16S rRNA and cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) were used to examine phylogenetic relationships and evolution of beetles from the tribe Hololeptini (Coleoptera: Histeridae: Histerinae) that inhabit necrotic tissue of columnar cacti in the Sonoran Desert. Phylogenetic and morphological analyses revealed the presence of seven separate lineages, three representing speci...
