Revision of the Malagasy genus Lechius Iwan, 1995 (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae: Pedinini)
نویسنده
چکیده
The taxonomic concept of the genus Lechius Iwan, 1995 and the hypotheses of all its species, are tested basing on newly available material from Madagascar. Comparative analysis showed that the male and female genitalia most apparently reflect the evolutionary trends within this genus. Two new Lechius species are described: L. aalbui sp. nov. and Lechius longiclavis sp. nov. A distributional map is presented with complete faunistic data on the genus. An identification key is provided to all known species of Lechius.
