Ditomus cephalotes Dejean, 1826: 482. The specimen hereby recognized as holotype is a male bearing the labels: “ cephalotes m.”, “ Tanger. B. Jenisson ”, “ex-Museo Chaudoir” and “ Holotype of Ditomus cephalotes Dejean, 1826 desig. by J. Serrano ”. Thus, labels match the description: Il se trouve sur la côte de Barbarie, et il m’a été donné par M. le comte de Jenisson comme venant des environs de Tanger. Since this was the sole specimen found in Dejean’s collection at Paris with the original labels, the specimen is recognized as the holotype by monotypy. The species may be easily identified following the keys of Fuente (1927) and Antoine (1959). The taxonomic placement and limits of the genus Odontocarus has been subjected to many controversies (see Wrase, 1994), but nowadays is currently ranked as an independent genus; it includes seven species with a Centro Asiatic Mediterranean distribution pattern (Kataev & Wrase, 2017b). Odontocarus cephalotes (Dejean, 1826) is the single species of the genus inhabiting the West Mediterranean., Published as part of Serrano, José, 2022, Designation of types of European Harpalini (Coleoptera: Carabidae) described by Dejean and deposited in the MNHN, Paris, pp. 484-500 in Zootaxa 5141 (5) on page 487, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5141.5.4, http://zenodo.org/record/6593146, {"references":["Dejean, P.

Harpalus (Ophonus) hirsutulus Dejean, 1829: 226. The specimen here designated as lectotype is a female bearing the labels: “female symbol”, “ hirsutulus Stév. in Rus. mer. Caucase”, “Steven.” and “ Lectotype of Harpalus (Ophonus) hirsutulus Dejean, 1829 desig. by J. Serrano ”. Dejean (1829) described this species based on four specimens: Je possède quatre individus de cette espèce: le premier m’a été envoyé par M. Stéven, comme venant du Caucase.... The first mentioned is hereby designed as the lectotype. The species is currently named as Parophonus (Ophonomimus) hirsutulus (Dejean, 1829). Schauberger (1923: 72) created the subgenus Ophonomimus to include only this species according to the lack of pubescence in the paraglossa, mentum without median tooth, pronotum not emarginate posteriorly, etc. Then, Schauberger (1933) considered P. interstitialis Reitter, 1899 as a valid species and also included it within Ophonomimus. Keys to identify the species are found in Jeannel (1942), Sciaky (1992) and Wrase (2004, 2011). The species is distributed in Central Europe, the Mediterranean Basin, Central Asia and Uzbekistan (Kataev & Wrase, 2017c)., Published as part of Serrano, José, 2022, Designation of types of European Harpalini (Coleoptera: Carabidae) described by Dejean and deposited in the MNHN, Paris, pp. 484-500 in Zootaxa 5141 (5) on page 494, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5141.5.4, http://zenodo.org/record/6593146, {"references":["Dejean, P.

Harpalus goudotii Dejean, 1829: 304. The lectotype (present designation; recognized, but not published by B. Kataev) is a male, labelled: “Goudot? Barbaria”, blue card “Goudot”, “ Harpalus goudotii Dejean, 1829 desig. por J. Serrano”, “Lectoype” and “ H. sulphuripes goudotii Dejean det. B. Kataev 2002 ”. Dejean (1829) studied four beetles as stated in the description: Je possède quatre individus mâles de cette espèce: deux ont été rapportés de Tanger par M. Goudot; le troisième a été pris dans le département des Basses – Alpes... This taxon is considered a subspecies of Harpalus sulphuripes Germar, 1824, mostly on the basis of having red-coloured femora (instead of darkened) and the geographic disjunction: the nominal subspecies inhabits Central and Mediterranean Europe whereas H. sulphuripes goudotii inhabits the Maghreb, Andalusia and Sardegna (Kataev & Wrase, 2017c). The mention of Dejean of a beetle of this subspecies inhabiting the Basses Alpes is likely erroneous on geographic grounds, and also when considering the fact that mutations on femur colour may occur (ab. lucidipennis Schauberger, 1934). The aedeagus of the lectotype matches that illustrated by Antoine (1959) (that illustrated by Jeannel, 1942, page 676 was erroneous according to Antoine, 1959: page 406). I could not find other beetles of this subspecies in Dejean’s collection to compare more aedeagi. Different authors have dealt with this species (Fuente, 1927; Antoine 1959; Jeannel, 1942; Wrase, 2004, 2011)., Published as part of Serrano, José, 2022, Designation of types of European Harpalini (Coleoptera: Carabidae) described by Dejean and deposited in the MNHN, Paris, pp. 484-500 in Zootaxa 5141 (5) on page 491, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5141.5.4, http://zenodo.org/record/6593146, {"references":["Dejean, P.

Harpalus pumilus Dejean 1829: 305. The specimen here designated as lectotype is a male bearing the labels “ pumilus m. in Gallia mer.”, “ tibialis St. Ilyrion?” and “ Lectotype of Harpalus pumilus Dejean, 1829 desig. by J. Serrano ”. The individual I hereby design as lectotype has labels with the original writing of Dejean stating “Gallia mer”. I saw a second specimen with a card attached to the pin stating “TYPE”, but without any original label hand-written by Dejean, and there was no statement of authorship of designation. H. pumilus Dejean, 1829 (not H. pumilus Sturm, 1818) is currently considered a synonym of H. subcylindricus Dejean, 1829 (Kataev, 1989; Marggi et al., 2010; Kataev & Wrase 2017c). Although Dejean described first H. pumilus, this name entered in homonym with H. pumilus Sturm, 1818. As I did not dissect the aedeagus of the type of I couldn’t compare it with the figures of H. subcylindricus published by Kataev (1989) or Marggi et al. (2010). However, the lectotype matches the characters nowadays considered as diagnostic for H. subcylindricus. A key to separate H. anxius (Duftschmid, 1812) and H. subcylindricus is found in Wrase (2004). This last species shows a Centro Asiatic European distribution pattern, from western China to the Iberian Peninsula., Published as part of Serrano, José, 2022, Designation of types of European Harpalini (Coleoptera: Carabidae) described by Dejean and deposited in the MNHN, Paris, pp. 484-500 in Zootaxa 5141 (5) on page 490, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5141.5.4, http://zenodo.org/record/6593146, {"references":["Dejean, P.

Acinopus giganteus Dejean, 1831: 813. The specimen here recognized as holotype is a male bearing the labels: “ giganteus Kollar in Hispania mer. in Cadix D”, “ex-Museo Chaudoir” and “ Holotype of Acinopus giganteus Dejean, 1831 desig. by J. Serrano ”. Acinopus giganteus is currently included in the subgenus Acinopus and differs from other related species in the lack of punctures in elytron intervals 5 and 7, the lack of ventral pubescence on male protarsomeres forming two rows, and its large body size. It is solely known from Andalusia (Serrano, 2020), south of River Guadalquivir.

Dejean (1829) could examine a number of beetles to describe the species. I have selected a male from Dalmatia that is well conserved and clearly shows the characters of main taxonomic interest: large body size, male protarsomeres notably dilated, antennomeres 1-2 pale, etc. (Jeannel, 1942; Wrase, 2004, 2011).

Harpalus (Ophonus) pumilio Dejean, 1829: 212. The specimen here recognized as holotype is a male bearing the labels: “ pumilio m. in Sicilia ”, “Schüppel.” and “ Holotype of Harpalus (Ophonus) pumilio Dejean, 1829. J. Serrano vidit.” Dejean (1829) wrote Je ne possède qu’un individu mâle de cette espèce; il m’a été envoyé par M. Schùppel, comme venant de Sicile. The species is currently known as Ophonus (Hesperophonus) pumilio, as it shows the key characters of subgenus Hesperophonus Antoine, 1959. It has a small body size and a combination of dorsal colouration and leg characters that make it easily identifiable (Fuente, 1927; Antoine, 1959; Sciaky, 1987).

Harpalus (Ophonus) quadricollis Dejean, 1831: 838. The holotype of the species is a female already recognized as such by Sciaky (1987). He probably pinned a red label stating Holotype in this specimen. Therefore, it presently bears the following labels: white labels “ quadricollis Dahl, in Sicilia alp. D.” “Dahl”, “ HOLOTYPE ”. I have added a white label “ Holotype of Harpalus (Ophonus) quadricollis Dejean, 1831, J. Serrano vidit”. Dejean (1829) wrote: Je ne possède qu’un individu femelle de cet insecte, qui m’a été envoyé par M. Dahl, sous le nom spécifique que je lui ai conservé, comme venant des montagnes de la Sicile .

Harpalus cupreu s Dejean, 1829: 281. The specimen here designated as lectotype is a male bearing the labels: “ cupreus m. in Dalmatia.” and “ Lectotype of Harpalus cupreus Dejean, 1829 desig. by J. Serrano ”. At present there are five subspecies within H. cupreus (Wrase, 2011). This lectotype likely corresponds to the subspecies Harpalus cupreus fastuosus Faldermann, 1836, distributed in Central and Eastern Europe, Anatolia and the Levant (Kataev & Wrase, 2017c). A probable relict population exists in Middle Atlas (H. cupreus asaphus Antoine, 1941). This European Mediterranean species may be distinguished from the related Harpalus reitteri Wrase et Kataev, 2011, distributed in the Balkans, following Wrase (2011)., Published as part of Serrano, José, 2022, Designation of types of European Harpalini (Coleoptera: Carabidae) described by Dejean and deposited in the MNHN, Paris, pp. 484-500 in Zootaxa 5141 (5) on page 488, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5141.5.4, http://zenodo.org/record/6593146, {"references":["Dejean, P.

Acupalpus exiguus Dejean, 1829: 456. The specimen here designated as lectotype is a female bearing a white label with “ exiguus mihi in Gallia merid.” (these words are followed by an illegible word) and a red label “ Lectotype of Acupalpus exiguus Dejean, 1829 desig. by J. Serrano”. The original material was diverse. Of these beetles I have selected that one collected in South France. It shows a dorsal dark colouration including the appendages, a rather small body size (2.7 mm), the pronotum with rounded posterior angles, etc. (Jeannel, 1942; Wrase, 2004, 2011). These characters separate this species from A. luteatus (Duftschmid, 1812) and A. dubius Schilsky, 1888. The species is found from West Siberia and Kazakhstan to West France (Jaeger & Kataev, 2017), as noted by Dejean (1829)., Published as part of Serrano, José, 2022, Designation of types of European Harpalini (Coleoptera: Carabidae) described by Dejean and deposited in the MNHN, Paris, pp. 484-500 in Zootaxa 5141 (5) on page 494, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5141.5.4, http://zenodo.org/record/6593146, {"references":["Dejean, P.

Harpalus lateralis Dejean, 1829: 278. The holotype is a male bearing the following labels: “male symbol”, “ lateralis m. in Hispania”, “ HOLOTYPE ”, “vidit 1974. Z. Mylnář det. 1974” and “ Holotype of Harpalus lateralis Dejean, 1829. J. Serrano vidit”. It was probably Mylnář who placed the label “ HOLOTYPE ”, as he examined types of Dejean’s collection (Mylnář, 1979). However, he did not publish any statement about the recognition of the holotype. Fuente (1927) and Antoine (1959) keyed the species. Kataev (1993) also included a detailed illustration of the aedeagus. The species is distributed in the Iberian Peninsula and Morocco., Published as part of Serrano, José, 2022, Designation of types of European Harpalini (Coleoptera: Carabidae) described by Dejean and deposited in the MNHN, Paris, pp. 484-500 in Zootaxa 5141 (5) on page 489, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5141.5.4, http://zenodo.org/record/6593146, {"references":["Dejean, P.

Harpalus (Ophonus) obsoletus Dejean, 1829: 232. The specimen here designated as lectotype is a male bearing labels “ obsoletus m. in Gallia merid.”, “ex-Museo Chaudoir” and “ Lectotype of Harpalus (Ophonus) obsoletus Dejean, 1829 desig. by J. Serrano ”. The lectotype shows a transverse pronotum slightly cordiform, with posterior angles of pronotum well marked but not protruding backwards, and the prosternum slightly punctured. These characters allow to distinguish this species from D. pallidus. In both species the dark spot of elytra is variable, from clearly marked to almost erased; this colour variation is perhaps related to life in salty places. For keys to the species see Fuente (1927), Jeannel (1942) and Wrase (2004, 2011).

Acupalpus nigriceps Dejean, 1829: 453. The specimen here designated as lectotype is a female bearing labels “ nigriceps m. in Gal. mer” and “ Lectotype of Acupalpus nigriceps Dejean, 1829 design. by J. Serrano ”. The name is currently considered a synonym of Acupalpus flavicollis (Sturm, 1825). The lectotype shows the characteristics of A. flavicollis (Sturm, 1825) concerning most key characters (e.g., lack of dorsal pore in the second half of third interval of elytron) although dorsal coloration is somewhat different. As in the case of A. luridus, it is difficult to understand why Dejean described it as a new species because he knew the type material of A. flavicollis (Sturm, 1825)., Published as part of Serrano, José, 2022, Designation of types of European Harpalini (Coleoptera: Carabidae) described by Dejean and deposited in the MNHN, Paris, pp. 484-500 in Zootaxa 5141 (5) on page 495, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5141.5.4, http://zenodo.org/record/6593146, {"references":["Dejean, P.

Anisodactylus virens Dejean, 1829: 135. The specimen hereby designated as lectotype is a male, labeled “ virens var. distinctus Sol. Gal. merid. D.”, “Solier”, “ex-Museo Chaudoir” and “ Lectotype of Anisodactlus virens Dejean, 1829 desig. by J. Serrano ”. Concerning this species Dejean (1829) stated that: Il se trouve assez communément dans le midi de la France, et il m’a été envoyé par M. Solier. Lately, Dejean (1831) briefly described a new variety named distinctus by Solier don’t la coleur est presque entièrement noire. This name is nowadays considered a synonym of Anisodactylus virens virens (Kataev & Wrase, 2017a). For this reason, the specimen has been designed as lectotype. It is dorsally darkcoloured; there are other beetles in the collection (possibly paralectotypes) with various degrees of green metallic lustre. Variation in dorsal colouration is common in carabids living in salty places. Its characteristics match those of the original description and the current concept of the species. A. virens is currently included in the subgenus Hexatrichus Tschitschérine, 1898, that is characterized by a labrum with many setae at each side, the trifid internal spur of protibia and sexual differences in the anterior leg. The subgenus includes two species which are very similar but can be distinguished by the shape of pronotum and median lobe of aedeagus (e.g., Jeannel, 1942, p. 604). A. virens is polytypic; the nominal subspecies occupies South France, North Italy and the Iberian Peninsula whereas the subspecies A. virens winthemi Dejean, 1831 inhabits Egypt, Sicily, NW Afrique, Canary Islands (Wrase, 2009) and Madeira. Bedel (1898) and Antoine (1959) described the characteristics of this last subspecies; both authors noted that dorsal colouration is variable, and in Algeria and Maroc is more greenish. These observations are interesting as this subspecies was established according to its dark (almost black) dorsal colouration and geographic origin (Egypt)., Published as part of Serrano, José, 2022, Designation of types of European Harpalini (Coleoptera: Carabidae) described by Dejean and deposited in the MNHN, Paris, pp. 484-500 in Zootaxa 5141 (5) on page 486, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5141.5.4, http://zenodo.org/record/6593146, {"references":["Dejean, P.

The specimen here designated as lectotype is a male bearing labels “ marginatus m. in Hispania”, “ Lectotype ” and “ Stenolophus marginatus Dejean, 1829 desig. by J. Serrano ”. Egadroma is currently considered as a subgenus of Stenolophus ((Jaeger & Kataev, 2017). However, Jeannel (1942) ranked Egadroma to the genus status based on the aedeagus poorly sclerotized and the groove on hind tarsomeres. Serrano (1981a, b) added to these characters the observations on male achiasmatic meiosis. More taxa of Stenolophus and Egadroma must be studied to corroborate these differences. The lectotype hereby designated was collected in Spain, the first place mentioned by Dejean. The species is easily identified as it is the single representative of the genus in the west Palearctic.

We have no competing interests in the elaboration of this paper., The systematics of Iberian Amarina Bonelli, 1810 (Coleoptera, Carabidae) is revised by updating the catalogue of species and their distribution. Keys to determine the genera, subgenera and species are included. To date, 73 species and subspecies included in 13 subgenera and 2 genera are known from Iberia. It is discussed the position of Curtonotus Stephens, 1828 and Amarocelia Motschulsky, 1862 as separate taxa in the light of new evidence. The biogeography of Amarina is also discussed; species of this subtribe show a wide distribution within the Palearctic region, whereas the whole family Carabidae shows a higher proportion of endemisms and Mediterranean elements in the Iberian Peninsula. Comments on the evolutionary history of Amarina are likewise included; the group seems to have an Asiatic European origin and colonized the Mediterranean basin when the ancient Tethys Sea was closed., Se ha revisado la sistemática de los Amarina Bonelli, 1810 ibéricos (Coleoptera, Carabidae), actualizando el catálogo de especies y su distribución y se ha elaborado claves para la determinación de géneros, subgéneros y especies.

Se aportan argumentos recientes y clásicos para considerar a Curtonotus Stephens, 1828 y Amarocelia Motschulsky, 1862 como taxones independientes. También se discuten aspectos biogeográficos de los Amarina ibéricos; el patrón de los taxones de esta subtribu es diferente al del conjunto de la familia Carabidae en la península ibérica, ya que la mayoría de los Amarina presentan una distribución amplia en la región Paleártica, mientras que en el conjunto de los carábidos ibéricos predominan los endemismos y los elementos mediterráneos.

Coelioxoides piscicauda Rocha-Filho sp. nov. (Figs. 1, 2) Diagnosis. This species can be distinguished from all others in the genus by the unique subacute tubercles partially hidden by pale hairs laterobasally on labrum (in the other three species there are no tubercles on the basal margin of labrum). Additionally, females are characterized by the presence of two discrete ridges apicomedially on clypeus, forming a small concavity, and in males the clypeus is slightly concave apicomedially (in the other three Coelioxoides species the apical margin of clypeus is truncate, without concavity or ridges). Coelioxoides piscicauda sp. nov. and C. exulans (Holmberg, 1887) share some distinctive characters such as the diagonal hyaline band in forewing, the bifid S6 apex in females and the S6 disc in males covered with pale, subappressed hairs (in C. waltheriae and C. punctipennis Cresson, 1878 the forewing has an elliptical hyaline spot beyond the apex of marginal cell, the S 6 in females is cylindrical and subacute, and the S6 disc in males is covered with brownish, subappressed hairs). Coelioxoides piscicauda can be differentiated by the conspicuous pale pubescence that contrasts to the scarce, brownish to black hairs of C. exulans. In addition, the S 5 in C. exulans females is carinate medially whereas in females of the new species the S5 is never carinate, but with a discrete ridge. In males of C. exulans the apical margins of S4–S5 are projected into a triangle process whereas in C. piscicauda the apical margins of S4–S5 are slightly concave and characterized by a dense fringe of brown hairs curved apically.

The subgenus Mesocarabus Thomson, 1875 is a western Palaearctic group that currently includes five species: four of them inhabiting western Europe (Carabus lusitanicus Fabricius, 1801, Carabus problematicus Herbst, 1786, Carabus dufourii Dejean & Boisduval, 1829, and Carabus macrocephalus Dejean, 1826) and one found in the Rif Mountains in northern Morocco (Carabus riffensis Fairmaire, 1872). Representatives of Mesocarabus have been included in previous molecular phylogenetic studies, but taxon- or gene-sampling limitations yielded inconclusive results regarding its monophyly and sister relationship. Here we perform molecular phylogenetic analyses based on five mitochondrial (3625 nt) and eight nuclear (5970 nt) genes sequenced in many Mesocarabus populations, and in related western Palaearctic Carabus Linnaeus, 1758. We conducted parsimony, maximum-likelihood, and Bayesian analyses and found a well-supported sister relationship between a monophyletic Mesocarabus with Iberian species of the subgenus Oreocarabus Géhin, 1876. Within Mesocarabus, the European species form a monophyletic lineage sister to Moroccan C. riffensis. A time-calibrated phylogeny suggests the split between Mesocarabus and Oreocarabus occurred at 11.8 Mya (95% highest posterior density, HPD, 8.7–15.3 Mya), and the divergence between C. riffensis and European Mesocarabus at 9.5 Mya (95% HPD 7.0–12.5 Mya). The early diversification of Mesocarabus and related subgenera during the Miocene, and alternative hypotheses concerning the origin of Mesocarabus in the Iberian Peninsula and the Betic-Riffian plate are discussed using calibration data and dispersal–vicariance biogeographic analyses. Finally, we found instances of incongruence between mitochondrial DNA and nuclear-based phylogenies of Mesocarabus, which are hypothesized to be the result of introgressive hybridization., This research was funded by projects of the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation CGL2006/06706, CGL2009-10906 (JS), and CGL2008-00007, with co-funding by European Union FEDER Funds (J.G-Z.), as well as project 08724PI08 of the Fundación Séneca (Murcia) (J.S.). C.A. received the support of an FPU predoctoral studentship of the Spanish Ministry of Education.

Description of the larva: Material studied. Twenty apparently older-instar larvae were collected in the type locality, ten in June 19, 2007 and another ten in November 12, 2007. Larvae were labelled “ SPAIN Villarrubia de Santiago Toledo 19.VI-– 2007 Spring on a hillside 590m N 40, 0 2 W -3,30 Andújar and Lencina leg., and “ SPAIN Villarrubia de Santiago Toledo 15.IX- 2007 Spring on a hillside 590 m N 40, 0 2 W -3,30 Andújar, Lencina and Sánchez leg.. Five larvae of these two dates were mounted on Euparal microscope slides and stored at the Canadian National Collection of Insects, Arachnids and Nematodes, Ottawa, Canada. Larvae are not designated as type specimens. Diagnosis. Three-segmented antennae is a unique feature readily distinguishing Typhlocharis from those of the vast majority of Carabidae genera, including the genus Geocharidius Jeannel, 1963, the only other member of Anillina with described larvae (Grebennikov 2002). Larval characters of T. toletana are similar to those described for Tyhlocharis sp. (Arndt et al. 1999). Description of the larva. Body length about 2.2 mm (Figs. 4–5); maximal head width 0.173 mm (0.172– 0.175 mm, n = 5). Cephalic capsule almost parallel-sided and slightly elongated (Figs. 4, 5 a), without epicranial suture (Fig. 4 d) and stemmata (Fig. 4 e), mandible with a wide base, terebrum apically of retinaculum with one apical and large tooth, and one medial and small. All other characters of these larvae, including details of the chaetotaxy, are identical with a Typhlocharis larva previously described by Arndt et al. (1999). Molecular analysis: ModelTest showed that GTR+G was the best-fit substitution model, with a γ value of 0.1603. A pairwise divergence analysis conducted in PAUP with this parameter showed that divergences between the adults and the putative larva of T. toletana are low, between 0 and 0.013 %, while divergences among different Typhlocharis species vary from 15 % to 26 %. Divergences between Typhlocharis and Hypotyphlus are around 30 % (Table 2). Habitat: The type locality of Typhlocharis toletana n. sp. is a spring on a lateral hillside facing Arroyo de Vitoria, a stream with permanent water in white loamy soil area close to Villarrubia de Santiago (Toledo, Spain). Type locality is 1.5 km apart from the main course of river Tajo. There was only herbaceous vegetation, mainly composed of grass, like Brachypodium sp. conducted in PaupUp using the nucleotide substitution model GTR+G (γ= 0.1602), calculated with ModelTest 3.7.

Affinities: Adults of T. toletana n. sp. share with those of T. monastic a Zaballos and Wrase 1998 and T. peregrina Zaballos and Wrase 1998 the unguiform type genitalia. However, T. toletana can be easily distinguished from them by the absence of tooth at the posterior margin of elytra and the umbilicate series of 4 + 3 type (as compared to 4 + 2 type found in the cited species). These and other characters suggest the inclusion of T. toletana in the T. diecki species group, whereas the lack of teeth in the posterior half of the lateral margin plus the sutural angle of elytra is characteristic to the T. silvanoides species group. Presently described T. toletana larva cannot be reliably distinguished from the congeneric larvae described by Arndt et al. (1999) and, therefore, are not informative in clarifying species relationships. Affinities of the new species are, therefore, ambiguous.
