Argentinatachoides, a New Genus from Argentina Putatively Related to the Australian-tasmanian Tasmanitachoides Erwin, 1972 (coleoptera: Carabidae: Bembidiini)

چکیده
Argentinatachoides balli, new genus, new species, in the tribe Bembidiini is described and illustrated, and its microhabitat noted. Adults of this new species were found in Argentina, east of the Andean Cordillera, in Mendoza and La Rioja Provinces. The subulate apical palpomeres and other characters place this new genus in Bembidiini and the sub-oblique notched anterior tibiae assign it to the subtribe Tachyina. Structural attributes, for example the elytral recurrent groove appearing double and the symmetrical basal lobes of the aedeagal median lobe, indicate that this species is related to the Australian-Tasmanian genus, Tasmanitachoides Erwin, 1972. This discovery amplifies the known range of a particular fauna of Carabidae that was once widely distributed in the western part of Gondwana. Some aspects of the biogeography of the group are discussed. Key wordS: Argentina, Argentinatachoides balli, Austral Gondwana, Bembidiini, Tachyina

The Neotropical genus Costitachys Erwin 1974 is revised. Newly discovered specimens of a new species of Costitachys from Ecuador provide comparative genitalic characters of males for the genus and extend its range 2900 km west of its previously known distribution into an additional center of species radiation in South America, the "North Andean Slope." A new species, Costitachys tena Erwin and ...
متن کاملPhylogeny of minute carabid beetles and their relatives based upon DNA sequence data (Coleoptera, Carabidae, Trechitae)
The phylogeny of ground beetles of supertribe Trechitae is inferred using DNA sequences of genes that code for 28S ribosomal RNA, 18S ribosomal RNA, and wingless. Within the outgroups, austral psydrines are inferred to be monophyletic, and separate from the three genera of true Psydrina (Psydrus, Nomius, Laccocenus); the austral psydrines are formally removed from Psydrini and are treated herei...

The boundaries and relationships of the ground beetle group Chilioperyphus Jeannel (a subgenus of the cosmopolitan genus Bembidion Latreille) are examined using DNA and morphological data. DNA sequence data from seven genes (six nuclear and one mitochondrial) indicates that Chiliopeiyphus (as newly defined) is monophyletic, and is related to the subgenera Antipetyphanes Jeannel and Plocanoperyp...

Four new species of the formerly monotypic genus Pelodiaetodes are described from New Zealand. Three of them: P. constricticollis, sp. n., P. moorei, sp. n., and P. aldermensis, sp. n., occurring on the North Island, are morphologically similar to the type species, P. prominens Moore. The fourth species, P. nunni, sp. n., occurring on the South Island, is morphologically distinct from the nomin...
