Observations on some Tenebrionidae (Coleoptera) from Sardinia, with description of three new Asida*
نویسنده
چکیده
Three new taxa, endemic of Sardinia, are described in the genus Asida Latreille, 1802: Asida (Asida) dryas sp. nov. (type locality: Capoterra, Gutturu Mannu), A. (Asida) anachoreta sp. nov. (type locality: Gonnosfanadiga, Punta Cammedda), and A. (Asida) solieri caroli ssp. nov. (type locality: Morgongiori, Is Benas). Additional systematic, distributional and ecological data are provided for some Tenebrionidae occurring in Sardinia. The following synonymy is established: Stenosis angusticollis (Reiche, 1861) = Stenosis angusticollis ssp. elongatissima Koch, 1940 syn. nov.; Tentyria rugosa Gené, 1836 is reinstated as a valid species, well differentiated from T. ramburi Solier, 1835. Furthermore, Tentyria rugosa is split into three subspecies: T. rugosa ssp. rugosa Gené, 1836, T. rugosa ssp. floresii Gené, 1836 and T. rugosa ssp. cassolai Ardoin, 1973. The latter is transferred from T. ramburi. T. ramburi is transferred from the subgenus Tentyria s. str. to the subgenus Subtentyrina.
