On the genus Lobrathium Mulsant & Rey, 1878 (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae: Paederinae) of the Palearctic region II. A new species from Türkiye and faunistic notes on some species

Abstract

Lobrathium Mulsant & Rey (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae: Paederinae) cinsi Palearktik Bölgede 156 tür temsil edilen bir cinstir. Bu çalışmada, Türkiye’den Lobrathium (s. str.) thracicum sp. n. (Kırklareli) türü tanımlanmış, şekillendirilmiş ve bu cinsin coğrafik olarak yakın türlerden farklılıkları gösterilmiştir. Böylece, bu cins Türkiye’de 12 türle bilinmekte olup bunların 10’u bu ülkeye endemiktir. Palaearktik Bölgedeki Afganistan, Arnavutluk, Azerbaycan, Bosna-Hersek, Kıbrıs, Çekya, Yunanistan, Fransa, Portekiz, Rusya, Slovenya, İspanya ve Türkiye’de bulunan dokuz Lobrathium türüne ait faunistik notlar sunulmuştur. Taksonomik olarak tartışmalı iki tür olan, Kıbrıs’tan Lobrathium apicale (Baud idi Selve, 1857) ve Afganistan’dan Lobrathium triste (Cameron, 1924) türünün sinonimi Lobrathium afghanicum Coiffait, 1979, türü şekillendirilmiştir.

Palaearktik bölgedeki Lobrathium Mulsant & Rey, 1878 (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae: Paederinae) cinsi üzerine II: Türkiye’den bir yeni tür ve bazı türler üzerinde faunistik notlar

Abstract

The genus Lobrathium Mulsant & Rey (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae: Paederinae) is represented in the Palaearctic region by 156 species. In the study, Lobrathium (s. str.) thracicum sp. n. (Kırklareli) from Türkiye is described, figured, and distinguished from geographically closest congeners. The genus is now known to occurin Türkiye by 12 species, 10 of which are endemic to this country. Faunistic notes on nine species of the genus Lobrathium in Afghanistan, Albania, Azerbaijan, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Cyprus, Czechia, Greece, France, Portugal, Russia, Slovenia, Spain, and Türkiye of the Palaearctic Region are presented. Two species that are taxonomically controversial, Lobrathium apicale (Baud di Selve, 1857) from Cyprus and Lobrathium. afghanicum Coiffait, 1979, synonym of Lobrathium triste (Cameron, 1924) from Afghanistan, are illustrated.
