AbstractThis paper describes two related species of the subgenus Paragus (Paragus) Latreille 1804 from two remote regions. The study of material from the Bohart Museum (Davis, California, United States) resulted in the discovery of an undescribed Nearctic species, P. vockerothi sp.nov. Simultaneously, one similar new European species, P. glumaci sp.nov., is reported among material collected from the Balkan Peninsula. The description of both species, with figures of male genitalia and diagnostic characters, is given. The zoogeographical significance of the discovery of these species is emphasized.

A New Species

The present study describes a new ground-beetle species (Coleoptera, Carabidae) from Madeira island (type localities: FANAL and RIBEIRO BONITO), Orthomus (Nesorthomus) susanae Serrano & Borges, n. sp. Adults were sampled by means of pitfall traps. This work provides diagnostic characters, in particular the structure of male genitalia, and the distribution of this new species. Affinities to putative relatives and a key for the identification of males of the eight Orthomus (Nesorthomus) species of the Madeira island are also given.

The genus Sulabanus gen. nov. is described from Sulawesi and it is placed in the tribe Metriorrhynchini, and a close relationships with Metriorrhynchus Gemminger & Harold, 1869 is suggested. Twenty–five species are recognized, of which 24 are described as new: S. ambangensis sp. nov., S. amporiwensis sp. nov., S. barclayi sp. nov., S. brancuccii sp. nov., S. brunneus sp. nov., S. cordatus sp. nov., S. dumongabonensis sp. nov., S. gracilis sp. nov., S. katarinae sp. nov., S. lalui sp. nov., S. lineatus sp. nov., S. mamasensis sp. nov., S. major sp. nov., S. minor sp. nov., S. nigricordatus sp. nov., S. niger sp. nov., S. ocularis sp. nov., S. pendolensis sp. nov., S. robustus sp. nov., S. rufomarginatus sp. nov., S. similis sp. nov., S. tenggahensis sp. nov., S. ulci sp. nov., and S. utarensis sp. nov. Xylobanus nigricolor Pic, 1922 is transferred to Sulabanus gen. nov. and redescribed. The species of Sulabanus are classified in five species groups based on the shape of male genitalia and these groups are described with important diagnostic characters illustrated. A species identification key for males is provided. The ecology, zoogeography, evolution and mimicry of Sulabanus gen. nov. are discussed. The high degree of external similarity among distantly related species from several lycid genera in Sulawesi suggests evolution of Müllerian mimicry.

The new species and two sibling Tanytarsus, T. brundini Lindeberg, 1963 and T. curticornis Kieffer, 1911, are compared, diagnosed and illustrated in detail. Morphological variability and diagnostic characters of the three related species are discussed. An emended diagnosis for adult males of the Tanytarsus chinyensis species group and a key to determination of European species of the group are also provided.

Two New Species

The genus Agrotera Schrank, 1802 is revised for Australia and the generic definition is refined based on the male genitalia. The genera Leucinodella Strand, 1918 stat. rev. with L. leucostola (Hampson, 1896) comb. nov., Nistra Walker, 1859 stat. rev. with N. coelatalis Walker, 1859 comb. rev., Sagariphora Meyrick, 1894 stat. rev. with S. magnificalis (Hampson, 1893) comb. nov., and Tetracona Meyrick, 1884 stat. rev. with T. amathealis (Walker, 1859) comb. rev. and T. pictalis Warren, 1896 comb. rev. are removed from synonymy with Agrotera, as they lack the synapomorphies of Agrotera. Two new species, Agrotera genuflexa sp. nov. from Northern Territory, Queensland and New South Wales, and A. longitabulata sp. nov. from Queensland, are described. The taxonomic status of the Australian species of Agrotera is discussed, and a key to all species, based on males, is provided. The adults and genitalia of the new species and some related species are figured.

A new Ceratostylis species from the Kalatungan Mountain Range, one of the mountains of Bukidnon that needs further exploration, is described and illustrated. Morphological diagnostic characters of related species of the genus are discussed. Though similar to C. elmeri, the new species is clearly distinguished by the size of the flower and by its uniquely small size labellum. It is also similar to C. philippinensis, however, it can be recognized by having a marked difference in the shape of the lip, sepals, and petals.

In this study, Fritillaria arsusiana (Liliaceae) is described and illustrated as a new species from Hatay province in southern Anatolia, Turkey. It is related to F. amana and F. hermonis by habitus features and broadly campanulate flowers, but differs mainly by its bulb shape and size, smaller leaf and flower features, and flower colour. It has also been morphologically compared with F. wendelboi, F. pinardii, and F. latakiensis. The detailed description, diagnostic characters, original photographs, geographical distribution, habitat and phenology, etymology, conservation status, and identification key of the new and the related species are presented in this study. IUCN conservation status of F. arsusiana is suggested as Critically Endangered (CR).
