Review of the Lycoceruspallidulus group (Coleoptera, Cantharidae), with descriptions of six new species from China.


ABSTRACT: The Lycoceruspallidulus subgroup, originally placed in the L.maculicollis group, is suggested as an independent species group herein and its diagnosis is redefined. Ten previously known species of Lycocerus are attributed to this group, including L.centrochinensis (Švihla, 2004), L.genaemaculatus (Wittmer, 1951), L.hubeiensis (Švihla, 2004), L.kubani (Švihla, 2004), L.zdeneki (Švihla, 2004), L.bilineatus (Wittmer, 1995), L.jelineki (Švihla, 2004), L.putzi Švihla, 2011, L.pictipennis (Wittmer, 1995), and L.curvatus (Wittmer, 1995). Additionally, six new species of this group are described from China, including L.laterophysussp. nov., L.flavipennissp. nov., L.putzimimussp. nov., L.maoershanensissp. nov., L.chongqingensissp. nov., and L.bispermathecussp. nov. These species are illustrated with photographs of habitus, aedeagi, abdominal sternites VIII, and reproductive systems of female. In addition, an identification key and a distribution map of the L.pallidulus group are provided.
