Some results of study on the Nitidulidae from Namibia and adjacent territories. Part 1 (Coleoptera, Cucujoidea, Nitidulidae) //
Mitteilungen aus dem Zoologisches Museum in Berlin, Vol. 72, No. 1, P. 21-52.


ABSTRACT:   The paper deals with a preliminary consideration of the Namibian fauna of the family Nitidulidae, including some species recorded from adjacent territories, i.e. Angola, Zambia, Botswana, Zimbabwe and Republic of South Africa. The data on 56 species are given in the paper, amongst which 31 species have been collected from Namibia, but others can be expected to be collected there. The synonymy and systematic position for some species of the genera Carpophilus STEPHENS, 1830, Meligethes STEPHENS, 1830, Lordites ERICHSON, 1843, are discussed. 7 species of the Meligethes subgenus Clypeogethes are described as new: M. (C.) annae, locus typicus: Republic of South Africa, Natal, Cathedral Peaks Forest Station; M. (C.) antila, locus typicus: RSA, Natal, Nqutu; M. (C.) arcopenis, l.t.: Namibia, Grootfontein, Farm Hurisib; M. (C.) asignifer, l.t.: Namibia, Bushmanland, Klein Dobe; M. (C.) bisignifer, l.t.: Namibia, Abachaus; M. (C.) mitis, l.t.: Namibia, env. Windhoek; M. (C.) opacidorsurm, l.t.: Namibia, Okahandja. Information on distribution of the considered species is given in a maximally wide scope. The notes to some species are provided available bionomical comments.


KEYWORDS:   Insecta, Coleoptera, Nitidulidae; new species, lectotype designation, new synonymy, key, faunistics; Afrotropical region, Southern Africa, Namibia, Angola, Botswana, Zambia, Zimbabwe, and Republic of South Africa.
