Contribution to the knowledge of the Palaearctic species of the genus Diplous Motschulsky, 1850 (Coleoptera: Carabidae)

A.S. Zamotajlov

Abstract. Descriptions or redescriptions as well as comparative morphometric data are presented for several Asiatic species of the genus Diplous: D. petrogorbatschevi sp. n. (Tibet), D. sciakyi sp. n. (Sichuan), D. yunnanus Jedlička, 1932 (Yunnan ), D. sterbai Jerdlička, 1932 (Gansu), D. szetschuanus Jerdlička, 1932 (Sichuan), D. gansuensis Jerdlička, 1932 (Gansu), D. sibiricus (Motschulsky, 1844) ( China, E Siberia, Mongolia, Japan), D. jedlickai sp. n. (Sichuan). The following new synonymy is established: D. sibiricus caligatus Bates, 1873 = D. tesari Jerdlička, 1951; D. szetschuanus Jerdlička, 1932 = D. yunnanus ab. flavipes Jerdlička, 1932. A key to the Palaearctic species is given, larva of D. depressus (Gebler, 1829) is described, and some ecological data are presented.
