Two New Species

The South African endemic humicolous genus Nucleotops Perkins and Balfour-Browne is revised. Nucleotops comprises three species from the Cape Province. Two new species are described: N. endroedyi (Cape Province, 5 km NE Pearly Beach) and N. interceps (Cape Province, Stellenbosch, Krom River). The vast majority of the 1,462 specimens studied were collected by sifting humus, marsh shore debris or moist litter. High resolution digital images of the holotypes are presented (online version in color), the male genitalia are illustrated, and the geographical distributions are mapped.

The South African endemic humicolous beetle genus Discozantaena Perkins and Balfour-Browne is revised, based of the study of 1,735 specimens. Ten new species are described: D. brevicollis, (S. Cape Mt., Helderfontein S.), D. drakensbergensis (Lesotho: Drakensberg, Sani Pass Valley), D.endroedyi (Cape-Cederberg, jeep track, 32° 28' S, 19° 14' E), D. galea (Cape Province, Swartberg Pass, 33° 54' S–22° 01' E), D. karroo (Cape Province, Little Karroo, Raubenheimer Dam, 33° 25' S, 22° 19' E), D. leleupi (Cape Province, Muizenberg), D. ovata (SW Cape, Groot Toren farm, 31° 20' S, 19° 44' E), D. sepiola (S. Cape, Harkerville Forest, 34° 4' S, 23° 10' E), D. sequentia (Cape-Cederberg, jeep track, 32° 28' S, 19° 14' E), and D. tibiovela (Natal, 75km WSW Estcourt, Cathedral Peaks Forest Station). A key to the 11 known species is given. High resolution digital images of all holotypes are presented (Zootaxa online version in color), the male genitalia are illustrated, and geographic distributions are mapped. The vast majority of specimens were collected by sifting litter, especially marsh shore litter. Four of the species are flightless, the wings being reduced to small lobes. One species has both normal and reduced winged individuals.

The Western Australian endemic humicolous beetle genus Tympallopatrum Perkins is revised. A key to the four known species is given. Three new species are described: T. aureolum (12 km W. Walpole, Walpole National Park, Mt. Clare), T. callosum (Beedelup National Park, 20 km W. Pemberton), and T. curvicostum (Porongurup National Park, Bolganup Creek). These rare, markedly sculptured beetles were collected from litter and/or fungi, or by pyrethrin fogging of bark, usually near streams or moist habitats. High resolution digital images of the holotypes are presented (online version in color), male genitalia are illustrated, and geographic distributions are mapped.

Two new species of the genus Paragus Latreille, 1804 are described from the Republic of South Africa: Paragus longipilus Tot, Vujić et Radenković sp. nov. and Paragus megacercus Tot, Vujić et Radenković sp. nov. These new species belong to the subgenus Pandasyopthalmus Stuckenberg, 1954a. Paragus longipilus sp. nov. is a member of the P. jozanus group, whereas Paragus megacercus sp. nov. belongs to the P. tibialis group. The taxonomic status of Paragus chalybeatus Hull, 1964 is revised and proposed as synonym of Paragus punctatus Hull, 1949. Additionally, an identification key to males of the South African species of Paragus is provided. Results of the present study confirm a significant level of endemism of Paragus in the Afrotropical Region (12 out of 29).

Ochthebius (s. str.) queenslandicus Hansen is taxonomically reviewed. The species is redescribed, male genitalia illustrated, distribution data given, and geographical distributions mapped. High resolution digital images of the holotype are presented (online version in color). Ochthebius queenslandicus, the only Australian member of the genus, is known from four widely separated coastal localities, near the cities of Perth, Darwin, Karumba, and Townsville; only 41 specimens are known. It is primarily a coastal marsh species that appears to be most closely related to a species in Thailand. Members of the subgenus are not yet known from areas between Thailand and Australia.

Two New Species

Two new species, Eremogryllodes spinulatus sp. nov. and E. balouchi sp. nov., are described from the south of Iran. These crickets were collected in caves located in Fars and Sistan & Balouchestan Provinces. They differ from other Iranian congeners mainly in some distinct characters of ventral ectoparameres in the male genitalia, namely structure of distal and proximal sclerites of ventral ectoparamere, and shape of dorsal ectoparamere and rachis.

Two New Species

Omniops gen. n. (Coleoptera: Hydrophilidae: Hydrophilini: Acidocerina) is described for two new species from Papua New Guinea: Omniops fasciatus sp. n. and O. hanseni sp. n. This genus is distinguished from other genera of Hydrophilidae by having the eyes divided into dorsal and ventral portions by an extension of the frons, and by having a row of dense long setae on the labrum. The tribal placement of the new genus and that of Quadriops Hansen are discussed. High resolution digital images are given for each holotype (online versions in color).
