More faunistic and taxonomic information about the species of the genus Atractodes of the Palaearctic Region are reported. The following species are described as new: A. cylindraceus sp. n., A. foveoclypeatus sp. n., A. kasparyani sp. n., A. magnus sp. n. and A. rossicus sp. n. The females of A. procerus Foerster and A. remotus Jussila, and the male of A. turkuensis Jussila are described. A. ficticius (Foerster) is a senior synonym of A. genuinus Foerster, and A. helveticus (Foerster) a senior secondary homonym of A. helveticus Foerster and a senior synonym of A. oreophilus Foerster. A. areolaris (Habermehl) is a new junior synonym of A. gravidus Gravenhorst and A. cinctus (Foerster) a junior synonym of A. fumatus (Haliday). A. remotus Jussila is given a species rank. New combinations are A. cinctus (Foerster) and A. helveticus (Foerster). Renewed keys to the females and males of western Palaearctic Atractodes have been made.

A New Species

The Holarctic genus Lathrobium Gravenhorst, 1802 is represented in the Palaearctic region sensu Löbl & Smetana (2004) by five subgenera. According to the Palaearctic catalogue (Smetana 2004) and an updated version by Schülke (unpubl.), the highly diverse nominal subgenus currently includes 248 valid species and subspecies in the Palaearctic region (6 nomina dubia not included), with 73 (sub-)species confined to the Western Palaearctic (one of these species present also in the western parts of the Eastern Palaearctic), 167 (sub-)species to the Eastern Palaearctic including Middle Asia (two of them present also in the eastern parts of the Western Palaearctic), and with 8 species having a trans-Palaearctic distribution. Several species have become known from Middle Asia (Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Kazakhstan), but up to today no representative of the genus has been reported from Kyrgyzstan (Smetana 2004).

Recent reports of Melitaea ornata Christoph, 1893 from countries within the Western Palaearctic region, for example from Spain, Bosnia Herzegovina and Asia, have considerably widened the previously accepted distribution of this species. Details of localities in more than twenty-five countries, with references, are given. Those countries in which the presence of M. ornata has been reported but without any substantial evidence are noted.

New taxonomic, morphological and faunistic data for three Western Palaearctic species of the genus Acrolocha Thomson, 1858 are provided. Acrolocha caucasica Tóth, 1976 is redescribed and illustrated. The lectotype for A. pliginskii Bernhauer, 1912 is designated. Acrolocha amabilis (Heer, 1841) is recorded from Central European part of Russia and Georgia for the first time.

Stratigraphic Ranges

Platycrinitesis traditionally one of the more recognizable crinoids, a camerate crinoid with very few if any fixed brachials or interradials and a helically twisted column. Accordingly, many taxa have been assigned to this genus. With a better understanding of the Platycrinitidae, these characters actually unite the family Platycrinitidae rather than the genus. Further, use of different genus-diagnostic characters in Western Europe versus North America has resulted in a confused systematics for this important late Paleozoic family. Here, we objectively define genera within the Platycrinitidae and assign all species to either newly defined or newly named genera. A phylogenetic hypothesis, incorporating both parsimony-based character analysis and stratigraphic ranges, of the genera within the Platycrinitidae is presented.With consideration of the type species,Platycrinites laevisMiller, 1821,Platycrinitessensu stricto is distinguished fromPlatycrinitessensu lato, which is used for species that cannot be assigned with confidence to any objectively defined genus. New genera areArtaocrinusn. gen.,Collicrinusn. gen.,Elegantocrinusn. gen., andLaticrinusn. gen.; andExsulacrinusBowsher and Strimple, 1986 is designated a junior synonym ofPlatycrinitess.s.Collicrinus shumardin. gen. and sp.,Laticrinus owenin. gen. and sp., andLaticrinus wachsmuthin. gen. and sp. are described; andPlatycrinites formosus approximatus(Miller and Gurley, 1896a) is designated a junior synonym ofPlatycrinites formosus(Miller and Gurley, 1895a), which is reassigned here toCollicrinusn. gen.Platycrinitess.s. now includes 14 species and species-level taxa, and 76 species are assigned toPlatycrinitess.l. Ten species are designated nomina dubia, as are taxa based solely on columnals or pluricolumnals. Two species are designated nomina nuda, and two are transferred to genera outside of the Platycrinitidae. In addition, twenty-seven species and four open-nomenclature taxa are each reassigned to a different genus.

The Palaearctic and Indochinese species of the genus Dilophotes Waterhouse, 1879 are reviewed. Stenolycus Ohbayashi, 1956 is considered a junior synonym of Dilophotes. Stenolycus ohirai Ohbayashi, 1956 and Stenolycus vandykei Nakane, 1970 are transferred to Dilophotes. Twelve new species are described here: Dilophotes anthracinus sp. n., D. bhutanensis sp. n., D. bolavensis sp. n., D. holzschuhi sp. n., D. jendeki sp. n., D. kubani sp. n., D. laosensis sp. n., D. lizipingensis sp. n., D. luteus sp. n., D. moxiensis sp. n., D. pacholatkoi sp. n., and D. sausai sp. n. Most previously known species are redescribed and a key to all species is provided. Male genitalia and important external characters are illustrated.
