“…The ancestral stock could have developed before India was separated from the southern landmass (Gondwanaland) in late Jurassic. This scenario seems also to be true for the genus Leleuporella Basilewsky, which is related to TrilophuslTrilophidius and found as extremely specialised species in equatorial Africa as well as in Sri Lanka (Balkenohl 1997)…”

In 1994, I was unable to define the species more precisely. So, at that time all material was provisionally placed under the taxon Trilophus interpunctatus (Putzeys), and the need for revision of the group noted (Balkenohl 1994). MaterialThanks to the kindness of many curators and private collectors it was possible to base this investigation on 944 Trilophus specimens out of about 80 populations. The material consists of the available type material as well as material of different expeditions carried out between the beginning of this century and 1996. Although collected at many and very different localities of the Oriental region from north-west Pakistan toBali, the study is incomplete due to the limited material and the spotty collecting. For some populations of a species only a few specimens were available and in few cases only one specimen was available at all.Old type material is distributed over various public collections. Most of these specimens could be located and in addition, material seen by Putzeys and Andrewes. As usually, old type material consisted of syntypes. For this material a lectotype and paralectotype(s) have been designated and redescriptions performed for all of these species.Most of the old type material bears several labels. All label information is listed for each of those specimens. Because I could not decide in some cases which of the different locality spelling is valid, all information given on labels was listed as it appears on the labels. If the genitalia of old type material were prepared this was performed specimen by specimen to avoid any possibility of confusion of labels. The original pins have been reused and if possible the old paper cards have been gluedadditionally to the pins. This was done to keep all information available for future investigation.

The endogean carabid genus Antireicheia Basilewsky, 1951, previously know from the eastern and southern Africa and Madagascar is, for the first time, reported west of the Congo basin. Four new species are described and illustrated: A. demirei sp. nov. (Cameroon: Mt. Oku), A. hintelmanni sp. nov. (Cameroon: Mt. Oku), A. deuvei sp. nov. (Cameroon: Mt. Bamboutos) and A. camerounensis sp. nov. (Cameroon: Bafut, Nguemba forest).A key to Cameroonian Antireicheia species is provided. The composition of the subtribe Reicheiina, its monophyly, world distribution, as well as zoogeographical implications of its discovery in Western Africa, are discussed.

“…The first species belongs to the clivinine genus Leleuporella Basilewsky, 1956, which has long been known to be exclusively Afrotropical in distribution.

Two new scaritine carabids, Leleuporella tuberculata sp.n. and Striganoviella subopaca gen.n. & sp.n., are described from Vietnam. The former genus belongs to the subtribe Clivinina, Clivinini, and is first recorded in Indochina, this being a far eastward extension of the genus range within the Oriental realm. The latter genus is a member of the tribe Dyschiriini and established here for the species which shows a particular combination of characters. Some of them are unique for the tribe while some others, e.g., secondarily entire postmentum, occur nowhere else but in the North American genus Akephorus LeConte, 1851.ÐÅÇÞÌÅ.
