“…Darkling beetles (Coleoptera, Tenebrionidae) are a morphologically diverse group of over 20,000 described species (Ślipiński et al 2011), with many still being discovered every year (e.g., Aloquio et al 2019; Ando 2019; Giraldo-Mendoza and Flores 2019; Merkl 2019; Masumoto et al 2019; Nabozhenko and Purchart 2019; Schawaller and Bouchard 2019; Silvestro 2019; Smith and Rincon 2019; Soldati et al 2019; Zúñiga-Reinoso et al 2019). This publication focuses on the representatives of the subfamily Pimeliinae Latreille, 1802, specifically on Machleida Fåhraeus, 1870, which is one of the seven southern African genera representing Asidini Fleming, 1821 (Koch 1962).…”

The taxonomic concept of the genus Machleida Fåhraeus, 1870 is tested and revised based on newly identified material. The following new species are described: Machleida banachi, M. flagstaffensis, M. tarskii, and M. zofiae Kamiński. Machleida capillosa Wilke, 1925 is considered as a junior subjective synonym of Asida devia Péringuey, 1899. Asida lecta Péringuey, 1899 (= Pseudomachla recurva Wilke, 1925) (transferred to Afrasida), Machleida nossibiana Fairmaire, 1897 (transferred to Scotinesthes), and Machleida tuberosa Wilke, 1925 (interpreted as incertae sedis in Asidini) are excluded from Machleida. An identification key for the species of the newly revised Machleida is provided. The present paper brings the total number of species within the genus to six (M. banachisp. nov.; M. devia (Péringuey, 1899); M. flagstaffensissp. nov.; M. nodulosa Fåhraeus, 1870; M. tarskiisp. nov.; M. zofiae Kamiński sp. nov.). The morphology of female terminalia (ovipositor and genital tubes) is described for the genus for the first time.

The Atacama Desert at its margins harbors a unique biodiversity that is still very poorly known, especially in coastal fog oases spanning from Perú towards the Atacama coast. An outstanding species-rich fog oasis is the latitudinal fringe Paposo-Taltal, that is considered an iconic site of the Lomas formation. This contribution is the first to reveal the knowledge on arthropods of this emblematic coastal section. We used pitfall traps to study the taxonomic composition, richness, and abundance of terrestrial arthropods in 17 sample sites along a 100 km section of the coast between 24.5 and 25.5 southern latitude, in a variety of characteristic habitats. From a total of 9154 individuals, we were able to identify 173 arthropod species grouped into 118 genera and 57 families. The most diverse group were insects, with 146 species grouped in 97 genera and 43 families, while arachnids were represented by 27 species grouped into 21 genera and 14 families. Current conservation challenges on a global scale are driving the creation and evaluation of potential conservation sites in regions with few protected areas, such as the margins of the Atacama Desert. Better taxonomic, distributional, and population knowledge is urgently needed to perform concrete conservation actions in a biodiversity hotspot at a desert edge.
