In this paper the larval morphology of the Palaearctic Meloe subgenera Eurymeloe and Coelomeloe is revised. We describe the first instar larva of Meloe (Eurymeloe) apenninicus, endemic to the Italian peninsula and, comparatively, triungulins of three more species of the subgenus Eurymeloe: M. apivorus, M. ganglbaueri, misidentified in literature, and of M. mediterraneus, incompletely described. Descriptions are accompanied by scanning electron microscope (SEM) photos of diagnostic characters and by a table reporting the size of the morphological details of 11 Euro-Mediterranean species and of M. (Coelomeloe) tuccius. The taxonomic position of the subgenus Coelomeloe and its distinction from Eurymeloe are discussed on the basis of larval morphology. Taxonomical problems concerning some Eurymeloe species are also discussed. A key to first instar larvae of all known Eurymeloe and Coelomeloe triungulins is provided.

Phylogeny of Meloini blister beetles (Coleoptera, Meloidae) and patterns of island colonization in the Western Palaearctic

et al. 2021

Flightless, phoretic insects of the tribe Meloini include several widespread species able to inhabit both mainland and oceanic and continental islands. Relationships between phoretic and non‐phoretic species of Meloini are unclear, precluding broad evolutionary and biogeographic analyses within the group. We provide a robust molecular phylogenetic framework for Meloini, with finer sampling in the Western Palaearctic, by analysing two nuclear (Wg, 18S) and two mtDNA (cox1, 16S) gene fragments of 24 species representing eight subgenera of Meloe and Physomeloe. Our phylogenetic analyses revealed that Meloe, as currently recognized, is paraphyletic. Our phylogenetic hypothesis clarifies several controversial relationships within the group. We provide a new taxonomic framework that better reflects the evolutionary relationships of the group by raising to genus all previously considered subgenera: Afromeloe Schmidt, 1913, Alveomeloe Pripisnova, 1987, Chiromeloe Reitter, 1911, Desertimeloe Kaszab, 1964, Eurymeloe Reitter, 1911, Lampromeloe Reitter, 1911, Lasiomeloe Reitter, 1911, Listromeloe Reitter, 1911, Meloegonius Reitter, 1911, Mesomeloe Reitter, 1911, Meloenellus Reitter, 1911, Micromeloe Reitter, 1911, Taphromeloe Reitter, 1911 and Treiodous Dugès, 1869; while Anchomeloe Iablokoff‐Khnzorian, 1983, is recovered as subgenus of Meloe. In addition, we conducted an extensive intraspecific sampling for four phoretic taxa (Meloe proscarabaeus, Meloe autumnalis, Eurymeloe mediterraneus and Eurymeloe tuccia) and used mtDNA phylogeographic analyses to unveil patterns of overseas dispersal. Our phylogeographic analyses revealed a high level of geographically unstructured haplotype diversity within taxa, suggesting that transmarine dispersal events have occurred multiple times along the evolutionary history of phoretic species of blister beetles. Larval phoresy may explain the existence of idiosyncratic biogeographic and phylogeographic patterns in these flightless organisms.

A morphological revision of the Meloe (Meloe) species from the Palaearctic Region, including the Transitional Chinese area is published. Groups and subgroups of species from the Palaearctic Region are defined for the first time and relationships with Afrotropical and Nearctic groups of species are discussed. Twenty-five species are considered, mostly after the examination of the types, with brief descriptions and figures of diagnostic characters. Ten species, from China and the Himalayan region, are described: Meloe chinensis n. sp., M. distincticornis n. sp., M. himalayensis n. sp., M. kashmirensis n. sp., M. kaszabi n. sp., M. lateantennatus n. sp., M. orientalis n. sp., M. poggii n. sp., M. shapovalovi n. sp., and M. xuhaoi n. sp. Both Meloe aegyptius and M. rathjensi are referred to M. proscarabaeus as subspecies. Four new synonymies are pointed out: M. sapporensis Kôno, 1936 and M. tenuipes Jakowlew, 1897 = M. proscarabaeus exaratus Faldermann, 1832; M. medogensis Tan, 1981 = M. arunachalae Saha, 1979; M. patellicornis Fairmaire, 1887 = M. lobatus Gebler, 1832. Lectotype of M. subcordicollis is designated. M. formosensis is tentatively maintained as distinct species, with the suggestion that it could be a subspecies of M. gracilior. Meloe menoko is tentatively included in the intraspecific variability of M. auriculatus, a formal synonymy will be made by other authors. Meloe poteli is not considered in this revision, being the type is unavailable; other species (M. modestus, M. longipennis, M. elegantulus), previously considered in the nominate subgenus are excluded. A key to both sexes of the species is carried out and a catalogue of localities is recorded as Appendix 1. Ecological information about phenology, elevation range, host plants, is summarized in a table, and some biogeographical remarks are proposed.
