“…Pang and Mao [ 33 ] described a new subspecies according to one specimen from Sichuan Province and explained its difference from that of Japan by the angulation on the lateral side of each lobe and the depth of the split. We compared 11 male specimens from five provinces (including Sichuan Province, the type locality of this subspecies) ( Figure S1 ), and we did not find any significant differences from Sasaji’s illustrations [ 26 ] (p.214, Figure 88).…”

Twenty species of the genus Telsimia from China are reviewed herein. Among them, eight species are described as new to science: Telsimia chayuensis, T. forcipata, T. latus, T. lobatus, T. lunata, T. menglaensis, T. parascymnoides, and T. parvus spp. nov.; two species are reported from China for the first time: T. darjeelingensis Kapur, 1969 and T. elongate Hoàng, 1985. All species are provided with nomenclatural history, diagnoses, detailed descriptions (except for the 10 previously described species), colored illustrations, and distributions. The female genitalia of five described species are provided for the first time. A distribution map and a key to all the Chinese species are also provided.

“…Eupsilobiidae additionally differs by the presence of antennal grooves on head and postcoxal lines on abdominal ventrite 1 (antennal grooves absent, abdominal postcoxal lines absent in Rhomeocalpsua), and Mycetaeidae additionally differs by the pronotal disc with lateral raised carinae (pronotal lateral margins simply bordered without raised carinae in Rhomeocalpsua). Anamorphidae shares the simple 3segmented tarsi (occurring in many Anamorphidae) and widely closed mesocoxal cavities with Rhomeocalpsua (Sasaji, 1978b(Sasaji, , 1987(Sasaji, , 1990Tomaszewska, 2000a). Antennae built of nine antennomeres also occur in some Anamorphidae.…”

Rhomeocalpsua torosa gen. et sp. nov., a unique lineage of Endomychidae from mid‑Cretaceous Burmese amber (Coleoptera: Coccinelloidea)

A new fossil genus and species of the family Endomychidae, Rhomeocalpsua torosa Li, Tomaszewska & Cai, gen. et sp. nov., is described and illustrated from the mid-Cretaceous Burmese amber. The new genus is characterised by the relatively elongate body, antennae composed of nine antennomeres with unique club morphology, unmodified pronotum, mesocoxal cavities broadly closed laterally, femora with deep and long grooves, and 3-3-3 tarsi. Detailed morphological comparisons between the Cretaceous fossils and extant relatives suggest that its unique character combination does not fit into any existing subfamilies of Endomychidae, Mycetaeidae, Eupsilobiidae or Anamorphidae.

“…Mychothenus Strohecker, 1953, Bystodes Strohecker, 1953, Bystus Guérin-Méneville, 1857and Dialexia Gorham, 1891. Based on these characters, previously unknown within the family Endomychidae, Sasaji (1978) established the subfamily Anamorphinae (=Mychotheninae) that was subsequently elevated to family status (Sasaji 1987(Sasaji , 1990. The later action, however, did not receive a great deal of attention from researchers (Pakaluk et al 1994;Lawrence and Newton 1995).…”

‘Where is my family?’ Molecular and morphological data reveal the phylogenetic position and diversity of the enigmatic handsome fungus beetle genus Anamycetaea Strohecker, 1975 (Coleoptera, Coccinelloidea)

The genus Anamycetaea Strohecker, 1975, established for Anamycetaea keralae, a single species from India, was originally placed in the diverse endomychid subfamily Mycetaeinae and has subsequently been considered a member of the subfamily Anamorphinae based on closed mesocoxal cavities, a postulated synapomorphy of this group. Recent molecular research resulted in raising Anamorphinae to family level and revealed this group to be distantly related to Endomychidae sensu stricto. However, Anamycetaea has been ‘neglected’ since description. Our detailed study of this genus has been possible due to new material collected from Oriental and Australian regions. Striking overall similarity to the endomychine genus Tharina and a tentorium with anterior arms fused medially (separated in almost all Anamorphidae) have raised our doubts and led to further investigation of the phylogenetic placement of this enigmatic genus within Endomychidae sensu lato (handsome fungus beetles). Phylogenetic analyses of molecular and morphological datasets were conducted under Bayesian (BI), maximum likelihood (ML) and parsimony (MP) frameworks. Our results recovered Anamycetaea as belonging to the family Endomychidae, in the subfamily Endomychinae, distant from Anamorphidae. The close affinity to Stenotarsus and allies was strongly supported in all analyses. Based on material studied, A. keralae is described in detail here and includes description of previously unknown male genitalia. Four new species are also described, extending the ragne of the genus to the Australian region: Anamycetaea borneensis sp. nov. (from Borneo), A. novoguineensis sp. nov. and A. papuensis sp. nov. (from Papua New Guinea) and A. queenslandica sp. nov. (from Australia). Illustrations of morphological details and diagnoses are provided for each species. A key to the species of the genus is also presented. ZooBank: urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:90BAA954-7849-4FA9-997B-061FE7BB5702
