FOLIA ENTOMOLOGICA HUNGARICA ROVARTANI KÖZLEMÉNYEK XLI (XXXIII). 1. 1980 p. 21-23 Anamartus jelineki sp. n., a new species from Jordan (Coleoptera: Nitidulidae) By P. AUDISIO (Received August 23, 1979) Abstract : Anamartus jelineki sp. n. , is de scribed on the basis three males collected in Jordan; the new taxon ia very closely related to A. appli (Ganglb. ). The present short note is based on description of a new species belonging to the genus Anamartus Jel. , recently established and revised by JELINEK (1976): Anamartus jelineki sp.n. Male. Length: 2.9 mm; breadth: 1.4 mm. Head closely and coarsely granular. Pronotum 1.34 times wider than long, widest at posterior angles. Sides converging anteriorly as in A. aurosericeus (Reitt.), moderately explanate around the roundly obtuse posterior angles. Base of pronotum deeply and widely arcuately emarginate besides posterior angles, truncate against scutellum. Disc of pronotum with globular granulae nearly equal in size to eye facets, on an average separated by 0.5 to 1 diameter. Spaces between them smooth and shining. Elytra 1.4 times wider than long, somewhat depressed around the nearly semicircular scutellum. Punctures nearly equal in size to eye facets, on an average separated by one diameter; spaces between them lightly and finely reticulate, somewhat dull. Anterior tarsi lightly wider than anterior tibiae, nearly as in male of A. appli (Ganglb. ), brown; middle tibiae moderately but .iistinctly enlarged and explanated at the apex, with tarsi nearly as wide as them. Posterior femora somewhat big, enlarged, nearly as in A. appli (Ganglb. ). Inner side of posterior tibiae strongly enlarged and flattened at the apex, with prominent, strong acute tooth (fig. 2). Other taxonomical characters as in male of A. appli (Ganglb. ), at least in outward appearance. Male genitalia as figured (figs. 3-5): aedeagus somewhat long, narrow, in dorsal view quite symmetrical (this feature is extraordinary in subfamily Kateretinae , where the aedeagus is always asymmetrical in all other species known to me); parameres very similar to those of A. appli (Ganglb. ). Female unknown. Variability: length of paratypes 2. 6 - 3. 3 mm; breadth: 1.3- 1.7 mm. Type material. Holotype: Ó*, Jordan, Jordan valley, Jericho, m 250, 10. 11. 1958, J. Klapperich leg. , in Hungarian National Museum, Budapest. Paratypes: Jordan, Deh Been, m 700, near Jerash, 2. III. 1958, J. Klapperich leg., 1 S; in my collection; Jordan, near Amman, III. 1977, L. Morel leg. , 1 o, in National Museum, Praha.
