ANNALES HISTORICO-NATURALES MUSEI NATIONALIS HUNGARICI Tomus 62 PARS ZOOLOGICA 1970. Ergebnisse der zoologischen Forschungen von Dr. Z. Kaszab in der Mongolei. 225. Endomychidae (Coleoptera) By H. F. STROHECKER, Miami, U.S.A. Only two species of Endomychidae were taken by Dr. KASZAB in the Mongolian Republic, both referable to the subgenus Golgia of Lycoperdina. Study of these Mongolian specimens has involved comparison with material from other areas and inclusion of notes on the several species of Golgia seems appropriate. Lycoperdina (Golgia) succineta (LINNAEUS) Figs. 1-4. Systema Nat. Ed. XII, p. 573 (1767), Silpha. Comparison of Mongolian specimens with material from Germany, Austria, Bohemia and Yugoslavia has not revealed to me any consistent differences. The nuances in the figures of aedeagi are due to slight differences of pose under the camera lucida. While I have not seen the single types of L. jakovleui SEMENOV from Barnaul, Siberia or L. crassicornis REITTER from the Transylvanian Alps, I believe the two names to be synonyms of succineta. L. pallida GEBLER, as conjectured by GERSTAECKER, was probably based on a teneral specimen of succineta. The names fasciata (FAB.), disca GERST. and hurneralis SCHILSKY, listed as varietal, pertain more to coloration of cabinet specimens than to analyses of populations.
