Angelini, F.: Anisotomini from the Caucasus (Coleoptera, Leiodidae)
MATERIAL AND METHODS The type material of 26 of the 32 species treated have been examined, types of those not examined include Amphycillis , Anisotoma , Cyrtoplastus successor REITTER (typus not found), and Agathidium seminul'im LINNAEUS. All the types of species described from the Caucasus have been examined. I have personally verified the presence in the Caucasus of 29 species while the following 3 have been taken from literature sources: Agathidium haemorrhoum ERICHSON (in my opinion its presence in the Caucasus requires confirmation), Cryptoplastus successor REITTER (it is probably synonymous with Cyrtoplastus seriepunctatus BRISOUT but at present REITTER's type cannot be located to confirm this suspicion) and Agathidium nigrinum STURM. Localities of the material studied are listed in the section "Collecting localities" and their geographical situation is indicated in Fig. 126. The number in parentheses given at each locality corresponds to the number given to each species in the systematic part. * * * Acknowledgements - I am indebted to the directors and staff of various European museums for locating material in their collections from this region and making it available for study. I am particularly grateful to them for the loan of so many types. My thanks are also due to the private coleopterists for loan of material from their collections.
