Kirejtshuk, A. G.: New species of the genus Physoronia from the Far East and Kryzhanovskiella gen. n. from Australia, with taxonomic notes on the Pocadius complex (Coleoptera: Nitidulidae)
122 A. G. Kirejtshuk two species share some characters, which could be regarded as traces of ancient isolation from the Indo-Malayan species and used to erect a new genus for these species (Kryzhanovskiella gen. n. is proposed for this purpose). After re-examination of the type specimen of Omositoidea gigantea SCHAUFUSS, 1892, an inconsistency in the original author's diagnosis was clarified, and its similarity to members of the Pocadius complex was suggested (KlREJTSHUK & POINAR, in preparation). Thus, this complex should include the following genera: Atarphia REITTER, 1884, Hebasculinus KlREJTSHUK, 1992, Hebascus ERICHSON, 1843, Hyleopocadius JELÍNEK, 1977, Niliodes MURRAY, 1868, Kryzhanovskiella gen. n., Omositoidea SCHAUFUSS, 1892, Physoronia REITTER, 1884 (= Lordyrodes REITTER, 1884, syn. n., Pocadioides GANGLBAUER, 1899, syn. n., Osotima REBMANN, 1944), Pocadites REITTER, 1884, Pocadius ERICHSON, 1843, Pseudoplatychora GROUVELLE, 1890, Teichostethus SHARP, 1891 (misprinted as "Trichostethus"). Physoronia taiwanensis sp. n. (Figs 1-6) Type material - "TAIWAN, Nantou county, Rinnci Nature Conservation Area, between Meifeng and Tsuifeng", "from tree trunk at night, 16.XI.2002, L. Ronkay & O. Merkl" (holotype, male, Hungarian Natural History Museum, and 36 paratypes, Hungarian Natural History Museum, Natural History Museum in London, Zoological Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences, St. Petersburg, and Taiwan Forestry Research Institute, Taipei); "TAIWAN, Ilan county, Fushan Botanical Garden, from gilled mushrooms, 8-11 .IV. 2002,0. Merkl" (one paratype, Hungarian Natural History Museum). Description of male (holotype) - This new species is rather similar to Physoronia explanata REITTER, 1884. Therefore, some characters shared by both species are omitted in the description below. Length 4.6, width 2.7, height 1.3 mm. Rather convex dorsally and slightly so ventrally; reddish with some infuscations on pronotal disk, lateral and apical parts of elytra (prescutellar area of elytra concolorous with most parts of body) and with rather dark antennái club; somewhat shining; dorsum with moderately dense, moderately long, recumbent and slightly conspicuous hairs, slightly longer than distance between their insertions; besides, the dorsum with sparser, longer, suberect and much more conspicuous golden yellowish hairs (arcuate in lateral view), forming longitudinal rows on elytra, and dispersed groups with somewhat denser hairs; underside with thin and inconspicuous hairs. Labrum with transversely truncate outline and without excision between lobes (lobes only separated by a median suture). Antennái club nearly twice as long as wide, with inner part of antennomere 10 somewhat expanded posteriorly. Distance between procoxae as narrow as that between mesocoxae and almost half as broad as that between metacoxae (the latter subequal to width of antennái club). Pygidium very broadly rounded at apex. Anal sclerite with paramedial tubercles. Aedeagus heavily sclerotized with well-outlined sclerites of inner sac of penis. Female - Differs from male only in absence of anal sclerite, exposed from under pygidium. Ovipositor well sclerotized.
