Figs 1-3. Internal sac of the aedoeagus: 1 — Xantholinus (Meneidophallus) lichtneckerti sp. n., 2 = Xantholinus (Meneidophallus ) magyaricus sp. n., 3 — Xantholinus (Meneidophallus) pseudobalaton sp. n. Bionomics: the collecting data (shore of the lake, near water, sifted debris under willowtrees, extracted from flood detritus) suggest that it is a stenotopic, hygrophilous, phytodetriticolous species. Distribution: Hungary, where it is possibly endemic. The species is named in honour of the famous Hungarian coleopterologist Ferenc Lichtneckert, who collected a part of the type series. Xantholinus (Meneidophallus) magyaricus sp. n. (Fig. 2) Elongate, slender, head shining black, thorax and elytra pitchy brown, abdomen black, antennae, mouthparts and legs rufotestaceous. Head ovoidal (46 : 33), a little widened behind (30 : 33) from posterior margin of very small and flat compound eyes to the widely rounded posterior angles, surface sparingly but deeply punctured except on midlongitudinal line of vertex, interstices covered by very fine transversal waves, shining. — Antennae longer than head, 2nd and 3rd segments equal in length, 4th-10th segments transversal, gradually thickened apically last segment large, obconical, pointed obtuselly. — P r o n o t u m longer than wide (42 : 30), a little narrowed posteriorly (30 : 25), both of its dorsal rows with 8-10 large punctures, lateral rows with 6-7 punctures among some additional punctures which irregular seated mostly on anterior part, surface smooth and shining, covered only by fine microscopical punctures with trace of fine and nearly indistinct transversal waves at most on fore marginal parts. — Elytra as long as pronotum (42 : 42), a little dilated posteriorly (30 : 31), sides almost parallel, surface less shagreened than in closely related species, but no more shining, spare puncturation not larger but shallower. — A b d o m e n slender, a little widened behind to 6th (visible) segment, then narrowed apically. Surface with fine transversal waves and covered by scattered microscopical
