Descripción de una nueva especie de <i>Mylabris</i> Fabricius, 1875 del subgénero <i>Ammabris</i> Kuzin, 1954 de Marruecos y redescripción de <i>Mylabris (Ammabris) boghariensis</i> Raffray, 1873 (Coleoptera, Meloidae)

Abstract: RESUMENEl subgénero Ammabris Kuzin, 1954 agrupa a un pequeño conjunto de especies del género Mylabris Fabricius, 1775, fenéticamente afines entre sí y asociadas a zonas semiáridas y desérticas del norte de África, Oriente Próximo y Asia Central. Una de las especies menos conocidas de este subgénero, al que fue atribuida con dudas, es Mylabris boghariensis Raffray, 1873, conocida únicamente de la localidad tipo en Argelia. En este trabajo, tras estudiar un sintipo de M. boghariensis, se amplía la descripción mo… Show more

“…The general appearance of C. armass resembles that of some North African species of Ammabris , particularly Ammabris boghariensis (Raffray, 1873) and, to a lesser extent, A. avilai (Ruiz & García-París, 2008). The three species are similar in the following features: elytral coloration, mandible morphology (straight and pointed outer margin), the presence of a red spot on the frons, pronotal sculpture (a central longitudinal groove with smooth areas lateral to it), and the overall silvery setation on the integument (see Ruiz and García-París 2008). However, the new species can be assigned to Croscherichia , and distinguished from Ammabris , by the following characters: the morphology of the external metatibial spur (subcylindrical, a little broadened distally, and truncated at the apex); the lack of a modified antero-central area in the mesosternum (“ mesosternal scutum ” sensu Pardo Alcaide 1948, 1950, 1954a, 1954c) that presents an angulate anterior margin; male genitalia with narrow parameres but without longitudinal groves along the parameral lobes; and the presence of two subequal, clearly separated teeth in the ventral region of the median lobe that are close to, but well distanced from, the apex.…”

“…The fauna of Mylabrini is relatively well known in Morocco (e.g., Martínez de la Escalera 1909, 1914, Pardo Alcaide 1954a, 1954b, 1954c, 1961, 1969, Kocher 1956, 1964, 1969, Ruiz 2000, 2004, Ruiz and García-París 2008, 2014, Bologna 2008); therefore, it is remarkable that the new species remained undescribed for so long, an indication of the ongoing lack of zoological knowledge for the arid and semi-arid eastern regions of the country. The imaginal phenology of the new species is restricted to the end of summer, an unusual period for entomological surveys of North African arid zones, which may explain its late discovery.…”

“…discussed the relationships of this species. Th e subgenus Ammabris was partially studied by Ruiz & García-París (2008), but its revision is necessary considering that the position of some Central Asian species remains uncertain and a species from Syria is undescribed (Bologna in lit. ).…”

“…La tribu Mylabrini, ampliamente distribuida por el viejo mundo (Bologna & Pinto, 2002), se encuentra representada en Marruecos por 5 géneros, Actenodia Laporte, 1840, Ceroctis Marseul, 1840, Croscherichia Pardo Alcaide, 1850, Hycleus Latreille, 1817 Mylabris Fabricius, 1775, que agrupan a un total de 52 especies (Bologna, 2008;Ruiz & García-París, 2008). Marruecos muestra, con diferencia, la mayor diversidad específica de Mylabrini del mediterráneo occidental (seguido de Argelia, con 46 especies), entre la que además destaca un componente endémico elevado (21.1%, 11 especies; datos extraídos de Bologna, 2008y Ruiz & García-París, 2008 en relación a otros países de su entorno geográfico.…”

“…El género Hycleus, de amplia extensión por las regiones etiópica, paleártica y oriental (Bologna & Pinto, 2002), cuenta con 17 especies en terri torio marroquí, de las cuales casi un tercio (29.4%, 5 especies) son endémicas del país, de manera que integra el mayor porcentaje de endemismos, seguido de Mylabris (26%, 6 especies de un total de 23) (véase Bologna, 2008;Ruiz & García-París, 2008). En ge neral, las especies de Mylabrini exclusivas de Marruecos son muy poco conocidas, incluso en lo concerniente a aspectos básicos, tales como variabi lidad morfológica, alfa-taxonomía, distribución geográfica y autoecología (e.g.…”
