“…Of these, 62 terminals corresponded to described species, treated as one terminal per species, summarizing data gathered from specimens of collections. Typhlocharis zaballosi Serrano and Aguiar, was split into two terminal taxa to explore the implications of certain morphological characters that differ significantly between two populations (Serrano and Aguiar, ). Newly collected specimens used for DNA sequencing (hologenophores) were vouchered and coded individually within the initial morphological matrix (adding 443 terminals).…”

“…In contrast, Typhlocharis is the most diverse genus of the tribe and shows a high variation in many morphological traits over the 62 described species (Serrano and Aguiar, ; Zaballos et al., ). It is endemic to the Mediterranean region (Western Palaearctic), distributed through the Iberian Peninsula (Spain and Portugal) and North Africa (Morocco and Tunisia).…”

Typhlocharis is the most diverse eyeless endogean ground beetle genus known to date, with 62 species all endemic to the West Mediterranean region. The lineage is characterized by a conservative and singular body plan within Carabidae that contrasts with a high morphological diversity in many traits. We provide an exhaustive phylogeny of the lineage through the study of 92 morphological characters from all 62 described species and 45 potential new species from 70 additional populations, and the combination of morphological and available molecular data, in the first total evidence phylogenetic approach for a highly diverse endogean lineage. We tracked the evolution of morphological traits over the obtained phylogenies. Results suggest eight morphologically distinct clades, which do not correspond to the species groups proposed formerly. Ancestral state reconstructions and phylogenetic signal analyses of morphological traits revealed that some of the previously key characters to the classification of Typhlocharis, such as the umbilicate series or the apical denticles of elytra, are highly homoplasic, whereas other characters show stronger phylogenetic signal, including structures in the antennae, gula, pronotum and last abdominal ventrite. This evidence supports the split of Typhlocharis into three genera: Lusotyphlus gen. nov.; Typhlocharis Dieck, 1869 and Microcharidius Coiffait, 1969 (revalidated), forming the subtribe Typhlocharina Jeanne, 1973.

“…Since these publications, and apart from faunistic works (Vives & Vives 1976, 1999Baehr 1986;Ortiz et al 1989;Serrano et al 1990;Vives 1998;among others), no further relevant contributions to the knowledge of the group in the Ibero-Balearic region have been made. On the contrary, more diverse Trechinae tribes in the territory have been widely studied in the last decades (for Anillini Jeannel, 1937, see Zaballos & Banda 2001;Ortuño & Sendra 2010Ortuño & Gilgado 2011;Serrano & Aguiar 2014;Pérez-González et al 2017;Pérez-González & Zaballos 2019; among others; for Bembidiini Stephens, 1827, see Ortuño & Toribio 2005; for Trechini Bonelli, 1810, see Faille et al 2011;Ortuño & Jiménez-Valverde 2011;Ortuño & Barranco 2015;Ortuño et al 2017;among others). Meanwhile, studies and revisions of Pogonini fauna have been published from the New Word (Bousquet & Laplante 1997), Korea (Choi et al 2015) and Iran (Azadbakhsh 2019).…”

In the Iberian Peninsula and the Balearic Islands, Pogonini (Coleoptera, Carabidae) is the least species-rich tribe of Trechinae. Nevertheless, the taxon is relatively poorly studied in this territory, and the available records are mostly published in old and/or faunistic works. The present study provides a taxonomic revision of the 3 genera and 11 species of Pogonini occurring in the Ibero-Balearic region, with an identification key, diagnoses and illustrations of their external morphology and aedeagus. The chorology of the species was also studied, and was assessed by obtaining precise records from published papers and the collection localities of the examined material. These data were used to make updated distribution maps (with several new occurrence points) that reveal a strong regionalization of the tribe in the Ibero-Balearic territory. The species occur in humid and saline environments, especially along the meridional and Mediterranean coasts of the Iberian Peninsula and in inner arid localities of eastern Spain. This result agrees with the widely accepted halobiont condition of the group. However, sampling bias must be considered, and new records are expected to be provided from future revisions of collections and new samplings.
