Journal Title: Journal of Insect Biodiversity - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 7
Abstract
Species of the genus Xorides Latreille, 1809 in the Ukrainian Carpathians are reviewed. All eight recorded species are new for the studied region. X alpestris (Habermehl, 1903), X. brachylabis (Kriechbaumer, 1889), X. csikii Clement, 1938, X. irrigator (Fabricius 1793), and X. niger (Pfeffer, 1913) are recorded as new to the Ukrainian fauna. Diagnostic features and illustrations of species are provided. Seasonal dynamics and high-altitude zone distribution of Xorides species in the Ukrainian Carpathians are discussed.
