What new do we know about Notiophilus persicus Breit, 1914 (Coleoptera: Carabidae)?
Journal Title: Baltic Journal of Coleopterology - Year 2012, Vol 12, Issue 2
Abstract
N. persicus Breit is a little-known species, which, to date, has not been exhaustively described in the scientific literature. While carrying out the examination of the genus represented in more than 60 museum collections, the author of the present article has ascertained only 4 specimens of this species. The article describes the appearance of N. persicus Breit, a special emphasis being put on the male’s morphology and the peculiarities of its genitalia, since the species has been known only on the basis of females’ description before. The key for the identification of the species similar to N. persicus Breit has been worked out. New data on the distribution of N. persicus are published, indicating it for the new locality in Turkmenistan for the first time.
