Abstract
The nitidus species group of the bee genus Scrapter Lepeletier & Serville, 1828 is redefined, revised and 15 species are described as new for science: S. caeruleus sp. nov. ♀, S. confusus sp. nov. ♀♂, S. convexoides sp. nov. ♂, S. convexus sp. nov. ♀♂, S. crassipunctatus sp. nov. ♀♂, S. felicis sp. nov. ♀♂, S. flavipunctatus sp. nov. ♀♂, S. imparilis sp. nov. ♀♂, S. littoralis sp. nov. ♀, S. longicornis sp. nov. ♂, S. montanus sp. nov. ♀♂, S. mpumalangensis sp. nov. ♀♂, S. obtusus sp. nov. ♀♂, S. perpunctatulus sp. nov. ♂ and S. variabilis sp. nov. ♀♂. The previously unknown males of S. divergens (Friese, 1925), S. semirufus Cockerell, 1932 and S. perpunctatus Cockerell, 1933 are described for the first time. All currently known 28 species of the S. nitidus species group are redescribed, imaged and included in a key to facilitate their identification.
期刊介绍:
EJT is a fully refereed, international, fully electronic Open Access journal in descriptive taxonomy, covering subjects in zoology, entomology, botany (in its broadest sense), and palaeontology. EJT-papers must be original and adhere to high scientific (content) and technical (language, artwork, etc.) standards. Manuscripts that are clearly substandard in either of these categories will not be sent out for review. EJT is supported by a consortium of European Natural History Institutes, but its scope is global. Both authorship and geographical region of study need not be European. Authors are, however, strongly encouraged to involve European Natural History collections by consulting material or by depositing specimens (e.g. types and figured material) related to their published paper in the collection of a European Natural History Institute.
