Abstract

A new species, Ateuchus tona, from the eastern Andes of Colombia is described and illustrated. The unique set of characters of this species, particularly the unusual sexual dimorphism in the sixth abdominal ventrite, which is largely expanded medially only in males, clearly separates this species from all other known species of Ateuchus. The species was found in 2004 during a single sampling event in a protected area. Since in Colombia most of the cloud forests are subject to extensive deforestation, additional sampling is needed to gather information about the species' conservation status. Additionally, two species, A. parvus and A. freudei, new to Colombia are presented rising the number of the Ateuchus species known for the country to eleven.

哥伦比亚安第斯地区一新种及国内新种记录(鞘翅目:金龟甲科)

对哥伦比亚安第斯山脉东部的一个新物种——托纳阿图胡斯（Ateuchus tona）进行了描述和说明。该物种的一系列独特特征，特别是第六腹腹肌中不寻常的两性异形，这在很大程度上只在雄性中向内侧扩展，清楚地将该物种与所有其他已知的无尾类物种区分开来。该物种于2004年在一个保护区的一次采样活动中被发现。由于在哥伦比亚，大多数云雾林都遭到了大规模的砍伐，因此需要额外的采样来收集有关该物种保护状况的信息。此外，哥伦比亚新出现的两个物种，A.parvus和A.freudei，使该国已知的Ateuchus物种数量增至11种。

期刊介绍： Annales Zoologici Fennici publishes mainly original research reports, but also in-depth reviews and commentaries on all aspects of animal ecology and evolution, and fields related to them. Our aim is to promote papers which focus on the interactions among various components in the past and present environments by using integrative and cross-disciplinary approaches. This may be achieved by employing tools from different fields of research, such as (but not restricted to): ecology and paleoecology, molecular ecology and phylogeography, conservation biology, human-induced contemporary evolution and wildlife management, animal behaviour and interactions (including recognition systems and mechanisms), paleontology (except systematics and taxonomy) and evolution, bioenergetics.
