Abstract

The tribe Sisyphini sensu stricto Mulsant, 1842 comprises only three genera, the widespread Sisyphus Latreille, 1807 and Neosisyphus Müller, 1942, and the Mauritius endemic, Nesosisyphus Vinson, 1946. In southern Africa, Sisyphus and Neosisyphus are represented by five species groups in each genus. Together, they comprise a total of 33 valid species, of which six are new: Sisyphus auricomus sp. n; Sisyphus australis sp. n ; Sisyphus bicuariensis sp. n; Sisyphus inconspicuus sp. n; Sisyphus swazi sp. n; and Neosisyphus tembyi sp. n. A further Southern African species, Sisyphus crispatus Gory, 1833, is proposed as a nomen dubium. Sisyphus natalensis Balthasar, 1968 (syn. n), and Sisyphus bornemisszanus Endrödi, 1983 (pars) (syn. n) are made synonyms of Sisyphus sordidus Boheman, 1857. Lectotypes and paralectotypes are designated for Sisyphus costatus (Thunberg, 1818); Sisyphus seminulum Gerstaecker, 1871; Sisyphus nanniscus Péringuey, 1901; Sisyphus transvaalensis Péringuey 1901; Neosisyphus spinipes (Thunberg, 1818) and Neosisyphus barbarossa (Wiedemann, 1823). Diagnoses, photographs of habitus and male genitalia, lists of examined material and distribution maps are presented for all species. An identification key to the southern African sisyphine species is provided.

文章标题南部非洲金龟甲科金龟甲族的分类学综述(鞘翅目:金龟甲科)及新种描述

Sisyphini senso-strictoMulsant部落，1842年，仅包括三个属，广泛分布的SisyphusLatreille，1807年和NeosisyphusMüller，1942年，以及毛里求斯特有的NesosiphusVinson，1946年。在南部非洲，西西弗斯和新西西弗斯每属有五个物种群。它们总共包括33个有效物种，其中6个是新物种：金西西弗。n南方西西弗。n双木西西弗。n不显眼的西西弗。n西西弗。n和新西西弗。n.另一个南部非洲物种，脆叶西西弗，1833年，被认为是一个名称dubium。Sisyphus natalensis Balthasar，1968（syn.n）和Sisyphs bornemiszanus Endrödi，1983（pars）（syn.n）是Sisyphus-sordidus-Boheman，1857的同义词。肋西西弗的Lectotype和Paraectotype被指定（Thunberg，1818）；西西弗斯神学院Gerstaecker，1871年；南希西西弗，1901年；西西弗跨性别Péringuey 1901；spinipes新西西弗（Thunberg，1818）和barbarossa新西弗斯（Wiedemann，1823）。提供了所有物种的诊断、栖息地和男性生殖器的照片、检查材料清单和分布图。提供了南部非洲剑麻属物种的鉴定钥匙。

期刊介绍： Insect Systematics & Evolution (ISE) publishes original papers on all aspects of systematic entomology and the evolutionary history of both extant and extinct insects and related groups. Priority is given to taxonomic revisions and phylogenetic studies employing morphological and molecular data. ISE also welcomes reviews and syntheses that can appeal to a wide community of systematic entomologists. Single species descriptions, regional checklists, and phylogenetic studies based on few taxa or single molecular markers will generally not be accepted.
