Abstract

Seven new species of the genus Platynectes Régimbart, 1879 from the Solomon Islands are described: Platynectes barana sp. nov., P. mbaole sp. nov., P. popomanaseu sp. nov. (all from Guadalcanal), P. lunga sp. nov. (Guadalcanal and Savo), P. malaita sp. nov. (Malaita), P. makira sp. nov. (Makira) and P. owaraha sp. nov. (Makira and Owaraha). Platynectes insularis J. Balfour-Browne, 1939, described from Vanuatu and the Solomons, currently considered a junior subjective synonym of P. semperi Régimbart, 1899, is reinstituted as a valid species based on its morphology and a molecular analysis by Toussaint et al. (2017). The paratypes of P. insularis from the Solomons are shown to belong to a new species – P. owaraha sp. nov., and, thus, the distribution of P. insularis is restricted to Vanuatu. Habitus and male genitalia are illustrated for all seven new species and P. insularis. A checklist of Dytiscidae so far recorded from the Solomon Islands and Vanuatu is appended.

所罗门群岛Platynectes属的研究综述（鞘翅目：双翅目：龙舌兰科）

1879年，描述了所罗门群岛Platynectes Régimbart属的七个新种：Platynecte barana sp.nov.、P.mbaole sp.nov..、P.popomanaseu sp.nov.[均来自瓜达尔卡纳尔岛]、P.lunga sp.nov.%（瓜达尔卡纳尔岛和萨沃岛）、P.malaita sp.nov.\（malaita）、P.makira sp.nov./（makira）和P.owaraha sp.nov.[makira和owaraha]。Platynectes islandis J.Balfour Browne，1939年，描述于瓦努阿图和所罗门群岛，目前被认为是P.semperi-Régimbart的初级主观同义词，1899年，根据其形态和分子分析，Toussaint等人（2017）将其重新确立为有效物种。所罗门群岛的岛叶P.副型属于一个新种——P.owaraha sp.nov.，因此，岛叶P.的分布仅限于瓦努阿图。所有七个新物种和岛叶P.的习性和雄性生殖器都有说明。随函附上所罗门群岛和瓦努阿图迄今记录的Dytiscidae清单。
