Abstract
Beetles previously considered to be Ocys harpaloides (Audinet-Serville) from northern Africa, Spain, France, the United Kingdom, France, and Belgium belong to two species. These species can be distinguished using DNA sequences of 28S rDNA, 18S rDNA, COI, CAD, and topoisomerase I. A key, diagnoses, and images are provided to enable identification of specimens based upon characteristics of male and female genitalia, as well as microsculpture and other external structures. Through examination of the holotype of Bembidium harpaloides v. tachysoides Antoine, as well as designation of lectotypes of Bembidion harpaloides Audinet-Serville and Ocys melanocephalus Stephens, and designation of a neotype for Tachis rufescens Guérin-Ménéville, the valid names of the two species were determined to be Ocys harpaloides and Ocys tachysoides (Antoine).
期刊介绍:
Founded in 1857 as Berliner Entomologische Zeitschrift, Deutsche Entomologische Zeitschrift is one of the World''s oldest international journals of systematic entomology. It publishes original research papers in English on the systematics, taxonomy, phylogeny, comparative morphology, and biogeography of insects. Other arthropods are also considered where of relevance to the biology of insects. The geographical scope of the journal is worldwide.
Deutsche Entomologische Zeitschrift (DEZ) is dedicated to provide an open access, high-quality forum to contribute to the documentation of insect species, their distribution, their properties, and their phylogenetic relationships. All submitted manuscripts are subject to peer-review by the leading specialists for the respective topic. The journal is published in open access high-resolution PDF, semantically enriched HTML and machine-readable XML versions.
