Taxonavigation

Ordo: Coleoptera

Genus: Lycocerus

Name

Lycocerus swampingatus (Pic, 1916) comb. n. – Wikispecies link – Pensoft Profile

• Cantharis swampingata Pic 1916: 4.

Type material examined

Cantharis swampingata: Holotype ♂ (MNHN): [p]“Swamping \ China”, [h]“swampingata \ Pic”, [h]“n. sp.”, [h]“Lycocerus \ swampingatus(Pic) \ det. Y. X. Yang, 2009”, [p]“HOLOTYPUS”.

Distribution

China (Sichuan).

Remarks

The type specimen of this species was damaged seriously, lacking the abdomen, thorax, all legs, one elytron and part of head, but its aedeagus has been kept well, of which dorsal plates of parameres are separated (Figs 19−21), which is a diagnostic character of Lycocerus (Okushima, 2005). This species is similar to Lycocerus canthariformis (Ishida, 1986) (located in Japan) in the pronotum, which is rounded, wider than long, lateral margins are arcuate and posterior angles rounded, but the aedeagus is differs from that of the latter. Also, it is related to Lycocerus pubicollis (Heyden, 1889) in the aedeagus, but obviously different from the latter in the pronotum. Consequently, we suggest the following new combination: Lycocerus swampingatus (Pic, 1916), comb. n.
