Ordo: Coleoptera
Familia: Carabidae
Name
LaFerté-Sénectère, 1851 – Wikispecies link – Pensoft Profile
- Nanodiodes lilliputana (W.J. Macleay, 1888)
- Anatrichis lilliputana W.J. Macleay, 1888
Material Examined
Syntypes [ANIC], type locality, King Sound, Western Australia. Additional material in ANIC and WAM examined.
Notes
Nanodiodes Bousquet, 1996 was proposed by Bousquet (1996)[1] to replace Nanodes Habu, 1956 and he moved all species that where included by Moore et al. (1987)[2] in Anatrichus LeConte, 1853 into this genus except for Anatrichis lilliputana, which Bousquet had not studied. Although some subsequent catalogs (e.g., Lorenz 2005[3]) treated this species as Nanodiodes lilliputana, there is no indication that the character states were confirmed. I examined the syntypes and found the following: submentum with pairs of setae at the lateral edge; mesocoxa with a posterior seta and; metatrochanter without a seta. This combination is consistent with Nanodiodes, confirming that it shares the putative synapomorphic character states with species currently included in that genus. Anatrichis is therefore not found in the Australian fauna.
