Notes on the subspecies of Plagionotus arcuatus (Linnaeus, 1758) with description of a new subspecies from Iran (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae).

This paper reviews the lower-ranked taxa within the species Plagionotus arcuatus (Linnaeus, 1758) and describes a new subspecies P. arcuatus shirazensis based on specimens from Iran. Some comments are made on the morphology of the subspecies, and a key, together with an exhaustive photographic documentation, is provided for their identification.

Remarks on Xylomedes Lesne, 1902 with description of a new species from Iran (Coleoptera: Bostrichidae, Apatinae).

Xylomedes bidasi n. sp., hitherto known only from Iran, is described as a new species.

Palms and pollen beetles: two new anthophilous beetle species of Meligethinus from Mozambique (Coleoptera: Nitidulidae: Meligethinae).

The genus Meligethinus Grouvelle, 1906 represents a small group of pollen beetles, including some twenty species distributed from southern Palaearctic areas to northern Oriental and Afrotropical regions. All constituent species appear to be strictly associated as larvae and adults to male inflorescences of palms (Monocots: Arecaceae). Two new species of this genus (Meligethinus mondlanei sp.

New species and records of pollen and sap beetles for Iran (Coleoptera: Kateretidae, Nitidulidae).

During recent expeditions in North and Southwest Iran, 10 species of Kateretidae and Nitidulidae (Coleoptera) were found. One species of Kateretidae, Brachyleptus bicoloratus Reitter, 1896, and three nitidulid species, Afrogethes schilskyi (Reitter, 1897), Stachygethes khnzoriani (Kirejtshuk, 1979), and S. nigerrimus (Rosenhauer, 1856) are recorded for the first time for the Iranian fauna (the latter is also a new record for Asia).

A new species of the genus Glischrochilus Reitter (Coleoptera: Nitidulidae: Cryptarchinae) from China.

The cosmopolitan genus Glischrochilus Reitter, 1873 (Nitidulidae: Cryptarchinae) is distributed in Holarctic and Oriental regions. According to the most recent catalogue (Jelínek & Audisio 2007), 32 species are known from the Palaearctic region. In China the genus is represented by 13 species, most of which were described by Jelínek (1975, 1982, 1999) and Lasoń (2009).

A checklist of the Kateretidae and Nitidulidae of Iran (Coleoptera: Cucujoidea).

The current knowledge of the geographic distribution of short-winged flower beetles and sap beetles (Kateretidae and Nitidulidae, respectively) from Iran is summarized. In total, 84 species of Nitidulidae (in 22 genera and 5 subfamilies: Epuraeinae, Carpophilinae, Cryptarchinae, Nitidulinae, Meligethinae) and 6 species of Kateretidae (in 4 genera: Brachyleptus Motschulsky, Brachypterolus Grouvelle, Brachypterus Kugelann, Kateretes Herbst) are listed. Brachyleptus discolor Reitter, Brachypterus glaber (Newman) (both Kateretidae), Epuraea distincta (Grimmer), Soronia oblonga (Brisout), Lamiogethes bidens (Brisout), Lamiogethes medvedevi (Kirejtshuk), Sagittogethes devillei (Grouvelle) and Xerogethes rotundicollis (Brisout) (Nitidulidae) are new records for Iran.
