AI Article Synopsis
- The study revises the Pterostichus (Nialoe) asymmetricus species using detailed analysis of their genital structures.
- Four new species within this group are introduced, including P. (N.) ovaliphallus and P. (N.) fujimurai ibukiyamanus.
- A cladistic analysis shows that a related group, Daisenilaoe, is part of the Nialoe clade, and the paper discusses how these species evolved and spread.
Article Abstract
Pterostichus (Nialoe) asymmetricus Bates and its allies are revised based on the membranous parts of their genitalia. Four new taxa, P. (N.) ovaliphallus sp. nov., P. (N.) fujimurai ibukiyamanus ssp. nov., P. (N.) shotaroi kiimontanus ssp. nov., and P. (N.) basilobatus sp. nov. are described. A cladistic analysis based on 31 morphological characters reveals that Daisenilaoe (s. str.) Nakane and Straneo is included as one clade within Nialoe (s. str.). The speciation and dispersal process of this species group are also discussed.
