AI Article Synopsis
- The Bostrichidae family consists of up to 600 species of beetles globally, with nearly 90 species found in China.
- Recent research highlights a lack of attention to the Bostrichidae in taxonomic studies on the Chinese mainland since the 1940s, indicating a need for more fieldwork.
- This study reports two new species of powder-post beetles identified in China for the first time, along with new distribution records for 18 other species in the Bostrichidae family.
Article Abstract
Background: The Bostrichidae is a small family of Coleoptera, with up to 600 described species all over the world. Almost 90 species of the family have been recorded in China at present and several new species of powder-post beetles have been described in recent years. Since the 1940s, the family Bostrichidae has become a neglected group in the taxonomy research of the Chinese mainland compared with its extensive territorial and super complex ecological diversity. Thus, there is need for more field specimen collection and in-depth taxonomic study.
New Information: In this study, two powder-post beetles species (Lesne, 1910) and Lesne, 1937, are recorded for the first time from China. New provincial distribution records of another 18 Bostrichidae also listed.
