An Asian species, Sacodes martae (Gusakov, 2022), comb. n. (Coleoptera: Scirtidae), described from Moscow (Russia)

Abstract

A systematic position of Sacodes martae (Gusakov, 2022), comb. n. previously described from Moscow in the genus Elodes Latreille, 1797 is considered. Female genitalia are illustrated for the first time based on paratypes specimens (two females). The genus Sacodes LeConte, 1854 is distributed mainly in Asia (in Russia from Western Siberia to Far East). Isolated records of the species from the City of Moscow may confirm his accidental importation, and that Sacodes martae, probably, is adventive species for European part of Russia
