New net-winged beetles (Coleoptera: Lycidae) from Indochina, with synonymic and taxonomic notes

Abstract

A new tribe, Vikhrevini tr. n., a new genus, Vikhrevia gen. n., and nine new species, Vikhrevia ludificator sp. n., Dilophotes flabellicornis sp. n., D. angustipennis sp. n., D. rubrovestitus sp. n., Mesolycus fedorenkoi sp. n., M. rubromarginatus sp. n., Macrolycus holzschuhi sp. n., Cerceros chapaensis sp. n. and C. drymophilus sp. n., are described from Indochina. Scarelus cibodasensis Malohlava et Bocák, 2011, syn. n., is synonymized with S. luchti Kazantsev et Yang, 1999, nom. rev. The validity of the genus Cerceros Kraatz, 1879, nom. rev., which was considered to be a synonym of Macrolycus Waterhouse, 1878, is confirmed. Phylogenetic relationships of Vikhrevini tr. n. are discussed.
