Gerstmeier, R.,
2002. Generic concept of clerid taxa related to Clerus (Coleoptera: Cleridae: Clerinae).
Entomol. Probl. 32(2): 99-111.
The preliminary generic conception of genera related to the genus Clerus
Geoffroy, 1762, yields a so-called
Clerus series, which comprises three generic groups: Thanasimus group,
Stigmatium group, and Omadius group. For defining generic groups and/or generic rank
I relied mainly on structural differences of antennae. A new genus Falsomadius gen.nov.
is described. The following new synonyms, new combinations and new statuses are established:
Cyclotomocerus Kuwert, 1894,
Dasyceroclerus Kuwert, 1894,
Microastigmus Pic, 1938,
Phaeocyclotomus Kuwert, 1894,
Rhytidoclerus Kuwert, 1894 and
Xestoclerus Chapin, 1924 are synonymous with
Stigmatium Gray, 1832.
Astigmus Kuwert, 1894 is in part synonymous with
Operculiphorus Kuwert, 1894:
Operculiphorus nebulosus (Spinola, 1844) =
Astigmus (Omadius) nebulosus (Spinola,
1844), comb.nov. Several Stigmatium species are synonymous with Clerus
Geoffroy, 1762: Clerus bimaculatus
(Blackburn, 1897) = Stigmatium bimaculatum
Blackburn, 1897, comb.nov., Clerus gilberti
(White, 1849) = Stigmatium gilberti
White, 1849, comb.nov., Clerus mutillaecolor
(White, 1849) = Stigmatium mutillaecolor
White, 1849, comb.nov., Clerus philippinarus
(Gorham, 1876) = Stigmatium philippinarum
Gorham, 1876, comb.nov., Clerus pilosellus
(Gorham, 1878) = Stigmatium pilosellum
Gorham, 1876, comb.nov. Pyrrhostigmatium
Kraatz, 1899 is resurrected as a genus. Some Omadius
species are synonymous with Falsomadius: Falsomadius aurulentus
(Heller, 1921) = Omadius aurulentus
Heller, 1921, comb.nov.,
Falsomadius dohertyi (Kuwert, 1894) =
Omadius dohertyi Kuwert, 1894, comb.nov.,
Falsomadius nitidus (Schenkling, 1898)
= Omadius nitidus Schenkling, 1898, comb.nov., Falsomadius prioceroides
(Thomson, 1860) = Omadius prioceroides
Thomson, 1860, comb.nov. Two Omadius
species are synonymous with Corynommadius
Schenkling, 1899: Corynommadius bennigseni
(Schenkling, 1912) =
Omadius bennigseni Schenkling, 1912
comb.nov., Corynommadius brunneus (Chapin,
1924) = Omadius brunneus Chapin, 1924 comb.nov.

2002. Seasonal flight activity of Pristiphora decipiens,
Pristiphora leucopodia and Sharliphora nigella (Hymenoptera: Tenthredinidae) in the
eastern part of the Czech Republic. Entomol. Probl. 32(2): 112.
The flight periods of Pristiphora decipiens, Pristiphora leucopodia and
Sharliphora nigella were studied using Malaise traps as well as yellow sticky
boards situated in young spruce forests in the eastern part of the Czech Republic in 1998–2000.
Flight period of Pristiphora decipiens males lasted from the end of April to the middle of May
with the peak of activity in the first decade of May. Flight period of Pristiphora leucopodia
males lasted from the end of April to the second half of May with the peak of activity in the first
half of May. Flight period of Sharliphora nigella started in the middle of April and ended in
the middle of May in males or at the end in females. The peak of activity occurred at the end of
April in males or in the first half of May in females.
Schillhammer, H.,
2002. Studies on the genera Pammegus and Bombylodes (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae).
Entomol. Probl. 32(2): 113-128.
The paper presents a first attempt at a revision of the genera Pammegus
Fauvel and Bombylodes
Fauvel. Eight new species are described:
Pammegus balkei (Singapore), P. deceptivus (India), P. kachin (Myanmar),
P. kinabalu (Malaysia: Sabah), P. minutus (Brunei), P. lateralis (India),
P. shibatai (Taiwan) and P. siamensis (Thailand). Bombylodes mimeticus
Fauvel is redescribed. The aedeagi of all species
represented by males, as well as the aedeagi of all unnamed male specimens, are illustrated. Color
photographs are provided for four representative species.
Hlaváč, P., Sugaya, H. & Zhou, H. ,
2002. A new species of the genus Batristilbus (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae: Pselaphinae)
from China.
Entomol. Probl. 32(2): 129-131.
Batristilbus monstrotibialis sp.nov. from north-eastern China is described,
illustrated and compared with related species; and a key of all known species is provided.
Solodovnikov, A. & Štourač, P.,
2002. Redescription, new synonym, and revised distribution of Quedius (Raphirus)
kirklarensis from northern Anatolia (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae: Staphylininae).
Entomol. Probl. 32(2): 133-137.
A redescription, distribution and bionomic data are provided for Quedius kirklarensis
Korge, 1971. A new synonym, Quedius drannazensis
Coiffait, 1978 is established for this species. A
significant variability of the number and arrangement of the sensory peg setae of the paramere is
observed in Q. kirklarensis. Considering the common usage of this genital character for
species level diagnostics and species group division of Quedius (in the influential monograph
of Coiffait 1978a), this particular case of
considerable infraspecific variability is discussed.

Krno, I. & Strechayová S. 2002. New locality of Isogenus nubecula and
Amphinemura borealis in central Europe (Plecoptera: Perlodidae, Nemouridae).
Entomol. Probl. 32(2): 138.
New localities of Isogenus nubecula Newman,
1833 and Amphinemura borealis (Morton, 1894)
were discovered in NW Slovakia.
Matalin, A.V.,
2002. A new species of Cylindera, subgenus Verticina from northern Borneo
(Coleoptera, Carabidae: Cicindelinae).
Entomol. Probl. 32(2): 139-142.
A new species, Cylindera (Verticina) dayaka sp.nov., is described from Kinabalu
mountain, northern Borneo. The distinctions from related species is discussed.
Lackner, T.,
2002. Neopachylopus pakistanicus, a new species from southern Pakistan (Coleoptera: Histeridae).
Entomol. Probl. 32(2): 143-144.
Neopachylopus pakistanicus sp.nov. is described and figured. Its taxonomic position is
discussed.
Vidlička, Ľ.,
2002. The new cockroach species from the genus Chorisoserrata from Laos (Blattaria: Blattellidae:
Pseudophyllodromiinae).
Entomol. Probl. 32(2): 145-147.
The genus Chorisoserrata Roth, 1998 contained
up to now only two species, Ch. apicalis Hanitsch
from Sumatra and Ch. sagittaria Hanitsch
(only male known) from Vietnam and East Borneo. The male and female of third species
Chorisoserrata jendeki from Laos are described here. Unlike Ch. sagittaria the male of
Ch. jendeki have developed tergal gland on abdominal tergum 7. The key of the genus
Chorisoserrata is presented.

2002. Systematic revision of the genus Graphelmis (Coleoptera: Elmidae) II.
Graphelmis bandukani species group.
Entomol. Probl. 32(2): 149-161.
The new species group Graphelmis bandukanensis is designated within the
genus Graphelmis Deleve, 1968, comprising six
new species: G. bandukanensis sp.nov., G. punggulensis sp.nov., G. minuta
sp.nov., G. berbulu sp.nov from Malaysia, G. dembickyi sp.nov. from Philippines and
G. sulawesiensis sp.nov. from Indonesia. The habitus and detail drawings of characteristic
structures of genitalia and pregenital segments are given.

2002. Notes on Uralohelmis (Coleoptera: Elmidae).
Entomol. Probl. 32(2): 163-164.
Uralohelmis Roubal, 1940 (Coleoptera: Elmidae)
is synonymized with Macrelmis Motschulsky, 1859.
A lectotype is designated for Uralohelmis jureceki Roubal, 1940.
Uralohelmis jureceki is transferred to Macrelmis. The provenance of the types of
Uralohelmis jureceki is regarded as doubtful; it is believed that the type specimens were in
fact collected in the New World and mislabelled.

Reitter from south-eastern Turkey is given for the
first time and the species is figured out.

2002. A note to chemical defence reaction in Pseudoophonus rufipes (Coleoptera, Carabidae) and
their impact on human skin.
Entomol. Probl. 32(2): 167-168.
In summer 1998 and 1999, during daily marking of 50–350
individual Carabids [mostly Pseudoophonus rufipes (
De Geer, 1774)], a sudden strong heating of the ventral body part followed
by the secretion of an acidic defensive secretion was observed in some P. rufipes in the hot
evenings (about 26–28 °C). This reaction resembled the defence reaction in the bombardier beetles,
especially Pheropsophus spp. The repeated exposure of the fingertips to the secretion of
P. rufipes provoked an erythema, followed by dotted hemorrhages, developing later to
spongiotic edema and resulting in the formation of flat intraepidermal vesicles. Finally, the upper
necrotized and keratinized layer sloughed off the bottom of former vesicles and, due to previous
hemorrhages, it was occasionally coloured by dark brown spots with yellow
edges. The lesions, resembling reactive spongiform dermatitis, healed within 7–10 days by a
transient hyperkeratotic response.
