Anthocomus (Anthocomus) mongolicus Wittmer 1969

Abstract

? Anthocomus (Anthocomus) mongolicus Wittmer, 1969 Anthocomus mongolicus Wittmer, 1969: 57–58 (Mongolia: Sajn-Šand); Anthocomus (incertae sedis) mongolicus: Mayor 2007: 440. Remarks. The species is known only from the original description taken from a unique female with a distinctive colouration: “ ♀ —Kopf schwarz mit schwachem, bronzenem Schimmer, Vorderkopf gelblich, einschliesslich der Wangen und Mundteile, der dunkle Teil ist von dem hellen nicht in gerader Linie getrennt, sondern die dunkle Färbung rückt über jeder Fühlerwurzel spitzwinklig bis stumpfwinklig nach vorne; Fühler gelb mit den letzten 3 bis 4 Gliedern, hauptsächlich gegen die Spitze, mehr oder weniger gebräunt; Halsschild schwarz mit schwachem bronzenem Schimmer, Seiten breit gelb bis gelblichrosa; Schildchen schwarz; Flügeldecken gelblich, gegen die Spitze oft rosa werdend, Naht äusserst schmal bis zur Mitte oder fast bis zur Spitze dunkel gefärbt; Beine gelb, nur die Klauen und oft auch das letzte Tarsenglied bräunlich. Kopf mit den Augen nur wenig schmäler als der Halsschild, ein schwacher Eindruck auf der Stirne zwischen den.Augen, Oberfläche fein mikrochagriniert (x 64), schwach glänzend, zerstreut, staubartig behaart. Fühler kurz, die Schulterbeulen erreichend, Glieder 4 bis 10 ganz schwach gezahnt, 4 bis 7 etwas langer als 3 und 8 bis 10. Halsschild breiter als lang, Seiten ziemlich stark gerundet, Basalecken etwas stärker gerundet als die Vorderecken, Basalecken leicht aufgebogen, Oberfläche ähnlich wie der Kopf mikrochagriniert und behaart. Flügeldecken nach hinten schwach verbreitet, Oberfläche fast matt, bei starker Vergrösserung (x 64) sind einzelne, erloschene Punkte sichtbar, wie der Halsschild behaart, ohne aufstehende, längere Haare. Länge: 3 mm. Fundort: Sajn-Šand, 29. V. 1962, leg. R. BIELAWSKI et B. PISARSKI. Holotypus im Zoologischen Institut der PAdW in Warszawa, Paratypus in meiner Sammlung. Die neue Art ist durch die helle Farbung gekennzeichnet, sie kann neben A. flaveolus Ab. gestellt werden. Sie unterscheidet sich von dieser Art, gemäss Beschreibung, durch die kleinere Gestalt und den mit einem Längsband versehenen Halsschild.“ (Wittmer 1969: 57–58). The elytra light colouration and the pronotum with wide yellow-rose sides differnetiate this species from all Anthocomus species known from Mongolia, but align this species to those of the subgenus Haplomalachius (Flabellomalachius), for example H. (F.) forticonis Wittmer. Absence of male special characters provide no opportunity to attribute this species to Anthocomus Erichson or any other genus of the tribe Malachiini. Thus, if the male could be found, the presence of apical impressions in elytra will allow one to attribute it to Anthocomus or Clanoptilus Motschulsky, and if the elytral apices are simple to Haplomalachius Erichson. This species is only provisionally regarded as belonging Anthocomus (?). Distribution. The species is only known from the type locality, Sainshand, Dornogov (East Gobi) Aimak, Mongolia (N44°53′; E110°08′).
