503587D0ED4CFFF9FF0FFBA3654FFCC1.taxon	distribution	Distribution. Originally described from “ Akbés ”, a Syrian region at the time of the description, nowadays (as Akbez) a part of Hatay Province of Turkey. Also occurs in Ukraine (new country record), Crimean Peninsula. Discovery of this species in Crimea suggests wider distribution of it in Turkey. Chorotype. SW­Asiatic (1.13 SWA) but includes Crimean Peninsula. Note. Degiovanni (personal communication) pointed on that this species is likely to be conspecific with Microhoria fasciata helvetica (Krekich­Strassoldo, 1929) (N Italy, Switzerland) since the male aedeagus appears identical in both. I here abstain for introducing a new synonym until the type material of M. fasciata helvetica is studied.	en	Telnov, Dmitry (2022): Revisional notes on the genus Microhoria Chevrolat, 1877 (Insecta: Coleoptera: Anthicidae) from the Eastern Mediterranean and Turkey, with new descriptions, an annotated catalogue, and a key.

A. Kopetz KLS, KF. Nomenclature. Koch (1935: 26) described Anthicus angulapex from an unstated number of specimens from Rhodes without holotype designation in the original description: “ Rodi: Trianda 23 ­ 4 e 2 ­ 5 ­ 1932; Villanova 1 ­ 5 ­ 1932; Golf 30 ­ 4 ­ 32, Castelrosso 8 ­ 5 ­ 1932 ”. These specimens becoming syntypes (ICZN 1999: Article 73.2). Augusto Degiovanni (personal communication) studied the specimen from MSNM labelled “ Holotypus ” by unknown person (the label handwriting does not correspond with the one of C. Koch): 1 male MSNM: Holotypus [handwritten, label red] // Rodi (Trianda) [printed] 2.5.32 [handwritten] A. Schatzmayr [printed] // Prep. microscp. No. [printed] / 383 [handwritten] [label violet] // A. angulapex Koch [handwritten, label blue]. However, this specimen is undoubtedly a mislabelled male of Microhoria schmiedeknechti (Pic, 1899) known from insular Greece and W Turkey, since the aedeagus of this specimen fully corresponds with that of type specimens of M. schmiedeknechti (see below) and with the figure given by Koch (1935: 259, Fig. 1). The aedeagus is evidently different from the one depicted on the next page of the same work for M. angulapex (Koch 1935: 260, Fig. 2). The studied male at the MNHN (see Type material, above) indeed fully corresponds with the aforementioned figure from the original description of M. angulapex. The lectotype is therefore designated to maintain the nomenclatural stability. Supplementary description. Belongs to the M. terminata species group. Syntype male. Total body length 2.5 mm. Forebody reddish brown, elytra dark brown to black­brown. Antennae, palps, and legs yellowish, femora distinctly darker than tibiae, antennomeres 7 – 11 darker than previous.

Head dorsum moderately glossy, punctures distinct, dense. Intervening spaces smooth, generally as wide as punctures. Dorsal cranial setae whitish to yellowish, moderately long and dense, appressed. Antenna slightly thickened in apical half. Terminal antennomere bluntly pointed, about 2.3 – 2.4 × as long as penultimate antennomere, slightly longer than combined length of antennomeres 9 – 10. Pronotum as long as wide to barely transverse, narrower than head across eyes, moderately glossy, broadly rounded at anterior margin. Lateral margins strongly constricted in posterior half. Latero­basal pronotal fovea broad and deep, with dense, curved setation. Pronotal disc flattened in dorsal aspect. Pronotal punctures distinct, dense, rather deep. Intervening spaces smooth, generally as wide as to slightly wider than punctures. Pronotal setation generally as that on head. Elytra about 1.5 – 1.6 × as long as wide, laterally subparallel, dorsally flattened to barely convex. Humerus broadly rounded. Elytral disc glossy, punctures moderately dense, shallow. Intervening spaces smooth, generally as wide as to twice as wide as punctures. Apex of elytron modified, minutely, acute triangularly projected at opening of gland channel.

Tergite VII subtruncate at posterior margin. Morphological sternite VII broadly rounded at posterior margin. Aedeagus as in Fig. 3 D. Tegmen rather short, apex broadly hooked; endophallic armature of a smaller U­shaped and a significantly larger U ­ shaped spine; fused baculi conspicuous, extending apically towards half endophallus length; ring­like primary gonopore distinct, rather large. Sexual dimorphism. Female elytra comparatively less slender in dorsal view, elytron apex prolonged into distinct, acute spine significantly larger than that of male.

503587D0ED58FFEDFF0FFA0D65C2FAAD.taxon	diagnosis	Differential diagnosis. Microhoria bremeri sp. nov. belongs to the M. terminata species group. It and can be distinguished from all congeners by the characteristic shape and structure of the male aedeagus. The aedeagus of M. bremeri sp. nov. resembles that of M. ottomana (LaFerté­Sénectère, 1849) (Greece (Lesvos Island), Lebanon, Turkey), but the endophallic armature of the new species differs primarily in the presence of the paired, sickle­like spines and the absence of the long and moderately broad, sword­shaped spines (present in M. ottomana) and the short and broad tegmen apex with fully rounded, not acutely angulate apical hook (tegmen apex acutely angulate in lateral view in M. ottomana).	en	Telnov, Dmitry (2022): Revisional notes on the genus Microhoria Chevrolat, 1877 (Insecta: Coleoptera: Anthicidae) from the Eastern Mediterranean and Turkey, with new descriptions, an annotated catalogue, and a key.

Head 0.55 mm long, across compound eyes 0.5 mm wide, pronotum 0.5 mm long, maximum width 0.4 mm, elytra 1.4 mm long, maximum combined width 0.85 mm. Selected male paratypes 2.2 – 2.5 mm, female paratype 2.4 mm long. Dorsum and venter uniformly black­brown. Antennomeres 1 – 5 (in part also antennomere six), tibiae and tarsi pale yellowish brown, femora and palps brown. Basal fovea of pronotum with pale brown tinge dorsally and laterally. Head slightly ovoid, about 1.2 × as long as wide, tempora moderately constricted towards rounded head base, posterior temporal angles rounded. Compound eye moderate, moderately protruding from lateral outline of head, tempus about as long as to 1.2 × as long as eye. Head dorsum moderately glossy, punctures distinct, moderately deep. Intervening spaces generally smooth and glossy, about as wide as punctures. Dorsal cranial setae greyish, moderately long and dense, appressed. Antennae slightly enlarged in apical third. Penultimate antennomere widened distally, slightly longer than wide. Terminal antennomere elongate, acutely pointed, about 2.2 × as long as penultimate antennomere, barely longer than combined length of antennomeres 9 – 10. Pronotum about as long as wide, narrower than head across eyes, subtruncate medially at anterior margin. Pronotal disc moderately glossy, flattened in dorsal aspect. Lateral margins moderately converging in posterior half. Latero­basal pronotal fovea broad, laterally supplemented with moderately long, curved, yellowish setae. Punctures, intervening spaces and dorsal setae similar as those on head. Elytra moderately elongate, about 1.47 – 1.5 × as long as wide, laterally broadly rounded, subtruncate at apex, dorsally flattened. Humerus broadly rounded. Elytron apex modified, with elongate, acutely pointed, narrow denticle at opening of gland channel. Elytral surface glossy and smooth, punctures somewhat larger than those on forebody, shallow. Intervening spaces generally twice as wide as punctures. Elytral setae greyish, rather short, moderately dense, subdecumbent, directed posteriad. Metathoracic wings fully developed. Legs without modifications, tibial terminal spurs paired. Tergite VII subtruncate to truncate at posterior margin. Morphological sternite VII broadly rounded at posterior margin, medially subtruncate. Spiculum gastrale as in Fig. 10 J. Aedeagus (Fig. 10 D – I) elongate. Tegmen apex short, strongly hooked; fused baculi inconspicuous; endophallic armature of two short and strong, slightly curved, basally strongly widened spines, a pair or narrow, pin­like, apical spines and a pair of peculiar, long and strong, bifurcate spines with main branch strongly widened towards apex and truncate apically while secondary (smaller and shorter) branch acutely dentate, rather narrow. Sexual dimorphism. Female is externally similar to male, elytron apex rounded, without modifications. Female tergite VII broadly rounded at posterior margin. Interspecific variability. The number of the pale antennomeres and the intensity of pale varies. Differential diagnosis. Microhoria capreolus Telnov & Degiovanni sp. nov. belongs to the M. terminata species group and is externally very similar to a number of uniformly dark coloured congeners but can be differentiated due to the peculiar endophallic armature of the male aedeagus.	en	Telnov, Dmitry (2022): Revisional notes on the genus Microhoria Chevrolat, 1877 (Insecta: Coleoptera: Anthicidae) from the Eastern Mediterranean and Turkey, with new descriptions, an annotated catalogue, and a key.

Penultimate antennomere widened distally, nearly as long as wide. Terminal antennomere elongate, bluntly pointed, about 2.5 × as long as penultimate antennomere, about 1.1 – 1.2 × as long combined length of antennomeres 9 – 10. Pronotum about as long as wide, distinctly narrower than head across eyes, subtruncate at anterior margin. Pronotal disc moderately glossy, flattened in dorsal aspect. Lateral margins moderately converging in posterior half. Latero­basal pronotal fovea broad, laterally supplemented with moderately long, curved, whitish setae. Punctures and dorsal setae similar as those on head, punctures somewhat denser on median part of pronotal disc. Intervening spaces about as wide as punctures. Elytra elongate, about 1.7 – 1.8 × as long as wide, laterally parallel­sided or broadly rounded, broadly rounded at apex, dorsally flattened, with a feeble postbasal transverse impression.

Lasecki et al. (2013) highlighted the fact, that from Poland M. pallidula is only mentioned in the checklist by Pic (1911) subsequently followed by Chandler et al. (2008) and had not been rediscovered since. Chandler et al. (2008) and Telnov (2020 a) intentionally ignored the dubious record of this species from Syria (Pic 1934) that requires further confirmation. Chorotype.?

503587D0ED18FFADFF0FFF0065C2FA4D.taxon	diagnosis	Differential diagnosis. Microhoria punctatissima sp. nov. belongs to the M. terminata species group. It and can be distinguished from all congeners by the densely, rather roughly punctured dorsum, the comparatively robust body, and the shape of the aedeagus and the structure of its endophallic armature. The aedeagus of M. punctatissima sp. nov. somewhat resembles that of M. rubronotata (Pic, 1896) stat. nov. (Insular Greece, European Turkey; consider the new status for this taxon below), but the later species is significantly smaller, has the palercoloured forebody and much less roughly punctured dorsum. The aedeagus of the new species appears very similar to that of M. halophila Kejval in Kejval & Chandler 2020 (Turkey) but is specific in the presence of the strongly curved spines of the endophallic armature, the presence of the metathoracic wings and the elytral humeri.	en	Telnov, Dmitry (2022): Revisional notes on the genus Microhoria Chevrolat, 1877 (Insecta: Coleoptera: Anthicidae) from the Eastern Mediterranean and Turkey, with new descriptions, an annotated catalogue, and a key.

503587D0ED1CFFAAFF0FFB3267F5FA2A.taxon	diagnosis	Differential diagnosis. Microhoria quercus sp. nov. belongs to the M. terminata species group. It can be distinguished from all congeners by its bicolorous body, the comparatively short male antenna with the transverse antennomeres 8 – 10, and the shape of the aedeagus and its endophallic armature. The aedeagus appears most similar to that of M. boyadjeani (Pic, 1904) (S Turkey) but the endophallic armature evidently lacking a paired, curved apical spine, the head shape (in dorsal view) is somewhat different (temporal angles more regularly rounded in M. boyadjeani), the male terminal antennomere is shorter than the combined length of the antennomeres 8 – 10 (as long as three preceding antennomeres in M. boyadjeani).	en	Telnov, Dmitry (2022): Revisional notes on the genus Microhoria Chevrolat, 1877 (Insecta: Coleoptera: Anthicidae) from the Eastern Mediterranean and Turkey, with new descriptions, an annotated catalogue, and a key.

The figures of the male genitalia recently provided by Kejval & Chandler (2020). This species is therefore not redescribed here, but additional images are provided. Nomenclature. Pic (1901 d: 130) described ‘ Anthicus terminatus v. latebrunneus ’ from Greece from an unstated number of specimens. Pic (1903: 178) published a second description of the same taxon, but as ‘ Anthicus sanguinicollis var. latebrunneus ’ (A. sanguinicollis is now a junior synonym of M. terminata), also from Greece. The variety latebrunneus had not been rediscovered since. This taxon was erroneously considered to be an aberration of M. nectarina (Panzer, 1794) by Reitter (1906: 444) and was listed as a variety of M. terminata by Uhmann (1992: 167) and Telnov (1999: 30). The variety latebrunneus had been listed among junior synonyms of M. terminata by Chandler et al. (2008: 443) subsequently followed by Telnov (2020 a: 613). However, the studied female syntype (see data below) appears not to be conspecific with M. terminata and is different in the dorsal outline of the head and the more strongly cordiform pronotum, the comparatively denser elytral punctures and setation and the more strongly rounded lateral margins of the elytra in dorsal view. Since the only available type specimen of the variety latebrunneus is a female and no additional material of this taxon is available, its placement remains unclear. At this point I abstain from changing the status or rank for the var. latebrunneus or from placing it as a synonym of any known Microhoria species.

503587D0ED2DFF98FD1BFE5B64EAFC5D.taxon	description	Description. Holotype male, total body length 2.9 mm. Head 0.7 mm long, across compound eyes 0.6 mm wide, pronotum 0.6 mm long, maximum width 0.55 mm, elytra 1.7 mm long, maximum combined width 1.1 mm. Female paratype 2.6 mm long. Dorsum and venter uniformly dark brown, tibiae and tarsi somewhat paler. Head barely longer than wide, head base rounded in one broad arc with tempora, posterior temporal angles rounded. Compound eye moderate, about the length of tempus, strongly protruding from lateral outline of head. Head dorsum moderately glossy, strongly, densely punctate with elongate punctures. Intervening spaces generally smooth, at least on frons slightly wrinkled, as wide as to twice as wide as punctures. Dorsal cranial setae inconspicuous, greyish, moderately long and dense, appressed. Antennae slightly enlarged in apical third. Penultimate antennomere barely longer than wide. Terminal antennomere elongate, bluntly pointed, twice as long as penultimate antennomere, as long as combined length of antennomeres 9 – 10. Pronotum about as long as wide, distinctly narrower than head across eyes, broadly rounded at anterior margin. Pronotal disc moderately glossy, flattened in dorsal aspect. Lateral margins moderately converging in posterior half. Latero­basal pronotal fovea moderately broad, not supplemented with dense setae. Pronotal punctures elongate, dense, intervening spaces narrower than to about as wide as punctures. Dorsal pronotal setation similar to that on head. Elytra about 1.5 × as long as wide, laterally subparallel or broadly rounded, rounded at apex, dorsally flattened. Humerus broadly rounded. Apex of elytron modified, with an inconspicuous, elongate denticle at opening of gland channel. Elytral surface moderately glossy, punctures less dense and shallower than those on forebody. Intervening spaces variable, generally twice as wide as punctures. Elytral setae dirty yellowish, moderately long, rather sparse, generally appressed, slightly curved, directed posteriad. Metathoracic wings fully developed. Legs without modifications, tibial terminal spurs paired. Tergite VII truncate at posterior margin. Morphological sternite VII broadly rounded at posterior margin. Tergite VIII with a hair­like, membranous lamina. Spiculum gastrale as in Fig. 53 C. Aedeagus (Fig. 53 D) with rather short tegmen. Tegmen apex bifurcate, each arm apically hooked; fused baculi moderately long, extending towards about midlength of tegmen, opposing apex of tegmen hooked also; endophallic armature with paired, C­like curved, thickened spines; ring­like primary gonopore distinct, moderately large. Sexual dimorphism. Female tergite VII with deep apical notch. Female elytral apex without modifications.	en	Telnov, Dmitry (2022): Revisional notes on the genus Microhoria Chevrolat, 1877 (Insecta: Coleoptera: Anthicidae) from the Eastern Mediterranean and Turkey, with new descriptions, an annotated catalogue, and a key.
