Taxonomy On Patrobini (Coleoptera:Carabidae) From China

The present thesis focouses on taxonomy of Patrobini from China.There were 16 genera of Patrobini with 72 species recorded in China,but the generic characters of some genera were not accurate.The research history and the systematic status of Patrobini are briefly introduced.Materials and methods of this study are briefly explained.Morphological characters of Patrobini are introduced.In the taxonomic part,21 genera and 2 subgenera with 95 species and 15 subspecies from China are described,including 3 firstly recorded genera,2 newly ranked genera,22 new species,1 firstly recorded species,1 new subspecies,7 new combination.3 firstly recorded genera are described: Himalopenetretus Zamotajlov,2002 new record from China;Patrobus Dejean,1821 new record from China;Apatrobus Habu & Baba,1960 new record from China,.2 genera are proposed as new rank: Ambigopenetretus Zamotajlov,2002 new rank,Robustopenetretus Zamotajlov & Sciaky,1999 new rank.22 new speceis are described: Apatrobus laevis sp.n.,Apatrobus rotundatus sp.n.;Ambigopenetretus tianjialini sp.n.,Ambigopenetretus marginalis sp.n.,Ambigopenetretus laticollis sp.n.;Deltomerodes ovicollis Yan & Shi,2021,Deltomerodes conensis Yan & Shi,2021;Himalopenetretus burongensis Yan& Shi,2020;Robustopenetretus leo sp.n.,Robustopenetretus acutidens sp.n.,Robustopenetretus obliquus sp.n.,Robustopenetretus lunicollis sp.n.,Robustopenetretus erinaceus sp.n.,Robustopenetretus glabriceps sp.n.,Robustopenetretus setosus sp.n.,Robustopenetretus bambusus sp.n.,Robustopenetretus cordicollis sp.n.,Robustopenetretus liangshanensis sp.n.,Robustopenetretus ovipennis sp.n.;Parapenetretus rufoapicalis sp.n.;Chinapenetretus jichouensis sp.n.;Minipenetretus parvulus sp.n..1 firstly recorded species: Patrobus cinctus Motschulsky,1860 new record from China,.1 new subspecies is described: Tibetopenetretus heinzi yadongensis ssp.n..7 new combination are proposed: Ambigopenetretus shimianensis(Zamotajlov,2002)comb.n.,Ambigopenetretus kabaki(Zamotajlov,2002)comb.n.;Robustopenetretus xilinensis(Zamotajlov &Wrase,1997)comb.n.,Robustopenetretus kasantsevi(Zamtajlov & Sciaky,1999)comb.n.,Robustopenetretus microphthalmus(Fairmaire,1889)comb.n.,Robustopenetretus saueri(Zamotajlov &Sciaky,1996)comb.n.;Chinapenetretus(Chinapenetretus)reticulatus(Zamotajlov,1990)comb.n..Keys to all the genera and subgenera and almost all of the species of Patrobini from China are provided.The original citation,characteristic description and distribution information of described species are provided.The habitus and male genitalia endophallus of examined species are provided.The female reproductive system of some examined species are provided.
