Phylogenetic systematics of the genera of Thryptocerina Jeannel, 1949 and new species from New Caledonia (Coleoptera, Carabidae, Oodini)
The Oodini precinctive to New Caledonia are reviewed with nine species recognized, of which seven are newly described in two genera. Five species are described in the genus Coptocarpus Chaudoir: C. microps sp. nov. , C. erwini sp. nov. , C. amieuensis sp. nov. , C. magnus sp. nov. , and C. lescheni...

Summary: | The Oodini precinctive to New Caledonia are reviewed with nine species recognized, of which seven are newly described in two genera. Five species are described in the genus
Coptocarpus
Chaudoir:
C. microps
sp. nov.
,
C. erwini
sp. nov.
,
C. amieuensis
sp. nov.
,
C. magnus
sp. nov.
, and
C. lescheni
sp. nov.
In the genus
Adelopomorpha
Heller two species,
A. tethys
sp. nov.
and
A. tuberculata
sp. nov.
, are described. In order to place cladistically the newly described species in a genus, a phylogenetic analysis of a matrix of 36 characters of adult morphology was conducted including exemplar species of three putative outgroup genera, six putative ingroup thryptocerine oodine genera, and all oodine species from New Caledonia. Results show support for Thryptocerina and monophyly of
Adelopomorpha
.
Hoplolenus
LaFerté-Sénectère is not monophyletic and
Hoplolenus cyllodinus
Fauvel is newly combined as
Coptocarpus cyllodinus
comb. nov.
New Caledonian species of
Coptocarpus
form a clade, but the Australian species of the genus included in the analysis are rendered paraphyletic by African and Malagasy genera. Implications of this preliminary study for the classification of Oodini and trends in the evolution of the female reproductive tract are discussed. A key to the New Caledonian species of Oodini is provided. |
