A taxonomic review of the genus Euboeus Boieldieu, 1865 (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae: Helopini) of the Caucasus, Iran and Turkmenistan Author Nabozhenko, Maxim V. text Zootaxa 2022 2022-07-01 5159 4 451 486 journal article 88477 10.11646/zootaxa.5159.4.1 cffc486a-265f-4d35-a289-a4a54845c77d 1175-5326 6785909 CA6AF6AD-9E4A-4BE3-8B52-6D8E5EA3641F Euboeus ( Pelorinus ) corrugosus ( Seidlitz, 1895 ) ( Figs 1 , 2 ) Helops corrugosus Seidlitz, 1895: 707 , 750 (part); Probaticus ( Pelorinus ) corrugosus : Leo & Ruzzante, 2016: 85 (part); = Probaticus ( Pelorinus ) parthorum G. Medvedev, 1976: 891 , syn. nov. Type material. Lectotype of Helops corrugosus Seidlitz, 1895 ( SNSD ), designated here according to Article 61.1 and 74.1 of ICZN (1999), with labels: bronze square, “ subrugosus tut Allard”, “ ♂ astrabad Christoph”, “13916”, “ Helops corrugatus Seidl. ” [handwritten by G. Seidlitz], “ corrugosus Seid. nec corrugatus det.Schuster”. The label “ Helops corrugosus Seidlitz, 1895 des. M. Nabozhenko 2021” was added to the lectotype . Holotype of Probaticus parthorum (ZIN) , ♂ with the Cyrillic Russian handwritten label “Астрабад, Сев. Иран 9–12.V.1912 Билькевич” (Astrabad, North Iran , leg. Bil’kevich ), “ Holotypus Probathicus ( Pelorinus ) parthorum G. Medvedev, 1977 ” . Paratypes . 1♂ with labels: “Астрабад С. Персия [print] 6.III.904 [handwritten] Филиппович [print italic]” ( Cyrillic , Russian : Astrabad, N Persia , leg. Philippovich ) and “ Paratypus Probathicus ( Pelorinus ) parthorum G. Medvedev, 1977 ” ; 1♂ : the same labels, but 18.II.1904 ; 1♂ : the same labels, but 5.V.[19]04; 1♀ : the same labels, but 23–24.IV.[1]905; 1♀ : the same labels, but 29.V.[19]04 and additional labels “ Probaticus sp. aff. 4-collis Bdi Dr Z. Kaszab det., 1960”, “ Probaticus sp. ” Red labels with “ Holotypus ” and “ Paratypus ” were pinned by a laboratory assistant (A.K. Chistaykova) with erroneous year and the name of the genus. FIGURE 1. Euboeus corrugosus , lectotype, male, habitus. A = dorsally; B = laterally; C = labels. Material. 1♂ , 1♀ ( HNHM ): “Persia Astrabad 5.99 Coll. Hauser ” ( Iran , Golestan Prov. , Gorgan , v.1899 ) ; 1♂ ( SMNS ): Iran , Golestan Prov. , Karim Ishan , 70 km NE Gonbad-e-Kavus , 4– 7.04.1999 (leg. J. Rejsek ) ; 2♂ , 1♀ ( SMNS ): Iran , Golestan Prov. , 10 km S Bandar e Gaz , 27.05– 7.06.2001 (leg. G. Sama ) . Notes. This species was described from two males from “Klein-Asien” and “Astrabad” ( Seidlitz, 1895 , p. 707) in the key. Leo and Ruzzante (2016) mentioned that it is a “mysterious” species, described from these two different localities. Sahlberg (1913) , Reitter (1922) and Nabozhenko and Löbl (2008) mentioned different species from the Aegean region . Nabozhenko (2020 b ) listed E. corrugosus for Greece , Turkey and Iran . One syntype (male) from “ Asia Minor ” was originally mentioned from the collection of G. Kraatz, but it was not found in the Senckenberg Deutsche Entomologische Institut (Müncheberg, Germany ). I studied the second Iranian specimen (designated here as the lectotype ) ( Fig. 1 ), which is conspecific to Medvedev’s E. parthorum ( Fig. 2 ) also described from Astrabad. Thus, the following new synonymy is proposed: Helops corrugosus Seidlitz, 1895 = Probaticus parthorum G. Medvedev, 1976 , syn. nov. Distribution. Iran ( Golestan Province ).
