The Pygopleurus Motschulsky (Coleoptera: Scarabaeoidea: Glaphyridae) of mainland Greece: taxonomy, faunistics and ecological notes Author Bollino, Maurizio Author Uliana, Marco Author Sabatinelli, Guido text Zootaxa 2019 2019-09-24 4674 2 151 202 journal article 25414 10.11646/zootaxa.4674.2.1 a3c9f2fa-30d7-48b9-9a2e-3f81cc0a3e3e 1175-5326 3458836 B6626FE9-6490-4BC9-BACB-A4437AACDF25 Pygopleurus anemoninus species-group This group is defined by the peculiar shape of everted endophallus and paramera strongly narrowing in the distal half ( Figs. 22 , 29 ), very distinct from other Pygopleurus and suggestive of the monophyly of the group, and by the clypeus lacking a medial carina in both sexes, a condition exclusive to this group within the Greek fauna. Other non-exclusive characters are: elytra unicolored, long, raised setation of elytra with black setae commonly present at least in the basal area, rarely all setae light-colored (observed in females only); setation evidently denser in the inner two-thirds of elytra, scarce or absent in the external third; elytral apex rounded. The group includes two species from Greece ( P. anemoninus and P. pseudopsilotrichius ) and one from Anatolia ( P. kareli ( Petrovitz, 1962 )) , whose everted endophallus is pictured in Bollino & Ruzzante (2015) .
