Comparatively large trechines characterized by robust head, large mandibles, small but markedly protruded eyes, smooth, markedly convex tempora, cordiform pronotum, straight pronotal basal margin with large, rectangular to acute laterobasal angles, slender elytra, short metepisternum, reduced hindwings, moderately slender antenna and legs, protibia with a complete longitudinal groove on external surface, presence of a row of long adhesive hairs on apical margins of 4th tarsomeres which are as long as the 5th tarsomeres, and by a markedly slender median lobe of aedeagus, which possesses a small, slightly sclerotized endophallic copulatory piece. The new genus is particularly distinguished from other representatives of Trechina by unusual chaetotaxy of head capsule and elytra as follows: clypeus plurisetose, each side with 3-5 setae; submentum with three setae each side; anterior elytral discal seta located in the 4th interval, adjoined to the 4th stria.</p><p>Etymology.</p><p>The new genus name is given in memoriam of our dear friend and colleague, the distinguished entomologist Martin Baehr, Munich (10.03.1943-17.04.2019).</p><p>Description.</p><p>Head: Large and robust, without pilosity. Mandibles large, moderately slender, with bidentate dentition pattern as shown in Fig. 8. Labrum with apical margin moderately emarginated, with six setae near apical margin. Clypeus each side with three or four setae (Figs 5, 7; seldom only two setae at one of the sides). Eyes moderately small, as long as or slightly shorter than tempora, markedly convexly protruded (Figs 5, 7). Two supraorbital setae each side in normal position for Trechina . Supraorbital furrows unevenly bent in posterior half, markedly deep in front and middle portions, slightly flatter near insertion of posterior supraorbital seta. Tempora markedly convex, markedly wrinkled to the neck, smooth. Mid of head convexly elevated, with a distinct transverse depression between supraorbital area and neck (Figs 5, 7). Antennae slender, with third antennomere longest, 1/9-1/10 longer than first respectively fourth antennomere, and with second antennomere about 2/3 of length of third. Suborbital seta present. Apical tooth of mentum bifid, sensory pits of mentum present; submentum with three setae each side (Fig. 9).</p><p>Prothorax: Pronotum rather small, without pilosity, moderately transverse, cordate, broadest distinctly before middle, with lateral margin markedly concave before base, and with basal margin slightly smaller than apical margin (Figs 4, 6). Disc moderately convex. Anterior margin straight or slightly concave in middle with anterior angles small but distinct, rounded, moderately protruded. Basal margin straight along internal 3/4, with laterobasal angles slightly shifted posteriad. Lateral margin convexly rounded in anterior 2/3 and concave towards laterobasal angles, latter large, rectangular or sharp at tip, sometimes slightly protruded laterally. Marginal gutter moderately broad throughout. Median longitudinal impression sharply incised, disappearing near apex, somewhat deepened before base. Anterior and posterior transverse impressions shallow and smooth. Laterobasal foveae large, internally and externally (towards lateral gutter) distinctly sloped, without punctures but with fine transversal wrinkles. Lateral and laterobasal setae present, with the former situated at or slightly anterad of maximum width of pronotum. Proepisternum glabrous and smooth.</p><p>Pterothorax: Elytra without pilosity, long and very slender ovate, very slightly convex or flattened in middle of disc, in dorsal view broadest distinctly posterad middle, shoulders flatly rounded (Fig. 13), apical sinuation distinct, apex rounded with the indication of a very obtuse apical angle. Striae 1-8 complete, moderately deep impressed, impunctate, intervals moderately convex, parascutellar stria free, 1/6-1/9 of length of elytra. Recurrent preapical stria deep, long, in most specimens reaching the apex of the fifth stria. Parascutellar seta present. Anterior discal seta located in the 4th interval, adjoined to the 4th stria, located near the end of the anterior elytral 5th (Fig. 13); second discal seta located at the 3rd stria about at elytral middle (in most specimens, the posterior setiferous pore together with the 3rd stria is switched into the 4th interval); posterior discal seta (= subapical seta near the end of 3rd stria) present, located about 1/9 of elytral length from elytral apex; subapical seta of the recurrent stria isolated, distinctly removed from this stria by distance of 2-3 diameters of the setiferous pore. Number and positions of the setae of the marginal umbilicate series as in Trechus s. str. Metepisternum very short, glabrous and smooth, with outer margin about as long as anterior margin.</p><p>Legs: Moderately long and robust. Protibia distinctly dilated towards apex, straight, with longitudinal groove on dorsal surface complete, and with several fine setae on anterior surface near apex (Fig. 12). Two basal protarsomeres of males dilated and dentoid at the inner apical border (Fig. 10). Fourth pro-, meso- and metatarsomeres each with a row of long adhesive hairs on apical margins which are as long as the 5th tarsomeres (Figs 10, 11).</p><p>Male genitalia (Figs 14, 15): Aedeagal median lobe markedly elongated, slender tube-like, in lateral view slightly sinusoidal, with apex distinctly bent upwardly, simple, with apical lamella insignificant; basal bulb rather small with large sagittal aileron. Endophallus with a small, very slightly sclerotized copulatory piece. Parameres with 3-4 apical setae.</p><p>Distribution.</p><p>So far only known from Mt. Choke in northern Ethiopia (Fig. 1).</p><p>Relationships and identification.</p><p>Based on the molecular data, Baehria gen. nov. is representative of a well-supported clade comprising Duvaliomimus Jeannel from New Zealand and Paratrechus Jeannel from South and Central America (Fig. 2). Apart from a general " Duvalius -like" appearance, the three genera share some common features like the large size, cordate pronotum, rounded head with salient temples, and pubescent protibiae. Baehria gen. nov. differs from both these genera by the presence of three or four setae instead of two on each side of the clypeus, and by the position of the anterior discal seta on elytra: in Baehria gen. nov., this seta inserts in the 4th interval instead on the 3rd stria in Duvaliomimus and on the 5th stria in Paratrechus . Baehria gen. nov. differs additionally from Paratrechus by the simple apex of the aedeagal median lobe, which is button-like shaped in Paratrechus (Jeannel 1928; Barr 1982; Townsend 2010).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/78E8D3AE40CD5B96A44FFBA1906E2361	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

(CSCHM) .</p><p>Etymology.</p><p>The specific epithet refers to the markedly separated distributional area of the taxon, which is, based on current knowledge, far away from its next relatives. It is built by the past participle of the Latin verb separare.</p><p>Description.</p><p>See description of genus.</p><p>Body length: 6.9-7.5 mm ( Ø = 7.19 mm, n = 20).</p><p>Proportions (n = 20): PW/HW = 1.18-1.25 ( Ø = 1.21); PW/PL = 1.30-1.38 ( Ø = 1.34); PW/PBW = 1.48-1.54 ( Ø = 1.50); PBW/PAW = 0.92-1.00 ( Ø = 0.96); EW/PW = 1.42-1.48 ( Ø = 1.45); EL/EW = 1.46-1.56 ( Ø = 1.51).</p><p>Colour: Dark brown to blackish, moderately shiny in both sexes; palpi light brown, labrum and scapus reddish brown, basal 3/4 of femora light brown; antennal base in some specimens more widely brightened.</p><p>Microsculpture: Same in males and females. Head with deeply engraved, rather large, almost isodiametric sculpticells on disc and supraorbital area, slightly smaller sculpticells on clypeus. Pronotum with moderately deep engraved, slightly transverse sculpticells on disc and markedly deep engraved sculpticells near base; the sculpticells are somewhat smaller than on head disc. Elytral intervals with more finely engraved sculpticells which are more transverse than on pronotum.</p><p>Aedeagus. Proportion EL/AL (n = 10): 2.40-2.64 ( Ø = 2.52). Median lobe in lateral view unevenly bent, dorsally with a distinct concavity before middle (Fig. 14), in dorsal view not or very slightly broadened before apex (Fig. 15).</p><p>Differential diagnosis.</p><p>See Diagnosis and Identification sections of the genus, above.</p><p>Distribution and geographical variability.</p><p>The type series was collected on the western side of the crater valley of Mt. Choke. Additional populations were collected on the north eastern side of the crater valley and on northern and western slopes of Mt. Choke. Specimens of these populations differ +/- distinctly from those of the type series and from each other by the curvature of the aedeagal median lobe, the number of lightened basal antennomeres, and the depth of the engraving of the elytral microsculpture. Slight differences were also found in the DNA sequence segments of the three investigated specimens representing three different populations (Fig. 2; Suppl. material 1). Further morphological and molecular genetic studies are needed to answer the question of whether certain populations represent separate species or subspecies.</p><p>Habitat.</p><p>Specimens of Baehria separata gen. nov., sp. nov. have been found in stone packs traversed by running water in small steep streams in the afroalpine zone, together with Dytiscidae beetles (Fig. 16). Based on this finding, Baehria separata gen. nov., sp. nov. seems to be adapted to a rheophilic way of life.</p><p>Trechus Clairville, 1806</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/8DD625A074ED516595A21EB50BE6BB65	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

This clade includes species characterized by widely differing body sizes, shapes, and proportions, and by many other morphological characters, including elytral chaetotaxy, the number of dilated male protarsomeres, and the extent of the dorsal opening of the aedeagal median lobe. Similar character states can likewise be found in Trechus sensu lato species occurring in northern Ethiopia which, however, do not cluster within the south Ethiopian clade. At the current state of knowledge, a morphological definition of this clade together with a differential diagnosis with respect to other species groups of Trechus sensu lato cannot be presented here and require more comprehensive morphological investigations.</p><p>For the monophyletic southern Ethiopian Trechus clade, the oldest valid species group name is Minitrechus Vigna Taglianti &amp; Magrini, which was given for a very tiny, depigmented species from Mt. Enkuolo (Vigna Taglianti and Magrini 2010). The subgenus Trechus Archeotrechus Magrini, Quéinnec &amp; Vigna Taglianti was described two years later for a likewise tiny and depigmented species from the Bale Mountains, which is additionally characterized by a very wide dorsal opening of aedeagus (Magrini et al. 2012). In our phylogeny, the type species of both of these subgenera cluster together within one of the two main clades of South Ethiopian Trechus, both of which are highly supported by the molecular data (Fig. 3). Consequently, the status of Archeotrechus as a separate subgenus within Trechus sensu lato can no longer be maintained.</p><p>A complete list of species we propose to summarize within the subgenus Trechus Minitrechus, is shown in the checklist of the Ethiopian Trechini species, see Discussion, below.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/49F81F52C4DA5FADBF0857C693BBE8D7	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Externally, Trechus Abunetrechus subgen. nov. reminders a non-specialised high-altitude Trechus of moderate body size, short mandibles, antenna and legs, moderately large eyes, rounded humeri, short metepisternae and hindwings reduced to short stubs. Trechus sensu lato, Trechus Abunetrechus subgen. nov. is characterized by the combination of following character states: bisetose clypeus (Figs 18, 20, 22), smooth tempora, pronotum with fully rounded laterobasal angles and with laterobasal setae markedly protruded anteriorly (Figs 18, 20, 21), elytral striae 3 and 4 merging at level of the anterior discal seta (Fig. 23), elytral preapical seta of the third interval present and situated about at level of the elytral apical tenth, protibia with longitudinal groove on external surface; aedeagus with two moderately sclerotized portions of the endophallus arranged one behind the other in apical half of the median lobe (Figs 24-29).</p><p>Etymology.</p><p>The subgenus name combines the name of the Abune Yosef Massif in northern Ethiopia, where the species of this subgenus occur, with the name of the genus Trechus .</p><p>Description.</p><p>Head: Size averaged for Trechus sensu lato, without pilosity. Mandibles short, with dentition pattern as in Trechus sensu stricto. Labrum with apical margin moderately emarginated, with six setae near apical margin. Clypeus each side with one long seta (Figs 18, 20, 22; very seldom with an additional very fine seta situated interior of one of the primary setae). Eyes moderately large, convexly protruded, more than two times as long as tempora, latter moderately convex (Figs 18, 20, 22). Two supraorbital setae each side in normal position for Trechus . Supraorbital furrows moderately deep and almost evenly bent throughout. Tempora moderately convex, markedly wrinkled to the neck, smooth. Mid of head convexly elevated. Antennae short, with third antennomere slightly longer than pedicellus. Suborbital seta present. Apical tooth of mentum truncate or slightly bifid, sensory pits of mentum present but very small; submentum with 4-7 setae.</p><p>Prothorax: Pronotum with size averaged for Trechus sensu lato, without pilosity, slightly transverse, broadest distinctly before middle, with lateral margin completely rounded towards base, and with laterobasal angles indistinct. Basal margin (between insertion points of laterobasal setae) distinctly broader than apical margin. Disc markedly convex. Anterior margin slightly or moderately concave with anterior angles shortly rounded, moderately protruded. Basal margin straight or slightly convex in middle and with outer quarters markedly shifted anteriorly towards lateral margin (Figs 18, 20, 21). Lateral margin convexly rounded throughout; laterobasal angle fully rounded or marked as a very small blunt tooth. Marginal gutter very narrow throughout. Median longitudinal impression slightly incised, disappearing near apex and base, not deepened within area of posterior transverse impression. Anterior and posterior transverse impressions very shallow, smooth or (posterior transverse impression) sometimes finely wrinkled. Laterobasal foveae rather small, moderately impressed, smooth. Lateral and laterobasal setae present, with the former situated near maximum width of pronotum. Proepisternum glabrous and smooth.</p><p>Pterothorax: Elytra without pilosity, slender ovate, markedly domed towards disc, not flattened in middle of disc, in dorsal view broadest slightly posterad middle, shoulders flatly rounded, apical sinuation very slightly developed or indistinct, apex rounded or marked as an obtuse apical angle. Parascutellary stria short to moderately long, free; striae 1-8 almost complete, moderately deep impressed in middle of disc, less deeply towards sides, disappearing near base, crenulated, striae 3 and 4 merging at level of the anterior discal seta; intervals slightly convex. Recurrent preapical stria deep, long, connected with the apex of the fifth stria. Parascutellar seta present. Anterior discal seta situated at merging point of the 3rd and 4th stria, near the end of the anterior elytral 5th (Fig. 23); second discal seta located at the 3rd stria somewhat behind elytral middle; posterior discal seta (= subapical seta near end of 3rd stria) present, located about 1/10 of elytral length from elytral apex; subapical seta of the recurrent stria isolated, removed from this stria by distance of 1-2 diameters of the setiferous pore. Number and positions of the setae of the marginal umbilicate series as in Trechus s. str. Metepisternum very short, glabrous and smooth, with outer margin about as long as anterior margin.</p><p>Legs: Short and moderately robust. Protibia distinctly dilated towards apex, straight, glabrous, with longitudinal groove on dorsal surface complete. Two basal protarsomeres of males dilated and dentoid at the inner apical border. Chaetotaxy as in Trechus sensu stricto.</p><p>Male genitalia (Figs 24-29): Aedeagal median lobe moderately large, in lateral view markedly curved, with apical lamella short, latter with distinct terminal capitulum; basal bulb and saggital aileron averaged. Endophallus with a moderately large, moderately sclerotized folding structure (copulatory piece) in the shape of a half-open cylinder or cone which is located in apical half of the median lobe and directed to its longitudinal axis, and with the open part of the copulatory piece facing ventrad. Apicad of this piece, an additional slightly more strongly sclerotized folding structure is developed which is shaped as a small plate (best visible in lateral view); the basal part of this piece overlaps with the apex of the more dorsal copulatory piece. Parameres with 2-4 apical setae.</p><p>Remarks.</p><p>In his redescription of Trechus bipartitus, Jeannel (1927) noted the presence of a single copulatory piece which is characterized by a long sinusoidal appendix. However, in his figure of the left lateral view of the copulatory piece (Jeannel 1927: 195) he merged the more strongly sclerotized folding structure near median lobe apex with the more basad located larger copulatory piece which leads to the impression of a single, very long piece.</p><p>Distribution.</p><p>Northern Ethiopia Plateau (Fig. 1): Three species are known so far, two from Mt. Abune Yosef ( T. bipartitus Raffray, T. lalibelae Quéinnec &amp; Ollivier) and one from the Guassa Plateau ( T. habeshaicus Quéinnec &amp; Ollivier).</p><p>Relationships and identification.</p><p>Based on the molecular data, Trechus Abunetrechus subgen. nov. is representative of a clade comprising Anchotrechus Jeannel from Tenerife, the Trechus subgenus Arabotrechus Mateu from Yemen, and the Trechus subgenus Meruitrechus Jeannel from Mt. Meru, Tanzania (Fig. 3; in the following called the AAMA clade). Trechus Abunetrechus subgen. nov. differs from all species groups of the AAMA clade by bisetose clypeus. A quadrisetose clypeus was hypothesized plesiomorphic character state in Trechini (Schmidt et al. 2021). Within this tribe, a bisetose clypeus is also developed in the genus Omalodera Blanchard from Chili, the Caucasian genus Alanorites Belousov of the Neotrechus Phyletic Series, and two Epaphiopsis Uéno species occurring in the central Himalaya (Belousov 1998; Naito 2023). However, this character state has to be considered homoplasic because none of these taxa cluster within Trechus sensu lato (Faille et al. 2013, 2021; Maddison et al. 2019, see Fig. 2 in this paper). Trechus Abunetrechus subgen. nov. additionally differs from all other species of the AAMA clade by rounded pronotal laterobasal angles, from Meruitrechus by presence of the elytral preapical seta of the third interval, the isodiametric sculticells on elytra less deeply engraved, and eight striae well marked, from Anchotrechus by smaller and stouter body, glabrous elytra and much shorter aedeagal median lobe, and from Arabotrechus by the smaller body size, presence of a second discal setae (missing in Arabotrechus, as well as in T. aethiopicus and some species of Elgonotrechus Jeannel. Trechus Abunetrechus subgen. nov. shares the elytral striae 3 and 4 merging at level of the anterior discal seta with Arabotrechus (based on a single investigated specimen; larger series would be necessary to confirm the stability of this character).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/4942403632AC58E2ADAF31A673E77674	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

(15 specimens: CSCHM) .</p><p>Justification of the new synonymy.</p><p>Jeannel (1960) noted for his T. patrizii the absence of pronotal basolateral setae as diagnostic character. Up to today, T. patrizii is considered the only Ethiopian species bearing this particular character (for development of this character state in T. amharicus Ortuño &amp; Novoa, for which absence of pronotal basolateral setae was likewise determined, see Quéinnec et al. 2021). However, based on re-investigation of the type material of T. patrizii, we found that a pore is present in the normal position for the basolateral seta both sides of the pronotum (Figs 30, 31). Very probably, absence of these setae is based on preservation artefacts. The T. patrizii type specimens correspond in all external and genital diagnostic characters with the many specimens we previously identified as T. oromiensis Magrini et al. from the Bale Mts, Mt. Enkuolo and from the type locality of T. patrizii, Mt. Chillalo (Schmidt and Faille 2018). In far most of these specimens, the pronotal basolateral seta is present but lost on one or both sides in very few cases (Figs 32, 33; Schmidt and Faille 2018: 38, figs 58-60). Consequently, we conclude junior synonymy for the taxon T. oromiensis Magrini, Quéinnec &amp; Vigna Taglianti under T. patrizii Jeannel.</p><p>Diagnosis.</p><p>Within the Trechus fauna of the Bale and Arsi Mountains, T. patrizii is easily recognized by absence of the posterior elytral discal seta (Schmidt and Faille 2018). Beside T. patrizii, absence of the posterior elytral discal seta is also characteristic for T. amharicus Ortuño &amp; Novoa and T. aethiopicus Alluaud. Trechus patrizii differs from T. amharicus by two male protarsomeres dilated, by presence of an apical disc on aedeagal median lobe, and by very differently sclerotized endophallus (for comparison see Ortuño and Novoa 2011: 134, fig. 3b, d, and Schmidt and Faille 2018: 37, figs 64-66). Trechus patrizii differs from T. aethiopicus by the pronotum with smaller laterobasal angles, and by the copulatory piece of the endophallus, which is long and spine-like (short and tube-like in T. aethiopicus, see Jeannel 1927: 197, figs 598, 599).</p><p>Relationships.</p><p>Based on the molecular data, T. patrizii is representative of a well-supported clade comprising also T. hagenia Schmidt &amp; Faille, T. mekbibi Schmidt &amp; Faille, and T. bastianinii Magrini &amp; Sciaky, all endemic to the Bale Mountains (Fig. 3). Within this clade, T. patrizii is identified sister species of T. bastianinii .</p><p>Distribution.</p><p>Occurrences of T. patrizii are known from the northern slope of the Bale Mountains as well as from the northerly adjacent Arsi volcanos Chillalo, Encuolo, and Kaka (Schmidt and Faille 2018; Fig. 1).</p><p>Habitat.</p><p>Based on our field work data, T. patrizii is an epedaphic-hemiedaphic species adapted to shadowed and moderately humid soil conditions at altitudes of about 2500-3300 m (Schmidt and Faille 2018). It was found under large stones and by sifting leaf litter in mesophilic Hagenia forests and layers of humus shadowed by shrubs and rock faces.
