Assing (cAss).</p> <p>R e d e s c r i p t i o n: Species of intermediate size, 3.5-4.5 mm. Habitus as in Fig. 1. Coloration: head dark brown to blackish; pronotum reddish brown to dark brown; elytra yellowish brown to brown; abdomen dark brown to blackish brown, with the margins of tergites III-VI, the posterior half or the posterior third of segment VII, and the following segments rufous; legs yellowish; antennae dark brown, with the basal 1-2 antennomeres yellowish.</p> <p>Head with distinct microsculpture and fine puncturation; eyes moderately large, slightly shorter than postocular region in dorsal view (Fig. 2); antennae moderately incrassate, antennomere X less than twice as wide as long (Fig. 3); penultimate joint of maxillary palpus approximately three times as long as wide.</p> <p>Pronotum moderately transverse; puncturation fine and dense; microsculpture similar to that of head. Elytra at suture almost as long as pronotum, similar in puncturation and microsculpture to pronotum (Fig. 2). Legs slender; metatarsomere I approximately as long as combined length of metatarsomeres II-IV. Abdomen widest at segment III, distinctly tapering posteriad; puncturation and pubescence very fine and dense, integument with subdued satin shine.</p> <p>3: sternite VIII distinctly pointed posteriorly (Fig. 4); median lobe of aedeagus as in Figs 6-8.</p> <p>♀: posterior margin of sternite VIII in the middle truncate to weakly concave (Fig. 5); spermatheca with duct of rather variable shape (Fig. 9).</p> <p>C o m p a r a t i v e n o t e s: Fromothersimilar Oxypoda species, O. kartabensis is distinguished by the sexual characters. In general appearance (coloration, size, proportion, puncturation), it somewhat resembles O. lurida WOLLASTON, which, however, is slightly smaller, of darker average coloration, and has longer maxillary palpi.</p> <p>C o m m e n t s: FAGEL (1965) attributed the species to the subgenus Podoxya MULSANT &amp; REY. However, in view of the absence of a thorough phylogenetic study of the genus, the subgeneric affiliations of this species should be considered doubtful. The aedeagus illustrated by TRONQUET (1999) for O. kartabensis (" kartabaensis ") clearly refers to a different species, possibly O. vicina.</p> <p>D i s t r i b u t i o n a n d b i o n o m i c s: Oxypoda kartabensis was previously known only from Lebanon; it is here reported from Cyprus, Turkey, and Israel for the first time (Map 1). In Cyprus, it is apparently the most common Oxypoda species. It was found mainly by sifting the leaf litter of various types of forests (oak, pine, alder, etc.). Numerous specimens collected in Turkey and Cyprus in the beginning of April are teneral. Remarkably, the Cyprus specimens were observed to display thanatosis when moved or touched.</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03D587DAF436FFA693E1FEC89F277375	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Light-coloured species: head brown to dark brown; pronotum, elytra, and abdomen yellowish brown to reddish brown, with the central parts of tergites III-V, most of tergite VI, and the anterior half of tergite VII more or less distinctly infuscate; legs yellowish; antennae brown, with the basal 3 antennomeres paler.</p> <p>Head approximately as wide as long; puncturation dense, very fine, shallow, indistinct; microsculpture distinct (Fig. 29); eyes moderately large (Fig. 30), weakly projecting from lateral outline of head, distinctly shorter than postocular region in dorsal view. Antenna of moderate length, antennomere X approximately 1.5 times as wide as long (Fig. 31). Preapical joint of maxillary palpus slender, more than 3 times as long as wide.</p> <p>Pronotum 1.40-1.50 times as wide as head and approximately 1.20-1.25 times as wide as long (Fig. 29); maximal width in or slightly behind middle; puncturation very dense, fine, but less so than that of head; microsculpture shallow, less distinct than that of head; surface with little shine.</p> <p>Elytra slightly wider than pronotum and at suture approximately 0.8 times as long as pronotum; puncturation fine and dense, more distinct than that of pronotum; microsculpture indistinct; surface with more shine than pronotum. Hind wings of somewhat reduced length, but longer than elytra (in those specimens whose hind wings were examined). Legs moderately slender; metatarsomere I long, longer than combined length of metatarsomeres II-IV.</p> <p>Abdomen at base approximately as wide as elytra or slightly narrower; widest at segments III/IV, segments V-VIII gradually tapering (Fig. 28); puncturation extremely fine and very dense, as dense on posterior as on anterior tergites; microsculpture shallow; posterior margin of tergite VII with palisade fringe.</p> <p>3: sternite VIII oblong, its posterior margin pointed in the middle (Figs 32-33); median lobe of aedeagus shaped as in Figs 36-37; apical lobe of paramere rather long, with short apical, long thin intermediate, and two long basal setae (Fig. 39).</p> <p>♀: sternite VIII oblong, its posterior margin concave in the middle and with modified stout marginal setae (Figs 34-35); spermatheca as in Fig. 39.</p> <p>E t y m o l o g y: The name (Lat., adj.) is derived from the name of the mountain range, where the type localities are situated.</p> <p>C o m p a r a t i v e n o t e s: From the similar O. abdominalis and O. kartabensis, the species is distinguished especially by the morphology of the primary sexual characters (large crista apicalis, shape of ventral process of aedeagus, shape of spermatheca). From the former, it is additionally separated by the more distinctly punctate pronotum, the somewhat more massive antennae, the slightly smaller eyes, and the usually less distinctly bicoloured body. From the latter, it is also distinguished by the slightly smaller eyes, the shorter elytra, and the shorter hind wings.</p> <p>D i s t r i b u t i o n a n d b i o n o m i c s: The species is currently known only from the Ziyaret Dağı in southern Antakya province, central southern Anatolia, not far from the Syrian border (Map 1). The types were sifted from the litter of shrubs (oak, laurel) at an altitude of 760- 930 m.

Usual coloration: blackish brown, with the pronotum, the elytra, the posterior margins of the abdominal segments, and the abdominal apex slightly paler, dark brown; legs light brown; antennae dark brown, with the basal 2-3 antennomeres somewhat paler; occasionally, the body may be of darker or of slightly paler coloration. Habitus as in Fig. 17.</p> <p>Head approximately as wide as long; puncturation fine, shallow, indistinct; microsculpture shallow, but distinct (Fig. 18); eyes moderately large (Fig. 19), weakly projecting from lateral outline of head, slightly shorter than postocular region in dorsal view. Antenna as in Fig. 20, antennomere X approximately 1.5 times as wide as long. Preapical joint of maxillary palpus approximately twice as long as wide.</p> <p>Pronotum 1.35-1.40 times as wide as head and approximately 1.30 times as wide as long (Fig. 18); maximal width in or slightly behind middle; puncturation fine, but less so than that of head, dense, and shallow; microsculpture shallow, but distinct; surface with little shine.</p> <p>Elytra slightly wider than pronotum and at suture approximately as long as pronotum; puncturation fine and dense, usually slightly more distinct than that of pronotum; microsculpture distinct; surface mostly with somewhat more shine than pronotum. Hind wings fully developed. Legs moderately slender; metatarsomere I long, as long as or even longer than combined length of metatarsomeres II-IV.</p> <p>Abdomen slightly narrower than elytra; widest at segments V / VI, segments VII-VIII weakly tapering (Fig. 17); puncturation extremely fine and very dense, slightly less dense on posterior than on anterior tergites; microsculpture shallow; posterior margin of tergite VII with palisade fringe.</p> <p>3: sternite VIII approximately as long as wide, its posterior margin pointed in the middle (Fig. 21); median lobe of aedeagus shaped as in Figs 23-25, ventral process distinctly angled in lateral view, internal structures of highly distinctive shape; apical lobe of paramere rather long, with short apical, long thin intermediate, and two long basal setae (Fig. 26).</p> <p>♀: sternite VIII transverse, its posterior margin broadly convex (Fig. 22); spermatheca as in Fig. 27.</p> <p>E t y m o l o g y: The name (Lat., adj.) refers to the resemblance of the subapical structures of the aedeagus with a cockscomb.</p> <p>C o m p a r a t i v e n o t e s: Among the Eastern Mediterranean congeners, Oxypoda cristata is most similar and also most closely related to O. moreatica SCHEERPELTZ from Greece, a conclusion suggested by the similarly derived morphology of the aedeagus. From this species, O. cristata is reliably distinguished only by the primary sexual characters, i. e. the distinctly angled ventral process and the internal structures of the aedeagus, as well as the shape of the spermatheca.</p> <p>D i s t r i b u t i o n a n d b i o n o m i c s: The known range of the species extends from northeastern Greece to central southern Anatolia. It is apparently not very rare in southern Anatolia from Muğla in the west to Kahramanmaraş in the east (Map 2). It is was mostly sifted from leaf litter in various forested and unforested biotopes, at a wide range of altitudes, from 150 m to 1850 m. A dissected female collected in July had a mature egg in the ovaries.</p></div> 	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03D587DAF431FFA293E1FD809FEC70FA	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Coloration variable; usual coloration: head dark brown to blackish brown; pronotum and elytra brown; abdomen dark brown to blackish brown, with the posterior margins of segments III-VI, the posterior half of segment VII, and the abdominal apex ferrugineous; legs yellowish to lightbrown; antennae dark brown, with the basal 3 antennomeres paler; maxillary palpus brown. Often body darker, extensively blackish or blackish brown, or paler.</p> <p>Head approximately as wide as long; puncturation very fine and rather dense; microsculpture shallow, but distinct; eyes moderately large, shorter than postocular region in dorsal view (Fig. 43). Antenna moderately long; antennomere IV usually approximately as wide as long; V weakly transverse; X less than twice as wide as long; XI in both sexes weakly constricted in the middle (Fig. 42). Penultimate joint of maxillary palpus elongated, approximately 3 times as long as wide or somewhat longer.</p> <p>Pronotum of variable shape, about 1.40-1.55 times as wide as head and 1.20-1.30 times as wide as long (Fig. 41); maximal width slightly behind middle; puncturation fine and very dense, but of somewhat variable density, more or less distinct; microsculpture more or less distinct; surface with more or less reduced shine.</p> <p>Elytra of variable length and width, slightly to distinctly wider than pronotum and at suture approximately as long as pronotum or shorter; puncturation similar to or more distinct than that of pronotum, fine and very dense; microsculpture indistinct. Hind wings fully developed. Legs slender; metatarsomere I longer than the combined length of metatarsomeres II-IV.</p> <p>Abdomen distinctly narrower than elytra, gradually tapering posteriad; puncturation extremely dense and extremely fine, surface with reduced satin shine; posterior margin of tergite VII with palisade fringe.</p> <p>3: sternite VIII oblong, its posterior margin distinctly pointed in the middle (Fig. 44); median lobe of aedeagus shaped as in Figs 46-50, with small crista apicalis and with characteristic apical structures and short flagellum in internal sac; apical lobe of paramere very long, with one short apical and three long setae (Fig. 51).</p> <p>♀: sternite VIII oblong, its posterior margin convex and with weakly modified, relatively thin marginal setae (Fig. 45); spermatheca with duct of variable shape (Figs 52, 65-68).</p> <p>I n t r a s p e c i f i c v a r i a t i o n: The species is extremely variable not only in external characters such as the coloration, the puncturation (density, depth), microsculpture, and the relative size of elytra and pronotum, but also in the shape of the spermatheca (Figs 52, 65-68), even in specimens from the same locality (see Figs 65-66).</p> <p>C o m p a r a t i v e n o t e s: Among the congeners known to occur in Turkey, the most similar congeners are O. cristata and O. lurida. From the former, the new species is separated especially by larger average body size, the more distinctly tapering abdomen, the often more pronounced puncturation of the pronotum, the longer metatarsomere I, and especially by the completely different morphology of the primary and secondary sexual characters. From the latter, it is readily distinguished by the less elongated third joint of the maxillary palpus. Oxypoda libanotica also very much resembles O. brevicornis STEPHENS, which is widespread in the Western Palaearctic region, but has not yet been recorded from Turkey. Owing to enormous intraspecific variation in both species, they are reliably distinguished only based on their primary sexual characters.</p> <p>D i s t r i b u t i o n a n d b i o n o m i c s: Oxypoda libanotica, which was previously known only from Lebanon, is here reported from Greece and Turkey for the first time. In southern Turkey, it has been recorded from Izmir in the west to Kahramanmaraş and Antakya in the east (Map 3). Most, if not all the types were sifted from leaf litter of deciduous trees, fir, and shrubs at a wide range of altitudes (700-1750 m).</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03D587DAF433FFAC93E1FBBB9DF173E8	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Beirut (NHMW).</p> <p>D i a g n o s i s: 2.8-3.2 mm; habitus as in Fig. 227. Highly similar to the evidently very closely related O. hatayana ASSING from central southern Anatolia (see descriptions in ASSING 2004b, in press), but distinguished as follows:</p> <p>Body larger and more distinctly bicoloured: head dark brown to blackish, distinctly darker than the reddish or reddish-yellow pronotum. Puncturation of forebody denser and more distinct (especially on head and pronotum). Eyes larger (Fig. 229), only slightly shorter than postocular region in dorsal view. Antenna as in Fig. 230. Pronotum relatively larger, 1.35-1.45 times as wide as head. Elytra relatively longer, at suture 0.80-0.90 times as long as pronotum (Fig. 228). Metatarsomere I longer, as long as or even longer than the combined length of metatarsomeres II-IV. Abdomen with much denser and more distinct puncturation (Fig. 231); palisade fringe at posterior margin of tergite VII more distinct.</p> <p>3: sternite VIII as in Fig. 232; median lobe of aedeagus as in O. hatayana apically bifid (Fig. 234), but with relatively shorter and more strongly bent ventral process (lateral view), with less pronounced crista apicalis, and with internal structures of slightly different shape (Fig. 233); apical lobe of paramere as in O. hatayana.</p> <p>♀: sternite VIII of similar shape as in O. hatayana, its posterior margin almost truncate, with distinctly modified stout marginal setae (Fig. 235); spermatheca of similar shape as in O. hatayana (Fig. 236).</p> <p>C o m m e n t s: The original description of O. cingulum is based on two syntypes from " Syrien... ohne nähere Fundortsangabe" and from "Beirut" (BERNHAUER 1902). The former is a female and deposited in the Berrnhauer collection at the FMNH. The latter was found in the collections of the NHMW; it is a male and here designated as the lectotype.</p> <p>C o m p a r a t i v e n o t e s: Among other Eastern Mediterranean congeners of intermediate size, the species is characterised especially by its coloration, its relatively long, apically weakly incrassate, pale reddish antennae (similar to that of Derocala species), the dense puncturation, the rather short elytra, the reduced hind wings, the dense puncturation of the abdomen, and by the morphology of the genitalia. Oxypoda cingulum belongs to the O. brachyptera group, as can be inferred from the shape and chaetotaxy of the apical lobe of the paramere and from the morphology of the median lobe of the aedeagus, especially the apically bifid ventral process. From most species of this group, O. cingulum is separated by larger size alone.</p> <p>D i s t r i b u t i o n: The species is known only from the surroundings of Beyrouth, Lebanon. Recent records have, to my knowledge, not become known.</p></div> 	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03D587DAF43FFFA993E1FCF79D2973B3	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Both species are nevertheless easily distinguished: in O. flavocaudata, the antennae have less transverse preapical antennomeres, the pronotum is less convex in cross-section, more transverse, and less densely punctured, the elytra are less densely punctured, the median lobe of the aedeagus has a much smaller crista apicalis and two longer hook-like structures in the internal sac (in O. flavicornis only one shorter hook-like structure), the apical seta of the apical lobe of the paramere is much longer, and the spermatheca has a distinctly longer duct. According to LÖBL &amp; SMETANA (2004), O. flavicornis has been recorded from Turkey, too, but I have seen no material of that species from there.</p> <p>D i s t r i b u t i o n a n d b i o n o m i c s: The currently known distribution extends from Muğla to Mersin, southwestern Anatolia (Map 4). Most, if not all the specimens were sifted from leaf litter (oak, sycamore, laurel).

Metatarsomere I of moderate length, slightly longer than the combined length of metatarsomeres II-III, but shorter than the combined length of II-IV.</p> <p>Abdomen from segment III to VII subparallel, slightly narrower than elytra; puncturation fine, dense, and distinct on anterior tergites, very fine and sparse on posterior tergites; maximal width at segments IV/ V; puncturation and pubescence extremely fine and dense, barely noticeable; microsculpture absent on anterior tergites, very shallow on posterior tergites; posterior margin of tergite VII with narrow palisade fringe.</p> <p>3: sternite VIII weakly oblong, its posterior margin strongly convex in the middle (Fig. 167); median lobe of aedeagus shaped as in Figs 168-170, with pronounced crista apicalis and crista proximalis, apically unincised ventral process, and with weakly sclerotised structures and a flagellum of moderate length in internal sac; apical lobe of paramere relatively short, with short fine apical and three long subapical and basal setae (Fig. 171).</p> <p>♀: unknown.</p> <p>E t y m o l o g y: The name (Lat., adj.) is derived from the name of the mountain where the type locality is situated.</p> <p>C o m p a r a t i v e n o t e s: The only described species of similarly small size and with reduced hind wings known to occur in central southern Anatolia is the highly variable and wing-dimorphic O. biformis ASSING. Based on the similar morphology of the median lobe of the aedeagus, the paramere, and of on the similar external characters, both species are closely related. From O. biformis, the new species is distinguished by larger (in relation to pronotum) and more transverse head, the longer antennae with more strongly transverse antennomeres IV-X (especially antennomere IV), the more oblong third joint of the maxillary palpi, the more pronounced puncturation of the pronotum and the elytra, the sparser and more distinct puncturation of the abdomen, the more pronounced shine of the abdomen, and by the different morphology of the aedeagus, especially the longer and apically much more slender ventral process of the median lobe, the weakly pronounced internal structures, and the even more pronounced crista apicalis. From similar species of the O. brachyptera group from Greece, it is readily separated by the shorter apical lobe of the paramere and by the apically unincised ventral process of the aedeagus.</p> <p>D i s t r i b u t i o n a n d b i o n o m i c s: The species is currently known only from one locality in the Ahır Dağı, Kahramanmaraş, central southern Anatolia (Map 4). The holotype was collected by sifting litter of small cedar, juniper, and grass on a dry slope with snow at an altitude of 1850 m.</p> <p>The eastern Mediterranean species of the subgenus Thliboptera THOMSON 1859,</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03D587DAF439FFAB93E1FBB49A507496	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Coloration variable: head dark blackish brown to blackish; pronotum castaneous to black; elytra reddish to blackish brown; abdomen dark brown to black, with the margins of the segments often paler; legs reddish yellow to light brown; antennae brown to dark brown, with the basal 3-4 antennomeres paler.</p> <p>Head with distinct microsculpture and with relatively dense and fine, but distinct puncturation; eyes moderately large, approximately as long as postocular region in dorsal view (Fig. 11); antennae slender, all antennomeres oblong (Fig. 12); penultimate joint of maxillary palpus approximately three times as long as wide.</p> <p>Pronotum relatively large and moderately transverse; puncturation slightly finer and denser than that of head; microsculpture shallower than that of head (Fig. 11). Elytra at suture approximately 0.8 times as long as pronotum (brachypterous morph) or approximately 0.9 times as long as pronotum (macropterous morph); puncturation dense and slightly asperate. Hind wings dimorphic; either of reduced length, weakly projecting from under elytral hind margins (Fig. 11), or fully developed. Legs slender; metatarsomere I approximately as long as combined length of metatarsomeres II-IV or even slightly longer. Abdomen widest at segments III/IV, slightly tapering posteriad; puncturation and pubescence very fine and dense; microsculpture indistinct or absent, interstices shining; posterior margin of tergite VII with narrow palisade fringe.</p> <p>3: tergite VIII approximately 1.15-1.20 times as long as wide, its posterior margin weakly concave in the middle; sternite VIII 1.10-1.15 times as long as wide, its posterior margin broadly convex (Fig. 13); median lobe of aedeagus as in Fig. 15.</p> <p>♀: posterior margin of sternite VIII truncate; spermatheca as in Fig. 16.</p> <p>C o m p a r a t i v e n o t e s: From other Turkish species of Thliboptera, O. antennata is distinguished especially by the long antennae, its large size, its wing dimorphism, and the sexual characters, particularly the median lobe of the aedeagus and its subapical internal structures.</p> <p>C o m m e n t s: In the original description of O. lindbergi, which is based on a single holotype male, SCHEERPELTZ (1958) erroneously attributed the species to the subgenus Oxypoda MANNERHEIM, suggesting a closer relationship to O. lividipennis MANNERHEIM - now a synonym of O. acuminata (STEPHENS) - and O. longipes MULSANT &amp; REY.</p> <p>An examination of the type material of both O. lindbergi and O. mysica revealed that they are doubtlessly conspecific. According to ZERCHE (in prep.), who studied type material both of O. antennata and of O. mysica, the latter is a junior synonym of the former. Consequently, both O. mysica and O. lindbergi are here placed in the synonymy of the senior name O. antennata.</p> <p>D i s t r i b u t i o n a n d b i o n o m i c s: The speciesisapparently rather widespread in Turkey (Map 5). It has been collected in the Uludağ and the Abant Dağı in northwestern Anatolia (FAGEL 1971), as well as in various localities in southern Turkey (Antalya, Mersin, Adana, Kahramanmaraş); queries aiming at an identification of the type locality of O. lindbergi (" Chamounis ") were unsuccessful, but it should be situated in the Van lake area, since it was collected one day before Lindberg was in Van on the eastern shore of lake Van (SCHEERPELTZ 1958). Most, if not all of the examined specimens were sifted from forest leaf litter; the altitudes range from 1150 to 1900 m.</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03D587DAF43BFFB493E1FAA99DBA7327	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

It is also characterised by the distinctly convex and relatively long pronotum (somewhat resembling that of O. togata), by the dense puncturation of the forebody, by the reduced hind wings, by the rather short and not very massive antennae, and by the strongly convex posterior margin of the male sternite VIII.</p> <p>C o m m e n t s: The original description of this species is based on a single holotype specimen from the Uludağ, where it was collected at an altitude of 1800-1900 m. The holotype was not seen, but considering that the above material was collected at or in the immediate vicinity of the type locality and that it is in good agreement with the morphological characters indicated in the original description, there is little doubt that the present interpretation is accurate.</p> <p>D i s t r i b u t i o n a n d b i o n o m i c s: The species has become known only from the Uludağ, Bursa, where it was collected at an altitude of 1800-1900 m (FAGEL 1971).</p></div> 	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03D587DAF425FFB793E1FB9E9EAB72B0	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

From O. micans from Greece, the new species is separated by the apically more slender and more acute ventral process of the median lobe of the aedeagus, by the different shape of the long internal structures in the internal sac of the aedeagus, by the hook-like shape of the flagellum-like structure in the internal sac (in O. micans simply angled), by the more transverse, less convex (crosssection), and less distinctly microsculptured pronotum, and by the less densely punctured abdomen. For an illustration of the aedeagus of O. micans see Fig. 108.</p> <p>D i s t r i b u t i o n a n d b i o n o m i c s: The species was found in various localities in Mersin, Kaharamanmaraş, Adıyaman, and Antakya provinces, central southern Anatolia (Map 6).

In a footnote on the same page, he also described another similar species from "Kars-er-Rabbat" (Jordan), O. laeviuscula - a name omitted from the Palaearctic catalogue (LÖBL &amp; SMETANA 2004). TRONQUET (1998) studied material from the Peyerimhoff collection and some additional specimens from Syria and Iran in the Fauvel collection, and, probably believing that the description of O. laeviuscula was invalid, described O. laeviuscula as a new species again. He designated a specimen from the Peyerimhoff collection, which was apparently collected together with the type material of O. laeviuscula BERNHAUER, as the holotype and the remaining specimens from the Fauvel and Peyerimhoff collections as paratypes. Shortly afterwards, however, realising that O. laeviuscula BERNHAUER was a valid species, TRONQUET (1999) designated the holotype of O. laeviuscula TRONQUET as the lectotype and a female from the same locality as paralectotypes of O. laeviuscula BERNHAUER, without formally establishing the homonymic synonymy of the former with the latter. According to TRONQUET (pers. comm., January 2006), who also studied the holotype of O. wankai, the type material of O. laeviuscula is conspecific with O. wankai. A photograph of a type specimen of O. laeviuscula sent to me by Tronquet confirms this synonymy. Consequently, both O. laeviuscula BERNHAUER and O. laeviuscula TRONQUET are synonyms of O. wankai BERNHAUER (see synonymic list above).</p> <p>D i s t r i b u t i o n: Oxypoda wankai is apparently very rare, but widespread (Map 8). It was previously known from Greece (Thessaloniki, holotype of O. wankai), Jordan, and Syria (TRONQUET 1999); the record from Syria is not indicated by LÖBL &amp; SMETANA (2004). TRONQUET (1999) also reports the species from Iran based on two labels attached to a male from the Fauvel collection: 'Perse méridionale,... (étiquette supplémentaire " Baku ")'. However, these labels probably refer to two different specimens, one of them apparently given away by Fauvel without removing the label, since Baku is in Azerbaijan and not even close to southern Iran. In view of the uncertainty regarding this locality, the record is omitted from Map 8. Oxypoda wankai is here reported from Turkey (Gaziantep, Antakya) for the first time.</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03D587DAF42EFFBE93E1FC549FDA73F7	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

External characters as in O. collaris (Figs 193-196), but distinguished as follows:</p> <p>Coloration as in O. collaris, but pronotum and maxillary palpi on average darker, dark brown to blackish; legs on average darker, with the tibiae and tarsi brown, and the femora usually dark brown. Head more weakly oblong (Fig. 194); eyes (Fig. 195) approximately as long as postocular region in dorsal view. Antennae shorter (Fig. 196), antennomere XI in 3 slightly longer than combined length of IX-X, in ♀ approximately as long as combined length of IX-X. Pronotum distinctly larger and more transverse, 1.60-1.65 times as wide as head and approximately 1.3 times as wide as long (Fig. 194); maximal width behind middle and more strongly narrowed anteriorly; hypomera not visible in lateral view. Metatarsus approximately as long as metatibia; metatarsomere I of variable length, usually about as long as or slightly longer than combined length of II-III, rarely almost as long as the combined length of II-IV. Tergite VIII as in Fig. 217.</p> <p>3: posterior margin of sternite VIII projecting posteriad, but not sharply pointed (Figs 218-219); median lobe of aedeagus of highly variable size, 0.54-0.70 mm from apex of ventral process to base; on average larger than in O. collaris, with longer ventral process, with more pronounced crista apicalis, and with internal structures of different shape (Figs 197-204); apical lobe of paramere as in Fig. 205.</p> <p>♀: sternite VIII weakly oblong, its posterior margin as in O. collaris (Fig. 220); spermatheca similar to that of O. collaris (Fig. 206).</p> <p>I n t r a s p e c i f i c v a r i a t i o n: The species is subject to considerable intraspecific variation, which not only involves external characters such as size, coloration, the density of the puncturation, and the length of the tarsomeres, with the first metatasomere occasionally almost as long as the combined length of metatarsomeres II-IV. Also, the size of the aedeagus (0.54-0.70 mm from apex of ventral process to base), the shape of the ventral process (straight to somewhat bent), and the shapes (length, etc.) of the internal structures are rather variable. This variability is so pronounced that the specimens from Turkey and Israel were at first believed to represent a distinct species. However, a comparison with material from various other regions in southern and central Europe revealed that variation is considerable even within populations and that there are no constant differences in the shape and internal structures of the aedeagus.</p> <p>C o m p a r a t i v e n o t e s: From the similar and syntopic O. disiuncta and O. collaris, O. longipes is distinguished especially by the larger and more transverse pronotum, by the relatively longer metatarsomere I, the usually less extensively infuscate elytra, and by the shape and internal structures of the aedeagus.</p> <p>C o m m e n t s: Oxypoda fallaciosa, whose original description is based on few specimens from Jerusalem (SAULCY 1865), is currently regarded as a synonym of Nehemitropia lividipennis (MANNERHEIM). Some details indicated in the original description, however, would suggest that this name is actually a synonym of O. longipes. SAULCY (1865) compares O. fallaciosa with O. vittata and O. opaca stating that it is of similar coloration and morphology (including size), that the metatarsi are longer, and the male sternite VII is triangularly prolonged posteriorly and in this respect similar to that of O. opaca. Type material was looked for, but not found in the Saulcy collection in the MNHNP.</p> <p>D i s t r i b u t i o n: Oxypoda longipes is widespread in Europe and has even been recorded from the Eastern Palaearctic region (LÖBL &amp; SMETANA 2004). In the Middle East, it had previously been reported from Lebanon (BERNHAUER 1902) and Turkey (ASSING 2004b). It is here reported from Israel for the first time (Map 11).</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03D587DAF42BFF8593E1FBA29DF57471	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
