Abstract

Typen und weiteres Material von 13 Gattungen der Tribus Lomechusini aus der Ostpaläarktis und der Orientalis werden revidiert. Insgesamt werden 28 Arten beschrieben und/oder abgebildet, 17 davon neu: Orphnebius (Deroleptus) triacuminatus spec. nov. (Thailand) aus der O. draco-Gruppe; O. (D.) gracilis spec. nov. (Südindien) und O. (D.) protuberatus spec. nov. (Südindien) aus der O. niger-Gruppe; O. (D.) pertortus spec. nov. (Nordindien: Westbengalen), O. (D.) migrus spec. nov. (Nordostindien: Meghalaya) und O. (D.) reticulipennis spec. nov. (Indonesien: Java) aus der O. siwalikensis-Gruppe; Pheidologitonetes bursata spec. nov. (Südindien); Amaurodera bicarinata spec. nov. (Nordostindien: Meghalaya); A. gilvicornis spec. nov. (Thailand); A. latisulcata spec. nov. (Indonesien: Java); A. brevipes spec. nov. (Indonesien: Sumatra); A. migritheca spec. nov. (Indonesien: Sumatra); A. longisetosa spec. nov. (Malaysia: Sabah); A. calicitheca spec. nov. (Malaysia: Sabah); Drusilla lativentris spec. nov. (China: Yunnan); Rabdotodrusilla vara spec. nov. (Nordostindien: Meghalaya); Witteia tensa spec. nov. (China: Yunnan). Zwei Namen werden neu kombiniert bzw. synonymisiert: Pheidologitonetes adesi (Pace, 1998), comb. nov. (ex Zyrastilbus); Drusilla obliqua (Bernhauer, 1916) = D. palata Assing, 2015, syn. nov. Zyrastilbus angkorensis Pace, 2004 ist mit der Typusart von Zyrastilbus Cameron, 1939 nicht kongenerisch, die korrekte Gattungszugehörigkeit (Drusilla?) ist derzeit unsicher. Ein aktualisierter Katalog der insgesamt 174 in der Ostpaläarktis und Orientalis vertretenen beschriebenen Arten der Gattung Orphnebius Motschulsky, 1858 wird erstellt; die Arten werden, soweit möglich, Artengruppen zugeordnet. Die in der südlichen Ostpaläarktis und der Orientalis verbreitete Gattung Amaurodera Fauvel, 1905 enthält derzeit 53 beschriebene Arten. Weitere Nachweise von 46 beschriebenen und drei unbenannten Arten werden gemeldet, darunter mehrere Erstnachweise. Die Verbreitungsgebiete zweier im Himalaya verbreiteter Orphnebius-Arten werden anhand von Karten illustriert.
