Meregalli A1 - Osella, Giuseppe SP - 169 EP - 177 KW - Dichotrachelus kahleni AB - A new species of Dichotrachelus is described from the Carnian Alps, Friuli-Venezia Giulia, north-eastern Italy (type locality: Moggio Udinese, Mount Sernio). The new species belongs to the D. luzei species group, previously known from Mt. Pasubio, Veneto, and Mt. Grintavec, Slovenia; its discovery in the Carnian Alps fills thus a broad gap in the distribution of this group. It is associated with Saxifraga caesia in limestone habitats; imagoes, apparently hatching in late summer, live in the small clumps of the host plants; some larvae were found among the roots. Additional specimens moderately distinct were found in the Julian Alps: taxonomic relationships between these and the type specimens of D. kahleni are discussed.

Melanopsacus grenieri is newly recorded from Sicily, and its association with the pyrenomycete fungus Hypoxylon mediterraneum is newly reported.

It includes two species: P. aequale (Reitter, 1883) from Lenkoran (Azerbajdzan) and P. kadleci sp. n. from Mazandaran (Iran). P. aequale was originally described by Reitter (1883) as Aparopion aequale but clearly does not belong in that genus on the basis of intervals not raised and structure of VIII sternite of female. A lectotype and paralectotype are here designated for P. aequale; this species is transferred from genus Aparopion as Aparopion aequale. Drawings of male and female genitalia for all species are provided. Taxonomic account and an identification key to the species are given. VL - 109 SN - 0035-418X U1 - 4726 ER -
