Abstract

New species of the genus Trichodesma LeConte, 1861 and Gastrallus Jacquelin du Val, 1860, from South Africa (Coleoptera, Anobiidae)

Continuing the review of the Anobiidae collection at the Transvaal Museum of Pretoria, we describe the following species of Anobiinae: Trichodesma endroedyyoungai n. sp., Gastrallus omedesae n. sp., G. jeremiasi n. sp., G. strydomi n. sp., G. pafuriensis n. sp., G. skukuzaensis n. sp., G. ndumuensis n. sp. and G. krugerensis n. sp. Most of these species were collected at the National Kruger Park, South Africa. As we found specimens of males of the Xyletininae, Xyletinastidius tessellatus (Español, 1971) and of the Dorcatominae, Stagetodes australis Español & Viñolas, 1995, these are described here as only females of genus Xyletinastidius (Español & Comas, 1991) and the two species were described previously.
