            <p> Note. Pic (1941a) described ‘  Anthicus magnini basithorax ’ from Crete as a subspecies. Since the original description of ‘  Anthicus magnini ’ is unknown and likely was never published, this name was treated as nomen nudum by Chandler et al. (2004: 150) and the subspecific taxon - as  Anthicus basithorax (Chandler et al. 2004, 2008, Telnov 2020a). Kejval &amp; Chandler (2020: 131) placed this taxon in  Microhoria based on the examination of the syntypes (MNHN) of an apparently undescribed ‘  Anthicus magnini ’. We managed to allocate a female syntype of  M. basithorax and herewith confirm the generic placement of this species in  Microhoria . </p>
            <p> Synonym. Only a single female syntype of  M. basithorax was available for the present study. The specimen generally agrees in external morphology with the holotype of  M. cerrutii and the additional specimens discussed herein and is slightly different from the externally similar specimens from Crete described herein as  M. berrai ,  M. mammuthus , and  M. melecisi spp. nov. Since the shape and structure of male terminalia and genital organs of the examined specimens cannot be compared with those of the type material of  M. basithorax , our concept of this species is tentative. However, considering the external similarity of the studied female syntype of  M. basithorax with the comparative specimens and the type material of  M. cerrutii , we introduce a new synonym. </p>
            <p>Supplementary description. Male from the Omalos Plateau collected 22.6.1989, total body length 2.5 mm. Head 0.6 mm long, across compound eyes 0.5 mm wide,</p>
            <p> Notes on Some Greek  Microhoria Chevrolat, 1877 (  Insecta :  Coleoptera :  Anthicidae ) with New Descriptions and Synonymy pronotum 0.4 mm long, maximum width 0.4 mm, elytra 1.5 mm long, maximum combined width 0.95 mm. Dorsum and venter uniformly black to black-brown, basal grove of pronotum dorsally and laterally reddish brown (dark in the second studied male, reddish brown in the female syntype). Mouthparts, antenna and legs yellowish brown, four terminal antennomeres and femora darker brownish. Head slightly longer than wide, head base and posterior temporal angle rounded in one broad arc. Compound eye moderate, moderately protruding from lateral outline of head, about 1.6‒1.7× as long as converging-rounded tempus. Head dorsum slightly glossy, moderately dense and rather large punctate. Intervening spaces smooth, about 1.5× as wide as punctures. Dorsal cranial setae yellowish, moderately long, rather dense, subdecumbent. Antenna hardly enlarged in apical third. Antennomeres 8‒10 trapezoidal, shortened compared to antennomeres 1‒5. Penultimate antennomere as long as wide. Terminal antennomere elongate, apically rounded, about 1.9× as long as penultimate antennomere, shorter than combined length of antennomeres 9‒10. Terminal maxillary palpomere securiform. Pronotum as long as wide, slightly narrower than head across eyes, subtruncate medially at anterior margin, broadly rounded at anterolateral angles. Pronotal disc slightly glossy, flattened in dorsal aspect. Anterior portion of pronotum moderately wider than posterior, lateral margins slightly converge in posterior half. Latero-basal pronotal fovea broad and deep. Pronotal punctures less deep and sparser than those on head dorsum, generally elliptical. Intervening spaces as wide as to twice as wide as punctures, smooth. Dorsal pronotal setation similar to that on head. Scutellar shield small, apically broadly rounded, minutely punctate. Elytra about 1.6× as long as wide, laterally slightly rounded, rounded at apex, dorsally flattened. Humerus distinct, broadly rounded. Apex of elytron modified, with a bunch of short setae at gland channel opening. Elytral surface slightly glossy, smaller and sparser punctate than forebody. Intervening spaces variable, gene-rally as wide as to 3× as wide as punctures, smooth. Elytral setae yellowish, moderately long and dense, subdecumbent, directed posteriorly. Metathoracic wings fully developped (functional). Legs without modifications, tibial terminal spurs paired. Basal metatarsomere as long as to slightly longer than combined length of remaining metatarsomeres. Tergite VII truncate at posterior margin (Fig. 2F). Morphological sternite VII broad, shallowly emarginate medially at posterior margin, with a long seta each side of emargination (Fig. 2E). Tergite VIII rounded at posterior margin, with several moderately long setae (Fig. 2G). Morphological sternite VIII narrow, rounded and medially emarginate at posterior margin (Fig. 2H). Morphological sternite IX Y-shaped, lateral arms long, basal stem short (Fig. 2I). Aedeagus (Fig. 2A–D) subcylindrical, apex of tegmen hooked; endophallic armature with long, paired, sicklelike, basally bifurcate (Fig. 2C) or widened (Fig. 2B), apically acutely-angulate spines and a group of shorter, subparallel, apically variably obtuse-shaped spines. </p>
            <p>Intraspecific variability. Pronotum is entirely reddish or pronotal base is yellowishbrown in some specimens. Density of dorsal punctures vary, especially those on forebody.</p>
            <p>Sexual dimorphism. Female body somewhat more robust, elytra comparatively wider, elytral apex without modifications, tergite VII apically shallowly, morphological sternite VII – rather deeply emarginate, morphological sternite IX rod-like (Fig. 3).</p>
            <p>Differential diagnosis. This species is primarily specific in the shape and structure of the male aedeagus and the morphological sternite VII and the female tergite and morphological sternite VII.</p>
            <p>Ecology. Occurs from coastal lowlands (5 m) to the Omalos Plateau at 1000‒1500 m.</p>
            <p>Distribution. Greece: Crete.</p>

            <p> Note.   Pic (1986: 180) described  Anthicus rubriceps from ‘ Syrie, Crète, Cyclades’. Telnov (2022: 282) discovered and redescribed a male syntype from ‘Syrie’ and designated it as the lectotype to maintain the </p>
            <p> 86 nomenclatural stability driven by the fact that ‘Syrie’ was listed first among the type localities for this taxon. Two other syntypes (one male, one not sexed) from ‘Ins. Creta’, became paralectotypes. Telnov (2022) suggested that the paralectotypes of  M. rubriceps from Crete are mislabelled or belong to a different species. We here demonstrate that the two paralectotypes from Crete (see Differential diagnosis below) are not conspecific with the lectotype  M. rubriceps and make them paratypes of  M. berrai sp. nov. The type material of  M. rubriceps from ‘Cyclades’ has not been found by any previous or present study, and it remains unknown to which species it belongs. The variety ‘ rubronotatus ’ (Pic 1896: 180) from Dodecanese Islands is treated as a separate species by Telnov (2022). </p>
            <p> Correction. The figure of a paralectotype of  M. rubriceps in Telnov (2022 fig. 47C) refers to a male and not a female specimen as is mistyped in the paper. </p>

Terminal antennomere elongate, apically rounded, twice as long as penultimate antennomere, shorter than combined length of antennomeres 9–10. Terminal maxillary palpomere securiform. Pronotum as long as wide, narrower than head across eyes, broadly rounded to medially subtruncate at anterior margin, broadly rounded at anterolateral angles. Pronotal disc moderately glossy, flattened in dorsal aspect. Lateral margins of pronotum converge in posterior half. Latero-basal pronotal fovea broad and deep. Pronotal punctures about as large and coarse as those on head dorsum. Intervening spaces slightly wider than punctures, smooth. Dorsal pronotal setation similar to that on head. Scutellar shield small, apically broadly rounded, minutely punctate. Elytra about 1.6× as long as wide, laterally subparallel to very broadly rounded, rounded at apex, dorsally flattened. Humerus distinct, broadly rounded. Apex of elytron modified, with short, acutely angulate denticle-like process at gland channel opening (Fig. 5A). Elytral surface moderately glossy, punctures slightly larger and less regular than those on forebody, variable shaped. Intervening spaces variable, generally twice to 3× as wide as punctures. Elytral setae pale yellowish, moderately long and dense, subdecumbent, directed posteriorly. Metathoracic wings fully developed (functional). Legs without modifications, tibial terminal spurs paired. Basal metatarsomere about as long as combined length of remaining metatarsomeres. Tergite VII truncate at posterior margin.

            <p>Sexual dimorphism. Female was not available for study.</p>
            <p>Intraspecific variability. The ♂ paratype from Vrysaes is entirely black-brown except for pale yellowish brown antennomeres 1–5 and brown legs.</p>
            <p> Differential diagnosis.  Microhoria berrai sp. nov. belongs to the  M. terminata species group as defined by Kejval &amp; Chandler (2020). In the general appearance and colouration, it strongly resembles several similarly coloured congeners from the eastern Mediterranean (for instance,  M. emaciata (Pic, 1896) ,  M. rubriceps (Pic, 1896) ,  M. rubronotata (Pic, 1896) , and some specimens of  M. terminata (W.L.E. Schmidt, 1842 )) but is peculiar in the shape of the aedeagus, the more broadly rounded elytral apex (the elytra narrower apically in  M. emaciata and  M. rubriceps ), the presence of the acute apical denticle-like process on the elytral apex (the gland channel opening not denticulate in  M. emaciata ), the less distinctly bicoloured antenna (the antenna pale yellow with four terminal antennomeres contrastingly darker in  M. emaciata and three – in  M. rubronotata ), and the medially emarginate posterior margin of the male morphological sternite VII (not emarginate in  M. emaciata ,  M. rubriceps ,  M. rubronotata ,  M. terminata ); the similarly but shallower emarginate morphological sternite VII present in  M. basithorax (see redescription above), but this species is almost entirely dark coloured (except in some specimens, see above) and the aedeagus is different. </p>

            <p> Supplementary description. Belongs to the  M. terminata species group. The male from Skiathos, Cap de Diamanti, total body length 2.7 mm. Head 0.6 mm long, across compound eyes 0.55 mm wide, pronotum 0.5 mm long, maximum width 0.5 mm, elytra 1.6 mm long, maximum combined width 1 mm. Forebody pale rufous to rufous, head darker than pronotum or not. Elytra yellow to yellowish rufous, darkened narrowly at base and apex and with external median dark spot touching lateral margin of elytron but broadly separated on disk. Mouthparts, antenna, and legs yellow to yellowish rufous, four terminal antennomeres more or less strongly darkened. Head nearly as wide as long, head base and posterior temporal angle rounded in one broad arc. Compound eye moderate, moderately protruding from lateral outline of head, nearly twice as long as tempus. Head dorsum slightly glossy, densely and moderately large punctate. Intervening spaces smooth, as wide as to (rarely) nearly twice as wide as punctures. Dorsal cranial setae yellowish, moderately long and dense. Antenna slightly enlarged in apical third. Antennomeres 8‒10 subtrapezoidal, shortened compared to antennomeres 1‒6. Penultimate antennomere distinctly longer than wide. Terminal antennomere elongate, apically rounded, about 1.5‒1.6× as long as penultimate antennomere, about as long as combined length of two previous antennomeres. Terminal maxillary palpomere securiform. Pronotum as long as wide, slightly narrower than head across eyes, rounded to subtruncate at anterior margin, broadly rounded at anterolateral angles. Pronotal disc slightly glossy, flattened in dorsal aspect. Anterior portion of pronotum wider than posterior, lateral margins subparallel in posterior half. Latero-basal pronotal fovea broad and deep. Pronotal punctures and intervening spaces similar as those on head dorsum. Dorsal pronotal setation similar to that on head. Scutellar shield small, apically broadly rounded. Elytra about 1.4‒1.6× as long as wide, laterally slightly rounded, rounded at apex, dorsally flattened. Humerus distinct, broadly rounded. Apex of elytron modified, gland opening pore minute, with a small, denticle-like process. Elytral surface slightly glossy, comparatively smaller and sparser punctate than forebody. Intervening spaces variable, generally narrower than to as wide as punctures. Elytral setae pale yellowish, moderately long and dense, not fully appressed, directed posteriorly. Metathoracic wings fully developed (functional). Legs without modifications, tibial terminal spurs paired. Basal metatarsomere about as long as combined length of remaining metatarsomeres. Tergite VII subtruncate at posterior margin (Fig. 7D). Morphological sternite VII broadly triangular, deeply V-shapely notched medially at posterior margin and with 3‒4 long (apical) and several shorter spines along notch margins (Fig. 7E‒F). Tergite VIII apically rounded and with scattered long setae, a long hair-like membranous lamina present. Morphological sternite IX Y-shaped, arms short (Fig. 7G). Aedeagus (Fig. 7A–C) with specific endophallic armature, tegmen apex shortly hoked. </p>
            <p>Sexual dimorphism. Female (Fig. 6C) generally slightly more robust than male, elytral apex without modifications, tergite VII and morphological sternite VII apically rounded (Fig. 8A‒B), tergite VIII and morphological sternite XIII as in fig. 8C, morphological sternite IX rod-like (Fig. 8C).</p>
            <p> Note. This species appears very close to  M. pallidula (Pic, 1892) sensu Bucciarelli (1980) in the shape and structure of the aedeagus, but the short, strongly sclerotized spine is not present in the endophallic armature (see note on  M. pallidula sensu Bucciarelli (1980) below). </p>
            <p>Ecology. Unknown.</p>
            <p>Distribution. Greece: mainland (Thessaly), Sporades Archipelago (Skiathos). The record from Skopje (‘Üsküb’) by Uhmann (1985) considered dubious and likely based on misidentified specimens.</p>
            <p>Chorotype. E-Mediterranean (3.03 EME).</p>

            <p>Etymology. Named after Mammuthus Brookes, 1828, the extinct genus of enigmatic elephantids of the late Miocene – Holocene, since a paired spine of endophallic armature in this new species somewhat resembles mammoth tusk. Noun in the nominative case, standing in apposition.</p>
            <p>Description. Holotype male, total body length 2.6 mm. Head 0.65 mm long, across compound eyes 0.55 mm wide, pronotum 0.45 mm long, maximum width 0.5 mm, elytra 1.5 mm long, maximum combined width 1.1 mm. Selected male paratypes 2.1–2.8 mm, selected female paratypes 2.4–2.6 mm long. Body uniformly black to black-brown, mouthparts, tibiae, tarsi and antennomeres 2‒5 yellowish brown to brown. Head longer than wide, posterior temporal angle rounded. Head base broadly rounded. Compound eye moderate, moderately protruding from lateral outline of head, about as long as converging tempus. Head dorsum moderately glossy, moderately densely and deeply punctate.</p>
            <p>98 Intervening spaces smooth, about as wide as to twice as wide as punctures. Dorsal cranial setae whitish to yellowish, moderately long and dense, not fully appressed. Antenna hardly enlarged in apical third, extending slightly beyond humeral area of elytra. Antennomere three subequal in length to antennomere two. Antennomeres 8‒10 slightly widened distally. Antennomere nine slightly longer than wide. Penultimate antennomere about as long as wide. Terminal antennomere elongate, apically rounded, about twice as long as</p>
            <p> Notes on Some Greek  Microhoria Chevrolat, 1877 (  Insecta :  Coleoptera :  Anthicidae ) with New Descriptions and Synonymy penultimate antennomere, slightly shorter than combined length of antennomeres 9–10. Terminal maxillary palpomere securiform. Pronotum hardly transverse, slightly narrower than head across eyes, broadly rounded at anterior margin (subtruncate medially), broadly rounded at anterolateral angles. Pronotal disc moderately glossy, flattened in dorsal aspect. Lateral pronotal margins slightly converge in posterior half. Latero-basal pronotal fovea moderately broad and deep. Pronotal punctures similar to those on head dorsum but larger. Intervening spaces as wide as to twice as wide as punctures, smooth. Dorsal pronotal setation whitish to yellowish, as those on head dorsum. Scutellar shield small, apically broadly rounded. Elytra about 1.3–1.4× as long as wide, laterally widened in posterior half, rounded at apex, dorsally flattened. Humerus distinct, broadly rounded. Apex of elytron modified, with short, acutely angulate denticle-like process at gland channel opening. Elytral surface moderately glossy, punctures dense but shallower than those on dorsal forebody. Intervening spaces smooth, generally as wide as to somewhat wider than punctures. Elytral setae whitish to yellowish, moderately long and dense, subdecumbent, directed posteriorly. Metathoracic wings fully developed (functional). Legs without modifications, tibial terminal spurs paired. Basal metatarsomere shorter than combined length of remaining metatarsomeres. Tergite VII subtruncate at posterior margin (Fig. 16E). Morphological sternite VII broad and short, rounded medially at posterior margin (Fig. 16D). Tergite VIII rounded at posterior margin and with some moderately long setae and with a membranous lamina (Fig. 16F). Morphological sternite VIII two membranous subtriangular sclerites interconnected by thin membrane (Fig. 16G). Morphological sternite IX Y-shaped, lateral arms long and stout (Fig. 16H). Aedeagus (Fig. 16A–C) short-cylindrical, tegmen apex short, hooked; endophallic armature of a slender, paired, equally long, basally strongly curved, tusk-like spine. Sexual dimorphism. Female (Fig. 15C) externally similar to male, elytral apex without modifications, tergite VII broadly emarginate at posterior margin (Fig. 17B), morphological sternite VII with a deep apical emargination (Fig. 17A). Morphological sternite VIII rod-like (Fig. 17C). </p>
            <p>Intraspecific variability. This species varies considerably in the body length. In some paratypes, mouthparts, antenna and legs are nearly entirely brown, in other – distinctly paler, yellowish brown. Intervening spaces on dorsal head slightly microreticulate around punctures in some paratypes, head appears slightly less glossy.</p>
            <p> Differential diagnosis.  Microhoria mammuthus sp. nov. belongs to the  M. terminata species group as defined by Kejval &amp; Chandler (2020). In the general appearance and colouration, it strongly resembles several uniformly black-coloured congeners from the eastern Mediterranean with developed elytral humeri. The new species is specific primarily in the shape and structure of the aedeagus with the relatively short and strongly curved tegmen apex and the paired, basally curved spine of the endophallic armature. The similar endophallic armature appear, for instance, in  M. angulapex (C. Koch, 1935) (Greece (Dodecanese Islands: Rhodes), W Turkey),  M. basithorax (Greece: Crete),  M. berrai sp. nov. (Greece: Crete),  M. melecisi sp. nov. (Greece: Crete). In  M. angulapex , the tegmen is apically hooked at both edges (in lateral view) and one of the hooks is significantly stronger, in  M. basithorax the spines of the endophallic armature are C-like curved and basally bifurcate, in  M. berrai sp. nov. , there is only single long, basally strongly curved spine present, and in  M. melecisi sp. nov. , the both spines are considerably thicker and distinctly subequally long. Also the female tergite and morphological sternite VII are different in shape from those in females of similar species. </p>
            <p> Ecology. Some specimens sampled in numbers from flowering bushes (  Carduus, Ceratonia ,  Olea ,  Pistacia ,  Prunus, Quercus ,  Vitis vinifera ) and other plants at 10– 250 m. </p>
            <p> Distribution. Greece (Crete). Possibly occurs sympatrically with  M. basithorax (see the localities above). </p>

            <p>Etymology. Patronymic. Named for Prof. Viesturs Melecis (University of Latvia, Rīga) for his life-time investment into entomology, insect ecology, and nature conservation.</p>
            <p>Description. Holotype male, total body length 2.7 mm. Head 0.7 mm long, across compound eyes 0.6 mm wide, pronotum 0.5 mm long, maximum width 0.5 mm, elytra 1.5 mm long, maximum combined width 0.9 mm. Female paratype 2.5 mm long. Head and elytra black to black-brown, pronotum rufous. Mouthparts, antenna, and legs yellowish, terminal maxillary palpomere, antennomeres 7‒11 and femora yellowish brown (in the paratypes from ‘Suda Bay’, also the basal antennomere is partially darkened). Venter uniformly black-brown. Head slightly longer than wide, head base and posterior temporal angle rounded. Compound eye moderate, moderately protruding from lateral outline of head, about as long as subparallel, posteriorly rounded tempus. Head dorsum moderately glossy, moderately dense and deep punctate. Intervening spaces smooth, about as wide as to 3× as wide as punctures. Dorsal cranial setae yellowish, moderately long and dense, not fully appressed. Antenna hardly enlarged in apical third, extending slightly beyond humeral area of elytra. Antennomere three slightly longer than antennomere two. Antennomeres 8‒10 shortened. Antennomere 9 slightly longer than wide. Penultimate antennomere transverse. Terminal antennomere elongate, slightly asymmetrical, apically rounded, about 2.2× as long as penultimate antennomere, about as long as combined length of antennomeres 9–10. Terminal maxillary palpomere securiform. Pronotum as long as wide, slightly narrower than head across eyes, broadly rounded to medially subtruncate at anterior margin, broadly rounded at anterolateral angles. Pronotal disc moderately glossy, flattened in dorsal aspect. Lateral pronotal margins</p>
            <p>101</p>
            <p>Dmitry Telnov, Augusto Degiovanni moderately converge in posterior half. Latero-basal pronotal fovea broad and deep. Pronotal punctures about as large and coarse as those on head dorsum. Intervening spaces slightly wider than punctures, smooth. Dorsal pronotal setation somewhat shorter than that on head. Scutellar shield small, apically broadly rounded, minutely punctate. Elytra about 1.65× as long as wide, laterally subparallel, subtruncate at apex, dorsally flattened. Humerus distinct, broadly rounded. Apex of elytron modified, with short, acutely angulate denticle-like process at gland channel opening. Elytral surface moderately glossy, punctures generally larger and less regular than those on forebody, variable in shape. Intervening spaces variable, generally as wide as to 3× as wide as punctures. Elytral setae pale yellowish, moderately long and dense, subdecumbent, directed posteriorly. Metathoracic wings fully developed (functional). Legs without modifications, tibial terminal spurs paired. Basal metatarsomere about as long as combined length of remaining metatarsomeres. Tergite VII subtruncate at posterior margin. Morphological sternite VII broad, broadly rounded at posterior margin (Fig. 19F). Tergite VIII rounded at posterior margin and with numerous moderately long setae (Fig. 19G). Morphological sternite VIII of two membranous subtriangular sclerites intercomnected by thin membrane (Fig. 19H). Morphological sternite IX Y-shaped, lateral arms short (Fig. 19H). Aedeagus (Fig. 19A–E) shortly cylindrical, tegmen apex short, hooked (the hook is poorly visible on the fig. 19A, C, D due to the suboptimal position of the tegmen apex), the apically narrowed part of tegmen also shortly hooked at apex; endophallic armature of a strong, paired, basally C-like curved spine, one distinctly shorter than another.</p>
            <p>Sexual dimorphism. Female (Fig. 18C) elytra comparatively stronger widened laterally in posterior half, elytral apex rounded, without modifications. Tergite VII and morphological sternite VII broadly rounded at posterior margin (Fig. 20).</p>
            <p> 102 Differential diagnosis.  Microhoria melecisi sp. nov. belongs to the  M. terminata species group as defined by Kejval &amp; Chandler (2020). In the general appearance and colouration, it strongly resembles several similarly coloured congeners from the eastern Mediterranean with pronotum paler than rest of body and bicoloured antennae. The new species is specific primarily in the shape and structure of the aedeagus. Additionally, in  M. corallicollis (Reitter, 1889) (Greece) the humerus is obsolete, in  M. emaciata (Pic, 1896) (Greece) the male elytral apex appears non-denticulate, in  M. kaifensis (Pic, 1896) (Jordan, Levant, S Turkey) the forebody is more regularly, comparatively stronger punctate, the femora are rufous, in  M. lafertei (Truqui, 1855) (Cyprus; unconfirmed records from Greece, Levant, Mesopotamia, Turkey) the head is somewhat paler than the elytra, the humerus is obsolete and the penultimate antennomere at most as wide as long, not transverse, in  M. leuthneri (Pic, 1897) (Levant, S Turkey) the general colouration is paler brownish and the pronotum is not contrastingly paler than the rest of the body, in  M. rubronotata (Pic, 1896) (Greece, European Turkey) the head is paler than the elytra, in the highly variable  M. terminata (widespread in S and SE Europe, southern European Russia, Turkey, recorded also from N Africa) the female elytron apex is deflected. The aedeagus of  M. melecisi sp. nov. is rather similar to that of  M. emaciata (Pic, 1896) (Greece: Crete) and  M. raveli (Pic, 1899) (Bulgaria, Greece, Italy, Turkey (the latter record requires additional confirmation)). In  M. emaciata , the paired spine of the endophallic armature is distinctly shorter, the hook of the tegmen apex is robust and strongly rounded apically, the aedeagus generally shorter cylindrical. In  M. raveli , there is only a single, thickened, curved spine in the endophallic armature. </p>
            <p>Ecology. Unknown.</p>
            <p> Distribution. Greece: Crete. Possibly occurs sympatrically with  M. emaciata around the Souda Bay (the type locality of the latter). </p>
            <p>Chorotype. E-Mediterranean (3.03 EME).</p>

Syntype   1♂ MNHN (Fig. 21B): Samos, Marathokampos [printed] // type [handwritten] // TYPE [printed, label red] //  Oertzeni Pic [handwritten]. Bucciarelli (1978: 217) reports a male holotype  which should be read syntype, since  M. oertzeni was described from unspecified number of specimens (Pic 1901b). </p>

            <p> Taxonomy. A male syntype of  M. oertzeni oertzeni discussed herein was inspected by Bucciarelli (1980: 217). However, his concept of  M. oertzeni is possibly incorrect. The studied syntype at the MNHN is remounted (glued on a rectangular paper card different from those used by Pic) and dissected, but the aedeagus was not available for the present study (moved or lost). The holotype of  var. sporadensis (conspecific with  M. oertzeni oertzeni ) is a female. Therefore, the comparison of male genitalia of the typical  M. oertzeni from Samos (Aegean islands) with the drawing of aedeagus of the specimen from Mount Athos (mainland Greece) presented by Bucciarelli (1980) was not possible in our study. It also remains unclear why Bucciarelli (1978) did not figure aedeagus of the syntype but that of the specimen from Mt. Athos (maybe the cause was the lost-duringdissection aedeagus of the syntype). Additionally, we noted the following differences of significant importance between the studied syntype and holotype and the specimens of  M. oertzeni sensu Bucciarelli (1978) from Mt. Athos: tempora somewhat converging posteriorly, rounded in one arc with head base (syntype  M. oertzeni ) / tempora subparallel posterior to eyes, converging </p>
            <p> Notes on Some Greek  Microhoria Chevrolat, 1877 (  Insecta :  Coleoptera :  Anthicidae ) with New Descriptions and Synonymy posteriorly at rounded temporal angles, head base subtruncate or comparatively broader rounded (specimen from Mt. Athos); dorsal forebody glossy, punctures moderately large and dense (syntype  M. oertzeni ) / subopaque, punctures comparatively larger and denser (specimen from Mt. Athos); pronotum slightly longer than wide, slenderer (syntype  M. oertzeni and holotype  ‘var. sporadensis ’) / slightly transverse, shorter and wider (specimen from Mt. Athos); apical sutural angle of elytron rounded (syntype  M. oertzeni and holotype  ‘var. sporadensis ’) / nearly obtusely angulate (specimen from Mt. Athos). Unfortunately, we only possess images of the type specimens of  M. oertzeni and its synonym  var. sporadensis in insufficient quality. The concept of  M. oertzeni sensu Bucciarelli (1978) requires further confirmation with remains impossible until the missing aedeagus of the syntype  M. oertzeni is found or topotypic specimens from Samos become available for study. </p>
            <p> Supplementary description. We present photographic images of the Greek specimen from Mount Athos (MSNM; det. I.Bucciarelli) of  M. oertzeni oertzeni sensu Bucciarelli (1978) and the male aedeagus of this species for the first time (Fig. 22A). Additionally, we studied the ♂ holotype of  M. oertzeni sicula Bucciarelli, 1978 at MSNM: Colla 920 F. Vitale [handwritten, black frame] // Prep. microscp. No. [printed] 526 [handwritten] [label blue] // HOLOTYPUS [printed]  Microhoria (Platyhoria) oertzeni sicula n.subsp. [handwritten] Det. Bucciarelli I. [printed] 1977 [handwritten] [label red], and provide an image of the aedeagus of this taxon (Fig. 22B). </p>
            <p>Ecology. Unknown.</p>
            <p>Distribution. Albania, Bulgaria, Greece (mainland, Aegean islands: Samos). The record from North Macedonia in Chandler et al. (2008) which was consequently followed by Telnov (2020a) is erroneous and based on misinterpretation of Bucciarelli’s (1978: 168) ‘ Macedonia, M. Athos’ in Athos Peninsula in a Greek geographic region of Macedonia and not in the country of North Macedonia. The record from Sporades Islands (Pic 1901b) is based on Pic’s misinterpretation of the geographic position of Samos Island which Pic possibly considered to be a part of the Sporades but which in fact belongs to the eastern Aegean islands. Occurrence of this species in W Turkey is very likely. Subspecies sicula Bucciarelli, 1978 is considered endemic to Sicily.</p>

            <p>Type material examined. Not allocated (see below).</p>
            <p> Taxonomy. La Ferté-Sénectère (1849a, b) twice described  Anthicus terminatus from Greece. This name became homonym since it was preoccupied by W.L.E. Schmidt (1842) who already described a species from Corfu Island named  A. terminatus (now  Microhoria terminata ). A new name  Anthicus mutatus was proposed by Pic (1892) for La Ferté-Sénectère’s species, but also this name appeared homonym since it was preoccupied by  A. mutatus of Gemminger (1870). In the same paper (Pic 1892), a name pallidulus was established for a colour variety of  A. terminatus La Ferté-Sénectère which became a valid replacement name for it. Therefore, another replacement name,  A. notatus , proposed later by Pic (1901c) is invalid and unnecessary. </p>
            <p>  The type material of  A. terminatus La Ferté-Sénectère was not allocated at the MNHN in La Ferté-Sénectère’s collection (teste D. Telnov) and is likely not properly labelled as a type, moved to different drawer or lost  . </p>
            <p>Distribution. Greece. The records from Bulgaria, China (Tibet), Croatia, NW Kazakhstan, Morocco, Poland, Romania, southern part of the European Russia, Russian W Siberia, Syria, and Turkey are dubious and require further confirmation.</p>

Pronotum, elytra, ventral pterothorax and abdomen rufous to yellowish brown, lateral area of elytron black to black-brown in posterior two thirds, the dark colouration is not touching lateral margin of elytron. Mouthparts, antenna, and legs pale rufous. Head slightly longer than wide, head base and posterior temporal angle rounded. Compound eye moderate, moderately protruding from lateral outline of head, hardly shorter than converging-rounded tempus. Head dorsum moderately glossy, sparsely and rather large punctate. Intervening spaces smooth, about 2–3× as wide as punctures. Dorsal cranial setae yellowish, long, moderately dense, not fully appressed. Antenna hardly enlarged in apical third, extending slightly beyond humeral area of elytra. Antennomere three slightly longer than antennomere two. Antennomeres 8‒10 somewhat shortened and stronger cylindrical compared to antennomeres 2‒6. Penultimate antennomere longer than wide. Terminal antennomere elongate, apically rounded, about twice as long as penultimate antennomere and about as long as combined length of antennomeres 9–10. Terminal maxillary palpomere securiform. Pronotum longer than wide, narrower than head across</p>
            <p>111</p>
            <p>Dmitry Telnov, Augusto Degiovanni eyes, broadly rounded to medially subtruncate at anterior margin, broadly rounded at anterolateral angles. Pronotal disc moderately glossy, flattened in dorsal aspect. Lateral pronotal margins converge in posterior half. Latero-basal pronotal fovea broad and deep. Pronotal punctures distinctly larger and coarser than those on head dorsum, dense (especially on posterior lobe). Intervening spaces on pronotum slightly wider than punctures, smooth. Dorsal pronotal setation similar to that on head, stronger subdecumbent. Scutellar shield small, apically broadly rounded, minutely punctate. Elytra about 1.7× as long as wide, laterally broadly rounded, rounded at apex, dorsally flattened. Humerus nearly obsolete. Apex of elytron modified, apical sutural angle produced into moderately broad, slightly upwards-curved denticle (Fig. 28A). Elytral surface slightly glossy, similarly punctate as on posterior pronotal lobe, punctures large and deep, circular to elliptical. Intervening spaces variable, generally as wide as punctures. Elytral setae yellowish, moderately long and dense, subdecumbent, directed posteriorly. Metathoracic wings at least partially developed as is visible from under the elytra (functional or nearly functional). Legs without modifications, tibial terminal spurs paired. Basal metatarsomere slightly shorter than combined length of remaining metatarsomeres. Tergite VII truncate at posterior margin (Fig. 28D). Morphological sternite VII broad, subtruncate medially at posterior margin (Fig. 28E). Tergite VIII rounded at posterior margin and with scattered long setae (Fig. 28F). Morphological sternite IX Y-shaped, lateral arms short (Fig. 28G). Aedeagus (Fig. 28B–C) elongate cylindrical, slightly sinuous laterally, apex rounded;</p>
            <p>112 endophallic armature with pair of long, rather thick, apically acutely pointed spines, slightly curved outwards and basally interconnected by a membrane of tegmen and with lateral paired row of densely spaced robust spines; basal spines much shorter and pointed apically or slightly obliquely inwardly, subapical spines long and (some) strongly curved outwards; a group of small, apically rounded median spinules between two long spines.</p>
            <p>Sexual dimorphism. Female is unknown.</p>
            <p> Differential diagnosis.  Microhoria sabellai sp. nov. belongs to the  M. longiceps species group as defined by Kejval &amp; Chandler (2020). It strongly resembles  M. decolorata (Pic, 1897) (Greece including Corfu and Samos) and the aedeagus is similar but somewhat produced apically in  M. decolorata without the median spinules and with the comparatively shorter, not outwardly curved paired lateral spines of the endophallic armature.  Microhoria globipennis (Pic, 1897) (Syria, S Turkey) is somewhat similarly coloured but the aedeagus is different (sinuous in lateral view, slender), the head is pale and the dorsal forebody distinctly denser and coarser punctured.  Microhoria truncata (Pic, 1895) (S Turkey) possess distinct humeri and the aedeagus is slenderer with different endophallic armature. The aedeagus of  M. sabellai sp. nov. is also very similar to that of  M. antalya Kejval in Kejval &amp; Chandler, 2020 (S Turkey), but the apex is strongly produced and the lateral spines of the endophallic armature – comparatively less strongly developed and not curved in  M. antalya ; no median spinules present in the endophallic armature. </p>

            <p> Synonym,  M. unicolor calliger . Based on the original descriptions and comparative material. Schmidt (1842) described ‘  Anthicus unicolor ’ from unspecified number of specimens from southern Austria, Hungary, and France (‘…Steyermark und Ungarn …, Frankreich’). Marseul (1879) described ‘  Anthicus calliger ’ also from unspecified number of specimens from southern France and continental Greece (‘ France méridionale, Hyères; Grèce, Parnasse’). Two pages beyond, Marseul (1879) also listed ‘  Anthicus unicolor Schmidt’ with related references, provided a short diagnosis for it, compared this taxon with  Anthicus caliginosus La Ferté-Sénectère, 1849 (now  Microhoria caliginosa caliginosa ), and listed ‘ Allemagne; Autriche, Dalniatie, Hongrie, Gènes; France méridionale, Marseille’ as know records for it with an additional comment ‘very rare’ (from French). Marseul (1879) placed both taxa to the ‘ XVIIIe Groupe. —  Bifossicolles ’ of  Anthicus , now a synonym of  Microhoria . In the key provided in the same monograph (Marseul 1879: 192) the author attributed  calliger to a group of species with ‘testaceous legs’ and  unicolor to a group with ‘testaceous legs and black antennae’ (from French). Both  calliger and  unicolor were treated as separate species by earlier authors (e.g., Heyden 1891; Pic 1894, 1901b, 1911 (in the latter both are considered members of Immicrohoria Pic, 1894, at that time a subgenus of  Anthicus , now a synonym of  Microhoria )) until Bonadona (1955) in his review of the French  Microhoria listed and redescribed only ‘ M. (  Platyoria [sic!])  calliger ’ and, for unstated reason and without further explanations did not mention  unicolor , </p>
            <p> 116 the taxon originally described from France (see references above). Subsequently, Bucciarelli (1976) discussed on the morphology of  Microhoria (Platyhoria) calliger from Corfu, Ionian Islands and referred to the same localities and specimens as Bonadona (1955). He also mentioned specimens from Austria and what is now North Macedonia and stated, that the Austrian specimens are different from the Greek ones in the external morphology, but aedeagus is found to be substantially identical (Bucciarelli 1976: 134‒138). In the same paper, Bucciarelli (1976) also highlighted the ‘rarity’ of this taxon and found its distribution fragmented and localities distant from each other with obvious gaps in the distribution. Interestingly, the epithet of  M. unicolor is not mentioned by this author in the context. In fact, the differences between the Austrian and Greek specimens as was summarized by Bucciarelli (1976) can be attributed to  M. unicolor and  M. calliger as follows (from Italian, adapted by the authors): </p>
            <p> i. Total body length: 2.3‒2.4 mm (  unicolor ) / 2.4‒3 mm (  calliger ); </p>
            <p> ii. Colouration of tibiae and tarsi: pale brown (  unicolor ) / dark brown (  calliger ); </p>
            <p> iii. Shape of pronotum: transverse (  unicolor ) / about as wide as long (  calliger ); </p>
            <p> iv. Elytral humerus: obsolete to hardly indicated (  unicolor ) / distinct, broadly rounded (  calliger ); </p>
            <p> v. Elytral apex in male: broadly rounded, gland channel opening with a small denticle-like process visible in dorsal view (  unicolor ) / subtruncate, apical denticle-like process not visible in dorsal view (  calliger ); </p>
            <p> vi.i. Sculpture of dorsum: forebody shiny, elytra subopaque due to the presence of a minute microsculpture (  unicolor ) / not reported (  calliger ); </p>
            <p> vi.ii. Punctures of dorsum, male: very delicate and barely perceptible on head, even finer on pronotum, very delicate and perceptible only at humerus on elytra (  unicolor ) / elytral punctures delicate on humeral and apical part, coarser on elytral disc (  calliger ); </p>
            <p> Notes on Some Greek  Microhoria Chevrolat, 1877 (  Insecta :  Coleoptera :  Anthicidae ) with New Descriptions and Synonymy vi.iii. Punctures of elytra, female: sparse and delicate, as those on pronotum (  unicolor ) / very delicate and indistinct (  calliger ); </p>
            <p> vii. Dorsal vestiture: short, whitish in both sexes (  unicolor ) / not reported (  calliger ). </p>
            <p> Bucciarelli (1978) discussed the morphology of  calliger , highlighted some misinterpretations of this taxon by previous authors and considered records of  calliger by ‘(De Marseul, 1879, p. 225) partim; Bonadona, 1955, p. 116, partim; Bucciarelli, 1976, p. 136, partim ’ referring to  unicolor . But Bucciarelli (1978) did not propose a new synonym and clearly considered  calliger a valid subspecies of  unicolor :  ‘subsp. calliger (De Marseul 1879, p. 225) partim; Bonadona, 1955, p. 116, partim; Bucciarelli, 1976, p. 136, partim’. Later, Bucciarelli (1980) highlighted the following differences between the two taxa (from Italian, adapted): short and robust pronotum, head wide, with smooth and shiny integuments among indistinct dorsal punctures, elytra oval [likely to be read elliptical] with a maximum width posterior to midlength, in male elytral apex denticulate (  unicolor ) / pronotum elongate, humerus more prominent, dorsal punctures more distinct (  calliger ). </p>
            <p> Uhmann (1985) provided additional faunistic records of both  M. calliger and  M. unicolor including those from Greece and Crete for the latter (the record from Crete is doubtful and requires further confirmation). Uhmann (1989, 1990) provided more faunistic records for  M. unicolor , including those from Greece. Telnov (2022) suggested that  M. unicolor and  M. calliger are likely conspecific based on the examined material from Greece (see Telnov 2022). During the present study we (re)examined several dozens of specimens from SE Europe including large series from Corfu (Telnov 2022) and Puglia, Italy (coll. ADC). We confirm that both morphological forms (as of Bucciarelli 1976) may occur sympatrically at the same localities. The external features as discussed above considered of low evolutionary value, appear randomly in specimens from the same localities and herewith considered unsuitable for splitting the two taxa. Therefore, a new synonymy is introduced. </p>
            <p> Synonym,  M. sydowi and subspecies. Based on the type material and the original descripttions. All three taxa apparently described from the same material collected likely the same date range and place (see Type material examined above). The varieties, not recollected since their original descriptions, were treated as subspecies by Chandler et al. (2008) in accordance with article 45.6.4 of the ICZN (1999) and subsequently followed by Telnov (2020a). The type material of  M. sydowi and its two subspecies is apparently conspecific with some minor morphological differences in the shape and comparative width of the head and pronotum, the width and length of the elytra, the presence / absence of the elytral humeri (winged / brachypterous / apterous forms), and the punctures of the dorsum. The aedeagus of the nominal form agrees with that of  M. unicolor which is known to be variable in external morphology to the same extent as explained above (see the previous paragraph) and explained by Bucciarelli (1976, 1980) and Bonadona (1990, 1991, 2013). Specimens with obsolete and available humeri can be observed at the same locality (e.g., some of the Greek localities in Telnov (2022)). Therefore, the ‘distinctive’ features of  M. sydowi syn. nov. ,  ssp. olympiae syn. nov. and  ssp. reductior syn. nov. are within the morphological variability of  M. unicolor (Fig. 29), and a new synonymy is introduced. </p>
            <p>Ecology. Kiesenwetter (1861) reported this species ‘in large numbers in various flowers’ (from German). Pic (1901) reports the species from flowering umbellifers.</p>
            <p>Distribution. Albania, Austria, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, France, Greece (incl. Zakynthos Island and Ionian Islands - Corfu), Hungary, Italy, North Macedonia, Poland, Slovakia, Turkey (also see Telnov 2022). The records from Crete (Uhmann 1985) require further confirmation and are likely based on misidentified specimens.</p>

            <p> Notes on Some Greek  Microhoria Chevrolat, 1877 (  Insecta :  Coleoptera :  Anthicidae ) with New Descriptions and Synonymy subtruncate medially at anterior margin, broadly rounded at anterolateral angles. Pronotal disc slightly glossy, flattened in dorsal aspect. Anterior portion of pronotum much wider than posterior, lateral margins strongly converge in posterior half. Latero-basal pronotal fovea broad and deep. Pronotal punctures larger and coarser than those on head dorsum, dense, variably shaped. Intervening spaces narrower to much narrower than punctures, in part flat in part subsulcate. Dorsal pronotal setation similar to that on head. Scutellar shield small, apically broadly rounded, minutely punctate. Elytra about 1.8× as long as wide, laterally broadly rounded, rounded at apex, dorsally flattened. Humerus distinct, broadly rounded. Apex of elytron modified, apical sutural angle produced into apically rounded denticle-like process and inconspicuously emarginate ahead of it (Fig. 30C). Elytral surface slightly glossy, smaller and sparser punctate than forebody. Intervening spaces variable, generally equally wide as to twice as wide as punctures. Elytral setae pale yellowish, moderately long and dense, not fully appressed, directed posteriorly. Metathoracic wings fully developped (functionnal). Legs without modifications, tibial terminal spurs paired. Basal metatarsomere as long as to slightly longer than combined length of remaining metatarsomeres. Tergite VII subtruncate at posterior margin (Fig. 31D). Morphological sternite VII broad, broadly rounded at posterior margin (Fig. 31C). Tergite VIII narrow, rounded at posterior margin, with a membranous lamina (Fig. 31E). Morphological sternite VIII of two membranous subtriangular sclerites intercomnected by thin membrane (Fig. 31F). Morphological sternite IX Y-shaped, lateral arms short (Fig. 31G). Aedeagus (Fig. 31A–B) broadly cylindrical, apically acutely-pointed; endophallic armature with a pair of long, slightly sinuous, sword-like median spines and paired lateral group of densely arranged, shorter, apically rounded spines which are pointing inwardly except at apex of tegmen, where spines becoming apically acute and are pointing laterally and anterolaterally. </p>
            <p>Sexual dimorphism. Female is unknown.</p>
            <p> Differential diagnosis.  Microhoria vetroveci sp. nov. belongs to the  M. longiceps species group as defined by Kejval &amp; Chandler (2020). This species is peculiar among all known congeners in the dorsal body colouration in the combination with the shape of male modified elytral apex and the specific shape of the aedeagus. The dorsal punctures and general appearance similar to that of  M. angulapex (C. Koch, 1935) (Greece (Dodecanese Islands), W Turkey) but the head base is truncate, the head dorsum is much denser punctured, the elytral humerus obsolete. </p>
            <p> Ecology. Specimens were beaten from the foliage of a large  Ceratonia sp. (  Fabaceae ) tree at the edge of a  Ceratonia grove, under very dry conditions (J. Větrovec pers. comm. 2024). </p>
