Pridonius Blackwelder 1952 View in CoL

Pridonius Blackwelder 1952: 321 View in CoL , as subgenus of Quedius Stephens, 1829 View in CoL (new name for Prionidus Bernhauer ). Type species: Quedius iheringi Bernhauer, 1907 View in CoL , by autotypy.

= Prionidus Bernhauer 1907: 287 , as subgenus of Quedius Stephens, 1829 View in CoL (preoccupied, not Uhler 1886 ( Hemiptera View in CoL )). Type species: Quedius iheringi Bernhauer, 1907 View in CoL , by original designation.

Notes: as valid genus, not subgenus of Quedius View in CoL , moved to Philonthina View in CoL ( Chani-Posse et al. 2018). Pridonius View in CoL is a Neotropical genus, currently with only three species known from Brazil.

Pridonius iheringi ( Bernhauer 1907) View in CoL

Quedius (Prionidus) iheringi Bernhauer 1907: 287 View in CoL . Type locality: Jundiahy, San Paolo, Brasilien. Type depository: FMNH 1 ST. Distribution: Brazil (São Paulo). Notes: comb. nov. ex Quedius View in CoL , moved to Philonthina View in CoL (Chani- Posse et al 2017).

Pridonius penetrans ( Silvestri 1946) View in CoL , comb. nov. ( Figs. 47–48 View FIGURES 45–52 )

Belonuchus penetrans Silvestri 1946: 522 View in CoL . Type locality: Campo Grande , Mato Grosso, Brasilia [ Brazil] . Type depository:? #? ST. Distribution : Brazil (Goiás, Mato Grosso) . Notes: “doubtfully termitophilous species” ( Seevers 1957); distribution within Brazil (Asenjo et al. 2013).

Remarks. Silvestri (1946) described B. penetrans based on specimens from Brazil. We have not seen the original material but we have no doubt that the specimen here examined is the species that Silvestri described, as interpreted later by Seevers (1957). This species, on the other hand, does not belong to the ‘ Belonuchus haemorrhoidalis clade’ but it is congeneric with the two currently known species of Pridonius Blackwelder , i.e., P. iheringi (Bernhauer) and P. sparsiventris (Bernhauer) .

Material examined. Specimen ♂ ( FMNH, Figs. 47–48 View FIGURES 45–52 ): mounted together with dissected genitalia, “Weiserianum?” [in Newton’s hand] det. Newton 1992 (white label)// “? Scaripaheus penetrans ” [in Newton’s hand] det. Newton 1996 (white label) // A. Newton Collection (green label) // BRAZIL: SP, Sao Paulo, 9.XI.1970, V. N. Alin (white label)”.

Pridonius sparsiventris (Bernhauer 1917)

Quedius (Prionidus) sparsiventris Bernhauer 1917e: 92 View in CoL . Type locality: Ypiranga, Brasilien. Type depository: FMNH 2ST; MZSP? 1+ST. Distribution: Brazil (São Paulo). Notes: comb. nov. ex Quedius View in CoL , moved to Philonthina View in CoL ( Chani-Posse et al. 2018).
