Treatment

Microhoria syrensis ( Pic, 1902)

Anthicus syrensis ‒ Pic 1902: 41 (description: ‘Cyclades: Syra’); Pic 1907: 125 (mentioned in a taxonomic discussion); Pic 1910: 38 (comment on an incorrect synonymy with Anthicus View in CoL (now Microhoria ) corallicollis ( Reitter, 1889) , distribution: ‘Cyclades’); Pic 1911: 76 (checklist; distribution: ‘Cycladen, Syra’); Winkler 1927: 849 (checklist; distribution: ‘Cyclad. Syra’).

‘ Anthicus syriensis [sic!] (near)’ – Georghiou 1977: 35 (record: Cyprus).

Microhoria syrensis ‒ Uhmann 1985: 201 (informal new combination, records: ‘Cap Sunion, Athen’, ‘Boulegmene, Atiki’, ‘Kykladen, Syra’, ‘Syra’); Uhmann 1989: 389 (record: ‘Paros, Cykladerna’); Telnov 1998: 170 (record: ‘Tessehin’, country unknown); Hemp & Dettner 2001: 236 (ecology: listed among canthariphilous anthicids); Chandler et al. 2008: 443 (checklist; distribution: Cyprus, Greece); Telnov 2010: 12 (lectotype designation); Telnov 2020a: 613 (checklist; distribution: Cyprus, Greece).

Type material examined. See Telnov (2010).

Taxonomy. The male lectotype has not been dissected and the shape and structure of aedeagus of this species remains unknown.

Supplementary description. This is an entirely black, dorsally glossy species with paler tibiae and tarsi. Head base subtruncate, tempora subparallel. Male terminal antennomere elongated, as long as combined length of three preceding antennomeres. Elytral apex truncate, gland channel opening with a small and slender denticle-like process.

Distribution. Greece: Cyclades Islands (Paros, Syra / Syros). The records from mainland Greece ( Uhmann 1985, 1989) and Cyprus ( Georghiou 1977; the species name also appears in an unpublished manuscript by Bryant (circa 1955) on the Cypriot fauna of coleopterous insects) require confirmation. The specimen from ‘Tessehin’ (possibly Hungary) ( Telnov 1998) is a female of M. syrensis , possibly mislabelled.

Chorotype. E-Mediterranean (3.03 EME).
