Species groups in the subgenus Epinebriola K. DANIEL, 1904 View in CoL

Epinebriola was established by K. Daniel (1904) as a monospecific subgenus of the genus Nebria when he described N. oxyptera . Up to now the subgenus Epinebriola was erroneously applied to the brothers Karl and Josef Daniel ( Löbl & Smetana 2003, Ledoux & Roux 2005), but Karl Daniel is definitely the sole author (see Daniel 1904, p. 79).

Ledoux & Roux (2005) redefined the subgenus Epinebriola and split out all taxa, which are gradually described, into four species groups:

masrina species group: N. chitralensis SHILENKOV & HEINZ, 1988 , N. kabakovi, SHILENKOV, 1982 , N. masrina masrina ANDREWES, 1924 , N. masrina calceata LEDOUx & ROUx, 2005, N. meurguesae LEDOUx, 1985, N. nouristanensis LEDOUx, 1985, N. oxyptera oxyptera K. DANIEL, 1904 , N. oxyptera alzonai DEUVE & LEDOUx, 1989, N. rotundicollis rotundicollis HEINZ & LEDOUx, 1989, N. rotundicollis tenuis HEINZ & LEDOUx, 1989, N. poplii LEDOUx 1984, N. praelonga LEDOUx, 1985;

ganeshi species group: N. barbata ANDREWES, 1929 , N. ganeshi LEDOUx, 1984, N. restricta LEDOUx & ROUx, 2005;

pindarica species group: N. pindarica ANDREWES, 1925 , N. businkyorum LEDOUx & ROUx, 1997, N. laevistriata LEDOUx & ROUx, 1998;

zayula species group: N. orestias ANDREWES, 1932 , N. rasa ANDREWES, 1936 , N. schawalleri SHILENKOV, 1998 , N. tangjelaensis SHILENKOV,1998 , N. zayula ANDREWES, 1936 .

Some characters used in the redefinition of the subgenus Epinebriola by Ledoux & Roux (2005) are obviously inconstant. The penultimate palpomere of the labial palpus, for instance, is occasionally bisetose instead of trisetose, or the endophallus is variably formed. For these two characters a certain proximity to the subgenera Patrobonebria BäNNINGER, 1923 and Eunebria JEANNEL, 1937 respectively is given. Therefore we evaluate the subgenus Epinebriola to be paraphyletic as Ledoux & Roux (2005, p. 618) already did.
