Paederus (Harpopaederus) gottschei KOLBE, 1886 View in CoL ( Map 1 View Map 1 )

Paederus pseudobaudii ALEKSANDROV, 1934: 151 View in CoL ; nov.syn.

C o m m e n t: According to WILLERS (2001b), the depository and identity of the type material of P. pseudobaudii View in CoL from "Hengtaohotze" (Heilongjiang) is uncertain, but there is little doubt that it is conspecific with P. gottschei View in CoL , also because ALEKSANDROV (1934) himself synonymized the species with P. chinensis View in CoL . The material from Heilongjiang studied by WILLERS (2001b), some of which had previously been identified as P. pseudobaudii View in CoL , all belonged to P. gottschei View in CoL .

Paederus gottschei is the most widespread - and probably also the most common - representative of Harpopaederus in the East Palaearctic region, its distribution ranging from the Russian Far East across Northeast China to North and South Korea. For additional records see LI & ZHOU (2007). So far, all the material of Harpopaederus from this region has proved to belong to P. gottschei , making it seem most unlikely that P. pseudobaudii represents a distinct species. In consequence, P. pseudobaudii is formally placed in synonymy with P. gottschei . The distribution of P. gottschei in China is illustrated in Map 1 View Map 1 .
