View through CrossRef
The subgenus Morphohaptoderus Tschitschérine, 1898, of the genus Pterostichus in Hubei is reviewed, with 14 species recognized. Among them, eleven species are distributed in Shennongjia, and the remaining three species are from Wufeng County. Ten new species are described: Pterostichus (Morphohaptoderus) quyuani sp. nov. (type locality: Shennongjia, alt. 1700 m), P. (M.) lisao sp. nov. (type locality: Shennongjia, alt. 1884 m), P. (M.) lingjun sp. nov. (type locality: Shennongjia, alt. 1361 m), P. (M.) wangshu sp. nov. (type locality: Wufeng, alt. 900–1000 m), P. (M.) yaotiao sp. nov. (type locality: Shennongjia, alt. 1700 m), P. (M.) lianquan sp. nov. (type locality: Wufeng, alt. 900–1000 m), P. (M.) zhizheng sp. nov. (type locality: Wufeng, alt. 900–1000 m), P. (M.) xuanzhang sp. nov. (type locality: Shennongjia, alt. 2700 m), P. (M.) rongyu sp. nov. (type locality: Shennongjia, alt. 1361 m), and P. (M.) chachi sp. nov. (type locality: Shennongjia, alt. 2500 m). The scientific names of all these new species are derived from Qu Yuan and his poems. All 14 species of the subgenus in Hubei Province are keyed, described, and illustrated. Additional comments on the subgenus Morphohaptoderus are also provided, primarily focusing on morphology and species relationships.
