Review of the "Calycina group of genera" (Coleoptera: Mordellidae: Mordellini)

Abstrakt: Generic classification of the “Calycina group of genera” is defined and all species belonging to this group are listed. Among the names of the genus group following new synonymies are proposed: Phungia Pic, 1922 = Calycellina Pic 1932 syn. n., Dollmania Franciscolo, 1961 syn. n. and Macrotomoxia Pic, 1922 = Higehananomia Kóno, 1935 syn. n. New combinations are proposed: Phungia scraptiiformis (Franciscolo, 1961), P. trotommoides (Franciscolo, 1962) (from Dollmania); P. bomeensis (Blair, 1922), P. sudanensis (Ermisch, 1968) and P. rufa (Pic, 1932) (from Calycina)', Macrotomoxia gardneri (Blair, 1931) (from Higehananomia) and Paraphungia tarsalis (Blair, 1922) (from Calycina Blair, 1922 [= Calycella Blair, 1922 non Allmann, 1864]). New name Phungia pici nom. n. is proposed for Phungia rufa (Pic, 1932) non Pic, 1922. New synonymies Macrotomoxia castanea Pic, 1922 = Higehananomia palpalis Kóno, 1935, Calycina guineensis (Blair, 1922) = C. impressa Pic, 1931 and Paraphungia tarsalis (Blair, 1922) = P. laosensis Ermisch, 1968 syn. n. are proposed. Phungia rufa Pic, 1922, P. pici nom. n., Macrotomoxia castanea Pic, 1922 and Calycina guineensis (Blair, 1922) are redescribed. Keys to all genera of the “Calycina group” and to all species of Calycina are provided.
