Abstrakt: Falsophilus gen. nov. is established to include 16 species occurring in South
Africa and Namibia. Two species, Falsophilus maximus (Pic, 1895) and F. minutus
(Pic, 1895), are redescribed. Six species are newly described: Falsophilus
agricola sp. nov., F. glabratus sp. nov., F. pumilus sp. nov., F. pygmaeus sp.
nov., F. robustus sp. nov., and F. unicolor sp. nov. (all from South Africa).
Ten new combinations are proposed: Falsophilus alienus (Heberdey, 1937) comb.
nov., F. apophysialis (Hille, 1985) comb. nov., F. halleyi (Hille, 1988) comb.
nov., F. maximus (Pic, 1895) comb. nov., F. namaqua (Hille, 1985) comb. nov., F.
oosthuizeni (Hille, 1985) comb. nov., F. sebastiani (Hille, 1985) comb. nov., F.
tardus (Hille, 1988) comb. nov., F. vandersteli (Hille, 1985) comb. nov. (all
transferred from Anthicus Paykull, 1789), and Falsophilus minutus (Pic, 1895)
comb. nov. (from Formicomus LaFerté-Sénectère, 1849). Two new synonyms,
Falsophilus maximus (Pic, 1895) (= Anthicus maximus truncatipennis Pic, 1895,
syn. nov.) and Falsophilus minutus (Pic, 1895) (= Anthicus apterus Hille, 1961,
syn. nov.), are proposed.
