Revision of the genus Oedemera subgenus Oncomera (Coleoptera: Oedemeridae)
- N/A
Species of the genus Oedemera Olivier subgenus Oncomera Stephens, the status of which was changed to subgeneric, are revised, illustrated and keyed, and species-groups are proposed. Two new taxa are described: Oedemera (Oncomera) nepalensis sp. n. (Nepal) and O. (Onc.) diversecostata afghana ssp. n. (Afghanistan). Due to secondary homonymy, specific names are replaced as follows: O. (Onc.) femoralis Olivier, 1803 = O. (Onc.) femorata (Fabricius, 1792) nec Scopoli, 1763 and O. (Onc.) reitteri nom. n. = O. (Onc.) atriceps (Reitter, 1894) nec Abeille, 1881. O. (Onc.) femoralis purpureocoerulea Ganglbauer is raised to subspecific status from Onc. femorata var. purpureocoeruelea Ganglbauer. The following new synonymies are proposed: Oedemera subg. Oncomera Stephens, 1829 = Oncomerina Seidlitz, 1899, syn. n.; O. (Onc.) diversecostata diversecostata (Pic, 1915) = Onc. diversecostata var. grandis Pic, 1915, syn. n.; O. (Onc.) femoralis femoralis Olivier, 1803 = Onc. acutiventris Abeille, 1896, syn. n.; O. (Onc.) natolica (Reiche, 1862) = Oed. apicipennis Fairmaire, 1892, syn. n., Oed pallida Fleischer, 1919, syn. n., Oed rhodosica Fleischer, 1919, syn. n. and Oed. natolica var. libanica Pic, 1920, syn. n.; O. (Onc.) flavicans (Fairmaire, 1860) = Onc. stylifera Abeille, 1896, syn. n. and Onc. flavicans var. parnassica Pic., 1920, syn. n.
