Unexpected high species diversity of mesolycus gorham (coleoptera, lycidae) from china, with a preliminary investigation on its phylogenetic position based on multiple genes “2279

HIGHLIGHTS

SUMMARY

Until Kazantsev, who examined the type species for each genus, revalidated Mesolycus from synonym with Dilophotes, he meanwhile synonymized Flabellodilophotes Pic, 1921 and Dilophotes (Biphilodes) Kazantsev, 2000 with Mesolycus. Up to date, a total of 30 species of Mesolycus were recorded from the East Palaearctic and Oriental regions, of which six species occurred in China. Since it was redefined by Kazantsev, no systematic work has been done on this genus, and some species remain unclear in their placements; moreover, multiple species remain unknown particularly in China. Pronotal length was measured from the middle of . . .
