description: Prismognathus sinensis Bomans, 1989 (doubtful species)
(Figs. 107, 128, 235)
Prismognathus sinensis Bomans, 1989: 16 [type locality: Kuatun, Fujian].
Taxonomic notes. This species was originally described based on a single female from northern Fujian. The photos of the dorsal, ventral and lateral surfaces of the holotype have been examined by us, but the female genitalia have not been examined. The external characters of the holotype are within the parameters of individual variation of P. triapicalis from outside Sichuan. The pronotum of the holotype (Fig. 107) is weakly angled at lateral sides, as is also found in a female specimen of P. triapicalis from northern Chongqing (Fig. 103).
The mountains in southern Zhejiang have the same lucanid fauna as the Wuyishan Mountains in northern Fujian, they have been thoroughly explored by Chinese collectors for several years and only P. klapperichi and P. triapicalis have been found concerning Prismognathus. In a larger area including Zhejiang, Fujian, Hunan and Guangdong only P. davidis has been also recorded. Considering that the holotype of P. sinensis fits the individual variability of P. triapicalis, we believe that P. s i n e n s i s is probably a local form of P. triapicalis. To verify this hypothesis, either the holotype of P. sinensis needs to be dissected or more specimens need to be discovered from Kuatun.
The areas around Kuatun have been explored by several Chinese collectors in the last years, and no specimen corresponding to the characters of P. s i n e n s i s were found, and only P. klapperichi has been collected. This is probably due to the higher vertical distribution of P. s i n e n s i s than that of P. klapperichi. In the mountains of southern Zhejiang, P. triapicalis usually inhabits the area above 1400 m while P. klapperichi inhabits around 1000– 1300 m of altitude. It is rather difficult to reach the higher area of Kuatun above 1400 m and this higher area has not yet been explored by Chinese collectors.

Material examined. CHINA: Yunnan: 1 3 (CLW), Honghe, Gejiu City, Hekou County, V.2007; 1 Ƥ (CLW), Honghe, Gejiu City, Hekou County, IX.1999.
Identification. This species was originally described from northern Vietnam in the genus Eligmodontus (type species E. arcuatus Houlbert). There is no confusion in identifying this species as only one P. arcuatus -like species has been known from the area around the type locality in northern Vietnam and southern Yunnan. Fujita (2010) recorded and illustrated the female for the first time.
The male from southern Yunnan examined by us matches the original description of P. kanghianus kanghianus. The female from the same locality of the male examined by us was not collected together with the male; it was identified as P. kanghianus kanghianus because it has different genitalia from the other female Prismognathus from the same area. Therefore the correct identification of the female of P. kanghianus kanghianus needs to be confirmed.
Nagai (2005) described P. kanghianus kittii from northern Myanmar which differs from P. kanghianus kanghianus by the smaller eyes and the lateral angles of pronotum more sharply protruding.
Distribution. Southern Yunnan (Hekou); northern Vietnam, northeastern Myanmar.

Prismognathus sukkitorum Nagai, 2005: 37 [type locality: Chudo Razi, northeastern Kachin, northern Myanmar], Figs. 21–23, males and female; Fujita 2010: 168, plate 101, partim [Figs. 505 (1–5), males from northern Myanmar].
Material examined. CHINA: Yunnan: 1 3 (IEAS), Baoshan City, Tengchong County, Gaoligongshan Nature Reserve, Da-hao-ping station, on the old road from Tengchong to Baoshan, 17.IX.1991, Z.-Y. Liu, T.-Q. Wang & H.-S. Yin leg.; 1 Ƥ (IEAS), same data; 1 3 (CLYB), Nujiang Autonomous Prefecture, Gongshan County, VIII.2011, Y.- B. L i leg..
Identification. This species was originally described from northeastern Myanmar and compared with P. kanghianus. It differs from P. kanghianus in males “by having the body black, almost without luster, and the angulated frontal corners of pronotum” (Nagai 2005). Fujita (2010) illustrated some reddish brown specimens alongside the black specimens from the same area; therefore the black color of the body is not a constant character. The male specimen from western Yunnan examined by us matches the original description of P. s u kk i to r um except for the redder color of the body. On the underside of the male specimen, each of the abdominal ventrites bears a transversal band of yellow setae near the posterior margin; this character is not found in all other species. The female was illustrated in the original description and very briefly described. The following peculiar characters have been noticed by us: 1) anterior margin of the pronotum markedly wider than head, with anterolateral corners more or less produced; 2) lateral angels of the pronotum a little protruding. The female from western Yunnan examined by us matches the above-mentioned characters. However, the female illustrated by Fujita (2010: plate 101, Fig. 505-6) does not match these characters and probably does not belong to P. sukkitorum.
Taxonomic notes. P. sukkitorum is sympatric with P. kanghianus kittii in northeastern Myanmar.
Distribution. Western Yunnan (Tengchong); northeastern Myanmar.

Prismognathus arcuatus: Nagai 2005: 35; Fujita 2010: 169, plate 101, Fig. 508-1, male from Sichuan.
Material examined. CHINA: Sichuan: 6 3, 1 Ƥ, Ya-an City, Yingjing County, Siping, VII.2007, H.-C. Shan leg.; 2 3 (CHH, CYXW), Hanyuan County, Nimei, VII.2005, C.-J. Dai leg.; 1 3 (IEAS), Shimian County, Liziping Nature Reserve, Gongyihai station, 2100m, 22.VII.2007, W.-X. Bi leg.
Identification. This species was originally described from western Sichuan and a male specimen was illustrated. There cannot be confusion in identifying this species due to the peculiar male characters. The male specimen illustrated and labeled by Mizunuma & Nagai (1994: plate 147, Fig. 107) as the “ type ” from “ China ” is unusual, with an anteriorly-divergent preocular margins of the head. The type specimen originally illustrated in the description paper has the preocular margins of the head parallel. Specimens from Sichuan examined by us match with the original description and illustration.
The female is here described and illustrated for the first time. Only a single female was examined by us, and it was identified as P. arcuatus due to the protruding lateral angles of the pronotum and the obsolete spermathecal gland in the female genitalia, which are very similar to those of the close species, P. haojiani.
Distribution. Western Sichuan.

Colour. The striking coloration resembles that of the Sri Lanka specimen (Ng et al. 2011, fig. 2a, b) and fits the description given by Alcock & Anderson (1894a: 178): dorsal surface of carapace purplish anteriorly “covered with numerous large smooth isolated mammillary tubercles, which by their coloration (red base and shining yellow apex) exactly resemble ripe small-pox pustules. In the posterior half of the carapace the place of these well-defined "pustules" is taken by equally well-defined round or oval slightly-raised red patches, which exactly resemble the "papules" of the earlier stage of small-pox.” The upper external surface of the palm similarly displays “pustules” and “papules” (Figs 3 a, b).
Distribution. Originally described from the Bay of Bengal, India, this species has since been recorded from the Iranian coast of the Gulf of Oman, Pakistan and Mumbai, Maharashtra, India (Ng et al. 2011). New record for Kerala.

Diagnoses
Supraocular sulcus short and shallow, ending at the level of the anterior supraocular seta or barely surpassing it. Pronotum cordiform or sub-cordiform; elytra parallel or sub-parallel. Up to 3 setigerous pores along the 3 rd interstria; 9 th interstria wider than the 8 th.
Description
Length: 4.0–6.0 mm. Tegument testaceous or brown (in the last case, with bronze sheen). Palps yellow, lighter than the testaceous legs and antennae. Pronotum little or nothing transverse; the anterior angles may be protruding or not, and occasionally have with tiny setae. Lateral sulcus of the pronotum narrow; hind angles hardly conspicuous. Base of the pronotum as wide as or less wide than the base of the elytra. Elytra generally convex. Legs testaceous, never darker than the body tegument. Prosternum covered by fine setae. Median lobe of the aedeagus slightly arcuate and clearly directed down.
Chorology
The genus is represented over the whole Palaearctic Region (Bousquet 2017).
The Ibero-Balearic representatives of Pogonistes are distributed along the Mediterranean coast of the peninsula, in the saline environments of the Ebro valley and the Southern Sub-plateau and in the Balearic Islands.

Description
Habitus (Fig. 1C). Length: 5.5–6.0 mm. Tegument with some regions more pigmented than others. Head brown, slightly darker than the rest of the body. Pronotum with the base as, or almost as, wide as the anterior margin of the elytra and with well-visible punctuation. Elytral striae with almost superficial punctutation, considerably more tenuous than in other species of the tribe. Legs slightly lighter than the rest of the body. Median lobe of the aedeagus (Fig. 3C) wider than in P. gracilis and with the apex less developed.
Chorology
Species distributed along the West Mediterranean: the subspecies P. testaceus testaceus is present in North Africa (records from Argelia), the Iberian Peninsula and along the French coast (Español 1964; Bousquet 2017); the subspecies P. testaceus graecus (Apfelbeck, 1904) is known from Bulgaria and Greece (Bousquet 2017).
Ibero-Balearic distribution (Fig. 4C): in the Iberian Peninsula, the species is present along the Mediterranean coast ranging from Tarragona to Alicante (Spain). On the Balearic Islands, it is present in Menorca and Ibiza.
Biology
It was suggested that this species prefers the most high-saline environments (Sauleda 1985), which could explain why its distribution in the Iberian Peninsula is restricted to the Mediterranean coast, where it can be a common element (Español 1964). Imagoes present all year, with a peak of activity in spring (Sauleda 1985).

Pronotum cordiform or sub-cordiform, in general convex and more transverse in some species than in others. Anterior angles of the pronotum glabrous or with fine setae. Base as, or almost as, wide as the anterior margin of the elytra, with a marked and deep punctuation that is limited by a well-developed carinula. Except in P. riparius and P. meridionalis, the base is oblique near the hind angles, so they are obtuse and more or less protruding. Elytra parallel, sub-parallel or sub-oval, convex and wider than the pronotum. In all the species, the punctuation of the elytral striae is deep, except in the apical region. Interstriae other than the 3 rd glabrous, except in P. meridionalis, which also has setigerous pores in the 5 th and 7 th interstriae. Legs yellow, testaceous or brown. Median lobe of the aedeagus curved or arcuate, with the apex clearly directed down, except in P. littoralis. Sclerotised pieces of the internal sac rather massive in some species.
Chorology
Genus widely distributed in all geographic regions except the Neotropical; the Palaearctic Region is where it is best-represented (Bousquet & Laplante 1997; Bousquet 2017).
Species of Pogonus are present both along the Atlantic and Mediterranean coasts of the Iberian Peninsula, the saline environments of its continental interior and in the Balearic Islands.

Diagnoses
Tegument with metallic sheen (at least in the head and pronotum). Up to 5 setigerous pores in the 3 rd interstria (commonly 3); the rest of interstriae are glabrous.
Description
Length: 5.0–8.0 mm. Tegument generally green or bronze, uniform in most of the species; in P. luridipennis and P. pallidipennis the elytra are a testaceous. Anterior angles of the pronotum glabrous. Base of the pronotum slightly curvilinear.
Distribution
The distribution range of the subgenus is similar to that of the genus.
