EXAMINED SPECIMENS: 3♀♀, 1♂, Gudja, 29-v-2016, M. V. Balzan; 1♀, Cirkewwa, 16 - iv-76, Sammut, collection NMNH, determined by C. Praz.
DISTRIBUTION: Western Mediterranean Basin, Sicily, Sardinia, and Greece. See Soltani et al. (2017) for taxonomic and biogeographic discussion.
Results obtained here confirm previous observations that the known bee fauna is dominated by widespread Palearctic species (Balzan et al., 2016), that is species recorded from Europe, Northern Africa, and the eastern Mediterranean Basin (Appendix). All of the newly recorded species are also known from southern Europe, and have been recorded from neighbouring Sicily. These observations support those by Balzan et al. (2016) and indicate that Quaternary marine regression events connecting the Maltese archipelago to southern Europe have likely resulted in colonization of the islands by bee species. Previous records also indicate that a number of bee species have a predominantly North African affinity, although this is weaker when compared to that of neighbouring Sicily and southern Europe. The Maltese Islands were originally colonized by species from the European and African mainland during the Messinian Salinity Event. These species became isolated when the Mediterranean Basin was inundated. During the Quaternary Period, the Maltese Islands experienced several colonization episodes from Sicily during some of the marine regressions associated with Pleistocene glaciations (Hunt & Schembri, 1999). This Quaternary colonization explains the resemblance of the Maltese biota to that of Sicily (Schembri, 2003; Thake, 1985).

Tuberolamia Breuning, 1940: 408; 1950: 207; Monné, 1994: 5 (cat.); Monné, 2005: 609 (cat.); Monné & Hovore, 2006: 288 (checklist); Monné & Monné, 2008: 64; Monné, 2012: 115; Monné, 2024: 934.
Redescription. Frons elongate, slightly taller than wide. Antennal tubercles slightly elevated; median groove well marked. Eyes finely faceted; frontal distance between lower eye lobes at least 2.7 times length of lower lobe. Mandibles elongate, moderately protruding. Antennae thick; in males slightly longer than body; in females shorter, not reaching posterior third of elytra. Scape long, gradually widening toward apex, with long, thick setae interspersed.
Prothorax slightly transverse; sides with a slight medial tubercle. Pronotal surface with sparse, minute, shallow punctation, transversely striated by grooves of different sizes; glabrous or pubescent (T. andicola). Elytra with or without protruding humeri (T. santossilvai); fused, oval, reaching maximum width medially, gradually narrowing toward base and apex, the latter unarmed; surface veined throughout; with a large, elevated, conical, post-basal tubercle with blunt apex slightly directed backward. Legs moderately long, especially hind legs; femora subfusiform.
Remarks. Breuning (1940) mentioned the systematic closeness of Tuberolamia to the monotypic genus Hoplonotus Blanchard, 1841 (currently, Neohoplonotus Monné, 2005), known only from Chile and belonging to Parmenini. Neohoplonotus shares some general features with Tuberolamia, such as the short metaventrite, closed mesocoxal cavities, and the presence of a post-basal elytral tubercle. However, Neohoplonotus differs in having conical projections on the prothorax and elytra, scape with an open apical cicatrix, and divaricate tarsal claws.

In the late 19 th Century, European ships travelling to and from Asia would likely stop at Cape Town or Durban to resupply and it is possible that unlabelled specimens from the Orient were exchanged or sold by naturalists ending up in the collections of individuals such as Péringuey or the South African museums where their true provenance has been misconstrued. Although these are the first cases of transcontinental mislabelling in Catharsius, other cases are known within the Scarabaeinae (e.g., Rossini & Vaz-de-Mello 2016) and in general, the existence of mislabelled specimens in museum collections is well-documented (e.g., Takano et al. 2021).

(fig. 1A).
In Aquidauana (MS), one male of Scinax acuminatus (38.1 mm SVL; one male) was recorded while calling hidden on grass vegetation about the soil level at the margins of a small dammed stream and another one while calling perched on a tree trunk about 0.2 m above soil at the margins of a natural swamp area (ca. 20º28’S, 55º46’W, 150 m asl).
The advertisement call (fig. 2A; Table 1) consists of a single note, with a mean of 32.6 pulses per call, practically without inter-pulse interval. The calls had a mean duration of 666±29 ms, with a call rate of 25.5 calls/min. The frequencies ranged between 0.64–5.03 kHz and the dominant frequency around 0.83–1.56 kHz. Calls also had power between 2.59–3.77 kHz, but in the most of analyzed calls this band presented much less energy than the dominant frequency band.
The first pulses of most calls and sometimes 2nd and 3rd pulses presented lesser intensity and energy (relative amplitude) in relation to the remaining ones. Calls were characterized by distinguishable ascendant amplitude modulation from the first to the 3rd–4th pulse.
One additional record of S. acuminatus (unvouchered specimen) from Porto Murtinho (MS) was kindly provided by F.L. Souza, but due the unknown nature of the devices used in the recording, the only parameters analyzed from this call were call duration, pulse number and call rate. This call and those from Aquidauana were considered together because totally overlapped in the parameters measured (see Table 1).

description: Catharsius harpagus sensu Ferreira, 1960 (nec Harold)
On studying the ZMHB collections leading up to her review of the genus Catharsius, Ferreira (1960) examined a male standing under C. harpagus and re-described the species based on that specimen. In later publications, she described the female (1964a) and included the description of both sexes in a work on the dung beetle fauna of Mozambique (1967).
In their work on the Catharsius species described by Harold, Génier & Josso (2016) studied three specimens standing under C. harpagus in ZMHB of which two had been collected after the date of description and designated the remaining male as a lectotype. This specimen was collected in Delagoa Bay and had likely belonged in the collection of Carl Felsche. One of the labels ([D.O. Africa / 36] refer to Fig. 10 in Génier & Josso (2016)) is handwritten in Felsche’s very distinctive hand. It is possible that this was the specimen studied by Ferreira in her 1960 publication, but nevertheless it cannot be a syntype and hence the lectotype designation is invalid.
The above synonymy leaves this taxon undescribed and its description as a new species follows:

(fig. 1B).
In Atibaia (SP), Scinax crospedospilus (22.8–30.1 mm SVL; two males) was found at PFI, (ca. 23º10'S, 46º31'W, 900–1,250 m asl). The two males were recorded while calling perched on broad leaves (40–50 cm high) at the margins of an artificial permanent pond at the forest border. Syntopic hylid frogs included Hypsiboas faber, S. eurydice, S. hayii and Dendropsophus minutus.
The advertisement call (figs. 2B, 3A and 4A-B; Table 1) consists of a single note, with 5–7 structurally complex pulses. The first pulse is generally poorly defined and present much lesser intensity and energy compared with the following pulses. Calls are characterized by ascendant amplitude modulation from the first to the 2nd–3rd pulses and the last pulses present a descendent amplitude modulation. The calls had a mean duration of 358±48 ms, with the last pulse longer than the previous ones and a call rate of 25.5 calls/min. The frequencies ranged between 0.82–5.91 kHz. The calls showed a complex spectral structure with inter-individual variation; two prominent bands can be present, between 1.07–1.66 kHz, the low-frequency band (LFB) and around 2.60–4.10 kHz, the high-frequency band (HFB). In most analyzed calls the dominant frequency was in the HFB (figs. 2B and 4A), but in three calls of one male the dominant frequency was in the LFB (figs. 3A and 4B). Most calls showed the dominant frequency concentrated in the pulses in the middle of the call.

(fig. 1C).
In Itamonte (MG), Scinax duartei was found at its type locality (Brejo da Lapa, Itatiaia National Park, 22º21’S, 44º44’W, ca. 2,100 m asl). Three males were recorded while calling at the border of a permanent artificial pond perched on grass vegetation about 0.5 m above water. Syntopic hylid frogs included Hypsiboas latistriatus.
The advertisement call (fig. 3B; Table 1) consists of a single note, with 8–11 well defined pulses, regularly spaced throughout the call. The calls had a mean duration of 547±74 ms, with a call rate of 20.3 calls/min. The frequencies ranged between 0.86–4.77 kHz and the dominant frequency is between 1.70–3.10 kHz. First pulses of most calls presented lesser intensity and energy in relation to the remaining ones. Calls were characterized by slight ascendant amplitude modulations from the first to the 3rd or 4th pulses. Slight frequency modulation was generally present in the first third of the calls.

Polytuberotum

description: Polytuberotum Pineda & Cid-Arcos, 2017
Translated and adapted from Pineda & Cid-Arcos (2017) (Spanish to English)
Redescription. Frons transverse; antennal tubercles prominent, moderately spaced; median groove barely visible throughout. Genae elongate. Eyes finely faceted, lower lobes strongly separated, distance between them at least twice length of one lower lobe. Mandibles poorly developed, coarsely punctate. Antennae thick, extending beyond elytral apex; scape clavate; antennomere III the longest.
Prothorax subsquare, slightly wider than long, with conical lateral tubercle with blunt apex. Pronotum with moderately raised, irregular protuberances varying in number (five in P. metachroma, four in P. boteroi). Scutellum transverse, widely rounded apically. Elytra fused, slightly widening from base to about medial third, then gradually narrowing toward apex; with hook-shaped tubercle with blunt apex, slightly directed backward. Elytral apices narrow, individually rounded. Legs robust and long; metafemora 0.5 times elytral length; mesotibiae with oblique groove on external middle area. Metaventrite short, with an inverted V-shaped sulcus between metacoxae.
Remarks. Polytuberotum resembles Tuberolamia due to the presence of elytral tubercles. However, it differs by the transverse frons (elongate in Tuberolamia), prominent antennal tubercles (slightly elevated in Tuberolamia), pronotum with distinct conical lateral tubercles (absent in Tuberolamia), pronotum with protuberances (absent in Tuberolamia), elytral tubercle located near humeri (far from humeri in Tuberolamia), and smooth elytra (veined in Tuberolamia).

This species was described by John William Shipp [note his initial “I.” in the original description is an error] from a single specimen collected by Arthur Donaldson Smith on his expedition through Somalia and Ethiopia. The specimen was captured on 19 th March 1895 between “Aimola and Himo”, but as Donaldson Smith kept exceptionally accurate records of each specimen he collected (Jordan 1897) it is possible to pinpoint the type locality to 4°01’N, 40°09’E, an area in modern day Ethiopia very near the Kenyan border, by cross-referencing the label data with the maps detailing the route of his expedition (Donaldson Smith 1897).
This taxon was placed in the genus Catharsius by Gillet (1911) and listed as such in Ferreira’s works on the genus (1960, 1972), but on examination of the holotype (by original monotypy) housed in MTD (and not BMNH as stated by Ferreira), it has become apparent that this species belongs in the genus Metacatharsiu s Paulian, 1939. Catharsius species can easily be separated from those of Metacatharsius by the presence of three striae on the ventral surface of the protibia; the striae are completely absent in Metacatharsius. Based on the above, the following new combination is established:
