title: Notes on the Nebria subgenus Epinebriola K. DANIEL, 1904 with the description of Barbonebriola subgen. nov. and 13 new species from the Himalaya-Tibet orogen (Coleoptera, Carabidae, Nebriini)

description: This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Huber, Charles, Schmidt, Joachim (2017): Notes on the Nebria subgenus Epinebriola K. DANIEL, 1904 with the description of Barbonebriola subgen. nov. and 13 new species from the Himalaya-Tibet orogen (Coleoptera, Carabidae, Nebriini). Contributions to Natural History 36: 1-85, DOI: 10.5169/seals-787049ABSTRACT: Contrib. Nat. Hist. 36: 1–85 Ten new species of the subgenus Epinebriola K. DANIEL, 1904 are described from the Himalaya and South Tibet: N. (Epinebriola) triseriata sp. nov. (western Central Nepal: Annapurna Himal), N. (E.) montisanimae sp. nov. (western Central Nepal: Manaslu Himal), N. (E.) rupina sp. nov. (western Central Nepal: Manaslu Himal), N. (E.) impunctata sp. nov. (western Central Nepal: Ganesh Himal), N. (E.) tuberculata sp. nov. (Central Nepal: Langtang Himal), N. (E.) numburica sp. nov. (eastern Central Nepal: Shorong Himal), N. (E.) pseudorestias sp. nov. (East Nepal: Jaljale Himal), N. (E.) incarinata sp. nov. (India: Arunachal Pradesh: Sela pass), N. (E.) delicata sp. nov. (Tibet: Gangdise Shan south of Lhasa), and N. (E.) retingensis sp. nov. (Tibet: Gangdise Shan north of Lhasa). Up to today, N. delicata sp. nov. and N. retingensis sp. nov. are the only Epinebriola species known to occur in the central portion of the Transhimalaya, while N. businskyorum LEDOUx & ROUx, 1997 and N. zayula ANDREWES, 1936 occur in the eastern Transhimalaya. Additionally, the subgenus Barbonebriola subgen. nov. is established on the basis of a derived character of the stipes which is unique within the genus Nebria LATREILLE, 1802. Three taxa (N. barbata ANDREWES, 1929, N. ganeshi LEDOUx, 1984, and N. restricta LEDOUx & ROUx, 2005) are transferred from Epinebriola to Barbonebriola subgen. nov., and three new Barbonebriola species are described: N. (B.) rubostipes sp. nov. (Farwestern Nepal: Saipal Himal), N. (B.) tenuisulcata sp. nov. (Farwestern Nepal: Api Himal), and N. (B.) kagmara sp. nov. (West Nepal: Kagmara La). For N. (E.) zayula ANDREWES, 1936 the misinterpreted type locality " Kaya La " is discussed, and morphological characters, which have been overlooked or always wrongly noted, are provided. Determination keys for the subgenus Barbonebriola subgen. nov. and for the subgenus Epinebriola are presented.Zusammenfassung:In der Untergattung Epinebriola K. DANIEL, 1904 werden zehn neue Arten aus dem Himalaya und Südtibet beschrieben: N. (Epinebriol) triseriata sp. nov. (westliches Zentralnepal: Annapurna Himal), N. (E.) montisanimae sp. nov. (westliches Zentralnepal: Manaslu Himal), N. (E.) rupina sp. nov. (westliches Zentralnepal: Manaslu Himal), N. (E.) impunctata sp. nov. (westliches Zentralnepal: Ganesh Himal), N. (E.) tuberculata sp. nov. (Zentralnepal: Langtang Himal), N. (E.) numburica sp. nov. (östliches Zentralnepal: Shorong Himal), N. (E.) pseudorestias sp. nov. (Ostnepal: Jaljale Himal), N. (E.) incarinata sp. nov. (Indien: Arunachal Pradesh: Sela pass), N. (E.) delicata sp. nov. (Tibet: Gangdise Shan südlich Lhasa) sowie N. (E.) retingensis sp. nov. (Tibet: Gangdise Shan nördlich Lhasa). N. delicata sp. nov. und N. retingensis sp. sind die bislang einzigen Epinebriola -Arten des zentralen Transhimalaya, während N. businskyorum LEDOUx & ROUx, 1997 und N. zayula ANDREWES, 1936 aus dem östlichen Transhimalaya beschrieben wurden. Ausserdem wird die Untergattung Barbonebriola subgen. nov. beschrieben, basierend auf einem abgeleiteten Merkmal der Stipites, welches in der Gattung Nebria LATREILLE, 1802 einzigartig ist. Drei Arten (N. barbata ANDREWES, 1929, N. ganeshi LEDOUx, 1984 und N. restricta LEDOUx & ROUx, 2005) werden von Epinebriola nach Barbonebriola subgen. nov. transferiert. Drei neue Barbonebriola -Arten werden beschrieben: N. (B.) rubostipes sp. nov. (Ferner Westen Nepals: Saipal Himal), N. (B.) tenuisulcata sp. nov. (Ferner Westen Nepals: Api Himal) und N. (B.) kagmara sp. nov. (Westnepal: Kagmara La). Von N. (E.) zayula ANDREWES, 1936 wird die falsch gedeutete Typuslokalität diskutiert; zudem werden Merkmale, die bislang übersehen oder falsch vermerkt worden waren, aufgelistet. Für die Untergattungen Barbonebriola subgen. nov. und Epinebriola werden neue Bestimmungsschlüssel aufgestellt.Keywords: Nebria, Epinebriola, Barbonebriola, taxonomy, multivariate ratio analysis, new subgenus, new species, Himalaya, Nepal, India, China.
