Classification Of Part Fungus Beetles Subfamility From China (Coleoptera: Cucujoidea：Endomychidae)

The beetle family Endomychidae is classified within the Cerylonid Series of the superfamilyCucujoidea. The family currently includes approximately130genera and1800species andsubspeciesarranged among12subfamilies. Endomychidae is represented in all majorbiogeographicalregions, but species diversity is greatest in the tropical regions of Africa, Asia and theAmericas.Most species are mycophagous, feeding on hyphae, spores and spore-bearing tissue and thesupportingtissues of fungal fruitings.This study was finished on the base of the speciemens which deposited in Hebei University, collectedin the field, borrowed from other organizations and checked in the Museum Zoologicum Polonicum,Warszawa.The paper has two parts: the general part and the classificatory part. In the general part, includes theresearch history of Endomychidae at home and abroad, morphological character, materials and methods ofstudy, classification systemand the geographic distribution. In the classificatory part,3subfamilies27genera120species from China are described; keys to the subfamilies, genera and species are provided;synonyms and citations of each taxon are listed, documents, synonym, information of specimens anddistribution listed, characteristic figures drawn, and photos taken.In this study, it recorded1new geuns, Humerus Chang et Ren,2013;2new record genua, DapsaLatreille,1829and Stroheckeria Tomaszewska,2006;10new species, Amphisternus pubescens Chang etRen,2013, Amphistethus biwenxuani sp.nov., Ancylopus guangxiensis sp. nov., Humerus medogicus Changet Ren,2013, Indalmus circumdatus Chang et Ren,2013, Indalmus guizhouensis Chang et Ren,2013,Indalmus medogensis Chang et Ren,2013, Indalmus yunnanensis Chang et Ren,2013, Ohtaius bipunctatussp.nov. and Cyclotoma parvimaculata Chang et Ren,2014;7new record species (subspecies) form China,Amphistethus stroheckeri Tomaszewska,2001, Dapsa celata Arrow,1925, Eumorphus murrayi murrayiGorham,1874, Gerstaeckerus similis humeralis (Arrow),1928, Indalmus pubescens (Arrow),1925,Lycoperdina koltzei Reitter,1887and Stroheckeria quadrimaculata Tomaszewska,2006.All the naming speciemens are deposited in the Museum of Hebei University, Institude of Zoology,Chinese Academy of Sciences and Museum Zoologicum Polonicum, Warszawa.
