6D318C27FF995C6AFF1C38D4AEECFB02.taxon	etymology	Etymology. The name derives from Turkish “ mavi ” (blue) and emphasizes the bluish colouration of the dorsum of the new species.	en	Nabozhenko, Maxim V., Keskin, Bekir, Keskin, Nurşen Alpagut, Gagarina, Ludmila V., Nabozhenko, Svetlana (2021): Two new species and new records of lichen-feeding darkling beetles (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae: Helopini) from Turkey with notes on bionomics and trophic relations.

6D318C27FF995C6AFF1C38D4AEECFB02.taxon	diagnosis	Differential diagnosis. This new species differs from all congeners by the bluish dorsal surface of the body (Figs. 1 A, B), the pronotum widest at anterior half (Figs. 1 A, B) (at middle or behind the middle in other congeners), and wide merged baculi of the median lobe of the aedeagus (Fig. 1 E). It is similar to T. pentheri (Reitter, 1905) and T. petrophilus Keskin, Nabozhenko & Alpagut Keskin, 2017, which also have the punctation of elytral intervals fine and sparse, with the puncture diameter 3 – 5 times as less as interpuncture distance. Turkonalassus mavi sp. n. additionally differs from the first species by not thickened male antennomeres 4 – 8 (which are thicker than three apical antennomeres in T. pentheri) and strial punctures merged in furrows (separate in T. pentheri). The new species additionally differs from the latter taxon by much denser and coarser punctation of round punctures (punctures smaller, sparse and elongated on lateral sides in T. petrophilus). Bionomics and trophic relations. The species was collected in old Pinus nigra J. F. Arnold forest with shrub undergrowth of Juniperus communis L. The presence of this juniper shrub undergrowth is crucial factor for all species of Turkonalassus. Usually, beetles hide in thickets of J. communis, and at night they go out on tree trunks or stones. Adult beetles of T. mavi sp. n. were active at night since 20: 30 on trunks of Pinus nigra. Host lichen is Pseudevernia furfuraceae (L.) Zopf (Parmeliaceae Zenker) (Fig. 2).	en	Nabozhenko, Maxim V., Keskin, Bekir, Keskin, Nurşen Alpagut, Gagarina, Ludmila V., Nabozhenko, Svetlana (2021): Two new species and new records of lichen-feeding darkling beetles (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae: Helopini) from Turkey with notes on bionomics and trophic relations.

6D318C27FF9F5C67FF1C3D30AD86FBC0.taxon	etymology	Etymology. The name derives from two Latin words: “ rufus ” (red, reddish) and adjective from “ crura ” (legs).	en	Nabozhenko, Maxim V., Keskin, Bekir, Keskin, Nurşen Alpagut, Gagarina, Ludmila V., Nabozhenko, Svetlana (2021): Two new species and new records of lichen-feeding darkling beetles (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae: Helopini) from Turkey with notes on bionomics and trophic relations.

6D318C27FF9F5C67FF1C3D30AD86FBC0.taxon	diagnosis	Differential diagnosis. This new species belongs to the praelonga species-group by the structure of the epipleura (epipleura and dorsal epipleural carina reaching sutural angle, where they are transformed to the rounded roll; inner epipleural carina not reaching sutural angle); the aedeagus (the apical piece is thickened, with the longitudinal depression on the dorsal side, weakly S-shaped or straight (lateral view); parameres are dorso-ventrally flattened; the basal piece 2 times and more as long as the apical piece; median lobe baculi merged, acute apically, male inner sternite (strongly sclerotized, thickened, with rounded apices) (Nabozhenko & Keskin 2016). Odocnemis rufocruralis sp. n. is similar to O. torosica Nabozhenko & Keskin, 2016 (Taurus Mts., Turkey), O. terminassianae (Nabozhenko, 2011) (Taurus Mts., Turkey) and O. kakunini Nabozhenko & Keskin, 2016 (Western Iran), which also have straight (not bisinuate) inner side of protibiae. The shape of the aedeagus and the male inner sternite VIII are similar to those in O. kakunini (see Figs. 12 A, B, D in Nabozhenko & Keskin (2016 )). The new species differs from all three taxa by the reddish-brown body with red legs (three compared species are brown or dark-brown, with brown legs), male apical maxillary palpomeres wider than in female, elevated and narrowly separated male protrochanters, and the structure of the very long and narrow apical piece of the aedeagus; it additionally differs: – from O. kakunini by the completely beaded and setated in male abdominal ventrite 5; – from O. terminassianae by weakly convex elytral interstriae (flatted in O. terminassianae), impressed and setated male abdominal ventrite 5 (not impressed and not setated one in O. terminassianae), mesotibiae without teeth; – from O. torosica by lateral margins of pronotum shortly emarginated near the base, absence of the elytral mucron (some populations of O. torosica are with the mucron), mesotibiae without teeth (eastern populations of O. torosica with teeth), the shape of male inner ventrite VIII. Bionomics and trophic relations. This species inhabits woodlands with different tree species. It was collected on Juglans regia L. near old Hasankeyf (Batman Province), on Quercus brantii Lindl. in Kuyular (Diyarbakır Province) and Düzmeşe (Batman Province), and on Prunus dulcis (Mill.) D. A. Webb in Mardin Province. Odocnemis rufocruralis feeds on Physcia aipolia (Ehrh. ex Humb.) Fürnr. (Physciaceae Zahlbr.) (Fig. 5 A) and crustose lichen Pertusaria sp. (on Prunus) in Mardin Province (Fig. 5 B). Feeding on crustose lichens is registered for the first time for Coleoptera. Beetles strongly damage lichen thalli at a high abundance (Fig. 5 C). Adult beetles were active at night from 20: 00 to ~ 22: 30 in mid-April; during the day they hide in the leaf litter and under stones around the trunks.	en	Nabozhenko, Maxim V., Keskin, Bekir, Keskin, Nurşen Alpagut, Gagarina, Ludmila V., Nabozhenko, Svetlana (2021): Two new species and new records of lichen-feeding darkling beetles (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae: Helopini) from Turkey with notes on bionomics and trophic relations.

Nemrut Dağ (Adıyaman, Turkey) is the most eastern known locality of C. hesperides. It occurs in natural and agricultural habitats in many landscapes. In 2021 this Catomus species was collected on Сeratonia siliqua L. and Pinus brutia in Mersin Province, on Cedrus libani in Kahramanmaraş Province, on Olea europaea L. in Adana Province (Fig. 7 C), and on Quercus branti in Adıyaman Province. We registered Xanthoria sp. as one of the host lichens. The host lichen of the genus Xanthoria was registered for C. hesperides on Quercus infectoria in Cyprus by colleagues from the University of Cyprus, Konstantinos Ntatsopoulos, and Loudmila Jelinscaia Lagou (personal communication, 20 May 2021). Catomus hesperides is the second species of Helopini after Nalassus faldermanni (Faldermann, 1837), which feeds on toxic Xanthoria sp. lichens.	en	Nabozhenko, Maxim V., Keskin, Bekir, Keskin, Nurşen Alpagut, Gagarina, Ludmila V., Nabozhenko, Svetlana (2021): Two new species and new records of lichen-feeding darkling beetles (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae: Helopini) from Turkey with notes on bionomics and trophic relations.

In fact, it occurs only from Kahramanmaraş Province in the north to Amanos Dağları (Osmaniye, Gaziantep, and Hatay provinces) in the south and probably in adjacent areas of Syria.
