Description of the Larva of Athous
monilicornis (Coleoptera, Elateridae), with Notes on the Species Distribution.
Penev L. First description of the larva of Athous (Haplathous) monili-cornis
Schwarz, 1897, a species endemic to the Balkan Peninsula, known so far from Bulgaria,
and reported in this paper from Macedonia and Greece as well. The larva differs
from the other representative of subgenus Haplathous occurring in the high mountains
of Bulgaria Athous subfuscus (Mu#ller), by the width of the pit of the urogomphi.
Athous monilicornis is confined to the subalpine habitats and the upper coniferous
forests belt of the mountains of Bulgaria, Macedonia and Greece.
Key words: Coleoptera, Elateridae, click beetles, Athous monilicornis, A. subfuscus,
larva, Balkan Peninsula.

The First Eocene Representative of Ipelates
(Coleoptera, Agyrtidae) from the Baltic Amber. Perkovsky E. E. Ipelates
kerneggeri Perkovsky, sp. n., the first fossil species of the genus Ipelates Reitter
is described from the Baltic amber. It is close to the recent Nearctic I. latus
(Mannerheim) in habitus, but differs by very rare large punctures on the middle
part of prono-tum, longer antennae with narrow club (length of the 3rd antennal
segment is 0.8 times as long as the 4th and 5th segments together), narrow anterior
1/4 of epipleural keel, smaller number of large punctures between the 9th line
of punctures and epipleural keel.
Key words: Coleoptera, Agyrtidae, Ipelates, taxonomy, Eocene, amber.

Oreomela dolini sp. n. (Coleoptera,
Chrysomelidae), a New Species of a Central Asian Genus of Leaf Beetles. Lopatin
I. K. F new species of leaf beetles of the Central Asian genus Oreomela
Jacobson is described from the Saur Range (eastern Kazakhstan). Numerous spe-cies
of this genus are wingless and occur in mountain systems of Tien Shan, Pamiro-Alai,
Hindu Kush, Xinjiang and Tibet, being characteristical and common on alpine meadows.
O. dolini sp. n. is similar to O. korolkovi Jacobson from the Dzhungar Alatau
Mountains in the punctuation on elytra disc partially forming rows, differing
by thickened joints of short antenna, sparse punctuation on head and shape of
edeagus.

Three New Species of the Genus Syncopacma
(Lepidoptera, Gelechiidae) from Central Asia. Bidzilya O. V. Syncopacma
dolini Bidzilya, sp. n. from Kyrgyzstan (type locality: Southern Kygyzstan., Kyzyl-Dzhar

A New Species of the Genus Heterogenella
(Diptera, Cecidomyiidae, Lestremiinae) from Zacarpathje (Ukraine). Mamaev B. M.,
Berest Z. L. Heterogenella biradiata Mamaev et Berest, sp. n. is described
(type locality: Rakhiv Transcarpathian Ukraine). Type material is deposited in
the collection of the Schmalhausen Institute of Zoology, Kyiv. The generic name
Cervuatina Berest is resurrected from the synonymy with Heterogenella Mamaev,
based on a specimen of H. biradiata sp. n., which was misidentified as H. cambrica
by M. Jaschhof (1998).

Morphological and Taxonomic Diversity
of Larvae in the Infraorder Tabanomorpha of the Palaearctic Region. Andreeva R.
V. The structure of integuments and morphological fea-tures of larvae
in the infraorder Tabanomorpha studied with the use of modern methods, are considered
in connections with conditions of their development. This allows to evaluate how
advanced is each of the families and to trace the history of formation of certain
structures and organs, which contributed to the progress of each taxon in the
phylogenesis. The manifest disproportion of larval and adult lifespans in the
ontogenesis, which characterizes most of the lower Brachycera, is shown to determine
correspondingly different adaptation and selection abilities in the phylogenesis.
Key words: Diptera, Tabanomorpha, larvae, structures, morphology, appendages,
integu-ments, movement, body shape.
