. Bonner zoologische Beiträge : Herausgeber: Zoologisches Forschungsinstitut und Museum Alexander Koenig, Bonn. Biology; Zoology. 44 Bonner zoologische Beiträge 52 (2004) least partly shining; sometimes impunctate area reduced to minute oblong area in posterior half. Elytra at suture distinctly (approximately x) longer than pronotum; with simple (i. e. not umbilicate) puncturation; punc- tures dense, but sparser than on head and pronotum, in- stices shining. Hind wings fully developed. Abdomen with fine and dense puncturation, weakly shining; ter- gite VII with palisade fringe. S'. posterior margin of sternite VII bisinuate, in the middle convex, on either side with comb of approxi- mately 5 relatively long (longer than in M cernitii) palisade setae (Fig. 30); sternite VIII posteriorly broadly incised (Fig. 31); aedeagus smaller than in M. cernitii, ventral process short and in ventral view broad (Figs. 28 -29). Comparative notes: From M. cernitii, M. petrochilosi, and allied species, M caricus is distinguished by the long palisade setae of the male sternite VII and by the morphology of the distinctly smaller aedeagus (Figs. 28 -29). Comments: An examination of the types of M caricus and M marmaridis revealed that they are conspecific, so that M marmaridis is here placed in the synonymy of the senior name M. caricus. Distribution and bionomics: The known distribution of M caricus is confined to southwestern Anatolia (Mugla, Izmir) and to the Southern Sporades (Greece: Dhodhekánisos) (Map 3). Two females were seen from Paros (Cyclades), but due to the external similarity of the species of the coriaceus group, their identification is uncertain. Some of the types (taken in May) and a non- type specimen collected in July are teneral. In a flood- plain forest near Marmaris, the species was found to- gether with M umbilicatus, M. fusculus, and M semiob- scurus.
