Bonner zoologische Beiträge Band 52 (2004) Heft 1/2 Seiten 1-2 Bonn, August 2004 A new Mecynotarsus from Pakistan (Coleóptera, Anthicidae) Gerhard Uhmann Pressath, Germany Abstract. Mecynotarsus bordonii sp. n. from Pakistan is described and illustrated. Riassunto. L'autore descrive Mecynotarsus bordonii sp. n. from Pakistan. Key words: Taxonomy, new species. Dr. Amaldo Bordoni (Museum "La Specola" in Flor- ence, Italy) sent to me 583 anthicides beetles for deter- mination. This sample contains mainly specimens from Asia (China, Laos, Malaysia, Pakistan, Thailand, Turk- menistan) Italy and Kazakhstan. A single specimen is present of an undescribed species. Neither the classical work of La FertÉ-SénectÉre (1849) nor the mono- graph of the genus Mecynotarsits LaFerté by Heberdey (1942) contain a comparable species.'.
