Arhinops, a new name for the genus Arhina Murray, 1876, non Arhina Agassiz, 1846 (Insecta: Diptera), and notes on the tribe Arhinopini nom. n. (Insecta: Coleoptera: Nitidulidae: Cryptarchinae)

The genus-group name Arhina Murray, 1876 has been used as valid for a group of beetles in the family Nitidulidae. Indeed this name is preoccupied by the available name Arhina Agassiz, 1846 (Insecta: Diptera). Arhinops nom.  n. is hereby proposed as a replacement name for Arhina Murray, 1876. Correspondingly the tribal name Arhinini Kirejtshuk, 1987 is changed into Arhinopini nom.  n. The composition of the tribe is reviewed. Support for the treatment of Arhinella Kirejtshuk, 1987 as a valid genus is given for the first time. Clarification regarding the distribution of the type species Arhinella congoensis Kirejtshuk, 1987, comb. n. is presented as well as new pictures of the same species

A new species of the genus Raspinotus Kirejtshuk, 1990 (Coleoptera: Nitidulidae: Epuraeinae) from Sulawesi

Raspinotus limitaris sp. n. is described in the area boundary of both Indo-Malayan and Australian Regions. New data on the range of the genus Raspinotus in the Indian Province of the Indo-Malayan Region and Papuan Province of the Australian Region are give

A new species of the genus Carpophilus (Coleoptera: Nitidulidae: Carpophilinae) from Algeria, and taxonomic notes

Carpophilus (Carpophilus) saharaensis sp. n. belonging to the bifenestratus-group, which is distributed mostly in the Afro-Malagasy (Afrotropical, Capean and Malagasy) Regions, is described from Algeria (Theniet el Had). This group is first proposed. Its diagnosis, composition, variability and distribution are discussed. The lectotypes of Carpophilus (Carpophilus) bifenestratus Murray, 1864, C.  (C.) biguttatus Klug, 1862 and C. (C.) binotatus Murray, 1864 are designated. The renewed synonymy for the species name C. (C.) bifenestratus and also the information on variability of this species and probable synonymy with Carpophilus (Carpophilus) bipustulatus (Heer, 1841) (Ips) are given. The latter name needs a re-examination of the type series used for its proposal
