TYPE MATERIAL. Lectotype (designated herewith), ♂, with the following labels: “M. Bureja 110-1.” [red rectangle in a black frame; handwritten], “ neglectus Mor. typ. A. Morawitz det.” [white rectangle; handwritten], “ Pterostichus neglectus Morawitz, Det. S. Morita, 2012 ” [white rectangle; printed], “ LECTOTYPUS Pterostichus (Badistrinus) neglectus A. Morawitz, 1862 design. K. Makarov et Yu. Sundukov, 2022” [red rectangle with a black border; print- ed]” ( ZISP) ( Figs 19–20 View Figs 19–20 ). In the original description [ Morawitz, 1862], two type localities are indicated — “Bureya” and the mouth of the Amur River. In addition, from the text of the description (“Der abgekürtze Scutellanstreif fehlt bei einem Exemplare, und ist bei den andern nur als kurzes, schrägers Stichelchen dicht am zweiten Streifen forhanden”) it is clear that several specimens were at Moravitz´s disposal, but their exact number is not indicated. So, we designate a specimen from the ZISP collection, the label of which corresponds to the first mentioned type locality, as a lectotype.

LECTOTYPE REDESCRIPTION ( Figs 1–11 View Figs 1–3 View Figs 4–8 View Figs 9–11 ). The body moderately convex. Length 5.2 mm, width 2.0 mm.

Body black, shiny; antennae darkened, with reddish-brown basal segment and segments 2–4 proximally; palps brown, apical segment of maxillary palps bicolored: with darkened base and lightened apex; mandibles blackish, with brown apices and outer margin; upper lip brownish black. Underside black. Legs bicolored: coxae, trochanters and femora blackish-brown, tibiae and tarsi reddish-brown.

Dorsum of body with very fine scattered punctures: dens- er on head and in the disk of pronotum, strongly scattered on sides of pronotum and elytra; basal pits of pronotum and area between them, with large, rather sparse punctures. Microsculpture on upper side of head and pronotum practically absent, weak traces of isodiametric reticulation visible only in depressions; elytra with very weak, strongly transverse microsculpture.

Dimensions (in mm): HW = 0.98; HL = 0.65; ML = 0.40; PA = 0.98; PW = 1.60; PB = 1.23; PL = 1.28; EW = 1.98; EL = 3.03; L = 5.23.

Head small, moderately convex, its width with eyes 1.51 times its length. Eyes large, strongly protruding. Mandibles small, with pointed apices bent inwards. Labrum slightly trapezoid; its anterior margin uniformly weakly convex, with 6 setae. Clypeus trapezoid, with 2 lateral setae; its anterior margin slightly concave. Mentum median tooth short, bifid, with 2 setae at base. Submentum with 2 pairs of large setae, outer setae shorter. Gula in the center with thin, longitudinal groove. Temples very short, about 1/6 eye diameter. Supraorbital setae 2: 1/3 from anterior margin of eye and near its posterior margin. Frontal grooves weak, wide, not reaching anterior supraorbital seta. Antennae rather thin, reaching 1/5 of elytral length.

Pronotum subquadrate, with uniformly convex disc starting from narrow lateral margin, slightly transverse (PW/PL = 1.25), much wider than head (PW/HW = 1.63), with maximum width at the middle. Anterior margin very slightly concave, finely edged at anterior angles. Anterior angles slightly projecting forward, their apices widely rounded. Base rectilinear, edged near basal pits, wider than anterior margin (PB/PA = 1.26). Posterior angles obtuse, not protruding, widely rounded at apices. Lateral sides moderately evenly convex from anterior to posterior angles. Lateral margins narrowly evenly bordered. Lateral sides with 2 setae each: at 2/3 from the base and in posterior angle. Median line thin, deep, extending to anterior and posterior transverse depressions. Transverse depressions weak, indistinct. Basal pits represented by narrow, deeply depressed strokes; inner strokes 2.5 times longer than outer ones.

Elytra long, narrow (EL/EW = 1.53, EL/PL = 2.37, EW/PW = 1.24), almost parallel-sided, moderately convex, with a maximum width at 3/5 from base. Shoulders straight, without teeth. Basal edging complete, slightly concave. Lateral flattened margin narrow, slightly widening towards apex. Outer apical angle broadly rounded. Striae complete, narrow, deep, not punctate. Intervals convex, outer ones slightly explanate. Scutellar stria distinct, rather long, located in 2nd interval. Parascutellar pores located at the apex of scutellar stria, close to 2nd stria. 3rd interval with 2 small discal setigerous punctures located near 3rd stria: anterior one approximately at the middle of elytron, posterior one approximately at 1/5 from apex. Apex of stria 7 with one preapical and one apical setigerous punctures. Lateral series (series umbilicata) consisting of 13 setae: 5+ 1 in humeral group and 3+4 at apex. Full-winged.

Legs moderately long, rather slender; length of hind tarsus approximately equal to length of hind tibia.

Underside of body not punctured. Anterior metasternal process not edged, widely rounded at apex. Metepisternae long, narrow: 2.7 times as long along outer margin as wide along anterior margin. Hind coxae with 2 setae. Posterior trochanters with 1 seta. Abdominal sternites simple, without pubescence and additional setae; apical sternite with 2 setae at apex.

Aedeagus ( Figs 4–8 View Figs 4–8 ) rather slender, curved at right angle; lamella symmetrical, short, distinctly narrowed towards rounded apex. Left paramere wide, discoid; right paramere narrow.

Endophallus ( Figs 9–11 View Figs 9–11 ) narrow, elongate, oriented almost at right angle to the plane of lamella and prepuce. Basal part cracked during preparation, but its shape was not distort- ed. Medial part with paired lateral protuberances, slightly asymmetrical, below them endophallus clearly narrowed. Distally, endophallus slightly expanded, bearing a complex of strongly protruding tubercles. Ventro-apical protrusion (D) long, S-shaped, covered with sclerotized denticles and noticeably asymmetric, with small conical protrusion at the base on the left. Distally, endophallus surrounded by three asymmetric tubercles with weak sculpture: large left (C), small rounded mediodorsal (A), and strongly curved right (B). Towards gonopore, endophallus tube retaining asymmetry, distinctly inclined to the right, and bearing several tiers of large spines.

VARIABILITY.The paralectotype ( Figs 12–18 View Figs 12–18 ) is slightly larger than the holotype (length 5.5 mm, width 2.1 mm). It has fairly distinct isodiametric reticulation on the head ( Fig. 12 View Figs 12–18 ), barely visible, slightly transverse on the pronotal disc ( Fig. 13 View Figs 12–18 ) and distinct transverse microsculpture on the elytra ( Fig. 14 View Figs 12–18 ). Both third intervals have only 1 discal pore located near the middle of the elytron.

DISTRIBUTION. Russia: Jewish Autonomous Region, south of Khabarovsky Krai, Primorsky Krai, South Kuriles: Kunashir (new record); North Korea; Japan: Hokkaido, Honshu (Map). In connection with the separation of P. neglectus and P. goschi , records of P. neglectus from the south of Sakhalin require re-identification.

TAXONOMIC REMARKS. In the Far East, P. goschi lives sympatrically with P. neglectus A. Morawitz, 1862 (Map). The study of extensive collection material without dissection of the endophallus led to the erroneous conclusion that, in terms of the shape of the elytra, length of scutellar stria, and the coloration of legs and palps, individuals of P. goschi fit well into P. neglectus variability, which led to the reduction of P. goschi to junior synonyms of the latter species [ Sundukov, 2013].

The differences between P. neglectus and P. goschi were rightly pointed out by Budilov [2021]. However, he designat- ed them as “forms” of P. neglectus , and subsequently described one of them as an independent species [ Budilov, 2022]. After publications of Budilov [2022] and Sasakawa [2022], the authors again became interested in the synonymy of these taxa. For this purpose, syntypes of P. goschi were studied, in one of which it was possible to evert and study the endophallus ( Figs 9–11 View Figs 9–11 ). Comparison of descriptions [ Budilov, 2022; Jedlička, 1930; Morawitz, 1862; Sasakawa, 2022; Tanaka, 1958] and endophallus structure ( Figs 21–28 View Figs 21–28 ) confirmed both the differences between P. neglectus and P. goschi , and the conspecificity of the latter with P. bandotaro Tanaka, 1958 and P. neglectoides Budilov, 2022 . The following characters can be used to distinguish between these species:

1. Lateral sides of pronotum evenly rounded to posterior angles ( Figs 45–50 View Figs 39–50 ), apices of posterior angles widely rounded ( Fig. 30 View Figs 29–38 ); femora and partially palps darkened ( Fig. 29 View Figs 29–38 ), trochanters and coxae entirely black; scutellar stria usually normally developed; concave side of the aedeagus more or less even ( Figs 33–35 View Figs 29–38 ); endophallus ( Figs 9–11 View Figs 9–11 , 25–28 View Figs 21–28 ) ......................................... P. goschi View in CoL

— Lateral sides of pronotum shortly concave or rectilinear in front of posterior angles ( Figs 39–44 View Figs 39–50 ), apices of posterior angles shaped like teeth ( Fig. 32 View Figs 29–38 ); legs and palps uniformly red ( Fig. 31 View Figs 29–38 ), trochanters and coxae partially reddish; scutellar stria usually shortened, often to a single point; concave side of aedeagus swollen medially ( Figs 36–38 View Figs 29–38 ); endophallus ( Figs 21–24 View Figs 21–28 ) .......................... P. neglectus View in CoL

It should be noted that these closely related species are currently included in two subgenera, Phonias Gozis, 1886 and Badistrinus Motschulsky, 1866 [ Bousquet, 2017]. The similarity of the endophallus structure plans (lack of a bend, large asymmetric tubercles, rows of spines in the apical part)

48 49 50

and the position of the apical discal pore (close to the 3rd stria) indicate that these species belong to the same subgenus and, at the same time, separate them from Phonias. At the present level of knowledge of the subgenus structure of Pterostichus Bonelli, 1810 , it seems appropriate to place these species in the subgenus Badistrinus .
