A New Subspecies of the Genus Leistus (Coleoptera, Carabidae) from Western Caucasus. Putch-
kov A. V. – Leistus (s. str.) denticollis adygeicus subsp. n. from West Caucasus (Adygeya, Caucasian
reservation, Abago pasture) is described. Its comparison analyse with nominotypical subspecies is
given.

Until now Leistus denticollis Rtt. was known only from southern slopes of Western Caucasian Range:
environs of Babuk-aul (type locality) and from slopes of Atshishkho Mountain Range (all in Krasnodarskyi
region). Small series of L. denticollis was collected in northern part of West Caucasus in June of 1999. This
material allows to describe here (after studying of the type and other beetles of this taxon) as new subspecies
of L. denticollis. One female of intermediate form was found on north slopes of Oshten mnt. (Adygeya).
That is near 50—60 km south-westwards from type locality of new taxon and near 70 km north-westwards
from Atshishkho Range.
The following measurements (in mm) were taken: body length from the anterior margin of the labrum
to the elytral apex; head width across eyes; pronotal length along its median line; elytral length from the
scutellum to the apex of elytra; width of both pronotum and elytra at their broadest part; pronotal base at
the hind angles; elytral base at the humeral angles. Mean value of measurements in parenthesis is given.
The holotype and some paratypes of new subspecies are deposited in the collection of the Institute of
Zoology NAS of Ukraine (Kóiv), single paratypes in collection of the Zoological Institute of RAS (St.-
Petersburg), and in collections of Dr. A. Dostal (Wien) and Dr. F. Kleinfeld (Fürth).
Leistus (s. str.) denticollis adygeicus A. Putshkov, subsp. n.
Mate r i a l . Holotype {, Western Caucasus, Adygeya, Caucasian reservation, Abago env. (pasture),
30.06.1999, 1800 m (Putchkov). Paratypes: 6 }, the same place 29—30.06.1999 (Putchkov, Tretyakov).
Descr ip t ion . Body elongate, weakly convex, length 9.0—9.5 (9.2) mm. Colora-
tion dark-brown or light-brown. Appendages, legs and antennae light brown. Surface
of head with rough sparse puncture. Front with median stria and transverse rugosity.
Back of head weakly punctate, strongly sloping and distinctly separate from neck
transverse stria. Head width in 1.17—1.26 (1.21) times narrower than pronotum. An-
tennae almost reached middle of elytra. Antennomere 5 in 1.48—1.68 (1.58) times
longer antennomere 3. Maximal width of pronotum in anterior third on denticles’ level
in 1.26—1.32 (1.30) times as wide as long. Its maximal width in 1.87—1.95 (1.94) times
more than base of pronotum and in 1.19—1.21 (1.20) wider of head. Lateral bead
widely depressed in anterior third, oblique to denticles and narrower near base (fig. 1,
1). Anterior margin convex in middle, longer weakly protruding anterior angles. Hind
A. V. Putchkov 78
angles straight, slightly obtuse on apices. Base
of pronotum straight. Disk prominent, almost
smooth, sometimes with very sparse and small
puncture.
Elytra elongate, moderately convex,
weakly oval, broadest distinctly behind
midlength, in 1.78—1.79 (1.78) times longer
than wide, 1.32—1.35 (1.33) times as wide as
pronotum. Elytra in 3.00—3.25 (3.10) times
longer than pronotum, 1.54—1.68 (1.60) times
as wide as head. Shoulders strongly obliqued,
humeral denticles effaced, distance between
them in 2.05—2.08 (2.06) times less than elytral
width. Lateral bead of elytra very narrow. Basal
edge slightly arched. Striae with rough deep
puncture, more slight on elytral apex. Legs
long and thin. Anterior and medial femora with
single setae, almost by all length, posterior
femora bare. Anterior and posterior tibiae with
short hemi-lying pubescence in upper third.
Pubescence of posterior tibiae sparse.
Comparat ive remarks . A new subspe-
cies differs from nominotypical one relatively
more long labrum (ratio of the width to length
1.42—1.58 vs. 1.68—1.86 in nominotypical sub-
species), more elongate body (9.0—9.5 vs. 8.0—
8.9 accordingly) and more dark coloration
(fig. 1, 1, 2). The length of elytra in 4.28—
4.50 (4.38) times more than pronotum’ width
(in the average 4.12 in nominotypical subspe-
cies). Marginal bead of the pronotum (behind
of the humeral denticles) of L. denticollis ady-
geicus is distinctly less rounded. The body is
more slender and less convex, especially in first
third of the elytra. The head is longer, shoul-
ders more oblique.
Habi ta t . A new subspecies was collected
in belt of subalpine meadows (altitude of
1800—1900 m). All specimens was found
deeply under stones on lots with sparse grass
and loose soil.
