Description
Quedius (Raphirus) petraensis FAGEL, 1968 (Figs 66-68, Map 5)
Quedius petraensis FAGEL, 1968a: 6 f.
T y p e m a t e r i a l e x a m i n e d: Holotype ♂ [dissected prior to present study; aedeagus slightly damaged, transferred from microvial to transparent slide]: " Coll. R. I. Sc. N. B., Pétra. 3, Arabie, elytr. parcius punctatus, ex coll. Fauvel / Coll. et det. A. Fauvel, Quedius josue Saulcy, R.I.Sc.N.B. 17.479 / G. Fagel det., Quedius petraensis n.sp. / Type / Quedius petraensis Fagel, det. V. Assing 2018 " (IRSNB).
C o m m e n t: The original description is based on a unique male holotype from "Arabie: Pétra" (FAGEL 1968c), a locality today situated in South Jordan, not in Saudi Arabia as indicated in SCHÜLKE & SMETANA (2015). Subsequent records are unknown. Externally, Q. petraensis differs from the geographically close Q. josue by the coloration (pronotum blackish with the margins narrowly reddish; elytra uniformly pale-reddish). The species is characterized particularly by the shapes of the apices of the median lobe and of the paramere of the aedeagus in ventral view (Figs 66-68).
