Description

Pogonus (Pogonus) luridipennis (Germar, 1822)

Figs 2C, 3H, 5B

Harpalus luridipennis Germar, 1822: 2.

Pogonus burrellii Curtis, 1824: 47.

Pogonus flavipennis Dejean, 1828: 8.

Diagnoses

Tegument bicolored: head and pronotum with metallic sheen, bluish green or bronze, while the elytra and appendices have a testaceous colour. Pronotum markedly cordiform and transverse. Elytra wide, sub-parallel and less convex than in other species. Up to 3 setigerous pores in the 3 rd interstria.

Material examined

GERMANY • 1 ♂, 1 ♀; Hamburg-Altona, Mittelbe Sülldorf (near Magdeburg); 4 Jun. 1993; Wrase leg.; VMO.

SPAIN • 1 ♂; Huelva; Cardiel leg.; MNCN • 1 ♂; Toledo, Quero; 22 May 1929; Escalera leg.; MNCN.

Description

Habitus (Fig. 2C). Length: 6.0–7.0 mm. First antennomere slightly darker than the rest, that are uniformly testaceous. Palps yellow. Lateral sinuosity of the pronotum well-marked; anterior and hind angles in general protruding; lateral sulcus mildly widened. Surface of the anterior region of the pronotum slightly striated. Legs entirely testaceous. Median lobe of the aedeagus narrow and slightly arcuate, with the apex scarcely developed but clearly directed down (Fig. 3H).

Chorology

Wide Palaearctic distribution from the Iberian Peninsula to Siberia, in Mediterranean, Atlantic coastal and interior localities; coast of the North Sea, Black Sea and Caspian Sea (Ratti 1983; Bousquet 2017).

Ibero-Balearic distribution (Fig. 5B): in the Iberian Peninsula, the species is known with precision from coastal localities of the meridional extreme and from saline environments of the Southern Subplateau (SE Spain) and the Ebro valley (NE Spain). Imprecise records of P. luridipennis exist from Los Monegros Desert (NE Spain; Vives & Vives 1981, 1999), a saltmarsh of Toledo (SE Spain; Vives & Vives 1981), Alicante and Barcelona (E Spain; Zaballos & Jeanne 1994). The species is not known from the Balearic Islands.

Biology

Species associated with saline environments where plants of the genus Salicornia grow (Vigna Taglianti & Bonavita 1994). The preimaginal stages of P. luridipennis are known, unusually for Pogonini (see Jeannel 1941).
