摘要
The six species of the soft-bodied elaterid genus Selasia Laporte (Agrypninae: Drilini) from the Palaearctic Region are reviewed: S. arabica Geisthardt, 2003 (Yemen, Oman, The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia), S. atriventris Pic, 1914 (India, Nepal), S. boruckae Kundrata, 2012 (Nepal), S. homhilia Geisthardt, 2003 (Yemen: Socotra), S. merkli Kundrata, 2012 (Pakistan), and S. socotrana Kundrata, 2012 (Yemen: Socotra). Selasia arabica and S. atriventris are recorded for the first time from Oman and Nepal, respectively. The variability in coloration of S. arabica is discussed. Selasia bleusei Olivier, 1913 from Rhodes is redescribed and transferred to Drilus Olivier, 1790 as D. bleusei (Olivier, 1913), comb. nov. A differential diagnosis is given and taxonomically important characters are figured. An identification key as well as data on the distributions, type depositories and bibliographic references of each Palaearctic Selasia species are provided.
