Type material. Oodes desertus Motschulsky : lectotype ♀, rather damaged (see also Kelejnikova 1976: 195), with missing head and its appendages, pronotum, prothorax, fore legs, tarsomere 5 of right middle leg, tarsomeres 4–5 of left hind leg and whole right hind leg ( Figs 23A, B, C, D View FIGURE 23 ), with labels: ‘Des. Kirg. Mer. [r, h] // Oodes desertus Motsch. Des. Kirg. M. [w, h] // Zool. Mus. Mosc. Univ. (Moscow, RUSSIA) ex coll. V.I. Motschulsky [w, p] // [red label without data]’ (ZMMU).

Chaudoir (1882: 346) suggested that O. desertus may be identical to O. gracilis without having seen the type material of first taxon. This view was later followed only by Jakobson (1906) who placed the former as a questionable synonym of the latter. All other authors (see ‘References’) cited O. desertus as a separate species.

No data exist for number of studied specimens in the description of O. desertus . Kelejnikova (1976) noted that the specimen kept in ZMMU is a syntype. Therefore, we followed the Recommendation 73F of the Code ( ICZN 1999) and designated the available specimen as lectotype.

Type material. Oodes prolixus Bates : two syntypes, labelled as follows: 1♀, ‘Hiogo [w, h] // Ex-Musaeo H.W. Bates 1892 [w, p]’ ( MNHN, box ‘Collection Generale R. Oberthur H.W. Bates Dercylus ... Macroproctus ’); 1♀, relatively well-preserved, labelled: ‘Hiogo [w, h] // Oodes prolixus Bates [w, h] // 59579 [w, p] // Type [r, p] // prolixus Bates * Japonia [y, h]’ (MNHUB, box nr. Oodini II ). Both specimens are conspecific.

The specimen in MNHN has been compared with the lectotype of O. desertus and showed that the two specimens are conspecific. Therefore, we propose the following synonymy: Oodes prolixus Bates, 1873 , syn. n. of Oodes desertus Motschulsky, 1858 .

Type material. Oodes hahni Reitter : lectotype ♀, relatively well-preserved individual, with left maxillary palpus, right labial palpus, antennomeres 2–11 of left antenna and tarsomeres 1–5 of right hind leg missing ( Figs 23E, F View FIGURE 23 ), with labels: ‘ Oodes Hahni m 1907. [w, h] // Turkestan Taschkend [w, p] // coll. Reitter [w, p] // Holotypus Oodes Hahni Reitter 1908 . [white label with red margins, h/p]’ (HNHM).

Oodes hahni was described as separate species ( Reitter 1908: 186). Its status was discussed by Semenov-Tian-Shanskij (1909: 26) who concluded that O. hahni may be a subspecies or synonym of O. desertus . It has been treated as a variation ( Csiki 1931; Kryzhanovskij et al. 1995) or synonym of O. desertus ( Lorenz 1998, 2005; Bousquet 2003, 2017). The single type specimen was found in HNHM and borrowed for examination. Its study revealed that the specimen is conspecific with the lectotype of O. desertus Motschulsky and the syntypes of O. prolixus Bates , thus the synonymy of Oodes hahni Reitter, 1908 with O. desertus Motschulsky, 1858 is confirmed. Since Reitter (1908) did not specify the number of specimen he had at hands, the sole specimen present in HNHM is designated as lectotype.

Incorrectly designated type material. Oodes prolixus Bates : 1♂ designated as holotype, ‘Type H. T. [white rounded label with red band, p] // Japan. G Lewis. 1910–320. [w, p] // Oödes prolixus Bates [w, h]’ (BMNH).

There are two male specimens in BMNH labelled as holotype and paratype of Oodes prolixus . This designation was made by mistake because the data present on their labels show they are not true types. See Andrewes (1919) ’ notes under Pseudoodes vicarius (“Incorrectly designated type material”).

Diagnosis. Oodes desertus can be separated from O. japonicus in its much darker (dark brown to black) antennae, palpomeres, tibiae and tarsomeres, prosternal process completely bordered, male mesotibia modified, and lateral end of metacoxal basal sulcus longer and less oblique (for additional differences between the two species see “Key to species of Oodes , Pseudoodes gen. n., Sundaoodes gen. n., and Nothoodes gen. n. in Palaearctic and Oriental regions”).

Description. Habitus. Specimens of middle size (BL: 9.6–11.8 mm, BW: 3.3–4.3 mm), with elongate, rather convex body ( Fig. 23E View FIGURE 23 ). Ratios and measurements. See Table 4. Color and luster. Body black; antennae, palpi and legs piceous. Integument moderately shiny, without iridescence. Punctuation. Dorsal surface without punctuation, pro- and mesoepisternum superficially punctate; sides of pro- and metasternum as well as metepisternum more markedly punctate; abdominal ventrites 1–5 at sides rugose and punctate, ventrite 6 punctate at apex.

Head. More than half as wide as pronotum ( Table 4). Mentum tooth with distinct paramedial border ( Fig. 24A View FIGURE 24 ).

Thorax. Pronotum with sides rounded toward posterior angles ( PW /PB: 1.03–1.10); maximum width in posterior third; disc with weak, poorly defined laterobasal impressions; base slightly sinuate; anterior angles widely rounded, well-projected anteriorly. Prosternum with median longitudinal sulcus shallow; prosternal process bordered throughout, widely rounded at apex ( Fig. 24B View FIGURE 24 ). Metepisternum longer than wide (MA/ MM: 0.73–0.90), with lateral margin convex and coadunation with epipleuron long, located anteriorly ( Fig. 23B View FIGURE 23 ). Elytra. Apical sinuation weak. Basal margin distinct laterally, forming a small denticle at shoulder, disappearing medially at level between striae 2 and 3. Granulation in marginal furrow continuous. Parascutellar striola impressed as much as other striae; striola and striae anteriorly punctate; stria 7 as distinct as stria 6. Intervals 1–7 nearly flat, interval 8 slightly more convex than others. Legs. Metacoxal basal sulcus long, extending to lateral fourth. Male mesotibia moderately modified, with a swelling in apical two-thirds. Protarsomeres 1–3 of male moderately dilated, with second segment nearly as long as wide (W/Lp2: 1.02–1.03). Male genitalia. Median lobe ( Figs 24C, D View FIGURE 24 ) with basal bulb short and wide; angle between basal bulb and shaft acute; shaft long, approximately as swollen as basal bulb; apex short, tapered and curved ventrally; apical lamella short, rounded; ostium elongate, not reaching basal bulb. Female genitalia. Basal gonocoxite with six lateroapical setae arranged in line.Apical gonocoxite with two small dorsolateral ensiform setae ( Fig. 24E View FIGURE 24 ). Distal lobe of bursa copulatrix quite large; spermatheca coiled apically ( Figs 24F, G View FIGURE 24 ).

Distribution. Palaearctic Region: Romania, Russia (Southern European Territory, the Russian Far East), Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan,? Kyrgyzstan,? Tajikistan, Japan ( Ishkov & Kabak 1995; Kryzhanovskij et al. 1995; Sundukov 2013; Bousquet 2017), Korea ( Kim et al. 1994), China ( Wu 1937). According to Nakhibasheva et al. (2012: 305, as L. prolixa ), O. desertus is a rare species, whose range is disjunct: the western part extending along steppe and semi-desert zones from south–east Europe to Balkhash Lake and the eastern part covering the Far East of Russia, Korea, the Japanese Islands, and north–eastern China. First records for Romania. The records for Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan need verification.

Type material. Lachnocrepis japonica Bates : 2♂♂, 4♀♀ syntypes, ‘ Nagasaki [w, h] // Ex-Musaeo H.W. Bates 1892 [w, p]’ ( MNHN, box ‘Collection Générale R. Oberthur H.W. Bates Dercylus ...

Oodini II ); 1♂ syntype, with missing abdomen and right hind leg, labelled: ‘ Nagasaki [w, h] // Type [r, p] // 59579 [w, p]’ (MNHUB (box nr. Oodini II ); 1♂, 4♀♀ syntypes, ‘Kiu–Kiang [w, h]’ ( MNHN, box ‘Collection Générale R. Oberthur H.W. Bates Dercylus ...

The sex of one of the first two males from ‘Nagasaki’ is tentatively determined. This sample is rather damaged, with mouthparts and one protibia detached and glued on a separate board.

? Type material. Oodes piceolus Fairmaire : 1♂, ‘Foo–choiu [w, h]’ ( MNHN, box ‘Collection Générale R. Oberthur H.W. Bates Dercylus ... Macroproctus ’). Uncertain type assignation. ‘Foo–choiu’ is a French variant of the name Foochow, that is, in turn, an old inscription of Fuzhou, the capital and one of the largest cities in Fujian Province, China. On the other hand, the type locality of O. piceolus , ‘Fokien’, is a variant inscription of Fukien, a former Romanized form of Fujian. Because the two discussed names refer to the present Fujian Province, further research is needed to evidence whether the specimen in question is a type.

Incorrectly designated type material. Lachnocrepis japonica Bates : 1♂ designated as holotype, ‘Type H. T. [white rounded label with red band, p] // Japan. G Lewis. 1910–320. [w, p] // HIOGO [w, p] // japonicus, Bates [w, p]’ (BMNH).

TME: 206 specimens. TGE: 4♂♂, 2♀♀.

Diagnosis. Easily differentiated from other Oodes treated here by having the least broadened pronotum ( PW / HW <1.77, Table 4). Oodes japonicus is most similar to O. desertus but differs in its reddish appendages, prosternal process incompletely bordered, male mesotibia not modified, and lateral end of metacoxal basal sulcus shorter and more oblique.

Description. Habitus. Medium-sized specimens (BL: 9.8–11.5 mm, BW: 3.4–4.2 mm), with rather elongate and not very convex body ( Figs 25A, D View FIGURE 25 ). Ratios and measurements. See Table 4. Color and luster. Rufopiceous to piceous, head and pronotum sometimes paler than elytra; antennae, palpomeres, tibiae, tarsi, and posterolateral ends of pronotum rufopiceous. Integument moderately shiny, without iridescence. Punctuation. Dorsal surface without punctuation; sides of prosternum and mesoepisternum shallowly punctate; proepisternum nearly smooth; sides of metasternum and metepisternum more distinctly punctate; abdominal ventrites 1–5 at sides rugose, 2–3 punctate submedially, 6 punctate at apex. Head. Significantly narrower than pronotum ( Table 4). Mentum tooth with distinct paramedial border ( Figs 25B, E View FIGURE 25 ). Thorax. Pronotum with sides well-rounded toward posterior angles ( PW /PB: 1.06–1.18); maximum width in posterior third; laterobasal impressions shallow; base indistinctly sinuate, almost straight; anterior angles widely rounded, well-projected anteriorly. Prosternum with median longitudinal sulcus shallow but distinct; prosternal process widely rounded and bordered at apex, unbordered at sides ( Fig. 25F View FIGURE 25 ). Metepisternum slightly longer than wide (MA/ MM: 0.90–1.00), with lateral margin convex and coadunation with epipleuron long, located anteriorly ( Fig. 25C View FIGURE 25 ). Elytra. Apical sinuation weak, poorly defined. Basal margin distinct laterally, forming a small denticle at shoulder, disappearing medially at level of stria 2. Granulation in marginal furrow continuous. Parascutellar striola punctate, impressed as much as other striae; striae punctate anteriorly; stria 7 as distinct as stria 6. Intervals 1–7 flat, interval 8 slightly convex. Legs. Metacoxal basal sulcus extending to lateral third, somewhat shorter and more oblique than that of O. desertus . Male mesotibia not modified. Protarsomeres 1–3 of male moderately dilated, with second tarsomere nearly as long as wide (W/Lp2: 0.95–1.00). Male genitalia. Median lobe ( Figs 26A, B, C, D View FIGURE 26 ) with basal bulb short and wide; angle between basal bulb and shaft acute; shaft long, less swollen than basal bulb, narrowed distally; apex short, tapered, barely curved ventrally; apical lamella short, rounded (population from Japan) or somewhat pointed at tip (population from Laos); ostium and internal sac as in O. desertus . Female genitalia. Basal gonocoxite without long anteroapical setae, instead with small punctures, a few of which bear miniature setae ( Fig. 26E View FIGURE 26 ; see also Habu, 1956: 101, fig. 36). Apical gonocoxite with distinct projection on medial margin and single, very small dorsolateral ensiform seta. Distal lobe of bursa copulatrix narrower than in O. desertus ; spermatheca coiled apically ( Figs 26F, G View FIGURE 26 ).

Distribution. Russia (the Far East), North Korea, South Korea, Japan, China (Shandong, Shanghai, Yunnan, Guizhou, Hunan, Jiangxi, Fujian), Laos, and Vietnam. First records for Chinese provinces of Shandong, Guizhou and Hunan, the Shanghai Municipality, Laos and Vietnam.

Notes. The shape of the apical lamella of median lobe varies among populations. In specimens from Japan it is more rounded while in those from Laos and Vietnam it is more pointed ( Figs 26B, D View FIGURE 26 ).
