Polyctesis View in CoL generic-group Hołyński, 2003
Bellamyina Bílý, 1994 View in CoL ( Figs 6 View Figs 1–12. 1–9 , 19, 20 View Figs 13–27. 13–26 ); type species Bellamyina cylindrica Bílý, 1994 View in CoL (= Polyctesis hunanensis Peng, 1992 ), by original designation; one species in East Palaearctic ( VOLKOVITSH 2006, BELLAMY 2008).
Polyctesis Marseul, 1865 View in CoL ( Figs 5, 11 View Figs 1–12. 1–9 , 17, 18 View Figs 13–27. 13–26 ); type species Polyctesis rhois Marseul, 1865 View in CoL , by monotypy; one species in West Palaearctic (East Mediterranean), three species in East Palaearctic and Oriental Region .
Schoutedeniastes Burgeon, 1941 View in CoL (substitute name for Schoutedenia Obenberger, 1924 , nom. preocc.) ( Figs 7–9, 12 View Figs 1–12. 1–9 , 21–26 View Figs 13–27. 13–26 ); type species Schoutedenia kerremansi Obenberger, 1924 (= Ptosima magnifica Waterhouse, 1875 View in CoL ), by original designation; one species in Afrotropical Region, nine species in Oriental Region and East Palaearctic.
Svatactesis gen. nov. ( Figs 1–4, 10 View Figs 1–12. 1–9 , 13–16, 27 View Figs 13–27. 13–26 ); type species: Polyctesis johanidesi Bílý, 1997 View in CoL , by original designation; one species in West Palaearctic .
Formally, Chrysophana and Polyctesis generic-groups can be treated as distinct subtribes but I believe that their establishment prior to a taxonomic revision of the tribe Polyctesini is inappropriate, given the uncertainty regarding taxonomic level and composition of some taxa (e.g. Bellamyina , Schoutedeniastes ).
HOŁYŃSKI (1993, 2003) indicated that the main distinguishing characters of Schoutedeniastes and Polyctesis are coloration pattern and length of the 2 nd elytral stria. Re-examination of the Schoutedeniastes species has shown that the length of the 2 nd stria varies within the genus ( Table 1 View Table 1 ) which allows the recognition of two groups of species: the S. magnifica / amabilis group (2 nd stria short) and the S. vitalisi group (2 nd stria long). Schoutedeniastes magnifica is the only Afrotropical species of this genus slightly differing from the species attributed to the S. amabilis group in some character states as indicated in Table 1 View Table 1 ; for this reason it is placed in separate S. magnifica species-group. There are also distinct differences in the male genital structures between the species of S. amabilis and S. vitalisi species-groups ( Figs 22–26 View Figs 13–27. 13–26 ) but the internal structure of aedeagus of S. magnifica was not studied, externally it is similar to those of S. amabilis species-group ( Figs 21–22 View Figs 13–27. 13–26 ). The species-group composition of the genus Schoutedeniastes is as follows:
