Abstract

A new species Entomogonus (Delonurops) doguanatolicus Nabozhenko, sp. n. (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae) is described from Diyarbakır (Turkey). It differs from all members of the subgenus Delonurops Reitter, 1922 in the flattened lateral sides of pronotum. The newly described species is similar to E. clavimanus Reitter, 1903, E. makovskyi Nabozhenko et Tichý, 2011 and E. bialookii Nabozhenko et Tichý, 2011 from which it also differs by a more robust body, structure of pro- and mesotibiae, pro- and mesotarsi and elytral apex. A key to species (based on males) of the subgenus Delonurops of Eastern Anatolia is given.
