Abstract
Taxonomic, diagnostic and faunistic data for eight species of Hygrodromicus Tronquet, 1981 and three species of Paratrichodromeus Zerche, 1992 (Omaliinae: Anthophagini) from the Middle Asia, the Himalayan Region and China are presented. Three species are (re-) described and illustrated: H. klapperichi Coiffait, 1982 (Afghanistan), H. latilobatus sp. n. (central Nepal), and P. angustilobatus sp. n. (Afghanistan). A new synonymy is established: H. coriaceus (Cameron, 1924) = Geodromicus palpalis Coiffait, 1977 syn. n. Habitus of the paratype of Geodromicus palpalis Coiffait, 1977, H. reitteri (Scheerpeltz, 1933), H. wrasei Zerche, 1992 and all species of the genus Paratrichodromeus are illustrated. A distribution map for species of the genus Paratrichodromeus is given. Hygrodromicus reitteri (Scheerpeltz, 1933) is recorded from Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan for the first time.
