Phylogenetic systematics of the genera of Thryptocerina Jeannel, 1949 and new species from New Caledonia (Coleoptera, Carabidae, Oodini).

ABSTRACT: The Oodini precinctive to New Caledonia are reviewed with nine species recognized, of which seven are newly described in two genera. Five species are described in the genus Coptocarpus Chaudoir: C. microps sp. nov., C. erwini sp. nov., C. amieuensis sp. nov., C. magnus sp. nov., and C. lescheni sp. nov. In the genus Adelopomorpha Heller two species, A. tethys sp. nov. and A. tuberculata sp. nov., are described. In order to place cladistically the newly described species in a genus, a phylogenetic analysis of a matrix of 36 characters of adult morphology was conducted including exemplar species of three putative outgroup genera, six putative ingroup thryptocerine oodine genera, an
