Study on nominotypical subgenus of Glycyphana Burmeister, 1842, with the description of new species (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Cetoniinae).

Representatives of nominotypical subgenus of Glycyphana Burmeister, 1842 are studied. Glycyphana (Glycyphana) meridionalis sp. nov. is described as new to science. It is compared with closely allied species G. (G.) fulvistemma Motschulsky, 1860 and G. (G.) hybrida Mikšič, 1970. Rarely collected G. (G.) rugipennis Ritsema, 1879 known only from females, is firstly pictured and its male is described. Differential diagnosis with G. (G.) macquart (Gory & Percheron, 1833) is given. Dichotomical key for all species of the nominotypical subgenus is provided and their updated list including distribution is given. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
