As a consequence of our current taxonomic remodeling of the Asidini tribe we are doing, the specific composition and systematic position of the subgenres Elongasida Escalera, 1906 and Pseudoelongasida Escalera, 1922, they had already changed in relation to what was pointed out in the last Catalogue of Palaearctic Coleoptera from Löbl & Smetana. Elongasida has lost the species A. asperata Solier, 1836 and A. inesperata Escalera, 1921 incorporated to subgenre Glabrasida and subgenre Pseudoelongasida has gone from being a subgenre of genre Asida to be a subgenre of genre Alphasida, recovering like valid the species A. tenuecostata Fairmaire, 1880 that had been previously considered incertae sedis. In this work a revision of the two subgenera is made and it is proposed the fusion of both in the unique subgenre Elongasida that would become Iberian-Moroccan. Pseudoelongasida becomes a new synonymia and the new subgenus resulting from the fusion has twelve species: two North Africans, eight Iberians already known and two new species described here, preserved as nomen in litteris in the collections of MNCN of Madrid: Alphasida (Elongasida) levantina sp. nov. and Alphasida (Elongasida) moroderi sp. nov. |
