The Aderidae (Coleoptera: Tenebrionoidea) of Cabo Verde (or Cape Verde in English transcription) Archipelago in the Central Atlantic Ocean is revised based on an examination of types and additional material. Four species are confirmed for the archipelago, three of the genus Cobososia Collado et Alonso-Zarazaga, 1996 and one of the genus Aderus Stephens, 1829. We also propose to transfer Anthicus reductus Wollaston, 1867 (Anthicidae: Anthicinae: Anthicini) to the genus Cobososia (Aderidae), as Cobososia reducta (Wollaston, 1867) comb. nov. and demonstrate, that Cobososia angulithorax (Desbrochers des Loges, 1881) is conspecific with Cobososia reducta (Wollaston, 1867) syn. nov. Finally, we present new records and an illustrated identification key to the ant-like leaf beetles of Cabo Verde.
基于对模式标本和额外材料的检查,修订了大西洋中部的佛得角群岛(英文转录为 Cape Verde)的 Aderidae(鞘翅目:拟步甲总科)。该群岛有确认的四个物种,三个属于 Cobososia Collado et Alonso-Zarazaga,1996,一个属于 Aderus Stephens,1829。我们还提议将 Anthicus reductus Wollaston,1867(拟步甲科:Anthicinae:Anthicini)转移到 Cobososia 属(拟步甲科),作为 Cobososia reducta(Wollaston,1867)组合。 nov. 并证明 Cobososia angulithorax(Desbrochers des Loges,1881)与 Cobososia reducta(Wollaston,1867)同义。最后,我们提供了佛得角群岛拟步甲的新记录和带插图的鉴定钥匙。
