Authors: Milankov*, V., Stamenkovic, J., Vujic, A. and S. Simic
Authors' address: Faculty of Science, University of Novi Sad, 21000 Novi Sad, Yugoslavia, e-mail: vesnam@im.ns.ac.yu
Abstract: Natural populations of Cheilosia vernalis (Fallén, 1817) from village Morinj, Mediterranean area (Montenegro); low mountain Fruska Gora in the Pannonian plain (Serbia) and two high Dinaric mountains Durmitor (Montenegro) and Kopaonik (Serbia) on the Balkan Peninsula were analyzed for genetic variability at 12 enzyme loci. Geographic variation was analyzed based on the presence of specific genotypes, rare and private alleles at Gpi, Had, Idh-2, Mdh-2, Pgm and Sod-1 loci. Difference in genetic structure parameters was also observed.

Abstract:
Species belonging to the genera Ahermodontus Báguena,
1930 and Ammoecius Mulsant, 1842 are redescribed
and illustrated. Vladimirellus gen. n. is erected for Aphodius
(Ammoecius) socors Balthasar, 1967. Systematic
and/or nomenclatorial status are discussed resulting in new combinations
and/or new status as follows: Pseudoxyomus armaticeps (Péringuey,
1901), Australaphodius catulus (Balthasar, 1946),
Pseudagoliinus oreotragi (Endrõdi, 1978),
Pseudagoliinus tonderae (Endrõdi, 1980). The
following new synonymies are established: Ammoecius bidentulus
Harold, 1871, syn. n. = A. lugubris Boheman,
1857; Aphodius (Ammoecius) dentinus Péringuey,
1901, syn. n. = A. lugubris Boheman, 1857; Aphodius
(Ammoecius) dukei Endrõdi, 1964, syn. n. = A.
mimus (Péringuey, 1901); Aphodius (Ammoecius)
kochi Petrovitz, 1961, syn. n. = A. mimus (Péringuey,
1901); Aphodius (Ammoecius) orycis Endrõdi,
1980, syn. n. = A. terminatus Harold, 1869; Aphodius
(Ammoecius) orycoides Endrõdi, 1980, syn. n. =
A. terminatus Harold, 1869; Aphodius (Ammoecius)
persimilis Schatzmayr, 1946, syn. n. = A. elevatus
(Olivier, 1789); Aphodius (Ammoecius) tschinghaicus
Balthasar, 1971, syn. n. = Loraphodius kashmirensis
(Sharp, 1878). Neotypes are designated for Ammoecius elevatus
Olivier, 1789 and A. numidicus Mulsant,
1851. Lectotypes are designated for Ammoecius bidentulus Harold,
1871, A. lugubris Boheman, 1857, A. terminatus
Harold, 1869 and A. persimilis Schatzmayr,
1946. With 108 figures.
