della Sardegna centro-orientale (Barbagia di Seulo)
(Coleoptera, Histeridae)
di
PAOLO MAGRINI & CARLO ONNIS
Abstract - A new species of the genus Sardulus from central-eastern Sardinia (Barbagia of Seulo) (Coleoptera, Histeridae) - Sardulus gelidus new species - the fifth described in the endemic Sardinian genus Sardulus Patrizi, 1955 - is described from Mount Arcuerì (Seui) and Sadali (Barbagia of Seulo). This hypogean species is well differentiated from the geographically close Sardulus incrassatus Magrini & Fancello, 2005 (for the different shape of the aedeagus, especially, quite shorter and large), and more similar to the southernmost species - Sardulus onnisi Magrini, Casale & Marcia, 2012 - from which is however easily distinguishable by the shorter and dilated aedeagus, and the different punctation of integuments.
