Abstract: Hydroporus jelineki sp. nov. is described from Iran and Turkey, H. hajeki sp.
nov. from Iran, H. holzschuhi sp. nov. from Turkey and H. shaver- doae sp. nov.
from Armenia. The lectotypes of H. jacobsoni Zaitzev, 1927 and H. kraatzii
Schaum, 1868 are designated. Hydroporus libanus Régimbart, 1901 and H.
kryshtali Bilyashiwski, 1993 are also included in the study, since they are
similar to some of the new species and almost unknown in the literature; their
original descriptions are translated from Latin and Ukrainian, respectively.
Except H. kraatzii, the above-mentioned species are externally rather similar,
and only the males can be distinguished with certainty by the shape of their
aedeagi, which are figured along with the female genitalia of five species. All
these species belong to the longulus-group of Hydroporus Clairville, 1806, the
members of which were treated as belonging to the subgenus Sternoporus
Falkenström, 1930 until not long ago. Some historical notes on the
classification of the longulus-group members and, additionally, on that of the
H. memnonius- and the H. neglectus-group members are provided. A synopsis of
the H. longulus-group is also given, the total number of its members now
increasing from 23 to 27. Finally, some general notes on the habitats of the
H. longulus-group members are provided.
