Abstract

Blethisa inexspectata is described as new from one male specimen from Alaska; it is the sister species of B. julii LeConte. The phylogeny and biogeography of Blethisa Bonelli is discussed, and a key to all known species of Blethisa is given. Blethisa kaszabi Jedlička 1967 is placed in synonymy with B. tuberculata Motschulsky 1846.

Résumé

Nous décrivons Blethisa inexspectata sp. n. d'un mâle collectionné en Alaska. Cette espèce est apparentée à B. julii LeConte. Nous discutons la phylogénie et la biogéographie des espèces de Blethisa, et pourvoyons une clef d'identification des espèces du genre. Blethisa kaszabi Jedlička 1967 devient un synonyme de B. tuberculata Motschulsky 1846.
