Beschreibungen/Notizen

• The diversity of the Passalidae (Scarabaeoidea) of Laos is investigated, largely by means of material collected by the Beetle Diversity of Laos project undertaken by the Basel Natural History Museum (NHMB), as well from a Kyushu University expedition in 2003. Existing data from the literature to date are also included in this review. At present, 15 Passalidae species are recorded for Laos, two subspecies are potentially endemic, one of them, Leptaulax pacholatkoi mutoniatus Neumann et Kon ssp.nov., is described here for the first time. A key to species identification is provided.
