Based on the clus ter analysis of the faunistic composition of the studi ed water bodies the reservoli the native water hodies; and the in- and Outflows were similar Fig. 3.). These water bodies h ad direct connection to the reservoir. By the clusteranalysis they constitute essentialty a group of closely similar water hodies based on the similari ty of their dragonfly fauna. In the case of the leaking canalsystem there was no direct connection to the reservo ir: these were connected to there servo ir by pumping stations. The dragons y fauna of this water body type was stighily separated frona the previ ous group of water bodies. The River Tis Za separated with the highest levet frona the others by the clus ter analysis. It was lower in every species richness meastire compared to the other four water body types.

A NEW GENUS AND SPECIES OF THE SUBTRIBEANI SODACTYLINA PROM SOUTH-WESTERN AUSTRALIA COLEOPTERA: CARABIDAE HARPALINI)

INTRODUCTION

The supra- specific system of the subtribe Anisodactylina is the most ad-vanced and phylogeneti catly the most substantiated with in Harpalini than ks large lyto the fundamentat works of NOONAN l9 3. l9J6). This subtribe comprises abo ut 40 valid genera and subgenera with abolit 340 species distribu ted in ali major Zoo- geographical region s. predo minantly in temperate Zones. The Australi an fauna hasnot been adequale ly studi ed and nee is revision. The modern catalogue of ali described taxa with information abolit their distribution has been published by MOORE et til. l98J). The Australi an Anisodactylina includes the rather primitive genera

Other genera extend more widely but. except for Notiobici. are most diverse also in the Australi an region. The rather diverse genus Milobici sensu lato) is distribu ted in the NewWorid. Africa and Australia. hile working on the collections of Harpalini in the Hungarian Natural History Museum. Budapest, I found a series of the hight y peculiar species of the tribe Anisodactilina captured in the Nornatu p-walpole Nature Park south-western Australia. which. in my Opinion, be long S to a new species and a new genus. Their descriptions are provided in the preSent paper.
