Taxonomic analysis reveals a novel click beetle species and redescribes female Neopsephus assamensis in Elateridae, highlighting updated morphological diversity and global genus distributions.
In this study, we describe Neopsephus umiamensis Mandal & Chandran sp. nov. from Umiam, Meghalaya and redescribe the female of N. assamensis, a species previously documented from India. In addition, we provide a comprehensive worldwide checklist of Neopsephus species. High-quality photographs of the habitus, abdominal structures, and genitalia of the documented species are also presented.http://www.zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act:B297DAA5-95CF-4A39-985C-7659ADD89802
