a Meligethes complex of genera; (a) Meligethes flavimanus Sturm, 1845 from Russia, E Siberia (photo by Kirill Makarov); (b) Odonthogethes denticulatus (Heer, 1841) from Poland (photo by Lech Borowiec); (c) Brassicogethes longulus (Schilsky, 1894) from E Turkey (color drawing by Niccolò Falchi). Scale bar = 1.5 mm. b (a) Map of Meligethes s.str. Species richness throughout their overall geographic range. Geographic units are all defined political countries, except for the Asiatic portion of the Russian Federation (the main geographic subdivisions are considered separately), and China (all China is represented). European and Caucasian countries, where two widespread species are present, are considered together. (b) Map of Meligethes s.str. Species richness in China (each administrative province and Taiwan are considered separately). c (a) Map of Odonthogethes species richness throughout their overall geographic range [same criteria as in (b)(a)]. European and Caucasian countries, where only one widespread species is present, are considered together. (b) Map of Odonthogethes species richness in China. d (a) Map of Brassicogethes species richness throughout their overall geographic range [same criteria as in (b)(a)]. Nearctic countries are considered together. (b) Map of Brassicogethes species richness in Europe and in Mediterranean areas (each country and the main, distinct geographical units are considered separately). Numbers of each Meligethes, Odonthogetes and Brassicogethes species are reported for each country, main geographic subdivision or administrative unit. Countries with absence of the studied species are represented by no color
