KEY WORDS: Coleoptera, Cryptophagidae, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa Republic. КЛЮЧЕВЫЕ СЛОВА:Coleoptera, Cryptophagidae, Квазу лу-Натал, ЮАР. ? ? ABSTRACT. The material KwaZulu-Natals Collection: the results of expedition (200304) in South Africa Republic. The some species Cryptophagus, Micrambe, Atomaria, Curelius are determined. РЕЗЮМЕ. Представлен материал, собранный во время экспедиции в ЮАР в 200304 гг. Найдены виды родов Cryptophagus, Micrambe, Atomaria, Curelius. The family Cryptophagidae comprises about 800 species worldwide. Cryptophagidae [in the sense of Johnson et al., 2007] are to be found in mouldy plant substrates, in flowers, in fungi, under bark, and in the nests of social insects, and the nests of birds and mammals. The species associated with stored food products are supposed to live on the spores and hyphae of moulds [Hinton, 1945]. The material was collected by M.B. Mostovski in KwaZulu-Natal province (Fig. 1). The KwaZulu-Natal National Park specialises in the conservation of plants and animals from the eastern region of South Africa and of rare and endangered species from elsewhere. A total of thirty-seven species and subspecies endemic to the Province in certain families of Coleoptera, Diptera, Lepidoptera, Mecoptera and Odonata were included [Armstrong, 2002]. This material was received from V.G. Gratchev, recently deceased entomologist dealing with family Curculionidae. Besides Cryptophagidae, material contains several genera of Phalacridae. Phalacridae of South Africa is poorly understood, except old papers of Champion and Guillebeau [Champion, 1925; Guillebeau, 1892, 1893, 1894] and several contemporary works [Lyubarsky, 1997, 2004; Svec, 2002]. The material contains Entomocnemus Guillebeau, 1894, Augasmus Motschulsky, 1858, Olibrus Erichson, 1845, Phalacrus Paykull, 1800, Tinodemus Guillebeau, 1894. The present work contains also determination of Cryptophagid species. Material available for study is presented by 429 specimens of Cryptophagidae, all collected by M.B. Mostovski (200304). The material derives mostly from Pietermaritzburg. Standard label: S. Africa, KwaZulu-Natal, Pietermaritzburg, Hilton, Malaise trap, leg. M.B. Mostovski.

REMARKS. This species (Figs 23) is distinguished by the following features: pronotum very transverse, four teeth in lateral margin, pubescence elated, hind wing present. N. Bruce in several major articles describing a new species in the genus Micrambe from South Africa. Three authors (Bruce, Grouvelle, and Scott) describe several dozen species of the genus from South Africa. This genus requires a detailed revision. For example, some species are described by a single female. These multiple forms have been described by Bruce [1951, 1952a, b, 1954, 1959, 1960, 1963, 1965], Grouvelle [1903, 1908, 1916, 1919], Scott [1935, 19341936]. Listed criteria (pronotum very transverse, four teeth in lateral margin, pubescence elated, hind wing present) have not all species. The some species are not suitable for the specified in the description of special features. For instead, M. varicolor Grouvelle, 1919 last sternite of abdomen with depression, metanotum with narrow not punctured strip medially. Many species are suitable on the basis of descriptions: M. brachyptoracicus Bruce, 1952 (Tanganyika ); M. hirsutus Grouvelle, 1916 (Cape); M. irritabilis Bruce, 1951 (Park Albert, Congo); M. kolbei Grouvelle, 1916 (Zululand); M madagascariensis Grouvelle, 1916 (Mt. Cameroon); M. minutus Grouvelle, 1916 (Cape); M. molestus Bruce, 1951 (Park Albert, Congo); M. mutilatus Bruce, 1952a (Congo); M. olkokolae Bruce, 1960 (Tanganyika); M. plagiatus Pering. (Cape); M. punctatus Grouvelle, 1916 (Natal); M. reitteri Grouvelle, 1916 (Cape); M. simoni Grouvelle, 1916 (Natal);M. tenuicornis Grouvelle, 1908 (Rodesia).
