Аннотация

A review of the tenebrionid genus Podhomala Solier, 1836 is given. In total, eight species from Kazakhstan and Middle Asia are listed: P. (s. str.) lucidula (Krynicki, 1832), P. (s. str.) bicostata (Sénac, 1884), P. (s. str.) fausti Kraatz, 1881, P. (s. str.) medvedevisp. n., P. (s. str.) heydeni Reitter, 1907, P. (s. str.) serrata (Fischer von Waldheim, 1830), P. (s. str.) acuta (Reitter, 1901), and P. (Urielina) nitida (Baudi di Selve, 1876). The following synonymy is established: Podhomala Solier, 1836 = Uriela Reitter, 1887, syn. n., = Pterocomodes Reitter, 1901, syn. n.;Podhomala (s. str.) lucidula Krynicki, 1832 = P. (s. str.) suturalis Solier, 1836, syn. resurr. A key to species, images, review of morphological adaptations, and distribution map of the genus Podhomala are given.
