Abstract

A taxonomic review of the tenebrionid-beetle genus Calyptopsis Solier, 1835 from Kazakhstan and Middle Asia is given. In total, five species are listed: C. clypeata Faust, 1875 (Turkmenistan, Iran), C. deplanata Faust, 1875 (Turkmenistan), C. incerta Faust, 1875 (Turkmenistan, Iran), C. punctiventris Baudi di Selve, 1874 (Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan), and C. faustisp. n. (Turkmenistan). A new synonymy is established: Calyptopsis punctiventris Baudi di Selve, 1874 = Calyptopsis laevipennis Reitter, 1897, syn. n. Lectotype of Calyptopsis deplanata is designated. A key to the species of the genus Calyptopsis from Kazakhstan and Middle Asia is given.
