Аннотация:Two new species of the genus Elathous Reitter, 1890 from Syria are described and illustrated.
Elathous serjillensis sp. n. is morphologically similar to another Syrian species,
E. ekaterinae Preiss, 2003, from which it differs by the shapes of head, pronotum
and male genitalia. Elathous transversalis sp. n. can easily be distinguished from its
congeners by its pronotum which is distinctly wider than long. The discovery of new
Elathous species in the Levant further highlights the importance of this region as a biodiversity
hotspot.
