Description of Bathysciola liqueana n. sp. from the central Pyrenees. Designation of lectotypes and distributiondata for species of the B. meridionalis group (Jacquelin du Val, 1854) (Insecta, Coleoptera, Leiodidae, Cholevinae,Leptodirini)We describe a new species of the genus Bathysciola Jeannel, 1910 (B. liqueana n. sp.) belonging to the %26quot;meridionalis%26quot; group. It was collected in a subterranean environment, in Liqu谷 cave, Larroquemassif, Moulis, Ari豕ge, France. The closest species is Bathysciola meridionalis (Jacquelin du Val, 1854), also known from Ari豕ge. The new species differs mainly in morphological characteristics of the aedeagus: short, wide, with rounded apex in B. liqueana n. sp. whereas it is long, narrow, with pointed apex in B. meridionalis.We discuss the taxonomical position of the new species and provide illustrations of structures showing the differences between the two species, along with distribution data, including for B. finismillennii Fresneda %26 Salgado, 2006. We designate lectotypes of B. meridionalis and B. nitidula Normand, 1907.Key words:
