Abstract

Two new ground beetle species of the genus Tachyura Motschulsky from Egypt are described and illustrated. Tachyura akkadi n. sp. is based on a specimen preserved in the insect collection of the Ministry of Agriculture in Egypt; while T. fadli n. sp. is based on specimens collected from Salouga Island Protectorate at Aswan. T. akkadi and T. fadli are closely related to T. amabilis ornatus (Apetz, 1854) and to T. sudanensis Schatzmayr & Koch, 1934, respectively.
