Two new species of the genus Anillinus Casey (Coleoptera, Carabidae, Anillini) from the southern United States

Two new species of blind ground beetles are described from the southern United States. One species, Anillinusrelictussp. nov. (type locality: E of Oneonta, Blount County, Alabama), based on the structure of male genitalia, is similar to Texan Anillinus, in particular to the endogean A.sinuatus Jeannel. The second species, A.felicianussp. nov. (type locality: 4 mi SW Jackson, West Feliciana Parish, Louisiana), is superficially similar to the endogean A.sinuaticollis Jeannel from Roane County, Tennessee, and represents the first record of the genus for the state of Louisiana. All species are illustrated with digital images of habitus, body parts, and male and female genitalia. Biogeographical and evolutionary implications of the new findings are discussed.
