N2 - The courtship behavior of Meloe (Micromeloe) decorus and Sitaris muralis is described. From all courtship patterns described within the Meloinae fanning courtship of M. decorus differs quite remarkably. The differences to other subgenera within the genus Meloe are described. Their significance for the systematic position of M. decorus within its genus is emphasized and discussed. Courtship behavior of S. muralis is compared to courtship behavior of other species of Nemognathinae.
