DOI: 10.3897/dez.65.27033

Authors: Maria Salnitska, Alexey Solodovnikov

Abstract: Twenty eight species of the genus Quedius from Middle Asia comprising Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan, are revised. Quedius altaicus Korge, 1962, Q. capitalis Eppelsheim, 1892, Q. fusicornis Luze, 1904, Q. solskyi Luze, 1904 and Q. cohaesus Eppelsheim, 1888 are redescribed. The following new synonymies are established: Q. solskyi Luze, 1904 = Q. asiaticus Bernhauer, 1918, syn. n.; Q. cohaesus Eppelsheim, 1888 = Q. turkmenicus Coiffait, 1969, syn. n., = Q. afghanicus Coiffait, 1977, syn. n.; Q. hauseri Bernhauer, 1918 = Q. peneckei Bernhauer, 1918, syn. n., = Q. ouzbekiscus Coiffait, 1969, syn. n.; Q. imitator Luze, 1904 = Q. tschinganensis Coiffait, 1969, syn. n.; Q. novus Eppelsheim, 1892 = Q. dzambulensis Coiffait, 1967, syn. n., Q. pseudonigriceps Reitter, 1909 = Q. kirklarensis Korge, 1971, syn. n. Lectotypes are designated for Q. asiaticus Bernhauer, 1918, Q. fusicornis Luze, 1904, Q. hauseri Bernhauer, 1918, Q. imitator Luze, 1904, Q. novus Eppelsheim, 1892 and Q. solskyi Luze, 1904. For all revised species, taxonomy, distribution and bionomics are summarized. Quedius fuliginosus (Gravenhorst, 1802), Q. sundukovi Smetana, 2003 and Q. pseudonigriceps Reitter, 1909 are recorded for Middle Asia for the first time. One species from the Q. coloratus-group, found to be new to science is not described due to shortage of material. Another possibly new species is tentatively identified as Q. fulvicollis Stephens, 1833 until the taxonomy of that widespread species is revised. An identification key to all species is provided.

A review of the genus Xotidium Löbl, 1992 (Coleoptera, Staphylinidae, Scaphidiinae), with descriptions of five new species https://dez.pensoft.net/article/8386/ Deutsche Entomologische Zeitschrift 63(1): 155-169

DOI: 10.3897/dez.63.8386

Authors: Ryo Ogawa, Ivan Löbl

Abstract: In the present study, we have reviewed all species of the genus Xotidium Löbl, 1992, as well as five new species from Borneo, Malaysia, and Sulawesi, Indonesia, namely, Xotidium flagellum sp. n., X. heissi sp. n., X. meridionale sp. n., X. smetanai sp. n., X. tarantulatum sp. n. A key to all Xotidium species is provided. The female genitalic characters of Xotidium are illustrated and described for the first time.

The Pselaphinae (Coleoptera, Staphylinidae) of New Caledonia and Loyalty Islands. III. Kieneriella, a new genus of the tribe Brachyglutini https://dez.pensoft.net/article/8344/ Deutsche Entomologische Zeitschrift 63(1): 149-154

DOI: 10.3897/dez.63.8344

Authors: Zi-Wei Yin, Peter Hlavac

Abstract: A new genus of the tribe Brachyglutini (Pselaphinae: Goniaceritae), Kieneriella gen. n., is described based on a new species K. novaecaledoniae sp. n. from New Caledonia. The strongly elongate maxillary palpi of Kieneriella is an unusual character state found in other genera of the tribe. The new taxon is compared with allied relatives, and its major diagnostic features are illustrated.

New species and new combinations of Asian Batrisodes Reitter (Coleoptera, Staphylinidae, Pselaphinae), and synonymy of Batrisodellus Jeannel with Batrisodes https://dez.pensoft.net/article/4539/ Deutsche Entomologische Zeitschrift 62(1): 45-54

DOI: 10.3897/dez.62.4539

Authors: Zi-Wei Yin, Jia-Wei Shen, Li-Zhen Li

Abstract: Continuing surveys on the pselaphine fauna in China have revealed four undescribed species of the genus Batrisodes: Batrisodes angustelytratus sp. n. (with Pachycondyla ant) and B. longwangshanus sp. n. from Zhejiang, B. bamian sp. n. (with Pseudolasius ant) from Hunan, and B. songxiaobini sp. n. (with Formica ant) from Yunnan. The genus Batrisodellus is placed as a junior synonym of Batrisodes, syn. n.; this taxonomic act results in eight new combinations: Batrisodes cerberus, B. coprea, B. cristatus, B. fengtingae, B. laticollis, B. longulus, B. palpalis, and B. punctipennis. The Russian Far East species Basitrodes cornutus is transferred to Batrisodes, comb. n.
