Nuovi dati faunistici e tassonomici su Aleocharinae delle tribù Lomechusini, Hoplandriini, Oxypodini e Aleocharini del Sud­america (Coleoptera, Staphylinidae).

Abstract

Taxonomic and faunal data of the 132 specimens in the Zoological Museum of the Humboldt University, Berlin, the Deutsches Entomologisches Institut, Müncheberg and the Herbert Franz Collection in the Naturhistorisches Museum, Wien, are provided. Four tribes (Lomechusini, Hoplandriini, Oxypodini and Aleocharini), 19 genera (Orphnebius, Apalonia, Myrmecoxenia, Macrogerodonia, Zyras, Abrophaena, Meoticaops, Apimela, Feluva, Idiostiba, Diacanthochara, Acrocyusa, Neocalodera, Spanioda, Tinotus, Platandria, Hoplandria, Ctenopeuca and Aleochara) and 50 species are recognized. Thirty-seven species new to science are described and illustrated. The new species are compared with similar species. Three new combinations are proposed.
