The neotropical genus Glyptoma Erichson, 1839 with description of new species and a key to the species (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae: Osorinae).

Abstract

The Neotropical genus Glyptoma was revised with 18 species currently known from Central and South America. The following new species are described: G. rossii, G. simile, G. lescheni, G. guinanense, G. amazonense, G. schuhi. The following new synonyms are established: G. cicatricosa Motschulsky, 1857 = G. longipes Sharp, 1887; G. opacum (Sharp, 1876) = G. zischkai (Scheerpeltz, 1970); G. crassicorne Erichson, 1840 = G. cribellum Sharp, 1887; G. denieri (Bernhauer, 1939) = G. sanctaecatharinae (Scheerpeltz, 1970); G. nitens (Bernhauer, 1908) = G. reichenspergi (Scheerpeltz, 1970); G. nitidum (Bernhauer, 1908) = G. bolivianus (Scheerpeltz, 1970) and G. trinidadense Blackwelder, 1943. Glyptoma simplex (Wendeler, 1955) is transferred to the genus Espeson with the following new synonym established: Espeson simplex (Wendeler, 1955) = Espeson simplex Irmler, 2012.
