Taxonomic notes on Australian species of Sciacharis (Magellanoconnus) (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae: Scydmaeninae).

چکیده
Two species of Australian Cyrtoscydmini were placed in the subgenus Magellanoconnus Franz of Sciacharis Broun: S. carinifrons (Franz) and S. kangarouana (Franz) (both originally described in Neuraphoconnus, a junior synonym of Magellanoconnus Franz). Examination of type specimens revealed that these species names, published in the same paper, are synonymous and S. carinifrons is here selected as a valid name. This species is redescribed and its morphological details are illustrated. Possible relationships of Australian Magellanoconnus with Sciacharis s. str. and Euconnus s. str. are discussed.

Notes on the systematic placement of Sciacharis (Anthicimimus) (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae: Scydmaeninae).
The entangled history of Sciacharis Broun, 1983, a genus in which nearly 240 species were placed by Herbert Franz who has apparently never studied its type species, was recently summarized by Jałoszyński (2014a, b). A synonymy of Chatchamaenus Franz with Sciacharis s. str. was demonstrated, and Maorinus Franz, 1980 was placed as a subgenus of Sciacharis (Jałoszyński 2014a). Still, the systemati...
متن کاملScydmepitoxis gen. n., a new genus of Cyrtoscydmini (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae: Scydmaeninae) from Australia.
A new Australian genus of Cyrtoscydmini, Scydmepitoxis gen. n. with a single species S. paradoxa sp. n. is described from New South Wales. A remarkable character of the new genus is a deep sub-basal constriction of the pronotum. The morphology of Scydmepitoxis is described and illustrated in detail, and its diagnostic characters are discussed. Possible affinities with Sciacharis and Sciacharoid...
متن کاملRevision of Neotropical species of ant-like stone beetles misplaced in Stenichnus and Scydmoraphes (Coleoptera, Staphylinidae, Scydmaeninae).
Genera Stenichnus and Scydmoraphes are distributed in the Northern Hemisphere, with a few rather peculiar species described from South America. Type series of Stenichnus andicola Franz, Scydmoraphes venezolanus Franz and Scydmoraphes peruanus Franz were examined and the first of these species is transferred to Sciacharis Broun, while two new generic names are established to accommodate the two ...
متن کاملComparative morphology and taxonomy of Sciacharis s. str., Chathamaenus Franz and Maorinus Franz (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae: Scydmaeninae).
Sciacharis s. str. is redefined based on the morphology of its type species, S. fulva Broun, and compared with sympatric genera Chathamaenus Franz (endemic to New Zealand) and Maorinus Franz (known from New Zealand and Australia). As a result, Chathamaenus is placed as a junior synonym of Sciacharis s. str., and Maorinus, originally described as a subgenus of Euconnus Thomson (under a preoccupi...
متن کاملSynonymic notes on Palaearctic and Oriental Scydmaenus (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae: Scydmaeninae).
The last two years brought surprising descriptions and nomenclatural changes in the tribe Scydmaenini of the ant-like stone beetles. Makhan & Ezzatpanah (2011) established a new genus Roepnarainius, clearly based on a misinterpretation of morphological characters. Another curious taxonomic decision was the placement by Tronquet (2012) of Scydmaenus perrisi Reitter, 1882 as a junior synonym of S...
