Aleochara (Ceranota) ruficornis GRAVENHORST 1802

C o m m e n t: The indication of this species from Spain in the key and the catalogue of a recent revision of the subgenus Ceranota STEPHENS 1839 ( ASSING 2009) is based on an error. Confirmed records of A. ruficornis from Spain are unknown.

Acknowledgements

I am most grateful to the colleagues mentioned in the material section for the loan of material, in particular also to José Luis Lencina (Jumilla) for the gift of Staphylinidae collected mostly with flight interception traps in Spain and to Alexey Shavrin for the generous permission to retain the holotype of Astenus shavrini . Jürgen Vogel (Görlitz) helped with the identification of Atheta orcina and A. lindbergiella, Marc Tronquet (Molitg-les-Bains) with that of Aleochara rudella . Raimundo Outerelo (Madrid) made me aware of the erroneous record of Aleochara ruficornis from Spain. Benedikt Feldmann (Münster) proof-read an earlier version of the manuscript.

Zusammenfassung

Astenus (Eurysunius) shavrini nov.sp. ( Spanien: Andalusien), Oxypoda (Deropoda) lencinai nov. sp. ( Spanien: Murcia), Oxypoda ( Sphenoma ?) defossa nov.sp. ( Spanien: Andalusien), und Cousya deminuta nov.sp. ( Spanien: Murcia) werden beschrieben und abgebildet. Für Quedius aetolicus KRAATZ 1858 wird ein Lectotypus designiert; die primären und sekundären männlichen Geschlechtsmerkmale werden abgebildet. Atheta oxypodoides BRUNDIN 1952 und Homalota pellucida FAUVEL 1878 werden in die Gattung Acrotona THOMSON 1859 zurückversetzt (bisher Paradilacra BERNHAUER 1909 ). Für 43 Staphyliniden-Arten werden weitere Nachweise aus Spanien (ohne die Kanarischen Inseln) gemeldet, darunter zwölf Erstnachweise; das bisher zweifelhafte Vorkommen von drei Arten wird bestätigt. Von sieben Arten werden darüber hinaus Erstnachweise für Frankreich, Portugal, Marokko und Aserbaidschan gemeldet.
