Types and further material of the Western Palaearctic species of Othius Stephens - exclusive of the species endemic to the Atlantic Islands - from various museum and private collections are revised. 24 valid species and two subspecies are recognized. Four new species are described: Othius wunderlei n. sp. from southwestern Spain, Othius permutatus n. sp. from the Carpathians, Orthius serratus n. sp. and Orthius solodovnikovi n. sp., both from the Caucasus. 130 pp., 31 figs, 7 maps, br. gr. 8.…

Currently including more than 380,000 species, beetles are by far the most speciose of all organism orders and represent nearly one fourth of our planet _s known biodiversity. With a total of ~66,000 described extant species, rove beetles (Staphylinidae) are probably the most biodiverse family not only of beetles, but of all organisms on Earth, and hundreds of new species are added every year. Staphylinidae are distributed worldwide and ecologically remarkably diverse. They are found in practically all terrestrial habitats from wet to arid, from sea-level to high-alpine, and from deep soil to the canopy layer of forests. Numerous species are inquilines living with ants, termites, wasps, mammals, and birds or inhabitants of mushrooms and various kinds of decaying matter such as compost, dead wood, carrion, and animal excrements. Despite the important role of rove beetles in practically all terrestrial ecosystems, relatively little is known about their life histories and ecology. Comprising a total of nearly 7,500 described extant species, Paederinae are among the largest of the 35 subfamilies of Staphylinidae. The Pinophilini, one of the three tribes of Paederinae, are represented by two subtribes, Procirrina (770 species) and Pinophilina (approx. 480 species prior to the present revision). The present monograph provides the first comprehensive systematic and taxonomic review of the Pinophilina fauna of the Palaearctic and Oriental Regions, including New Guinea. The subtribe was previously represented in these regions by only 78 valid species and one subspecies in seven genera, with 68 (87 %) of the species in the nominal genus Pinophilus Gravenhorst, 1802. After a revision of the accessible type material and of thousands of additional specimens from the major public and private collections, the Pinophilina fauna of these regions is now composed of as many as 309 named species in 16 genera, with none of the previously described species remaining in Pinophilus. Eleven genera and 241 species are described for the first time, five names are revalidated, one genus-group and 17 species-group names are synonymised, 104 new combinations are proposed, and numerous species groups are established. One neotype and 38 lectotypes designated. A comprehensive catalogue and keys to the genera and species of the study region are provided. All the taxa are described or redescribed, illustrated, and their distributions are mapped. In an appendix, several genera and species from other zoogeographic regions are treated, including one new genus and four newly described species. Brno. Moravian Museum. 419 pp., 1402 photos of beetles and their genitalia, 55 maps, br. 4.…

Based on a revision of approx. 6,700 specimens, including the available type material, from 40 public and private collections, 53 valid extant species of the lathrobiine genus Achenium Leach are recognized; one species is represented by two subspecies. Four species are described for the first time: Achenium kazakhicum n. sp. (Kazakhstan), A. vitalyi n. sp. (Kazakhstan), A. transversiceps n. sp. (Morocco), and A. tectum n. sp. (Morocco). 190 pp., 471 figs, br. gr. 8. …

A synopsis of adventive species of Staphylinidae (Coleoptera) in Canada is provided. Of the over 1654 rove beetle species recorded from Canada, 156 species in 76 genera and 13 subfamilies are reported as adventive, constituting about 9.4% of the fauna. The majority of adventive species belong to two subfamilies, Staphylininae (51 species) and Aleocharinae (49), and the genera with the most species are Philonthus (16), Atheta (8), Aleochara (7) and Quedius (7). All 156 adventive species are reviewed, including diagnostic features (supported by 156 colour habitus photos and 230 black and white images of diagnostic characters), native range, detailed distribution in Canada (with 151 distribution maps), general distribution in the USA, early Canadian and North American records and habitat information. New jurisdictional records are Atheta longicornis (Gravenhorst) from Alberta, Philonthus sanguinolentus (Gravenhorst) from eastern Canada (Ontario) and Xantholinus longiventris Heer from Canada (British Columbia). 360 pp., 386 figs, 151 distribution maps, hardcover gr. 8 [17 x 24 cm].…

Mit mehr als 2200 Arten und Unterarten, d.h. knapp einem Viertel aller aus Mitteleuropa nachgewiesenen K?ferarten, sind die Staphylinidae die mit Abstand gr??te mitteleurop?ische K?ferfamilie. Sie besiedeln fast alle terrestrischen und semiaquatischen Habitate und geh?ren h?ufig zu den im Naturschutz und in ?kologischen Studien bearbeiteten K?fern. Zahlreiche der sich vorwiegend r?uberisch ern?hrenden Arten besitzen gro?e Bedeutung im biologischen Pflanzenschutz. Die vorliegende Neubearbeitung des in erster Auflage 1964 erschienenen, mittlerweile vergriffenen und in vieler Hinsicht nicht mehr aktuellen Bandes 4 (Staphylinidae I), vorgenommen von einem internationalen Team erfahrener Spezialisten, gibt eine ?bersicht ?ber den derzeitigen Stand der Taxonomie der Familie und stellt alle zur sicheren Determination notwendigen Merkmale in Form v?llig neu erstellter Bestimmungstabellen zusammen. Neben deutlich zahlreicheren und verbesserten Detailabbildungen in den Tabellen werden erstmals Habitusfotos - im Internet auch in Farbe - f?r alle in Mitteleuropa vorkommenden Gattungen publiziert. Erg?nzt werden die Tabellen durch aktualisierte Informationen zur Verbreitung und Lebensweise der Arten. Von den insgesamt 24 in Mitteleuropa vertretenen Unterfamilien behandelt der Band alle bis auf die Aleocharinae und Pselaphinae (Band 5) sowie die erst k?rzlich zu den Staphyliniden gestellten Scydmaeninae (Band 3).
