Taxonomy of 'Euconnus complex'. Part XXI. Status of subgenus Microconnus Franz (Coleoptera, Staphylinidae, Scydmaeninae)

摘要

Microconnus Franz, previously treated as a subgenus of Euconnus Thomson, is placed as a subgenus of Napoconnus Franz. Morphological structures of all species included in Microconnus are reviewed and illustrated, and Euconnus canaimanus Franz, Euconnus conulus Franz. and Euconnus janauari O'Keefe are placed as members of Napoconnus (Microconnus), while Euconnus (Microconnus) fulgurans Franz is placed in Euconnus (incertae sedis) (near Napochus Thomson). Emended diagnosis of Napoconnus and a key to identify its subgenera are given.
