Revision of the Genus Ecitopora with Descriptions of New Species (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae)

摘要

The genus Ecitopora is revised and expanded. Previously described species are re-described and new locality and host records provided for many of them. New species described are: Ecitopora braziliensis from Para,, Brazil; E. degallieri also from Para,Brazil; E. minuta from Panama; E. planodisca from Costa Rica; and E. rettenmeyeri from Panama and Costa Rica. The capture data include two new hosts, Eciton lucanoides conquistador and E. rapax. Numerous data indicate that this genus is not primarily adapted to the army ant social life but is adapted to the debris piles adjacent to or beneath the bivouacs. A key to species is provided.
