Ordo: Coleoptera
Familia: Staphylinidae
Genus: Mocyta
Name
Mocyta luteola (Erichson) – Wikispecies link – Pensoft Profile
- Homalota luteola Erichson 1839[1]: 114. As Mocyta: Klimaszewski et al. 2015c[2]: 124.
Diagnosis
This species may be distinguishable from other Mocyta species by its bicoloured body, dark brown head and posterior part of pronotum contrasting with reddish-brown or yellowish-brown pronotum, elytra, base of abdomen and appendages (Fig. 84), the strong microsculpture of the forebody, and the shape of the median lobe of the aedeagus (Fig. 85). The shape of the spermatheca (Figs 90–92) is similar to that of Mocyta fungi (Gravenhorst). For a more detailed description, see Klimaszewski et al. (2015c)[2].

Bionomics
In Newfoundland, one female was captured in a pitfall trap in a boreal conifer forest. Most adults from Quebec were collected in yellow birch- and balsam fir-dominated forest using pitfall traps (Klimaszewski et al. 2007[7]). In New Brunswick, adults were found: under decaying seaweed on a coastal beach; under driftwood on a riverbank; in grass, moss and leaf litter near water and in alder and cedar swamps and Carex marshes; in Sphagnum moss and leaf litter in a young regenerating mixedwood forest; and in other decaying material in forests. In Ontario, adults were captured in litter around raspberry near a bog, in a Typha marsh, and in a nest of Microtus pennsylvanicus (Klimaszewski et al. 2015c[2]). Adults were active from March to October in Canada. In Minnesota, adults were captured on a lakeshore and in a Microtus nest, and in Indiana were taken by sifting dump vegetable debris from March to November (Blatchley 1910[4]).
Comments
This species is probably more widely distributed in Newfoundland than the single record suggests.
