Ordo: Coleoptera
Familia: Staphylinidae
Genus: Bolitogyrus
Name
Bolitogyrus loculus Cai et al., 2015 – Wikispecies link – Pensoft Profile
- Bolitogyrus loculus Cai et al., 2015: 460.
Type locality
Menglun Nature Reserve, Xishuangbanna, Yunnan, China.
Type material
The type series of this recently described, and well-illustrated species was not examined (Cai et al. 2015[1]).
Diagnosis
This species may be recognized by the following: head entirely dark; pronotum widest in posterior third; elytra partly dark, discal markings of elytra extending onto epipleuron, not forming v-shape, forming broadly pale basal area composed entirely of yellow raised marking (similar to Fig. 6C); paramere strongly constricted apically (Fig. 16E); female tergite VIII with narrow emargination (Fig. 7A).
Distribution
Figure 22B. Known only from the type locality in southern Yunnan, China.
Bionomics
The type series was collected in February at elevations ranging from 560-860 m.
Comments
Bolitogyrus loculus is externally similar to B. flavus, especially to morphs of the latter with the minimum extent of pale coloration on the elytra (Fig. 6C). However, B. loculus can be recognized by the sparsely punctate sutural area of the elytra and the entirely darkened apex of the hind femur.
