Notes on the systematic placement of Eutheia siamensis Franz (Coleoptera, Staphylinidae, Scydmaeninae) Author Jałoszyński, Paweł text Zootaxa 2015 4021 3 493 498 journal article 10.11646/zootaxa.4021.3.10 03eedc14-3d28-477d-a85e-7ce70cff17ed 1175-5326 236339 5A548CC1-FDDC-487A-8615-AB26129A556C Paratype of Eutheia siamensis Franz The paratype specimen was mounted in such a position that it resembled the holotype , especially that the body length and the antennae are similar to those of the holotype . After relaxing, cleaning and remounting ( Fig. 7 ), however, it became clear that this is not a Cephennomicrus , but a member of Eutheiini . Because of the very small body it was difficult to identify the genus, but the low-pressure-SEM examination of an uncoated specimen revealed characters typical of Paraneseuthia ( Figs 8–9 ): three-segmented maxillary palps; long prementum; head capsule lacking occipital constriction; inner part of prothoracic hypomera very narrow; prosternal process feebly developed, narrow and not separating procoxae; fully demarcated mesanepisterna and mesepimera; moderately broad and flat mesoventral intercoxal process narrowing anteriorly and in its anterior part strongly elevated; and area separating metacoxae much broader than intermesocoxal region. The strongly elongate and flattened body form of this specimen is a feature rarely found among Paraneseuthia , but this genus is most morphologically diverse among Eutheiini , and similarly small and slender species are known from Australia ( Jałoszyński 2011c , 2013 ); also an undescribed species from the Japanese subtropical Sakishima Archipelago (mentioned by Jałoszyński 2011c ) shows similar features.
