New species and records of the genus Geodromicus Redtenbacher, 1857 (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae: Omaliinae) from Taiwan Author Smetana, Aleš text Zootaxa 2016 4066 5 591 599 journal article 51163 10.11646/zootaxa.4066.5.7 10a50e95-023c-4d71-bf69-70071162f79e 1175-5326 266479 4D6292DE-EE09-45FE-971C-B3408DC751CD Geodromicus ohkurai ( Hayashi, 1992 ) Psephidonus ohkurai Hayashi, 1992 : 107 Psephidonus ohkurai yushanensis Hayashi, 1992 : 110 syn. nov. Material. 1 ♀: TAIWAN , Kaohsiung Hsien, Crk. 4 km E Yakou, 2600 m . 23.VII.1993 . A. Smetana [T162: Original mixed forest; specimen taken by sifting of wet moss from large rocks directly in a creek] (cSm). Remarks. Geodromicus ohkurai was split by the author in two subspecies, both from central Taiwan : “Mt. Houfuan, Nantou Hsien” ( G . ohkurai ohkurai ) and from “Mt. Yushan, Chiai Hsien” ( G . ohkurai yushanensis ). The subspecies G . ohkurai yushanensis , based on teneral specimens, was established solely on differences in the shape of the pronotum (see Hayashi 1992 : 110 for details). These differences fall within intraspecific variability, as documented by the presence of the same variability in the shape of pronotum in many species of G eodromicus (e.g., see Shavrin 2015 ). Therefore, based on the above information, G. ohkurai yushanensis is put in synonymy with G. ohkurai ( syn. nov. ).
