A revision of the genus Baeocera in Japan, with a new genus of the tribe Scaphisomatini (Coleoptera, Staphylinidae, Scaphidiinae) Author Ogawa, Ryo Author Löbl, Ivan text Zootaxa 2013 3652 3 301 326 journal article 10.11646/zootaxa.3652.3.1 f2a1ffac-3ecb-4d9d-95b3-3e2dcf5698f5 1175-5326 223565 6D53F9E2-70BC-4B69-B2B2-8C268C39FF49 Baeocera Erichson, 1845 Baeocera Erichson, 1845: 4 . ( Type species: Baeocera falsata Achard, 1920 , see Löbl, 1977: 101, Melville, 1982 (Opinion 1221): 175). Cyparella Achard, 1924: 28 . ( Type species: Scaphisoma rufoguttatum Fairmaire, 1898 ). Synonymized by Löbl, 1987. Eubaeocera Cornell, 1967: 2 . ( Type species: Baeocera abdominalis Casey, 1900 ). Synonymized under Sciatrophes by Löbl, 1977. Sciatrophes Blackburn, 1903: 100 . ( Type species: Sciatrophes latens Blackburn, 1903 ). Synonymized by Löbl, 1978. Amaloceroschema (as subgenus of Baeocera ) Löbl, 1967: 1. ( Type species: Baeocera freudei Löbl, 1967 ). New synonymy . Diagnosis. Maxillary palpomere IV aciculate ( Fig. 37 ). Antennomeres III and IV elongate; VII to X asymmetrical. Mandible unidentate ( Fig. 36 ); mola with brush. Galea narrow (longer than wide); brush apical and paniculate ( Fig. 37 ). Surface of mentum setose ( Fig. 39 ). Anterior margin of pronotum with a bead ( Fig. 1 ). Hypomeron without fovea. Prothoracic corbiculum present ( Fig. 78 ). Mesocoxal lines present on metaventrite ( Fig. 1 ). Metendosternum with stem present. Secondary lines of mesoventrite absent. Abdominal ventrite I without metacoxal bead. Profemoral ctenidium present ( Fig. 79 ). Mesotibia with 2 ventral spines. Metacoxae separated. Empodium unisetose. Comments. The shape of the ovipositors is useful for both the definition of taxa and as an indication of relationships. Two types of spermatheca are found in examined Japanese species: a single one in the Baeocera curtula , B. abnormalis , and B. frater groups, and in Baeoceroxidium micros ( Figs. 58, 59 ), two in the Baeocera monstrosa and B. satana groups ( Figs. 60, 61 ). A patch of spines is present on the inner surface of elytra ( Fig. 82 ), and is assumed to be associated with wing folding (Nomura 1997).
