Supplement to the knowledge of the Scaphidiinae (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae) of the Moluccas Author Löbl, Ivan text Revue suisse de Zoologie 2022 2022-03-31 129 1 103 118 journal article 55978 10.35929/RSZ.0064 439e5b25-eb8c-4ffc-a7d3-0670028558d4 0035-418 6461022 Baeocera sp. B Material examined: MHNG ; 1 female ; MALUC : Kai Besar Island , G. Dab , leaf litter , 400 m , 5.IX.1981 , D. Agosti , F911046 . Remarks: This is the second Moluccan species of Baeocera remaining unnamed, in absence of at least one male specimen (see “ Baeocera sp. A ” in Löbl, 2015a ). It is similar to the Papuan B. curta Löbl, 2002 , differs by the less arcuate suture of the metanepisterna and the ventrite I lacking basal striae. Thus, it may be an undescribed species. Baeocera curta has a complex aedeagus providing reliable specific characters which are quite unlike those of members of the Baeocera lenta group and of B. agostii . The specimen has slightly prominent apical inner apical angles of the elytra, a character noted for the first time in Baeocera . It may be sexual, as it is in some species of Scaphisoma Leach.
