On the Stenus LATREILLE 1797 from Taiwan with non-spotted elytra (Coleoptera, Staphylinidae) (327 Contribution to the Knowledge of Steninae) Author Puthz, V. text Linzer biologische Beiträge 2012 2012-12-28 44 2 1431 1475 journal article 269966 10.5281/zenodo.5337424 7c26f212-ab38-4e92-b461-cdb7dc073af5 0253-116X 5337424 Stenus permodestus nov.sp. ( Figs 33 , 72 ) Type material: Holotype () and 5, 3 - paratypes : Taiwan : Nantou Hsien : Houhuanshan , Kuenyang , 3050m , 4.V.1991 , A. Smetana (T 63) . Paratypes : 3, 5: ibidem, idem (T 64) ; 4, 3: ibidem, 13.V.1995 , idem (T 179).- HT and PTT in coll. Smetana (Ottawa), PTT also in cN and in cP . Description: About as in S. persubtilis nov.sp. Length: 2.7-3.2mm (forebody: 1.4-1.6mm ). PM of the HT: HW: 30; DE; 16; PW: 22; PL: 22; EW: 26.5; EL: 23.5; SL: 18. Male: Metasternum shallowly impressed, moderately coarsely and moderately densely punctate, interstices mostly larger than half diameter of punctures. Anterior sternites simple, sternite 7 finer and denser punctate and pubescent medially than laterally. Sternite 8 with a broad and shallow apical emargination (LS: ED= 51:3). Sternite 9 with comparatively short, blackish apicolateral teeth. Aedeagus (fig. 33), apex of median lobe pointed, expulsion clasp broad; parameres as long as median lobe, with 8-9 apical setae. Female: Sternite 8 at posterior margin feebly and roundly projecting. Valvifer with a short apicolateral tooth. Spermatheca (fig. 72), infundibulum slender, about 3x as long as broad. Median portion of frons distinctly exceeding the level of medial eye margins; pronotum and elytra with deep impressions; abdominal punctation dense, interstices on tergite 7 distinctly smaller than punctures. Comparative notes: This new species may be distinguished from S. perversor nov.sp. , which has been found in about the same area, by the shape of the spermatheca with a relatively slender infundibulum, and by the aedeagus with a more pointed median lobe, from all other close relatives also by the sexual characters. Etymology: Since this species has no exceptional characters I name it " permodestus " (Lat.= very modest).
