On Zyras sensu strictu in the East Palaearctic and Oriental regions, with a focus on the faunas of the Himalaya, India, Sri Lanka, Thailand, and Sulawesi (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae: Aleocharinae: Lomechusini) Author Assing, Volker text Beiträge Zur Entomologie = Contributions to Entomology 2017 2017-06-30 67 1 117 192 journal article 2472 10.21248/contrib.entomol.67.1.117-192 39f2d8c0-d0e4-46ea-8d5d-63e668fe9e43 0005-805X 5742363 FD33C1AE-F7D9-4E3A-A053-A2CAA7261CFE Zyras ? ferrugineus CAMERON, 1939 Zyras ( Zyras ) ferrugineus CAMERON, 1939a: 541 . Type material examined : Holotype ♀ ? [in poor condition; right elytron missing]: “Holotype / 64521 / Doberty / Birmah , RubyMes’’ / Fry Coll. 1905.100. / Z. ferrugineus Cam. Type / Holotype Zyras ferrugineus Cam. , det. R.G. Booth 2016” ( BMNH ). Comment : The original description is based on a unique male from “ Burma : Ruby Mines” ( CAMERON 1939a ). Cameron´s original subgeneric assignment was adopted also by HLAVÁČ et al. (2011) . An examination of the holotype , however, revealed that the specimen certainly does not belong to Zyras sensu strictu. In fact, based on external characters (antennal morphology, conspicuously slender maxillary palpi, punctation of the abdomen), the generic assignment is doubtful, too.
