Rediscovery and redescription of Scaphisoma nigrofasciatum Pic (Coleoptera: Staphylindae: Scaphidiinae): a remarkable new record from a distant continent.

Scaphisoma nigrofasciatum Pic is a shining fungus beetle whose distribution was recorded from the Asian continent and three insular African countries. This paper presents a new record of this species from Brazil. In this paper, photographs of specimens from both Brazil and Asia are provided, accompanied by a brief new redescription.

Solving an old dilemma: are the two sympatric species Lema apicalis and L. reticulosa (Coleoptera, Chrysomelidae, Criocerinae) morphotypes of a single species?

Two species of Lema (Quasilema), L. apicalis Lacordaire, 1845 and L. reticulosa Clark, 1866 are compared and found to be identical based on morphology and behaviour, although they exhibit different colour patterns (Lema (subgenus Quasilema) apicalis Lacordaire, 1845 = Lema (Quasilema) reticulosa Clark, 1866 new synonym).

A simple, low-cost device for collecting mushroom-dwelling Scaphidiinae (Coleoptera, Staphylinidae).

The shining fungus beetles (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae: Scaphidiinae) comprise more than 1800 described species, which are usually small (≅0.8414.30 mm long) (Tang et al.

Scaphisoma pandemum sp. nov. (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae: Scaphidiinae) from the Atlantic Forest of Southeast Brazil.

Scaphidiinae (Coleoptera, Staphylinidae) comprises more than 1800 described species in 46 genera. With 766 described species and subspecies, Scaphisoma Leach is the most diverse genus of this subfamily and is distributed almost worldwide. A total of 38 species are recorded from the Neotropical region and only six are known from Brazil.
