This paper describes and illustrates two new species of the genus Tetradonia Wasmann, 1894 (Staphylinidae: Aleocharinae), discovered in the Eastern Andes of Colombia: T. vonbeerensis Gualdrón-Diaz & Chani-Posse sp. n. and T. ramirezi Gualdrón-Diaz & Chani-Posse sp. n. This report marks the first documented presence of the genus in Colombia. Furthermore, our findings contribute to an increased understanding of Neotropical Tetradonia species, bringing the total known species count to forty-one.

Host-symbiont interactions are embedded in ecological communities and range from unspecific to highly specific relationships. Army ants and their arthropod guests represent a fascinating example of species-rich host-symbiont associations where host specificity ranges across the entire generalist - specialist continuum. In the present study, we compared the behavioral and chemical integration mechanisms of two extremes of the generalist - specialist continuum: generalist ant-predators in the genus (Staphylinidae: Aleocharinae: Athetini), and specialist ant-mimics in the genera and (Staphylinidae: Aleocharinae: Ecitocharini).

Army ant colonies host a diverse community of arthropod symbionts. Among the best-studied symbiont communities are those of Neotropical army ants of the genus Eciton. It is clear, however, that even in these comparatively well studied systems, a large proportion of symbiont biodiversity remains unknown.
