Notes on identity of Cephennomicrus sumatranus (Franz) (Coleoptera, Staphylinidae, Scydmaeninae)

Abstract

As a result of examination of the holotype of Neseuthia sumatrana Franz, 1984 (subsequently placed in the genus Cephennomicrus), Lathomicrus gen. n. is established for this species (with Lathomicrus sumatranus comb. n. as the type species). The single male paratype included in the type series of N. sumatrana was found to have been misidentified, and is fixed as the holotype of a newly described C. fesumatranus sp. n. from Babahrot, Sumatra (Indonesia). Diagnostic characters including the aedeagi of both treated species are illustrated. A key to the Old World genera of Cephenniini is provided.
