New taxonomic and nomenclatural acts in Cephenniini (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae: Scydmaeninae)

Abstract

Status of some species and names in Cephenniini is clarified. Cephennium ovatum Nietner is transferred to Cephennodes resulting in Cephennodes (incertae sedis) ovatus comb. n.; Cephennodes zwaluwenburgi Zimmerman is placed in the nominotypical subgenus; Cephennium felicitas Scott is transferred to Pomphopsilla Jałoszyński, resulting in Pomphopsilla felicitas comb. n.; Pseudocephennium maximum Jałoszyński is placed as a junior synonym of Pseudocephennium integricolle Reitter; and Cephennomicrus ignarus nom. n. is proposed as a replacement name for the preoccupied Cephennomicrus impressus Jałoszyński.
