A new Mexican species of Oxyporus (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae: Oxyporinae)

The male of Oxyporus bautistae Márquez and Asiain, 2006 is described based on one specimen from San José del Pacíf-ico, southern Oaxaca, Mexico. Oxyporus bautistae shares with O. mexicanus Fauvel, 1865 the bicolored color pattern in legs (black and orange). The male of O. bautistae has six black spots on tergites and the female has only two black spots; but we cannot explain whether the number of black spots represents a sexual character or individual variation.Key words: Staphylinidae, Oxyporus, Mexico, taxonomy ResumenSe describe el macho de Oxyporus bautistae Márquez y Asiain, 2006 con base en el estudio de un espécimen procedente de San José del Pacífico, sur de Oaxaca, México. Oxyporus bautistae y O. mexicanus Fauvel, 1865 son las únicas dos especies mexicanas que comparten el patrón de coloración en las patas (negro y anaranjado). El macho de O. bautistae muestra seis manchas negras en los terguitos, y la hembra solo tiene dos manchas negras, pero desconocemos si la variación en el número de manchas abdominales es un carácter sexual o variación individual.
