Notes on some Western Palaearctic Xantholinini (Coleoptera, Staphylinidae). 181° contribution to the knowledge of the Staphylinidae

Abstract

Milichilinus Reitter, 1908, described as a subgenus of Xantholinus Dejean, 1821, is elevated to the status of genus on the basis of some external characters and an aedeagus with large parameres. The genus currently includes Milichilinus decorus (Erichson, 1839), comb. nov., and Milichilinus meybohmi (Assing, 2006), comb. nov. Lepidophallus denticulatus Bordoni, 2004 is recorded as new from Bulgaria. The following replacement names are proposed: Echdysia, nom. nov., Edulia, nom. nov., Emathidis, nom. nov. for the preoccupied Elgonia Bordoni, 2001, Lepta Bordoni, 2002 and Cibyra Bordoni, 2002, respectively. The holotype of Lepidophallus bicatellatus Bordoni, 2005 is preserved in Schülke collection in Berlin.
