“…5e ). The new genus superficially resembles some species of the Neotropical Lathrobiini genera Attaxenus Wasmann, 1925, Paederopsis Wasmann, 1912 or especially Dacnochilus LeConte, 1861, which presumably belong to the recently discovered Pseudolathra -Cylindroxystina lineage (Żyła et al 2021 ) . Within Dacnochilus , a widespread Neotropical genus that occasionally occurs in nests of termites and ants, Ruptor especially resembles D. atrus Jiménez-Sánchez & Galián, 2013 [correct masculine form of the species name should be ater ], D. compactus (Casey, 1905), D. horridulus (Casey, 1905), D. nahuiollinae Jiménez-Sánchez & Galián, 2013, D. newtoni Jiménez-Sánchez & Galián, 2013, or D. zaragozae Jiménez-Sánchez & Galián, 2013.…”

“…The extract was stored in a – 20 °C freezer for the period of the project, while the physical voucher (holotype) was pinned on a card mount with glycerin filled microvial for the genital segments and aedeagus which is deposited at MHN-UNMSM. We used the same protocols as in Żyła et al ( 2021 ) for amplification, sequencing, sequence editing and assembly. Polymerase chain reactions were performed in 25 μL reactions.…”

“…Paederinae is one of the most diverse and abundant subfamilies of the family Staphylinidae (rove beetles), comprising more than 220 genera and 7600 species (Żyła et al 2021 ). It is a globally distributed subfamily, well represented in higher latitudes but much more diverse in the tropics.…”

“…The objective of this paper is to describe a new genus and species of Paederinae rove beetles. Given the emerging backbone phylogeny of Paederinae based on total-evidence data (Żyła et al 2019 , 2021 ), as well as the availability of the DNA-grade material for this newly collected species, we decided to conduct a phylogenetic analysis to determine the lineage where this new taxon belongs and complement its taxonomic treatment.…”

We describe a new genus and species of Paederinae rove beetles, Ruptor cordatus gen. et sp. nov., which lives in the arboreal nests of the termite Labiotermes labralis (Holmgren, 1906) in the Amazon lowlands of Peru. The morphology of Ruptor gen. nov. is highly derived, apparently due to its close association with the termite host, and thus, morphologically, the genus cannot be classified further than Lathrobiini incertae sedis. In order to address the sister-group relationships of Ruptor gen. nov., we conducted a molecular phylogenetic analysis based on seven gene fragments. The analysis indeed resolved the genus as a member of the tribe Lathrobiini and placed it nested within the informal clade of ‘Medonina and allied taxa’. We provide a morphological comparison of the new genus with all known myrmeco- and termitophilous representatives of the subfamily, and to the extent possible, we illustrate other relevant and poorly known Neotropical Paederinae inquilines.
