A new species of Physomerinus Jeannel (Coleoptera, Staphylinidae, Pselaphinae) from Jiulong National Wetland Park, China

“…Within Physomerinus several species may indeed form monophyletic subgroups by their shared male features. Physomerinus hasegawai Nomura, 1991 from China (Taiwan) and Japan (Ryukyu Islands) and P. clavipes Zhang & Yin, 2022 from China (Guangxi) are linked by the smoothly broadened lateral portions of maxillary palpomeres 4, and greatly swollen metafemora with a large lateral cavity ( Nomura 1991 , 2010 , 2012 , 2013 ; Zhang and Yin 2022 ).…”
