Notes on the genus Rugilus Leach, 1819 in the Palearctic Region (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae: Paederinae)

Abstract

The genus Rugilus Leach, 1819 represented by 95 species in the Palearctic Region. New and additional records are provided for 16 species of the genus Rugilus from different countries of the Region. The studied material has been collected between 1907-2016 and contained types and additional specimens in the Eurepean museums and private collections. Among them eight species are new country records: Azerbaijan (1), Bulgaria (2), Czech Republic (1), Iran (2), Iraq (1) Kazakhstan (1) and Syria (1). Besides, the doubtful species Rugilus couloni (Drugmand, 1989) is redescribed and illustrated. A distributional checklist is presented for 10 Turkish Rugilus species.
