Notes on the genus Xantholinus Dejean, 1821 (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae, Staphylininae, Xantholinini) from the western Palearctic Region

Abstract

The genus Xantholinus Dejean, 1821 (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae, Staphylininae, Xantholinini) contains 105 species in the western Palearctic region. In the present study, new and additional distribution data for 22 species of the genus Xantholinus are reported from various countries of the western Palearctic Region. The material examined was collected between 1898 and 2017; and contained types and additional specimens mostly in European museums. Among them, five species are the first countryrecords: Azerbaijan (1), Armenia (1), Bosnia Herzegovina (1), Iraq (2), Jordan (1) and Macedonia (2). The original specimens of Xantholinus araxis Reitter, 1898 have been studied, the lectotype designated, the species redescribed and illustrated. Besides, the type specimens of Xantholinus phenicius Coiffait, 1971 (syn of Xantholinus rufipennis Erichson, 1839), Xantholinus kirschenblati Bordoni, 1975, Xantholinus fageli Coiffait, 1971 and Xantholinus gridellii carius Coiffait, 1972 (syn of Xantholinus varnensis Coiffait, 1972) are illustrated.
