Two Lomechusini (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae: Aleocharinae) species new to Bulgaria
Journal Title: ZooNotes - Year 2014, Vol 66, Issue 0
Abstract
First records of the myrmecophilous species Lomechusoides strumosus Fabricius, 1793 and Lomechusa paradoxa Gravenhorst, 1806 are reported for Bulgaria. Lomechusoides strumosus is the only member of the genus in Bulgaria while Lomechusa paradoxa joins L. emarginata (Paykull, 1789) as the second member of the genus Lomechusa. Both beetle species were found in nests of Formica ants.
