Glotov S. The rove beetles of the tribe Aleocharinae (Coleoptera, Staphylinidae) in the South East of Ukraine (fauna, morphology, taxonomy)

The subfamily Aleocharinae is represented in the fauna of the studied region by 157 of 40 genera belonging to 13 tribes. Of them, 148 species of 40 genera are recorded here for the first time, among them 20 species of 11 genera (Aleochara roubali, Atheta aquatica, A. aquatilis, A. ermischi, A. ravilla, A. macrocera, A. marcida, A. ganglbaueri, A. excisa, A. subtilis, Brundinia marina, Philhygra parca, P. volans, Alevonota rufotestacea, Gyrophaena pseudonana, Pella similis, Calodera cochlearis, Ocalea latipennis, Oxypoda longipes, O. nigricornis, O. vittata, O. vicina, Gnypeta brinki) are recorded for the fist time from Ukraine, additional 3 species were recorded for the first time from Ukraine by the author from other parts of the country. Distribution of the species among main natural and anthropogenic habitats and microhabitats in the South East of Ukraine, including most of protected areas (nature reserves, national parks, regional landscape parks, etc.) is analyzed. Comprehensive keys to species, genera and tribes of the Aleocharinae occurring in the South East of Ukraine are provided involving new data on morphology of some genital characters along with annotated list and compilation of all the published data.
