Aleocharine beetles are among the most poorly known and
difficult-to-identify groups of Coleoptera worldwide. This book
presents the first comprehensive synopsis of aleocharine rove
beetle species (Coleoptera, Staphylinidae) from British Columbia,
Canada. It is important to generate a structured inventory of
species in hotspots of biodiversity like British Columbia, to
provide baseline biodiversity data for monitoring species responses
related to climate change. It is the first book to treat and
illustrate every recorded and new species. For every species, color
illustrations are provided, including color habitus and genital
diagnostic structures of both sexes. Two hundred and twenty-seven
valid species, including 14 new species, 16 new generic records,
and 36 (excluding new species) new provincial and 6 state records,
in 79 genera and 14 tribes.Tribes and subtribes are arranged in
phylogenetic order as it is currently recognized, and genera and
subgenera are listed alphabetically within each tribe or subtribe.
Species are listed alphabetically or in species groups to better
reflect their relationships. Species distribution is listed by
provinces and territories in Canada and states in the United
States, and the geographic origin of each species is categorized as
native, Holarctic, adventive or undetermined (either adventive or
Holarctic). Every species is presented with a morphological
diagnosis including external and genital characters of both sexes.
Collection and habitat data are presented for each species,
including collecting period, and collecting methods. A list of all
Canadian species with their currently known distribution in North
America is presented at the end of the book.
