F07DFF366733FFABFF25F0C6FDE88E3E.taxon	diagnosis	Differential diagnosis: This new species may be readily distinguished from its Chinese congeners by the body coarsely punctate in combination with the shortened sutural striae of the elytra. The puncture pattern on the median area of the metaventrite and the shape of the sclerotized structures of the internal sac are unique. The new species is similar to the Himalayan B. puncticollis LÖBL, thought its lacks hypomeral punctation and has significantly larger submesocoxal areas. Baeocera karenovicsi shares the fused metanepisterna, the small body-size, the puncture-pattern, and the internal sac bearing proximal compact sclerites with the members of the B. lenta and B. ceylonense groups (see LÖBL 1971, 1992) but lacks the long ejaculatory duct to part extruded in reposing position, which is a presumed synapomorphy of these two groups. In addition, the internal sac of the new species lacks a proximal tuft of spines which is an autapomorphy of the B. ceylonensis group.	en	Löbl, Ivan (2018): Supplement to the knowledge of the genera Baeocera ERICHSON, 1845 and Scaphobaeocera CSIKI, 1909 (Coleoptera, Staphylinidae, Scaphidiinae) of the People’s Republic of China.

F07DFF366730FFAAFF25F004FC188DF8.taxon	diagnosis	Female characters: Gonocoxite and gonostyle as Fig. 13. Differential diagnosis: This species is very similar to B. karenovicsi, particularly by the shape of the body, the elytra all over coarsely and densely punctate and with shortened sutural striae, and the metanepisterna fused. It may be readily distinguished by the very finely punctate pronotum, the narrower antennomeres VII and VIII, the metaventrite entirely or almost entirely coarsely punctate, the ventrite 1 entirely densely punctate, and the ventrite 2 bearing a coarse puncture row. The genital characters suggest relationship to S. karenovicsi, significant specific characters are the shape of the basal part of the parameres (seen in lateral view) and that of the sclerotized complex of the internal sac.	en	Löbl, Ivan (2018): Supplement to the knowledge of the genera Baeocera ERICHSON, 1845 and Scaphobaeocera CSIKI, 1909 (Coleoptera, Staphylinidae, Scaphidiinae) of the People’s Republic of China.

F07DFF366731FFAAFF25F04EFC008A39.taxon	diagnosis	Differential diagnosis: This new species is a member of the B. lenta group. Its aedeagus is similar to that of B. longicornis (LÖBL, 1971), B. keralensis LÖBL, 1979 and B. rufula (LÖBL, 1973). The new species may be readily distinguished from them by the coarsely punctate ventrite 1, and from B. longicornis and B. rufula by the basal striae of elytra not joined with the lateral striae. It also differs drastically from B. rufula by the larger body and the entire elytra coarsely punctate.	en	Löbl, Ivan (2018): Supplement to the knowledge of the genera Baeocera ERICHSON, 1845 and Scaphobaeocera CSIKI, 1909 (Coleoptera, Staphylinidae, Scaphidiinae) of the People’s Republic of China.
