DC314000457DFFA6FF75FA5FFB7E8E48.taxon	discussion	The below checklist summarizes the results of the field trip conducted in Corfu in May and June, 2017. In the localities column, the number of specimens (all leg. Assing & Schülke) is given in parentheses behind the locality number. Previous literature records are mostly scattered in articles without specific focus on the fauna of Corfu and consequently bound to be incomplete. Literature records that are at least likely to be based on misidentification, old records of species that are reliably identified only based on an examination of the primary sexual characters, or records that are doubful for other reasons are discarded and omitted. For Steninae such omissions are based on PUTHZ (pers. comm.). Secondary catalogue records or general records provided in keys are included only when primary records were not found.	en	Assing, Volker, Schülke, Michael, Brachat, Volker, Meybohm, Heinrich (2018): On the Staphylinidae of the Greek island Corfu (Insecta: Coleoptera).

Footnotes: 1) Many thousand specimens seen, approximately a thousand specimens collected. 2) Doubtful record, based on the type locality of Thiasophila brunnicornis JEKEL, 1873, now a junior synonym of T. angulata (ERICHSON, 1837). 3) Autalia longula JEKEL, 1873 (type locality: “ Corfou ”) is currently listed as a junior synonym of A. impressa (OLIVIER, 1795). However, the type material has not been subject to a modern revision and may be conspecific with A. longicornis SCHEERPELTZ, 1947. 4) The record of Atheta laticeps (THOMSON, 1856) probably refers to this species. 5) Holotype of Ocalea badia splendida J. SAHLBERG, 1903 (today a synonym of O. badia). 6) Record possibly referring to T. winkleri. 7) Recorded from Corfu without providing a primary record. 8) According to PUTHZ (pers. comm.), the populations from Corfu belong to the nominal subspecies, not to Stenus brunnipes lepidus WEISE, 1875. 9) The record of Stenus impressus GERMAR, 1824 in Sa 03 most likely refers to S. aceris. 10) According to PUTHZ (pers. comm.), the record of S. humilis ERICHSON, 1839 in Sa 03 refers to S. cephallenicus. 11) SAHLBERG (1903) recorded Stenus picipennis ERICHSON, 1840 from Corfu, but does not mention S. picipes. PUTHZ (pers. comm.) has not seen any reference material of S. picipennis from Corfu. Instead, there are several confirmed records of S. picipes (see additional records in this paper), one of them collected by Sahlberg. It can be inferred, therefore, that SAHLBERG (1903) meant S. picipes and that his mentioning S. picipennis instead is a lapsus calami. 12) Cited as S. misael fiorii BONDROIT, 1912 (synonym). 13) Previous records of Euconnus motschulskii (MOTSCHULSKY, 1837) most likely refer to E. brachati. 14) Meybohm has seen this species only from the Pelopónnisos, but its presence in Corfu is possible. 15) Previous records of Stenichnus pusillus pusillus (MÜLLER & KUNZE, 1822) refer to S. p. jonicus. 16) Record doubtful, probably based on misidentification. 17) According to HOLDHAUS (1908), the record of Scydmoraphes geticus (SAULCY, 1877) in SAHLBERG (1903) undoubtedly refers to S. profanus. 18) Record doubtful, probably based on misidentification. 19) BESUCHET (in litt.) examined two males of C. granulum from Corfu (without specification of locality; coll. Besuchet, coll. Perrot). The record of C. lesinae REITTER, 1881 in SAHLBERG (1903) most likely refers to C. granulum. 20) Homoeusa KRAATZ, 1856 requires revision; a reliable identification at the species level is currently not possible. 21) Probably conspecific with what SAHLBERG (1903) recorded as G. nigritulus (GRAVENHORST, 1802). 22) The record of Quedius molochinus (GRAVENHORST, 1806) most likely refers to Q. meridiocarpathicus. 23) Recorded as Anotylus corcyranus (COIFFAIT, 1968) (see the New Synonymies section in this paper). 24) Probably undescribed, but widespread in the East Mediterranean. 25) In SCHÜLKE & SMETANA (2015), the distribution of this subspecies given as “ GR ” without further specification, suggesting that it is more widespread. However, the description is based exclusively on material from Corfu and records from localities other than Corfu are unknown so that the currently known distribution of this subspecies is confined to Corfu. See comment in the New Synonymies section. 27) See comment on Paederus littoralis in the New Synonymies section. 28) Recorded as M. insulanus LUZE, 1901. 29) Records of Ocypus tenebricosus (GRAVENHORST, 1846) by SAHLBERG (1903) may refer to O. corcyranus, too. 30) Possibly an undescribed species distributed also in the Pelopónnisos. 31) The record of Sunius melanocephalus (FABRICIUS, 1793) probably refers to S. hellenicus. 32) Previous records of C. jonicum jonicum from Kefalonia refer to an undescribed subspecies (BESUCHET in litt.). 33) The record of Scopaeus “ sulcicollis Steph. = minutus Er.) ” in SAHLBERG (1903) most likely refers to S. pusillus, or possibly to S. cameroni (FRISCH pers. comm.). 34) Recorded as Tychoides pullus (misidentification). 35) Identification doubtful. 36) The record of Sunius bicolor (OLIVIER, 1795) probably refers to S. fallax. The record of Planeustomus palpalis (ERICHSON, 1839) by ERICHSON (1840) probably refers to P. rosti. 38) Description based on a unique female.	en	Assing, Volker, Schülke, Michael, Brachat, Volker, Meybohm, Heinrich (2018): On the Staphylinidae of the Greek island Corfu (Insecta: Coleoptera).

DC3140004561FFB8FF75FB33FCEC8407.taxon	description	Previous attempts at finding type material in the Gistel collection, which is supposedly deposited in the Zoologische Staatssammlung München, have not been successful (e. g., ASSING 2008 c). Bledius bubalus has never been recorded since the original description and is currently listed only for Corfu (HERMAN 2001, SCHÜLKE & SMETANA 2015). However, Bledius species are generally more or less widespread, so that the possibility that there is an endemic species in Corfu can be ruled out. There is no West Palaearctic Bledius species with three horns on the head, so Gistel evidently misinterpreted the anterior process of the pronotum as originating from the head. Four species with two horn-like processes on the head and a long horn-shaped process of the pronotum are known from Corfu: B. spectabilis, B. frisius, B. furcatus, and B. corniger. Only B. corniger is of similar size as B. crassicollis, whereas the other three species are distinctly larger. Therefore, B. bubalus is synonymized with B. corniger.	en	Assing, Volker, Schülke, Michael, Brachat, Volker, Meybohm, Heinrich (2018): On the Staphylinidae of the Greek island Corfu (Insecta: Coleoptera).

DC3140004561FFB8FCF0FE93FBE88428.taxon	description	A study of material of P. littoralis and P. pelikani from Corfu, mainland Greece (from the north southwards to the Pelopónnisos), the Aegean Islands, Albania, and various other regions (Spain, Italy, France, Germany, Austria, Hungary, Slovakia, Slovenia, Serbia, Turkey (numerous localities across the whole country), Israel, Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Russia revealed considerable variation in elytral length and shape, as well as in other external characters. The specimens from Corfu and Albania are indeed at the lower end of the range of elytral length, and their elytra are of more trapezoid shape than those of material seen from other regions. On the other hand, intermediate conditions were observed in populations from the Pelopónnisos and Turkey. Moreover, significant differences in the morphology of the aedeagus were not found. There is, however, some variation in the shapes of the dorsoapical structures (the pair of sclerotized hook-shaped structures best visible in lateral view). They are stout and more or less distinctly angled (lateral view) in material from Corfu, stout and smoothly curved in material from the Caucasus region (Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Russia, East and Northeast Anatolia (Erzurum, Van), and slender and smoothly curved in other regions. Intermediate forms were observed in material from the Pelopónnisos and from southwestern Anatolia (Antalya). These observations suggest that the variation is somewhat clinal, but unlikely to represent interspecific variation. There are numerous other examples of deviant elytral length in island populations (e. g., Othius lapidicola (ASSING 1997 b )) and of variation of aedeagal shape (e. g., species of Leptobium CASEY, 1905 (ASSING 2005 )). Therefore, based on currently available evidence, the populations from Corfu are regarded as conspecific with P. littoralis. Hence the synonymy proposed above.	en	Assing, Volker, Schülke, Michael, Brachat, Volker, Meybohm, Heinrich (2018): On the Staphylinidae of the Greek island Corfu (Insecta: Coleoptera).

DC3140004560FFB9FF58FE93FE3F8847.taxon	description	First, the presence of an endemic species of Phacophallus COIFFAIT, 1956, whose species are mostly widespread and active dispersers by flight, can be ruled out. Second, the morphological characters specified in the original description indeed do not seem to be compatible with Phacophallus. Third, and most importantly, the internal structures of the aedeagus, which are emphasized by BORDONI (2017) as being so distinctive, are identical to those of Leptacinus batychrus, a rather common species in Corfu. Since other morphological characters indicated by BORDONI (2017) are in agreement with those of L. batychrus, too, there is little doubt that the male BORDONI (2017) described as Phacophallus corcyranus is in fact L. batychrus. When dissecting the aedeagus, Bordoni evidently lost (tore off?) the parameres so that the male primary sexual characters seemed to be those of Phacophallus. In consequence, P. corcyranus is placed in synonymy with L. batychrus.	en	Assing, Volker, Schülke, Michael, Brachat, Volker, Meybohm, Heinrich (2018): On the Staphylinidae of the Greek island Corfu (Insecta: Coleoptera).

DC3140004560FFBAFF58FAD1FD338867.taxon	description	Description: Body length 2.4 – 2.8 mm; length of forebody 1.20 – 1.45 mm. Coloration: head black; pronotum dark-brown to blackish-brown; elytra yellowish-brown to brown; abdomen dark-brown to blackish-brown, with the posterior margins of the segments paler; legs dark-yellowish to reddish; antennae dark-brown to blackish-brown; maxillary palpi brown, with the apical palpomere yellow. Head (Figs 1 – 3) 1.08 – 1.11 times as broad as long; posterior margin distinctly concave; vertex with sharp median sulcus; punctation distinct, coarse and dense anteriorly, gradually becoming finer and less dense towards posterior constriction; interstices without microsculpture. Eyes shorter than postocular region in dorsal view. Antenna incrassate apically; antennomere IV weakly tranverse; antennomeres V – X increasingly transverse and of gradually increasing width; antennomere X approximately twice as broad as long. Pronotum (Fig. 1) small and narrow in relation to head, 0.83 – 0.85 times as broad as head; midline with very fine and indistinct median sulcus; near posterior margin with a small median impression of variable shape; punctation variable, very fine to distinct; interstices without microsculpture. Elytra (Fig. 1) 0.87 – 0.89 times as long as pronotum; punctation rather dense and fine; interstices with or without indistinct traces of microsculpture. Hind wings fully developed. Abdomen narrower than elytra; punctation dense and distinct; interstices without microsculpture; posterior margin of tergite VII with palisade fringe; posterior margin of tergite VIII convex and pectinate (Fig. 4). ♂: sternite VIII with convex posterior margin; median lobe of aedeagus 0.25 mm long, shaped as in Figs 5 – 6. ♂: sternite VIII of similar shape as that of male; spermatheca (Fig. 7) minute, 0.12 mm long, and with very short capsule. Intraspecific variation: The paratype is distinguished from the holotype by distinctly larger size, coarser and denser punctation of the head (Figs 2 – 3), and by slightly darker coloration. Since only two specimens are available, it is unknown whether these differences are an expression of a sexual dimorphism or non-sexual intraspecific variation. Comparative notes: The genus Borboropora KRAATZ, 1862 was previously represented in the Palaearctic region by four species. Borboropora corcyrana is distinguished from the three previously known West Palaearctic species as follows: from B. kraatzi FUSS, 1862 by a slightly smaller pronotum (in relation to the head), slightly finer punctation of the head, a posteriorly more strongly produced tergite VIII, and particularly by an aedeagus of completely different shape; from B. reitteri (WEISE, 1877) by distinctly more transverse antennomeres IV – X, a larger head (in relation to pronotum), relatively smaller eyes, sparser punctation of the pronotum and the posterior portion of the head, longer and stouter modified setae at the posterior margin of tergite VIII, a smoothly convex posterior margin of sternite VIII, and by a much shorter spermatheca (male sexual characters of B. reitteri unknown); from B. myrmecophila ASSING, 2009 by a more depressed head with a median sulcus (absent in B. myrmecophila), by differently shaped preapical antennomeres (B. myrmecophila: antennomeres VI – X of more conical shape), relatively smaller eyes, the punctation of the head (B. myrmecophila: coarse everywhere, not denser anteriorly than posteriorly), shorter elytra (B. myrmecophila: elytra approximately as long as pronotum), denser punctation of the posterior abdominal tergites, a posteriorly more strongly convexly produced tergite VIII with longer modified setae at the posterior margin, and by the completely different shape of the aedeagus (female sexual characters of B. myrmecophila unknown). For illustrations of B. reitteri and B. myrmecophila see ASSING (2009 g, h). The aedeagus of B. kraatzi is figured in Figs 8 – 9. Borboropora indica ASSING, 2015, the sole representative of the genus in the East Palaearctic region, is illustrated in ASSING (2015 d).	en	Assing, Volker, Schülke, Michael, Brachat, Volker, Meybohm, Heinrich (2018): On the Staphylinidae of the Greek island Corfu (Insecta: Coleoptera).

The type locality is a road along a stream valley with forest and arable land. The locality where the paratype was found is a forest track at the margin of a wetland with lakes and swamps.	en	Assing, Volker, Schülke, Michael, Brachat, Volker, Meybohm, Heinrich (2018): On the Staphylinidae of the Greek island Corfu (Insecta: Coleoptera).

DC3140004563FFBAFF75FB31FA6D8BC8.taxon	discussion	Comment: The original description is based on an unspecified number of syntypes from “ le Bugey ” (East France: Ain) (MULSANT & REY 1873). MUONA (1979) designated the sole syntype in the Rey collection as the lectotype. The lectotype, a somewhat damaged macropterous female, had been dissected by J. Muona. The genus Meotica MULSANT & REY, 1873 is currently in a state of taxonomic confusion, with the vast majority of the names of doubtful status. According to preliminary studies of the type material of most of the valid names (ASSING & VOGEL in prep.), numerous names pend synonymization and the material from Corfu is conspecific with M. parasita, the type species of the genus. In order to facilitate recognition of this previously doubtful species, a full redescription is provided.	en	Assing, Volker, Schülke, Michael, Brachat, Volker, Meybohm, Heinrich (2018): On the Staphylinidae of the Greek island Corfu (Insecta: Coleoptera).

DC3140004563FFBAFF75FB31FA6D8BC8.taxon	description	Redescription: Body length 1.7 – 2.3 mm; length of forebody 0.9 – 1.1 mm. Coloration: head blackish-brown to black; pronotum dark-brown; elytra brown; abdomen dark-brown to black, with the posterior portion of segment VII and segments VIII – X reddish; legs yellow; antennae dark-yellowish to brown with the basal three antennomeres more or less distinctly paler; maxillary palpi yellowish to pale-brown, with the apical palpomere yellow. Head (Fig. 10) approximately as broad as long; punctation rather dense and extremely fine, practically invisible in the pronounced and rather coarse microsculpture even at high magnification. Eyes relatively large, approximately 0.7 times as long as distance from posterior margin of eye to posterior margin of head in dorsal view. Antenna incrassate apically; antennomere IV distinctly tranverse; antennomeres V – X increasingly transverse and of gradually increasing width; antennomere X 2.5 – 3.0 times as broad as long. Pronotum (Fig. 10) approximately 1.15 times as broad as long and 1.15 times as broad as head, broadest anteriorly; punctation and microsculpture similar to those of head. Elytra (Fig. 10) slightly longer than pronotum; punctation dense and fine, but more distinct than that of head and pronotum. Hind wings fully developed. Abdomen narrower than elytra; punctation fine and dense; interstices with distinct microsculpture; posterior margin of tergite VII with palisade fringe; posterior margin of tergite VIII truncate, with weakly pronounced sexual dimorphism (Fig. 17, 19). ♂: sternite VIII (Fig. 18) short and strongly transverse, posterior margin truncate; median lobe of aedeagus 0.24 – 0.27 mm long, shaped as in Figs 12 – 16; apical lobe of paramere distinctly sclerotized, blackish. ♂: sternite VIII (Fig. 20) very weakly transverse, posterior margin convex, in the middle truncate or weakly concave; spermatheca (Figs 21 – 22) of simple shape, not distinctive. Comparative notes: In external appearance (dark coloration, strongly incrassate antennae, long elytra), M. parasita resembles macropterous M. exilis (GRAVENHORST, 1806), in the shape of the median lobe of the aedeagus, it is most similar to M. wunderlei ASSING, 2013 (Turkey). Meotica parasita differs from both of these species by the shape of the median lobe of the aedeagus, from the former additionally by the shape of the spermatheca and from the latter by darker coloration, much larger eyes, the shape of the male sternite VIII (M. wunderlei: posterior margin convex), and the shape of the female sternite VIII (M. wunderlei: posterior margin distinctly broadly produced in the middle).

DC3140004562FFBEFF58FE91FE1A8DA8.taxon	description	Description: Measurements (in mm) and ratios (n = 6): body length: 27.0 – 29.2; length of forebody: 13.7 – 16.1; head length (HL): 3.92 – 4.21; head width (HW): 4.90 – 5.49; length of pronotum (PL): 4.51 – 5.10; width of pronotum (PW): 4.80 – 5.29; elytral length (EL): 2.25 – 2.55; length of metatibia (TiL): 3.82 – 4.21; length of metatarsus (TaL): 3.53 – 3.92; length of aedeagus: 2.74; HL / HW: 0.77 – 0.81; HW / PW: 1.02 – 1.04; PL / PW: 0.94 – 0.98; EL / PL: 0.47 – 0.54; TiL / TaL: 1.05 – 1.13. Habitus as in Fig. 11. Coloration: whole body including appendages black. Head moderately transverse (see ration HL / HW), only slightly broader than pronotum (see ratio HW / PW); dorsal surface with dense and fine punctation and dark pubescence directed diagonally postero-mediad or transversely mediad in lateral portions and predominantly posteriad along midline; interstices on average narrower than diameter of punctures, with fine microreticulation. Eyes of moderate size, approximately half as long as postocular region in dorsal view. Antenna somewhat variable; antennomeres III 2.5 – 3.0 times as long as broad, IV – VII shorter than III and approximately 1.2 – 1.5 times as long as broad; VIII – X of decreasing length and increasingly conical and depressed; X weakly transverse; XI asymmetric and shorter than X. Pronotum slightly broader than long (see ratio PL / PW), broadest in anterior half and very weakly tapering posteriad; punctation similar to that of head, but on average slightly denser; interstices without distinct microsculpture; pubescence short, dark, and directed predominantly posteriad in more or less irregular rows. Elytra approximately half as long as pronotum, or slightly longer (see ratio EL / PL); punctures very dense, and situated in a network of somewhat diamond-shaped microsculpture. Legs of moderate length; protarsomeres I – IV distinctly dilated, without sexual dimorphism; metatibia slightly longer than metatarsus (see ratio TiL / TaL). Abdomen broader than elytra; punctation dense and fine; interstices with microsculpture composed of a mix of isodiametric and short transverse meshes; posterior margin of tergite VII without palisade fringe. ♂: posterior margin of sternite VIII weakly concave in the middle; aedeagus 2.7 – 2.8 mm long and shaped as in Figs 23 – 25. Comparative notes: In external characters, O. corcyranus is highly similar to O. tenebricosus (GRAVENHORST, 1846), whose distribution ranges from the Alps southeastwards to Albania and Serbia and Montenegro (SCHÜLKE & SMETANA 2015). It is reliably distinguished from this species by a less broad head in relation to the pronotum (no overlap) and by the shape of the aedeagus, and additionally by on average longer elytra, an on average less transverse head, and an on average more transverse pronotum. For comparison, the measurements (mm) and ratios (range; n = 16) of O. tenebricosus (based on material from the East Alps) are as follows: HL: 3.43 – 4.02; HW: 4.51 – 6.17; PL: 4.02 – 4.90; PW: 4.02 – 5.19; EL: 1.96 – 2.45; TiL: 3.53 – 4.21; TaL: 3.23 – 3.92; 2.45 – 2.74; HW / PW: 1.07 – 1.21; HL / HW: 0.59 – 0.79; PL / PW: 0.94 – 1.05; EL / PL: 0.44 – 0.51; TiL / TaL: 1.03 – 1.11. For illustrations of the aedeagus of O. tenebricosus see SCHILLHAMMER (2012). The new species is distinguished from the geographically close O. albanicus (J. MÜLLER, 1943) (one male from Albania in coll. Hromádka examined) by a less broad head in relation to the pronotum, a weakly tranverse pronotum (oblong in O. albanicus), longer elytra, and the shape of the aedeagus. The measurements and ratios of the examined specimen of O. albanicus are as follows: HL: 4.02; HW: 5.10; PL: 4.61; PW: 4.51; EL: 2.06; HL / HW: 0.79; HW / PW: 1.13; PL / PW: 1.02; EL / PL: 0.45. The slightly damaged aedeagus of the examined specimen is illustrated in Figs 26 – 27.	en	Assing, Volker, Schülke, Michael, Brachat, Volker, Meybohm, Heinrich (2018): On the Staphylinidae of the Greek island Corfu (Insecta: Coleoptera).

DC3140004562FFBEFF58FE91FE1A8DA8.taxon	distribution	Distribution and natural history: Most of the type specimens were collected on or near Oros Pandokratoras (Northeast Corfu); one paratype was found near Acharavi (Northeast Corfu) near the coast. It appears likely that the specimens recorded as O. tenebricosus from Oros Pandokratoras by SAHLBERG (1903) belong to O. corcyranus, too. With one exception, the specimens from Pandokratoras were found while scraping a mix of soil and calcareous stones from the ground beneath trees. One specimen was observed running near the monastery walls on the summit of Oros Pandokratoras in broad daylight. Considering that a large and conspicuous species like Ocypus corcyranus living in a rather well-studied island like Corfu has remained undescribed up to the present, it seems likely that it mainly forages in a subterranean habitat. Oros Pandokratoras is a calcareous mountain with the superficial subterranean habitat (MSS) practically reaching the surface and also hosts the subterranean Quedius hellenicus, which was observed to emerge from the mountain in amazing quantities (ASSING 2017 d).	en	Assing, Volker, Schülke, Michael, Brachat, Volker, Meybohm, Heinrich (2018): On the Staphylinidae of the Greek island Corfu (Insecta: Coleoptera).
