D0225B07FFABFF95D6DB86080D6609DB.taxon	discussion	The group is here proposed for a single new species. It possesses unfused metanepisterna, as members of the B. serendibensis group. It is distinctive by the aedeagus with the unsplit dorsal side of the apical process (without valves above ostium), the wide and weakly sclerotized parameres, and the internal sac lacking sclerotized structures.	en	Löbl, Ivan, Smetana, Aleš (2021): On the Baeocera Erichson (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae: Scaphidiinae) of Sabah, Malaysia, and a tale on mystified biodiversity.

D0225B07FFA8FF99D6DB86670B8F0B46.taxon	diagnosis	Differential diagnosis. This species may be distinguished from other members of the Baeocera lenta group having coarse elytral punctures limited onto the anterior two-thirds of the disc, complete basal striae and the ventrite I smooth posterior of basal puncture row, by the metaventrite entirely densely punctate, the concealed scutellum, and the aedeagal characters. The shape of the parameres, the comparatively elongate apical process of the median lobe and the narrow flagellar guide-sclerite are similar to those of B. rufula (Löbl), and B. secreta and B. semirufa described below. These species share also an internal sac lacking vesicles. Baeocera rudis may be distinguished from them by its parameres narrow and weakly bent near bases, and by the shape of the sclerites of the internal sac.	en	Löbl, Ivan, Smetana, Aleš (2021): On the Baeocera Erichson (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae: Scaphidiinae) of Sabah, Malaysia, and a tale on mystified biodiversity.

It may be distinguished from the Malaysian congeners, B. ornata (Löbl, 1973) excepted, by the parameres narrowed and arcuate in apical halves, in combination with the presence of a membranous vesicle along the apical part of the flagellum. It is distinguished from the similar B. ornata by the wider basal halves of the parameres, the absence of an elongate supporting sclerite along the flagellum and the distinctive shape of the base of the sclerotized complex of the internal sac.	en	Löbl, Ivan, Smetana, Aleš (2021): On the Baeocera Erichson (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae: Scaphidiinae) of Sabah, Malaysia, and a tale on mystified biodiversity.

This species may be distinguished by the shape of the proximal accessory sclerite and the short flagellar guide-sclerite from its similar congeners that share entire sutural striae and coarse punctation limited onto anterior elytral halves.

D0225B07FFA2FF9FD6DB861E0CAC0B1B.taxon	diagnosis	Differential diagnosis. This species resembles B. incisa (Löbl) in having the entire elytral disc and the ventrite I distinctly punctate. It may be distinguished from B. incisa by the basal striae of the elytra joined with the lateral striae, and is readily separated from its congeners, B. rudis sp. nov. excepted, by the shape of the basal sclerite of the internal sac.
