New Cavernicolous Proptomaphaginus from Hispaniola and Mexico (Coleoptera: Leiodidae: Cholevinae)
Abstract
Two new species of the genus Proptomaphaginus are described: P. hispaniolensis, collected at an ultraviolet light trap in a bat-guano cave in the Dominican Republic and at other cave and forest sites on the Caribbean island of Hispaniola; and P. reddelli from a cave in Oaxaca, Mexico. The species are not cave-specialized. The evolution of the 6 known species in the genus is diagrammed and discussed.Downloads
