Heterota Plumbea and Coenonica Puncticollis in Florida (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae)
Abstract
The marine littoral staphylinid Heterota plumbea (Waterhouse), previously known only from western Europe and the Canary Islands, is reported from Jamaica, Quintana Roo (Mexico), and Florida (USA). The subcorticolous staphylinid Coenonica puncticollis Kraatz is reported for the first time from Jamaica, and Florida (USA), and seems to have a cosmotropical distribution. The 6 other known species of Heterota and 63 of Coenonica are limited in distribution to the Old World. Adults of H. plumbea and C. puncticollis are described and illustrated. Coenonica cameroni Frank and Thomas is a new name for C. granulipennis Cameron, 1948, a homonym of C. granulipennis Cameron, 1939.Downloads
