Ancistrocerus capra was described by de Saussure in 1857 from North America and then was synonymized with the Palaearctic A. antilope (Panzer, 1798) by Bequaert in 1944. Although these species share a combination of two characters (impunctate and shining metapleuron and lateral surface of the propodeum and a bifurcate apex of the aedeagus) not known in other species of Ancistrocerus, they are clearly different in the structure of the clypeus (especially in the male) and the male genitalia (structure of the volsella, general shape of the aedeagus, and the structure of its ventral lobe). Thus, A. capra is again recognized as a distinct species in the present contribution. This species is distributed in the United States and Canada while A. antilope has a trans-Palaearctic distribution. Two subspecies of A. antilope known from North America are synonymized with A. capra: A. antilope navajo Bequaert, 1925 (new synonymy), and A. antilope allegrus Bequaert, 1944 (new synonymy); the taxonomic status of A. capra spenceri Bequaert, 1944, remains unclear. Bionomics of A. antilope and A. capra are similar; particularly, these species share an association with apparently the same species of symbiotic mites, Kennethiella trisetosa (Cooreman, 1942) (Sarcoptiformes: Winterschmidtiidae), and an unusual mating behavior correlated with this association (first of all, several copulations per pair). A difference, however, exists in the number of generations per year and the sex ratio: A. antilope has a single (overwintering) generation with a female-biased sex ratio while A. capra has an overwintering generation with a male-biased sex ratio and a summer one with a female-biased sex ratio.

“…Stenus is the larger of the two genera, with more than 3100 species worldwide, while Dianous has 262 known species (Puthz, 2016, 2021). In Turkey, only two species ( D. coerulescens and D. ponticus ) belonging to the genus Dianous were identified and three subspecies ( D. coerulescens anatolicus, D. coerulescens elegans and D. coerulescens korgei ) of one of these species were given (Korge, 1964, 1971; Fagel, 1963; Puthz, 1979, 1981, 2002; Turan and Sert, 2019, 2021). According to Anlaş and Puthz (2019), in Palaearctic region has 1238 Stenus species.…”

“…According to Anlaş and Puthz (2019), in Palaearctic region has 1238 Stenus species. 130 Stenus species exist in Turkey (Anlaş and Puthz, 2019; Turan and Sert 2019, 2021). Turkey is a unique location for the study of Steninae fauna because it serves as a bridge between Europe and Asia, with a wide range of climatic and ecological conditions.…”

In this study, distribution of Steninae (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae) subfamily in Turkey was comprehensively evaluated and compared with the fauna of Turkey's neighboring countries and the Palaearctic Region. The current literature indicates that there are 130 Steninae species in Turkey, and approximately 17.5% (23 species) of these species are endemic to Turkey. This study presents the results of an analysis of the similarity between Turkey and its neighboring countries and the Palaearctic region. The Black Sea region has the most species (87 species) and the highest number of endemic species (15 species) in Turkey. An analysis of the similarity between Turkey's regions revealed that the Central Anatolia Region and the Eastern Anatolia Region are the most similar to each other, with a similarity rate of 75%. In terms of similarity with other countries, the Steninae fauna of Turkey is most similar to that of Greece and Bulgaria, with a similarity rate of 43%. Compared to other sub-regions of the Palaearctic, the Steninae fauna of Turkey is more similar to the Middle Eastern fauna, with a similarity rate of 29%.
