new subgenus and a remarkable new species of Domene from South China, with additional records of the genus from China, Taiwan, and Vietnam (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae: Paederinae)

“…The "parameral" side (i.e., the side where the sperm duct enters) is referred to as the ventral, the opposite side as the dorsal aspect. Comment: This species was previously known only from Hubei, Shaanxi, Gansu, Sichuan, and the border region between Shaanxi and Chongqing (Feldmann et al 2014, Assing 2016. The above first record from Taiwan considerably expands the known distribution.…”

“…The remaining species are distributed on the West Palaearctic (49 species) and East Palaearctic regions, including North Vietnam (34 species). Prior to the present study, the Domene fauna of China, Taiwan, and North Vietnam was represented by 25 species, all of them assigned to the subgenus Macromene Coiffait, 1982, with 21 species (two doubtful records omitted) reported from China (17 exclusive), two (both exclusive) from Taiwan, and two (one exclusive) from North Vietnam (Koch 1939, Rougemont 1995, Assing & Feldmann 2014, Assing 2015, 2016, Peng et al 2015, 2017. Material recently made available to me by Harald Schillhammer included five specimens of an undescribed species of Domene.…”
