Atheta and Its Allies of Southeast Asia (Coleoptera ; Staphylinidae) : III. Oriental Species Described by V. von Motschulsky and G. Kraatz

Abstract

In this article, fifteen species of the Oriental Aleocharinae including mainly Atheta and its allies described by T. V. von Motschulsky (1858-1861) as well as fourteen species from the same region by G. A. Kraatz (1859) have been investigated from a new standpoint of view. The faunistic works of both authors are the earliest of the Oriental region, and an inspection of these species is an inevitable course of researches on the Oriental Aleocharinae, Athetae in particular. The results are summarized in the list at the beginning of the thesis.
