Confused identity: Pseudoeudesis brasiliensis Franz transferred to Heteroscydmus Franz, and Pseudoeudesis castrii Franz placed in Anthicimimus Franz (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae: Scydmaeninae)

View through CrossRef
Based on examination of the type specimens, the Brazilian Pseudoeudesis brasiliensis and Chilean Ps. castrii are removed from Scydmaenini and transferred to genera of Glandulariini: Heteroscydmus and Anthicimimus, respectively. Lectotypes for both species are designated. Heteroscydmus brasiliensis comb. n. and Anthicimimus castrii comb. n. are redescribed. Minor differences in morphological structures between the newly transferred species and previously known Heteroscydmus and Anthicimimus are discussed and regarded as representing character variability within genera. All non-Palaearctic species previously placed in Pseudoeudesis (and in Scydmaenini) are now placed in four genera of Glandulariini (Afroeudesis, Oreoeudesis, Heteroscydmus and Anthicimimus), and it can be concluded that Pseudoeudesis is restricted to the Mediterranean basin and does not occur in the Southern Hemisphere.
