Tonne... evtl. Stenus sp.? Neuzugang dort... Species, family: Stenus sp. Staphylinidae Comment: Hallo Paul, ja der gehört in die Gattung Stenus. Eine Artbestimmung am Foto ist allerdings nur bei wenigen Arten möglich. Hier sieht's schlecht aus. lieben Gruß! Gernot Sieht irre aus, so durchgehend stark punktiert! Mit der fehlenden Randung der Tergite und den kurzen Hintertarsus wohl in der Untergattung Tesnus zu verorten. Ich tendiere zu Stenus brunnipes, aber das bräuchte weitere Bestätigung.

Hadulla and P. Winkler: It is Leiopus femoratus, with relatively small lateral spines at the sides of the pronotum. The specimen should have been also rather small. Southeastern European species, meanwhile recorded in France, Luxembourg and in Germany. Your discovery might be the first for Belgium. Nice discovery!
