The Cephalic Morphology of Protopselaphus—A Phylogenetic Connecting Link in Staphylinidae (Coleoptera)

Margarita I. Yavorskaya, Paweł Jałoszyński, Shûhei Nomura, Rolf G. Beutel

Editorial summary

Yavorskaya and colleagues reconstruct the cephalic anatomy of Protopselaphus using micro-CT and discuss its phylogenetic significance within Staphylinidae. The studied specimen is undescribed and is therefore represented only at subfamily and genus level.
