Euplectus lapponicus (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae: Pselaphinae), a new species from boreal Finland

Abstract

A new species of the genus Euplectus Leach, 1817, E. lapponicus sp. n. Löbl & Mattila, is described from the North Boreal zone of Finland. The species is distinctive, and may be easily distinguished by the reduced number of elytral foveae, in combination with the size of the body, the punctation, and the genital characters.
