Abstract

Anthobioides pubescens, an unusual new genus and new species of rove beetle, is described from the Olympic and Mt. Rainier National Parks, WA. The genus is assigned to the Anthobium-group of genera in the tribe Anthophagini, subfamily Omaliinae. The new genus represents the sister group of the genus Camioleum Lewis from Japan. The phylogeny of Anthobioides and Camioleum and their relationship to the other four genera assigned to the Anthobium-group is discussed. All pertinent characters of Anthobioides are illustrated by line drawings or scanning electron photomicrographs.

Résumé

Anthobioides pubescens, représentant un nouveau genre et une nouvelle espèce de Staphylinidae, est décrit à partir de spécimens récoltés dans les parcs nationaux Olympic et Mont Ramier, WA. Le genre est placé parmi le complexe générique Anthobium dans la tribu des Anthophagini, sous-famille Omaliinae. Le nouveau genre représente le taxon-frère du genre Camioleum du Japon. Les relations phylogénétiques d’Anthobioides, de Camioleum et les quatre autres genres du complexe Anthobium sont traitées. Tous les caractères importants du genre Anthobioides sont illustrés par des dessins ou des photographies prises au microscope électronique à balayage.
