Abstract

The genus Saltisedes Kubota, 1944 (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae: Pselaphinae: Tmesiphorini) is redefined and three new species are described and illustrated: S. hainanensis Yin and Nomura, new species (China), S. kojimai Nomura and Yin, new species (Japan), and S. yahiroi Nomura and Yin, new species (Malaysia). Saltisedes brunneus Kubota, 1944 (Japan), the only previously known species is redescribed. Stethotaphrus Newton and Chandler is placed as a junior synonym of Saltisedes, the placement results in the following new combinations: Saltisedes clavatus (Raffray, 1882), new combination, Saltisedes hamotoides (Schaufuss, 1882), new combination, Saltisedes javanicus (Raffray, 1882), new combination, Saltisedes longispina (Raffray, 1903), new combination, and Saltisedes weiri (Chandler, 2001), new combination. A list of known Saltisedes species is included and a key to the species from continental Asia and Japan is presented.

Résumé

Nous présentons une nouvelle définition du genre Saltisedes Kubota, 1944 (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae: Pselaphinae: Tmesiphorini) et nous décrivons et illustrons trois nouvelles espèces, S. hainanensis Yin et Nomura, nouvelle espèce (Chine), S. kojimai Nomura et Yin, nouvelle espèce (Japon) et S. yahiroi Nomura et Yin, nouvelle espèce (Malaysie). Nous décrivons à nouveau Saltisedes brunneus Kubota, 1944 (Japon), la seule espèce du genre connue antérieurement. Stethotaphrus Newton et Chandler devient un synonyme plus récent de Saltisedes, ce qui entraîne les nouvelles combinaisons suivantes, Saltisedes clavatus (Raffray, 1882), nouvelle combinaison, Saltisedes hamotoides (Schaufuss, 1882), nouvelle combinaison, Saltisedes javanicus (Raffray, 1882), nouvelle combinaison, Saltisedes longispina (Raffray, 1903), nouvelle combinaison et Saltisedes weiri (Chandler, 2001), nouvelle combinaison. Nous dressons une liste des espèces connues de Saltisedes, ainsi qu'une clé d'identification des espèces de l'Asie continentale et du Japon.
