Revision of Cephennomicrus of Australia (Coleoptera, Staphylinidae, Scydmaeninae)

A comprehensive taxonomic revision identifies and describes 20 species of the tiny beetle genus Cephennomicrus (Coleoptera, Staphylinidae) across Australia, including Lord Howe Island. This includes 17 newly discovered species, expanding the known diversity of this group by nearly 85%. The study also designates a lectotype for one previously described species and proposes a working classification system for Australian Cephennomicrus, organizing them into five distinct species groups. Distribution patterns across the continent are summarized, providing critical baseline data for biodiversity studies in Australia's unique ecosystems.
