Preliminary results of research on Staphylinidae (Coleoptera) in the Aspromonte area (southern Italy, Calabria)

A commented catalogue of Coleoptera Staphylinidae, collected during a survey carried out in the Aspromonte district and started in 2018, is provided. The surveyed area is remarkably diverse and inhabits several wetland areas, bogs, montane streams and torrents. 19 species are considered as remarkable (new to Italy, endemic, with peculiar geographical features, inhabiting peculiar microhabitats, introduced). The list of species is integrated with further bibliographical citations of 202 taxa. Two are new to Italy (Quedius galaecianus Outerelo, 1976 e Oxypoda cristata Assing, 2006). The communities are discussed according with distribution and ecological features of the species, and the main conservational measures for the surveyed habitats are provided.

本描述提供了一份对2018年开始于阿斯普罗蒙特地区进行的调查中收集的鞘翅目隐翅甲科昆虫的注释目录。调查区域具有显著的生物多样性，栖息着多个湿地、泥炭地、山地溪流和急流。其中19种昆虫被认为具有特殊意义（新意大利物种、特有物种、具有独特的地理特征、栖息于特殊的小生境、引入物种）。物种列表通过202个物种的进一步文献引用得到完善。其中两种为新意大利物种（Quedius galaecianus Outerelo，1976年；Oxypoda cristata Assing，2006年）。本文对昆虫群落进行了讨论，内容涉及物种的分布和生态特征，并提供了调查区域栖息地的主要保护措施。
