    Abstract

    Te Staphylinini rove beetle genus Euryporus Erichson from the subtribe Quediina is restricted to include only three species from the Western Palearctic region: E. picipes (Paykull, 1800), E. aeneiventris (Lucas, 1846), and E. princeps Wollaston, 1864. Euryporus argentatus Fauvel, 1881, E. warisensis Last, 1987 and E. multicavus Last, 1980, which do not even belong to the subtribe Quediina, are excluded from the genus. Of these, two were transferred to diferent genera: Tympanophorus argentatus (Fauvel, 1881), comb. nov., from Sumatra; and Hesperus warisensis (Last, 1987), comb. nov., from New Guinea. "Euryporus" multica-vus could not be placed to any of the described genera of Staphylinini and is left as incertae sedis pending a broader study of the relevant fauna of this tribe in New Guinea and adjacent regions. Te taxonomic history of Euryporus is reviewed, and an updated diagnosis of this genus is provided.
