8759EC6BFFAF6912FF5BFF66FA1426D9.taxon	diagnosis	DIAGNOSIS: The genus shares most characters with Algon, but may be easily separated from it by the simple (not bisinuate) posterior margin of tergite VIII in both sexes. From Rientis, which also has a simple posterior margin of tergite VIII, it may be separated as follows: clypeus hardly produced anteriad, slightly tapering toward labrum, a large portion of smooth circum-antennal area can be seen when viewed from above (Rientis: clypeus not tapering toward labrum, produced anteriad, circum-antennal area almost perpendicular to dorsal surface of head, thus only small portion visible when viewed from above); last labial palpomere with broad longitudinal depression on medial face, terminal sensorial area (Fig. 7) distinctly crescent-shaped (Rientis: medial face of last labial palpomere with indistinct depression distally, terminal sensorial area thus oblong oval or bone-shaped (Fig. 8 )); gular sutures (Fig. 5) contiguous (Rientis: gular sutures separated (Fig. 6 )); eyes markedly shorter than temples (Rientis: eyes markedly longer than temples); basiscutellum almost impunctate (Rientis: distinctly to coarsely punctate). Both genera share a pair of short, slightly oblique accessory lines at base of tergites III – V, with slight depression between those lines.	en	Schillhammer, Harald (2019): A review of Barypalpus Cameron, 1932 (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae) with descriptions of three new species.

Black, shining; palpi and labrum pale reddish, antennae reddish brown, suture of elytra sometimes obscurely reddish, particularly in the type specimens which might be paler due to their age; posterior margins of tergites IV – VI narrowly but well delimited reddish, tergite VII more broadly and tergite VIII entirely reddish; legs dark reddish brown, protarsi paler reddish, distinctly paler that tibia. Head (Fig. 9) rounded quadrangular, 1.20 – 1.25 times as wide as long; eyes very small, tempora subparallel, 1.6 – 1.8 times as long as eyes, dorsal surface with only a few larger setiferous punctures along medial margin of eyes, on tempora and along base of head; hind angles of head broadly rounded; surface of head without microsculpture, but with moderately dense micropunctation; antennae moderately long, segments 4 – 5 slightly oblong, segments 6 – 8 about as long as wide, segments 9 and 10 slightly transverse; pronotum slightly longer than wide (ratio 1.04 – 1.09), widest at anterior third, sides weakly rounded, surface without any setiferous punctures, polished, with micropunctation as on head; scutellum sparingly punctate; elytra (Fig. 13) along sides markedly longer than pronotum along midline, with irregular rows of larger punctures, becoming distinctly finer and less dense laterad, and with interspersed finer punctation, along sides almost only very fine punctures left, hypomera densely and coarsely punctate; abdominal tergites with dense and coarse, almost pit-like punctation, from third visible tergite on, punctural grooves becoming increasingly longitudinal posteriad; tergite VII with whitish seam of palisade setae; male sternite VIII (Fig. 29) with moderately deep medio-apical emargination and narrow semi-membranous extension. Aedeagus (Figs 17, 18, 25) rather small; apical portion of median lobe widened in ventral view (Fig. 17), outline more or less regularly convex, apex subacute, in lateral view (Fig. 18) with apex shortly, slightly hook-like bent toward paramere, with minute subapical tooth on parameral face; paramere (Fig. 25) slender, subparallel-sided, somewhat shorter than median lobe, apex either subtruncate, slightly convex or slightly emarginate, peg setae arranged in two irregular sublateral rows, number and arrangement of peg setae seems to be quite variable.	en	Schillhammer, Harald (2019): A review of Barypalpus Cameron, 1932 (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae) with descriptions of three new species.
