6F4987A5FF94836694EBFD95FD11FE91.taxon	discussion	Remarks. I am typically hesitant to describe new species only from female specimens. In the past (Chatzimanolis 2004; Chatzimanolis 2012) I have only done it when the specimens can be clearly differentiated from other species and are found in threatened habitats. This is also the case here, and therefore I feel comfortable describing a new species from a female specimen.	en	Chatzimanolis, Stylianos (2013): Te ra ta k i, a new genus of Staphylinini (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae: Staphylininae) from South America.
