03BB8787520DDF412CF9667FFDFB638E.taxon	discussion	Comments. The new species is similar to T. mircopterus Pace and T. curtipennis Assing by sharing the short elytra and reduced hind wings. Tetrabothrus xizangensis is also similar to T. micropterus (illustrations of T. micropterus see Pace 1992 b: 137) in general appearance and color of the body, but can be distinguished by the more slender 1 st antennomere, and smaller distal crest of the aedeagus in lateral view. The new species can be separated from T. curtipennis (illustrations of T. curtipennis see Assing, 2007 b: 50) by broader pronotum, and smaller distal crest of the aedeagus.	en	Yan, Zhu-Qi, Li, Li-Zhen (2015): New species and additional records of Tetrabothrus Bernhauer from China (Coleoptera, Staphylinidae, Aleocharinae).

03BB8787520EDF432CF9645AFDAD60C6.taxon	discussion	Comments. Tetrabothrus puetzi was compared to the original description of T. taiwanensis Pace and the illustration of a paratype of T. taiwanensis (Fig. 5), and we conclude that the major diagnostic characters of these two species are very similar. We suspect that these two species may be conspecific. A further examination of the types of these two species is required for a positive statement ..	en	Yan, Zhu-Qi, Li, Li-Zhen (2015): New species and additional records of Tetrabothrus Bernhauer from China (Coleoptera, Staphylinidae, Aleocharinae).
