Abstract
ABSTRACT The neotropical myrmecophile rove beetle genus Paraxenopygus Bernhauer, 1911 is reviewed and two species are described as new, P. maurocyanos sp. n. from Colombia and P. newtoni sp. n. from Brazil. Lectotypes are designated for P. tremolerasi Bernhauer, 1911 and P. peruvianus Bernhauer, 1915. An identification key is provided along with photographs and illustrations for the identification of the five species in the genus. We also illustrated and discussed the importance of the metacoxal shield in Paraxenopygus. http://www.zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:53764B33-1DC2-4103-97E6-4AA07C6EB12D
