Abstract
Konradus leehermani Chani-Posse Ramírez-Salamanca, a new genus and species of the subtribe Philonthina (tribe Staphylinini) from the Tropical Andes of Ecuador, is described and illustrated. A dataset of 57 morphological characters scored for 23 taxa representing main clades of Philonthina and its putative sister groups was prepared and analysed by maximum parsimony and Bayesian inference. Both analytical methods unambiguously placed Konradus within the Neotropical (NT) lineage of Philonthina. Phylogenetic relationships of Konradus with other Neotropical representatives are proposed and discussed.
