Abstract

Anchocerus Fauvel, 1905 is a small genus of the rove beetle tribe Staphylinini. The most recent diagnoses of this genus were provided in Smetana (1988) and Solodovnikov (2008). Until now, 13 species of Anchocerus have been known in the world fauna. Among them, only two species were known from China: A. shibatai Smetana (1995) from Taiwan and A. schuelkei Smetana (2005) from Sichuan and Yunnan Provinces. In addition, one unnamed species of uncertain identity was mentioned by Smetana (2005) from Fujian Province.
