From this material, three species from three mountain national natural reserves are described as new to science: <em>Chamaepsila withersi</em> <strong>sp. nov.</strong>, <em>Chamaepsila massanea</em> <strong>sp. nov.</strong> and <em>Chamaepsila ristolasiensis</em> <strong>sp. nov.</strong> <em>Chamaepsila andreji </em>(Shatalkin, 1996) is mentioned for the first time in France. Keys to the species of <em>Chamaepsila</em> Hendel, 1917 from Europe are updated and provided in English and French. Illustrations of the genitalia of the males of <em>Chamaepsila limbatella</em> (Zetterstedt, 1847) and <em>Chamaepsila</em> <em>strigata</em> (Collin, 1959) are provided for the firt time. Male terminalia of <em>Chamaepsila andreji </em>(Shatalkin, 1996), <em>Chamaepsila bicolor</em> (Meigen, 1826), <em>Chamaepsila ephippium</em> (Zetterstedt, 1847), <em>Chamaepsila luteola</em> (Collin, 1944), <em>Chamaepsila obscuritarsis</em> (Loew, 1856), <em>Chamaepsila quadrilineata</em> (Strobl, 1898) and <em>Chamaepsila villosula</em> (Meigen, 1826) are redrawn from the authors’ material, more complete and more precise. Additional faunistic data are presented for all French species of Psilidae, derived from the 2600+ specimens identified since 2019.</span></span></span></p> <p> </p> JOCELYN CLAUDE BRUNO TISSOT Copyright (c) 2023 2023-11-29 2023-11-29 5380 2 101 133 10.11646/zootaxa.5380.2.1 <strong>A new species from the eastern Amazon rainforest with lectotype designations and key for Brazilian <em>Oxarthrius </em>Reitter, 1883 (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae: Pselaphinae)</strong> https://mapress.com/zt/article/view/zootaxa.5380.2.2 <p lang="en-GB" align="left"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><em>Oxarthrius spiculatus</em> <strong>sp. nov.</strong> from the Brazilian Amazon is described. Major diagnostic features of male and female genitalia are illustrated. Female genitalia is described for the genus for the first time. The specimens of the new species were collected from bauxite mining area in the State of Pará, Brazil where they seem to live in leaf litter. The distribution of the genus is covered and a key to the known Brazilian species is given. Additionally, the lectotype is designated for the Brazilian species <em>Oxarthrius</em> <em>anthicoides</em> (L.W.Schaufuss) and <em>Oxarthrius bispinosus</em> (Reitter).</span></span></span></p> <p> </p> BRUNO GOUVEA ROBERTA M.

This is the first species of the genus known for Toca do Gonçalo cave, located in Campo Formoso municipality, Bahia state, northeastern Brazil. The new species differs from the other species of the genus by presenting frontal lateral projections two times longer than eyes; frons with two parallel carinae deeply notched near the clypeus, shallow toward the gena, and it is a restricted eventual cave-restricted.
