Stenus rorellus

description: Die S. rorellus -Gruppe – Revision der Gruppe
Neue Definition: Kleine bis mittelgrosse (2,0- 4,8mm), makroptere Arten, Abdomen ungerandet, 4. Tarsenglied gelappt, Stirn meist sehr breit, 9. Sternum am Hinterrand gesägt, 10. Tergit am Hinterrand apikolateral spitz, median ausgerandet oder mit verschiedenen anker- und gabelförmigen Gestalten (Ausnahmen: S. pernix L. BENICK, S. scitulus L. BENICK). Punktierung meist sehr dicht, mehrere Arten mit auffallend glänzender Beborstung. Fühler kurz, zurückgelegt nicht den Hinterrand des Pronotums erreichend. Stirn oft sehr breit. Pronotum wenig länger als breit.: Beine ohne besondere Sexualcharaktere, vordere Sternite ohne auffällige Merkmale, 8. Sternit meist nur flach ausgeradet. Aedoeagus meist mit spitzwinklig verengtem Medianlobus, Innensack breit sack-/taschenförmig, mit häkchenbesetzter Membran, stärker sklerotisierte Elemente meist fehlend, Parameren ohne besondere Merkmale.
Unter den Artengruppen mit ungerandetem Abdomen und gelapptem 4. Tarsenglied zeigt auch in der S. wasmanni -Gruppe das 10. Tergit Besonderheiten (so S. spurius L. BENICK, S. spenceri PUTHZ, Abb. 48, 49), es ist aber hier apikolateral nur rundlich vorgezogen (nicht spitz), apikomedian ausgerandet, und der Aedoeagus ist anders gebaut, auch besitzen alle Arten dieser Gruppe eine schmälere Stirn.
Diese Artengruppe ist über das tropische Afrika, Madagaskar und die gesamte Orientalis verbeitet.
