Western Palaearctic species of the genus Deleaster Erichson, 1839 (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae: Oxytelinae)
K.A. Grebennikov
Abstract. Type material is revised for Deleaster bergi Kastchev, 1999 and D. bactrianus Semenov, 1900. Nomenclatural status of the type specimens of D. bactrianus is discussed. The following new synonymy is established: D. bactrianus Smenov, 1900 = D. bergi Kastcheev, 1999. D. dichrous (Gravenhorst, 1802) and D. bactrianus are redescribed. Morphological variability and geographical distribution for both of these species are discussed.
