Our new paper is out! This time, we revisited the taxonomy of the carrion beetle genus Apteroloma in Mexico.
In this study, we recognize seven species, including two new ones: Apteroloma newtoni from La Malinche, Tlaxcala, and Apteroloma sciakyi from Cofre de Perote, Veracruz. The Mexican species are associated with isolated, high-elevation mountain systems.
We also examined the status of previously recognized subspecies, recognizing them as a distinct species. For all species, we provide redescriptions, illustrations of their external morphology and genital structures, an identification key for adults, and updated distribution maps.
