This study adds a new eyeless species of the genus Micranops to the underground beetles of the Bolivian fauna and reports new occurrences for the genus west of the Andes mountain range. It increases the number of known Neotropical Micranops species and extends the known distribution range for the genus in South America.
This work adds a new eyeless species of the genus Micranops Cameron, 1913 (Staphylinidae, Paederinae, Scopaeina) to the endogean Coleoptera of the Bolivian fauna. The loss of eyes is usually associated with adaptations to subterranean habitats, although M. bolivianus Guzman & Zyla sp. nov. was collected from leaf litter. We also report new occurrences for the genus west of the Andes mountain range. Our work increases the number of known Neotropical Micranops species to seven and extends the known distribution range for the genus in South America.
