  • Mayetia

    Mayetia is a genus of minute rove beetles (Staphylinidae: Pselaphinae) in the tribe Mayetiini. The genus includes at least three macropterous and macrophthalmic species, a rare wing and eye configuration in this predominantly wing-reduced group. Mayetia atlantica, described from the Brazilian Atlantic Forest, represents the first Brazilian record of the tribe and the southernmost occurrence of the genus in the New World. Most species in the genus remain poorly known, with limited biological data available.
