Philonthus jurgans
Philonthus jurgans is a rove beetle in the family Staphylinidae, first described by Tottenham in 1937. The species has been documented across Europe, Russia, Turkey, and Japan, and has been introduced to North America where it occurs in Canada and the United States. It was recently recorded as a new and adventive species in the Republic of Moldova, found in a grapevine plantation. As a member of the genus Philonthus, it likely shares the predatory habits common to this group of rove beetles.
