  • Euvira

    Euvira is a genus of rove beetles (Staphylinidae: Aleocharinae) established by Sharp in 1883. The genus was first recorded in Canada with the description of E. micmac from Nova Scotia, where specimens were found inhabiting red oak galls. At least one additional species, E. quadriceps (Casey), is known in the genus.

  • Euvira micmac

    Euvira micmac is a species of rove beetle in the subfamily Aleocharinae, described in 2007 from specimens collected in northeastern North America. It belongs to the tribe Placusini, a group of small aleocharines associated with forest floor habitats. The species is known from a limited number of records in Canada and the United States, suggesting a relatively restricted distribution or cryptic habits. The specific epithet references the Mi'kmaq people, indigenous to parts of its known range.
