Paper!
• Foulden Maar, Otago, New Zealand
• Earliest Miocene (23.2 ± 0.2 Ma)
• Rainforest environment
• Forest floor: ants, beetles inc. Staphylinidae,
Cerambycidae, Chrysomelidae, Curculionidae & poss.
Hydrophilidae known
Introduction
Reconstruction By Paula Peters
• Family: Staphylinidae (rove beetles)
• 64,000 species (936 in NZ, mostly endemic)
• Tribe: Amblyopinini
• Mostly Gondwanan distribution
• Ca. 90 species in NZ (all endemic)
Lee et al., 2016
An Amblyopinini rove beetle from New Guinea
Materials & methods
• Single compression fossil
• Rather poorly preserved
• Deposited in Museum of the Geology
Department, University of Otago, New
Zealand
Foulder crater and fossil pit (Uwe Kaulfuss)
• Placement in Amblyopinini
• Formation of setae on elytra and
abdomen
• Scutellum with anterior scutellar ridge
only
• Placement in extant genus
• Sphingoquedius meto New species
• Autapomorphy: microsculpture of
pronotum
Results
Sphingoquedius strandi Bernhauer, 1941
Discussion & conclusion
• Represents fauna after partial or
complete submergence of NZ
• Likely belongs to clade of NZ+AUS
taxa recovered by molecular data
• Potential future minimum-age
calibration for dated phylogeny
• Other rove beetle fossils to be
studied
