Baeocera bottine von Groll, 2025 | |
Baeocera bottine is a species of beetle of the Staphylinidae family. This species is found in south-eastern Brazil (Minas Gerais).
Adults reach a length of about 1.16–1.22 mm and have a dark brown body.
Adults have been collected from Ceratiomyxa fruticulosa on a fallen Pinus tree.
The species epithet is a French noun in apposition, meaning ‘boot’, in allusion to the female ovipositor’s resemblance to Victorian ladies’ boots. [1]
