Baeocera colibri von Groll, 2025 | |
Baeocera colibri is a species of beetle in the family Staphylinidae. This species is found in south-eastern Brazil (Minas Gerais).
Adults reach a length of about 1.08–1.22 mm and have a dark brown body.
Adults have been collected from Ceratiomyxa fruticulosa on a fallen Pinus tree, Xylodon flaviporus and from unknown fungi on logs.
The species epithet is a Spanish noun in apposition, meaning ‘hummingbird’, alluding to the hummingbird-like male sclerite of the internal sac. [1]
