Baeocera pulga von Groll, 2025 | |
Baeocera pulga 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 1.23–1.25 mm and have a dark brown body.
Adults have been collected from Ceratiomyxa fruticulosa on a fallen Pinus tree.
The species epithet is a Portuguese noun in apposition, referring to friends’ humorous observations that the author studies fleas rather than beetles. [1]
