New taxonomic insights for Brazilian<i>Syrbatus</i>Reitter (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae: Pselaphinae), including three new species and their mitochondrial genomes

Here we present a taxonomic treatment for the Brazilian species of <i>Syrbatus</i> (Reitter, 1882), including the description of three new species (<i>Syrbatus moustache</i> Asenjo & Valois <b>sp. nov.</b>, <i>Syrbatus obsidian</i> Asenjo & Valois <b>sp. nov.</b> and <i>Syrbatus superciliata</i> Asenjo & Valois <b>sp. nov.</b>) from the Quadrilátero Ferrífero (Minas Gerais, Brazil). In addition, we designated lectotypes for the Brazilian species of species-group 2, <i>Syrbatus centralis</i> (Raffray, 1898), <i>Syrbatus hetschkoi</i> (Reitter, 1888), <i>Syrbatus hiatusus</i> (Reitter, 1888), <i>Syrbatus transversalis</i> (Raffray, 1898), and <i>Syrbatus trinodulus</i> (Schaufuss, 1887), besides recognizing the holotype for <i>Syrbatus brevispinus</i> (Reitter, 1882), <i>Syrbatus bubalus</i> (Raffray, 1898), and <i>Syrbatus grouvellei</i> (Raffray, 1898). The mitochondrial genomes (mitogenomes) of the three new species are presented, for which we present the phylogenetic placement among Staphylinidae with previously published data.
