03D75F43FFF9FFD3FF18EE51FF57FB5B.taxon	etymology	Etymology: The species is dedicated to Andreas Kleeberg, who collected most of the type specimens.	en	Assing, V. (2006): A new species and new records ofAmaurodera Fauvel from Nepal (Coleóptera: Staphylinidae, Aleocharini). Beiträge Zur Entomologie = Contributions to Entomology 105 (4): 155-160, DOI: 10.5962/bhl.part.80056, URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.5962/bhl.part.80056
03D75F43FFF9FFD3FF18EE51FF57FB5B.taxon	diagnosis	Comparative notes: Based on external characters (large body size, dark coloration, long and slender antennae and legs, absence of a sexual dimorphism of the pronotum), and the sexual characters (large and broad aedeagus, S-shaped spermatheca), A. kleebergi belongs to the silvana species group. In external morphology, it is highly similar to A. granata from eastern Nepal (Khandbari, Solukhumbu, and Sankhua Saba Districts). It is distinguished from this species especially by the denser and more ill-defined puncturation of the elytra, by the larger and in ventral view broader median lobe of the aedeagus, by the less slender and differently shaped ventral process of the aedeagus, and by the shorter duct of the spermatheca. For distinguishing characters separating A. kleebergi from other Himalayan representatives of the genus see the keys in Assing (2003, 2005).	en	Assing, V. (2006): A new species and new records ofAmaurodera Fauvel from Nepal (Coleóptera: Staphylinidae, Aleocharini).

03D75F43FFF9FFD3FF18EE51FF57FB5B.taxon	distribution	Distribution and bionomics: The absence of previous records and the restricted distributions of closely related congeners of the silvana group suggest that A. kleebergi may be an endemic of the Rolwaling Himal. The type specimens were sifted from debris and leaf litter at an altitude of 2700 - 2800 m.	en	Assing, V.
