The specimens under study are notably darker than the holotype of Glyptoma denieri, from Argentina (Fig. 1), and by coloration resemble G. obscuricolle (Bernhauer, 1908) from Brazil. Despite this similarity in coloration, the type of Glyptoma denieri is smaller than G. obscuricolle, and among the studied specimens we verified a large variation of size, some with similar length to G. obscuricolle, but both species display notable variations in microsculpture patterns and shape of the aedeagus. In G. obscuricolle, the microsculpture is weaker, contrasting with the conspicuous microsculpture on the body of G. denieri. Moreover, the apical lobe of the aedeagus in G. denieri is longer and thinner than in G. obscuricolle, with fewer sensilla, whereas G. obscuricolle has a great number of sensilla in the apical portion (Irmler 2015). In Irmler's re-description of G. denieri, it was observed that the elytral punctation pattern of the region between the suture line and discal carina differs slightly from that of Brazilian and Paraguayan specimens. However, the author noted that the punctation varies significantly intraspecifically and therefore, " seems not to be a specific character " (Irmler 2015). With regard to the studied specimens, no significant differences were found in the punctation of the pronotum and elytra surface when compared to the holotype of G. denieri. Similarly, there were no discernible intraspecific differences in the distribution of sensilla or the shape of the aedeagus.	en	Moreno, Carlos, Newton, Alfred F., Casari, Sônia A.

03DC5F7AFF897E15FF6CFE8CDACFF98E.taxon	biology_ecology	Biological notes: The specimens analyzed were collected in decayed trunks in a newly deforested area. Adults and larvae of some staphylinid species, including Glyptoma denieri, were found together under the bark and were grouped together in the sample (MZSP 590). After investigation of other samples of the same locality and date, mixed taxa were also found. In one sample (MZSP 570), larvae of Glyptoma were found alongside adults of Euryachen seuzei Pires-Silva (Staphylinidae, Aleocharinae), while in another (MZSP 590), adults of Glyptoma were found with larvae of some Aleocharinae (Homalotini) and Osoriinae species (excluding Glyptoma) as well as adults of Leptochirus Germar and Lispinus Erichson. Considering that these samples were collected a long time ago and were never analyzed or identified by specialists, these materials were mixed since they came from the field.	en	Moreno, Carlos, Newton, Alfred F., Casari, Sônia A.

03DC5F7AFF897E15FF6CFE8CDACFF98E.taxon	discussion	Remarks Comparing the larvae of Glyptoma denieri with Glyptoma sp. (in Grebbenikov & Newton 2012), it was verified that the bristles on basal antennomere, stemmata, mandibular mola, hypostomal ridges, and gula are absent in the former. The epicranial suture of Glyptoma sp. was considered as a not observed character; in G. denieri it is indistinct, visible only in a small area near base of mandibles. The mandibles are similar in overall shape in both species. However, certain characteristics were consistent between them. These include the second antennomere with membranous sensory appendage near anterior margin, labrum separated from clypeus, galea completely fused to lacinia forming mala, the fusion of the mentum and submentum forming postmentum, the well-developed ligula, and the one-segmented urogomphi. Comparing the larvae of Glyptoma denieri (Thoracophorini) with the detailed published descriptions of Cylindropsis corsica (Osoriini) (Orousset 1988) and Thoracophorus corticinus (Thoracophorini: Thoracophorina) (Burakowski & Newton 1992), it was verified that they are similar in the campodeiform body shape, with long antennae having three antennomeres and similar shapes. Additionally, the larvae exhibit a free labrum, maxillary palpi with three palpomeres, and labial palpi with two palpomeres. The epicranial suture is indistinct, and stemmata are absent in all species. Larvae of all species mentioned above share several morphological traits: the mandibles are asymmetrical and lack a mola; the lacinia is fused to the galea, forming the mala; the labium is divided into the prementum and postmentum; and the urogomphi are one-segmented. The tarsunguli in all species bear two equally sized bristle, except in Cylindropsis corsica. The number of bristles on the labrum varies from four (in G. denieri and T. corticinus) to seven (in C. corsica). Only Cylindropsis corsica possesses a pseudomola with a dentiform projection, accompanied by two lateral bristles, except in Glyptoma denieri, which has four bristles. The gula is present in Cylindropsis corsica (triangular) and Thoracophorus corticinus (oblong), but absent in G. denieri.	en	Moreno, Carlos, Newton, Alfred F., Casari, Sônia A.
