Three new species of Paraneseuthia Franz from Australia (Coleoptera, Staphylinidae, Scydmaeninae)

Three new species of the ant-like stone beetle genus Paraneseuthia (Eutheiini) are described from Australia: P. bernierana sp. n. (Western Australia), P. dilatifurculata sp. n. (Queensland) and P. angustifurculata sp. n. (Queensland). Key morphological characters of the new species are illustrated and discussed. Diagnoses of these and other species within the genus having similar body forms are based mainly on morphological differences in the male genitalia. New distributional data are given for Australian Paraneseuthia, based not only on named species but also on females recorded from coastal and sub-coastal eastern and northern regions that are not possible to identify in the absence of males.
