The Morphology of the Rare Beetle Silphopsyllus desmanae (Leiodidae), a Commensal of the Semiaquatic Russian Desman. [PDF]

open access: yesJ Morphol
We document in detail the morphology of Silphopsyllus desmanae (Leiodidae), a commensal of the endangered semiaquatic Russian desman, and discuss it with respect to phylogeny and function. Silphopsyllus is much less adapted to life on a semiaquatic host than the closely related beaver beetle Platypsyllus.
