  • Meanwhile, T. sp. aff. subtilis is known only from Veracruz, Mexico, but if the study of the type specimens indicate that it corresponds with T. subtilis, then its distribution includes some South American countries, Panama and the Antilles, and could be extended to the central portion of Veracruz (Fig. 13a), following a Neotropical distributional pattern (sensu lato) as it has been observed in other staphylinid species and others families of Coleoptera by Marquez & Asiain (2012), Moron & Marquez (2012) and Asiain et al. (2015), for which the distribution is from South America, including Central America, to somewhere in southern Mexico.
  • Finally, T. scutellaris is distributed in mountain areas of the Sierra Madre Occidental (Chihuahua), Eje Volcanico Transmexicano (Jalisco, Morelos), Sierra Madre Oriental (Hidalgo) and possibly Sierra Madre del Sur (Jalisco) provinces (Fig. 13a), a situation that partially accords to the Mexican mountain component proposed by Morrone & Marquez (2003), which includes the principal mountain chains of the country and is considered the most exclusive to Mexico. The individual track of T. scutellaris suggests that it may be present in several intermediate sites between their current records.
