A new species of the genus Euplatyrhopalus (Coleoptera, Carabidae, Paussinae) from Thailand

A new species of beetle, Euplatyrhopalus tadauchii, has been discovered within the Kaeng Krachan Forest Complex, Thailand. This finding expands the known biodiversity of the genus Euplatyrhopalus (Coleoptera, Carabidae, Paussinae) and highlights the ecological significance of the region. The species was identified through collections made using flight interception traps and light traps in Kaeng Krachan National Park, underscoring the effectiveness of these methods for uncovering new taxa in tropical forests.
