Données faunistiques nouvelles sur les espèces du genre Degallierister Gomy, 2001 (Coleoptera, Histeridae, Dendrophilinae)

The geographical distribution of all species of the genus is completed through the study of new material present in various collections (932 specimens). Distribution maps are presented and a summary of ecological data is provided based on label informations, mainly collecting methods and altitudes. The genus is found for the first time from Belize, with D. penatii and D. pusillus. D. hielkemai is probably the species with the largest distribution. C. barberoi, C. bihamatus and D. yvesi show disjunct distributions but probably not for the same reasons. As most species were found under 500 m of altitude, D. diquis, D. pseudohamatus and D. yvesi were collected mainly between 1000 and 2000 m. D. lewisi in Bolivia and D. peruvianus in Peru were collected mainly higher than 2000 m. As most specimens were trapped by FIT, eight species were collected sifting forest litters, and D. antoinei and D. hielkemai were also found through canopy fogging. D. antoinei, D. hielkemai and D. striatus were occasionally found in refuse piles of army ants or leafcutter ants.
La distribution géographique des espèces est précisée grâce à l'étude d'un nouveau matériel issu de diverses collections. Des cartes de distribution sont présentées et une synthèse des données écologiques est fournie d'après les renseignements présents sur les étiquettes.
