Molecular investigation of communities of litter-inhabiting rove beetles in the high Appalachians have revealed a rich and complex rove beetle fauna. Some entirely new and diverse lineages have been exposed, while other previously known lineages have exhibited unexpected diversity. Most widespread flightless 'species' comprise two or more distinct species, some many more. We'll dive into several newly resolved species and species complexes.
