Luthrobium (Tetartopeus): Natural History, Phylogeny and Revision of the Nearctic Species (Coleoptera, Staphylinidae)
Watrous LE. 1980. Luthrobium (Tetartopeus): Natural History, Phylogeny and Revision of the Nearctic Species (Coleoptera, Staphylinidae). Systematic Entomology. 5(3):303-338
Taxonomic paper includes one specimen from the Smokies and one from near the park (L. tetricum). The eleven species of Lathrobium subgenus Tetartopeus from the Nearctic Region are revised. Thirteen specific names are placed in synonymy, L. convolutum sp.n. is described, and Deratopeus Casey is synonymized with Tetartopeus. A cladistic analysis suggests that Tetartopeus is monophyletic, and that five monophyletic species-groups are represented in the Nearctic Region.
