Papuopsis
There is a single species in this myrmecophilous genus of Histeridae. Papuopsis is distinguished from other genera by its laterally margined pronotum and elytra (Fig. 13A–B), lack of pronotal tubercles, short prothorax, and broadly rounded prosternal keel which extends nearly to the metasternum.
