GENITAL STRUCTURES OF TWO SPECIES OF THE GENUS SCYMBALIUM ERICHSON, 1839 (COLEOPTERA, STAPHYLINIDAE, PAEDERINAE)

Descriptions of the internal structures of the genitalia of Scymbalium anale (Nordmann, 1837) and S. persimile (Cameron, 1940) are presented in this paper. The structure of endophallus and genital structures of females of both species are homotypic.
