Description

* It should be noted that this dataset only contains specimen NOT vouchered in the Natural History Museum of Denmark (NHMD) and Natural History Museum Aarhus (NHMA), as these are published separately through the institution collection management system (Specify). The dataset was made to support the paper, The Philonthus rove beetles (Coleoptera, Staphylinidae) in the online Danish Beetle Bank published in Entomologiske Meddelelser. It contains distribution data of the Danish Philonthus largely based on recorded specimens from the Danish Beetle Catalog and its additions (Hansen, 1996; Hansen et al., 1998; Hansen et al., 1999; Hansen et al., 2000; Pedersen et al., 2001; Jørum et al. 2002; Pedersen & Runge, 2003; Pedersen et al., 2004; Pedersen & Vagtholm-Jensen, 2005; Jørum et al. 2006; Pedersen et al., 2008; Pedersen et al., 2010; Hansen et al., 2012; Hansen & Jørum, 2014; Hansen & Jørum, 2017; Pedersen, Hansen & Hansen, unpublished). The Danish Beetle Catalog registers occurrences in 11 zoogeographic regions based on Enghoff & Nielsen (1977). These include North West Jutland (NWJ), North East Jutland (NEJ), West Jutland (WJ), East Jutland (EJ), South Jutland (SJ), Funen (F), North West Zealand (NWZ), North East Zealand (NEZ), South Zealand (SZ), Lolland, Falster and Møn (LFM), and Bornholm (B). For each region a specimen has been recorded with precise locality and collecting data, these have been georeferenced and included as a GBIF occurrence dataset here. Furthermore, rare species were checked in the two national species databases, the Arter.dk and Naturbasen for additional records that could be verified.
