Resumo

Se presenta la primera síntesis de las especies afrotropicales del género Micrambe Thomson, 1863 (Coleoptera, Cryptophagidae). Las especies se definen de acuerdo con las características de su morfología externa y la configuración de su edeago. Se incluyen claves para la identificación de subgéneros y especies de las aproximadamente 79 especies conocidas. Se analizan las características del género Micrambe de África oriental y se señalan las constantes diferencias del edeago con las especies de dispersión paleártica, sugiriendo que las especies africanas constituyen un grupo filogenético distinto a las paleárticas. Se describen dos nuevas especies: Micrambe borjai sp. nov. y Micrambe cuccodoroi sp. nov. Nuevas combinaciones son propuestas: Micrambe angulata (Bruce, 1952) de Cryptophagus (Micrambe) angulatus Bruce, 1952; Micrambe capensis (Redtenbacher, 1867) de Cryptophagus capensis Redtenbacher, 1867; Micrambe gracilipes (Wollaston, 1871) de Cryptophagus gracilipes Wollaston, 1871 y Micrambe nigrothoracica (Bruce, 1952) de Cryptophagus (Micrambe) nigrothoracicus Bruce, 1952. Se añaden dos enmiendas justificadas: Micrambe modesta Grouvelle, 1906 en lugar de Micrambe modestus Grouvelle, 1906 y Micrambe brevipilis (Bruce, 1951) en lugar de Micrambe brevipila (Bruce, 1951). Se citan trece especies por primera vez para la fauna de algunos países afrotropicales: dos para la República de Angola: Micrambe basuto (Bruce, 1957) y Micrambe eichelbaumi Grouvelle, 1908; tres para la República Democrática Federal de Etiopía: Micrambe difficilis (Bruce, 1955), Micrambe discolor (Bruce, 1951) y Micrambe (Neomicrambe) figurata (Bruce, 1951); una para Isla Reunión: Micrambe consors Grouvelle, 1906; tres para la República de Kenia: Micrambe (Neomicrambe) figurata (Bruce, 1951), Micrambe (Neomicrambe) helichrysi (Scott, 1935) y Micrambe nigrothoracica (Bruce, 1952); una para la República de Ruanda: Micrambe (Neomicrambe) alluaudi (Scott, 1935); una para la República Unida de Tanzania: Micrambe acerba (Bruce, 1951) y una para la República de Uganda: Micrambe (Neomicrambe) crateris (Scott, 1935). urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:6B986EF3-AA5C-4484-8A13-4ED79FE16808
