Abstract - Paratyphlus percussor n. sp., description of the first Sardinian representative of a genus new to the fauna of Italy (Coleoptera, Staphylinidae, Leptotyphlinae, Entomoculiini) - Description of Paratyphlus percussor, new species of the tribe Entomoculiini from Sardinia. Following the discovery of the new taxon, representative of a genus new to the fauna of Italy, the keys to the tribes and genera of Leptotyphlinae in Fauna d’Italia (PACE, 1996) are updated, in particular to avoid confusion with the species of the genus Cephalotyphlus Coiffait, 1955 belonging to another tribe (Cephalotyphlini). A transcription error in BORDONI & FANCELLO (2016) about the species Cephalotyphlus vicetinus (Pace, 1975) is also corrected.
