Staphylinidae – staphylinid (rove) beetles

Main Groups of Insects

After Parker, 1982, Grimaldi & Engel, 2005, and Solodovnikov, Yue, Tarasov & Ren, 2012, with Recent subfamilies, tribus, subtribus and genera from “Wikispecies” and “The Tree of Life”

Note:

There is over 57.000 described species of Recent staphylinids (Chatzimanolis et al., 2012). Family also contains a number of groups formerly treated as separate families (Pselaphinae, Scydmaeninae, etc.). Archive's current treatment only includes fossil species from Grimaldi & Engel, 2005, and Chatzimanolis, Grimaldi, Engel & Fraser, 2012. Recent species will be added when the author has lots of spare time. On the mean while I recommend checking out the listing given in the “Wikispecies” or “The Tree of Life”.
