This study provides the first-ever data on staphylinids inhabiting the wild chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla) biotope. The research was conducted in April and May 2022, within a 3-are field with wild chamomile plants in the flowering stage. The findings, outlined in this paper, encompass 26 species from 4 subfamilies and 19 genera. Notably, a new species for the fauna of the Republic of Moldova was reported: Tachyporus dispar (Paykull, 1789), belonging to the Tachyporinae subfamily. The research presented in this paper completes the chapter on staphylinid faunal diversity within the country’s territory and highlights the potential for exploring new biotopes with other medicinal plants, thereby enhancing the attraction of this group of Coleoptera.
... Systematics of Paederus species is rather problematic and is relied on the male main and secondary sexual morphological characters (20). This has ended a very complex history for Paederus taxonomy and has reformed it intensely (21) and some species are regarded as synonyms of each other and or lowered to a single subspecies/species (22 and references herein). ...

Background: A combined morphological and molecular survey was performed to determine the agent of human linear dermatitis Paederus Fabricius, 1775 (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae, Paederinae) species composition in Mazandaran Province in the Caspian Sea coast in northern Iran, where most of linear dermatitis cases of the country occurred.
Methods: Altogether, 397 Paederus specimens were collected from May to August 2021 and classified using morphological characters and ITS2-rDNA sequence analysis.
Results: Morphological investigation revealed that all the specimens were Paederus fuscipes. ITS2 polymerase chain reaction (PCR) direct-sequences and the profiles of restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) derived from digestion of PCR products by HinfI, HpaII, and SalI enzymes were identical confirming the morphological results, implying that all specimens belonged to a single taxon.
Conclusion: Paederus fuscipes (Fabricius, 1775) is considered the dominant taxon and responsible for linear dermatitis in Mazandaran Province. To our knowledge, we have provided the first molecular typing of Paederus beetles at the species level, suggesting that ITS2-rDNA characterization is an alternative tool for species discrimination of Paederus spp.

Based on the exhaustive literature survey we provide the annotated catalogue with 874 species of Staphylinidae beetles relevant for the fauna of the open plains of the South European Russia (PSER). PSER is a convenience study region with some ecological integrity as it coincides with the Russian part of the Eurasian belt of steppe and semi-desert biomes. Longitudinally it stretches from the border with Donbass in the west to southern Fore Urals in the east. Latitudinally it is extended from the southern border of the forest-steppe zone in the north to the Sea of Azov, Black Sea, northern foothills of the Caucasus, northern shores of the Caspian Sea and the border with Kazakhstan in the south. Along with the zonal grasslands, PSER is a network of intra-zonal riverine woodlands, wetlands, as well as anthropogenic landscapes. It covers, fully or partly, several administrative regions of the Russian Federation. Our review shows the more complete knowledge of the rove beetle fauna for the western areas of PSER and for the Volga River basin, while several large regions like Republic of Kalmykia, Stavropol or Orenburg regions, on the contrary, are extremely poorly known. Taxonomic groups like Paederinae, Oxytelinae or Staphylininae are better explored, while many taxa including entire big subfamilies like Aleocharinae are hardly known in PSER. To facilitate further investigation of the PSER fauna, we provide keys to all rove beetle genera either recorded or expected in this territory.

... Additional phylogenetically isolated lineages, important to the higher systematics of Staphylininae and study of its evolution, may still be hidden within the morphologically heterogeneous genus Quedius, further emphasizing the need for comprehensive taxon sampling. Much morphological diversity previous efforts for North America (Smetana, 1971) and the West Palaearctic (Coiffait, 1978) such that this diversity is easier to navigate for phylogenetic sampling using informal species groups and other morphological groupings elucidated by keys. However, only a fraction of the hundreds of taxa needed for adequate representation of Quediini are optimally preserved for the high quality of DNA required for the PCR-based workflows that have become standard in the aforementioned phylogenetic studies. ...
... Clade F was resolved as sister to a clade containing all other members of the Microsaurus lineage and named here the 'core Microsaurus' clade ( Fig. 3). Clade G was recovered by all analyses and was composed of the erythrogaster group (clade G1) (sensu Brunke et al., 2020a), the Nearctic caseyi, desertus and limbifer groups of Smetana (1971) (clade G2), and clade G3 containing the West Palaearctic microps group (Coiffait, 1978) and the East Palaearctic kiangiensis group (Smetana, 2017). Clade H was recovered by all analyses and contained representatives of the criddlei, mnemon, przewalskii and spelaeus groups (Smetana, 1971(Smetana, , 2017Solodovnikov & Hansen, 2016;Salnitska & Solodovnikov, 2018b) and Quedius (Megaquedius). ...
... The Raphirus lineage was resolved as a group consisting of large-eyed Quedius species forming sister clades V and W, and genus Euryporus sister to the smaller-eyed and mostly West Palaearctic Quedius of clade X (Fig. 6). Clade V was recovered by all analyses and consisted of the probus and vulpinus groups of Q. (Raphirus) (Smetana, 1971) and species treated as Microquedius (= Raphirus) by Coiffait (1978). Clade W was recovered by all analyses and consisted of species from the boops and muscicola groups of Q. (Raphirus) (Smetana, 1971(Smetana, , 2017. ...
Rove beetles of the tribe Quediini are abundant predators in humid micro-habitats of forested, open, synanthropic or subterranean ecosystems, with just over 800 species distributed across the temperate and subtropical regions of the Northern Hemisphere. Previous molecular phylogenies included only a limited representation of this diversity but have already indicated that Quedius, containing the majority of Quedi-ini species, is polyphyletic. Six genera, historically associated with Quediini but now Staphylininae incertae sedis, are known only from few pinned specimens and have never been sequenced. Recent synergy between target enrichment phylogenomics, low-input sequencing of dry, pinned insect specimens and advances in alpha taxonomic knowledge have made comprehensive sampling of Quediini tractable. Here we developed a novel probe set specialized for anchored hybrid enrichment of 1229 single-copy orthol-ogous loci in Staphylinidae. In one of the largest target enrichment phylogenies of insects to-date, we sequenced 201 ingroup taxa to clearly delimit monophyletic Quediini within Staphylininae and resolve relationships within this tribe, with 46% of sampled taxa derived from pinned specimens (0-45 years old). Maximum likelihood and coalescent phylogenetic analyses produced well-resolved, congruent topologies that will serve as a framework for further exploration of this radiation and its necessary generic revision. The inclusion of nearly all remaining Staphylininae incertae sedis genera, all known only from pinned specimens, resulted in the creation of Quelaestrygonini Brunke, trib. n. and revised concepts for Cyrtoquediini and Indoquediini. Quediini was resolved as mono-phyletic with the transfer of Q. elevatus and Q. nigropolitus to other tribes but Quedius and its subgenera Microsaurus, Distichalius and Raphirus were shown to be para-or polyphyletic. Based on the results of our analyses, Velleiopsis Fairmaire, 1882 syn. n. and Megaquedius Casey, 1915 syn. n. are synonymized with Microsaurus Dejean.

L’esigenza di studiare la fauna dei Coleotteri delle 10 Riserve Naturali dello Stato gestite dal Reparto Carabinieri Biodiversità di Belluno, al fine di approfondirne le conoscenze, ha messo in evidenza la necessità di disporre di uno strumento “agile” per la determinazione delle numerose famiglie di Coleotteri della nostra fauna. Da questa necessità è nata l’iniziale idea di sviluppare una chiave dicotomica ricca di immagini e schemi di dettaglio, che in corso d’opera è stata poi arricchita anche dalle tavole anatomiche e dal glossario. A completamento del progetto, è sembrato utile allegare un catalogo di tutte le 13047 specie di Coleotteri ad oggi segnalate per il nostro Paese, oltre ad una sintetica descrizione delle famiglie esaminate, corredata da note bio-ecologiche e dall’indicazione di alcuni strumenti bibliografici utili per la determinazione a livello specifico degli esemplari in studio.
Quest’opera rappresenta principalmente uno strumento adatto a suddividere i Coleotteri della fauna d’Italia in un totale di 148 famiglie, permettendo talvolta di discriminare tra generi o specie diverse, soprattutto nel caso di famiglie per le quali la fauna italiana risulta composta da poche specie. Tutte le informazioni e i dati che sono qui riportati (caratteri anatomici, note biologiche ed ecologiche, numero di specie ...) fanno riferimento esclusivamente alle specie di Coleotteri presenti in Italia, con aggiornamento al mese di novembre 2021.
La struttura di questa chiave dicotomica si basa sullo studio e la rielaborazione, con adattamento per le specie
della fauna italiana, di numerosi lavori scientifici e chiavi dicotomiche che vengono riportati in bibliografia, oltre
all’analisi diretta dei caratteri diagnostici, effettuata sul materiale della collezione entomologica del Reparto Carabinieri Biodiversità di Belluno e delle collezioni private degli autori.
The need to study the Beetle fauna of the 10 State Natural Reserves managed by the Reparto Carabinieri Biodiversità of Belluno, in order to increase their knowledge, has highlighted the need to have a "smart" tool for determining the numerous families of Beetles of our fauna. From this need, the initial idea of developing a dichotomous key, rich in images and detailed schemes, was born. The key was then enriched with anatomical tables and a glossary. To complete the project, it seemed useful to add a catalogue of all 13047 species of Beetles reported to date for our Country, as well as a brief description of the examined families, with bio-ecological notes and a list of some bibliographic tools to be used for the determination of the specimens under study at the specific level.
This work mainly represents a suitable tool for dividing the Beetles of the Italian fauna into a total of 148 families, sometimes allowing to distinguish different genera or species, especially in the case of families composed of a few italian species. Information and data here given (anatomical characters, biological and ecological notes, number of species ...) refer exclusively to the species of Coleoptera recorded for Italy, updated on November 2021.
The structure of this dichotomous key is based on the study and re-elaboration of numerous scientific works
and dichotomous keys, that are listed in bibliography, with adaptation for the species of the Italian fauna, in addition to the direct analysis of the diagnostic characters of the specimens of the entomological collection of the Reparto Carabinieri Biodiversità of Belluno and of the authors' private collections.
... All that is currently known is scattered in some old taxonomic works, regional species list, limited revisions, species descriptions and summaries of the results of individual field trips (e. g. Jarrige, 1952Jarrige, , 1971Coiffait, 1960Coiffait, , 1971Coiffait, , 1981Coiffait, , 1984Assing, 2008;Anlaş & Rose, 2009;Anlaş, 2017). As a consequence, the status of numerous species and subgeneric names, particularly those from the Mediterranen, is doubtful. ...

Resumo: Estuda-se neste artigo a fauna portuguesa da subfamília Euaesthetinae Thomson, 1859 (Coleoptera, Staphylinidae), apresentando-se chaves para identificação dos géneros existentes e de possível ocorrência, bem como registos de duas novas espécies para Portugal. Abstract: Contributions to the knowledge of the Portuguese fauna of Staphylinidae (Coleoptera). II-The Portuguese Euaesthetinae. An overall view of the Portuguese fauna of the subfamily Euaesthetinae Thomson, 1859 (Coleoptera, Staphylinidae) is provided, including identification keys to the existing genera and of likely occurrence, as well as records of two species new for Portugal. Introdução A subfamília Euaesthetinae Thomson, 1859 pertence à família Staphylinidae Latreille, 1802 e é representada por espécies de pequeno porte (1,0-2,0 mm) com cabeça saliente e uma ligeira constrição na parte posterior dos olhos, salientes e com o pescoço largo. Antenas inseridas a pequena distância e em frente dos olhos por cima da base das mandíbulas, formadas por 11 artículos (antenómeros). Lábio curto e mandíbulas compridas e curvas. Palpos maxilares de quatro artículos com o primeiro mais comprido ou tão comprido como o segundo e o terceiro juntos. O quarto é pequeno e afilado na ponta (subulado). Os palpos labiais, formados por três segmentos, em que o primeiro é curto, o segundo oval e o terceiro subulado. Abdómen com um sulco na parte inferior junto à base e os lados com paratergitos em que o primeiro é mais comprido que os restantes. Tíbias ciliadas e tarsos da forma 4-4-4 ou 5-5-5 ou ainda 5-5-4 em alguns géneros exóticos. Grupo com distribuição global e em que o conhecimento ecológico das espécies é muito pobre.
... In the Palaearctic region, the genus Tetartopeus Czwalina, 1888 is represented by 28 species, three of which occur in Turkey: T. adanensis Assing, 2004 from Adana and Osmaniye provinces, T. czwalinai (Jakobson, 1909) from Izmir province, and T. stylifer (Reitter, 1909) from Erzurum province (Coiffait 1982;Smetana 2004;Assing 2004Assing , 2007a. Presence of two additional species in Turkey requires confirmation. ...
... Presence of two additional species in Turkey requires confirmation. Coiffait (1982) reported T. rufonitidus (Reitter, 1909) (as T. confusus Coiffait, 1972) from Asia Minor, but without specification of locality. Also, T. scutellaris (Nordmann, 1837) has been recorded from Adana province by E. Lokay (Horion 1965). ...
Tetartopeus tezcani sp. n. from Anatolia, Turkey, is described, illustrated and distinguished from related congeners. Tetartopeus persicus Coiffait is reported from Turkey for the first time. A key to the Turkish species of Tetartopeus is presented.
... This beetle has been observed partially buried in the surface sand layer beneath wrack, exposing only its extended mandibles to catch passing preys [58]. Remus sericeus, another staphylinid with similar habits but more sensitive to environmental alterations, is smaller and preys on dipteran larvae and collembolans [50,59] (p. 334). ...
Anthropogenic development has historically concentrated in coastal areas to exploit resources from fishing and commercial navigation. In recent centuries, intensive tourism has added pressure on sandy shorelines, leading to their modification. This development model has led to the disappearance of most coastal sand dunes and their rich biodiversity, which includes specialized plant and animal species adapted to sandy substrates, harsh arid conditions, and variable levels of salinity. The European Community’s conservation policies, particularly the Habitats Directive (Council Directive 92/43/EEC), have facilitated the preservation and restoration of the few remaining dune systems. However, these policies have unfortunately overlooked the protection of the adjacent beaches, which are integral to the coastal ecosystem. The loss of biodiversity typical of the beach–dune ecosystems is examined in relation to the anthropogenic disturbance factors, with particular attention to mechanical beach cleaning. Indeed, the metabolizable energy generated by this decomposer biomass is crucial for supporting a diverse trophic network of predators, ranging from insects to birds. The rapid disappearance of the specialized beetle fauna is examined, and some essential criteria for defining standard biotic indices suitable for monitoring these ecosystems are suggested. This approach aims to support more effective conservation programs for these fragile environments. We recommend revising the regulatory framework for safeguarding beach–dune ecosystems, while also proposing some key management principles to be incorporated into the protection guidelines.
... The collected samples were brought to the Biodiversity Laboratory in Department of Zoology, Government College University, Faisalabad. The samples were sorted through visual observation and then identified under microscope (M33OO-D) in the laboratory with the help of available keys (Scheerpeltz, 1960;Abdullah & Qadri, 1970;Coiffait, 1982Coiffait, , 1984Lobl, 1986;Pace, 1986;Herman, 2001;Smetana, 2004), web sites and entomological articles. ...
Field experiment was conducted to collect/sample staphylinid beetles with four different traps (flight intercept trap, Berlese funnel trap, light trap and pit fall trap) and net/hand collection from eleven selected locations of Punjab (Pakistan) in 2013 and 2014. Each locality was sampled for 4 days with an interval of two months. Different abiotic factors were noted and Shannon diversity index was calculated for each locality. A total of 4386 specimens (beetles) were collected. Pitfall traps were found most conducive and effective in sampling beetles followed by Berlese funnel traps and net/hand collection while light traps showed least efficiency. Maximum value of species richness and abundance was observed during Monsoon season (July-August). Paederus fuscipes was the most common species. The highest value of α-diversity index was observed from Sargodha during both years while in case of Shannon-Wiener index value, Murid Wala was the highest during 2013 and Gutwala during 2014. Changa Manga was the place with highest evenness value. The results of Generalized Linear Mixed Model (GLMM) also indicated that the abundance/number of beetles sampled with different collection methods had significant effects with locality and crop type while insignificant effects with time (years). We conclude that methods of trapping need refinement by installing traps for large duration in all study location keeping all conditions (biotic & abiotic) in view to enhance the efficiency of collection methods and exploration of staphylinid beetles.
... Pensant avoir des immatures ou des individus aberrants et devant la difficulté qu'aurait pu procurer l'identification de ces insectes, les choses en étaient restées là. Devant Coiffait [1984], il s'avère rapidement que l'insecte étudié n'est pas présent dans cette faune. L'utilisation de la clé d 'Assing, [2012] ainsi que la publication de Gay [2023] permettent sans aucun doute d'affirmer qu'il s'agit alors de la deuxième commune connue actuellement en France où R. ceylanensis est présent. ...

... After Scheerpeltz (1962) rejected Gridelli's subgeneric division of Scymbalium, it included no subgenera, whereas Schatzmayria was placed in synonymy of Scymbalium. Finally, Coiffait (1980Coiffait ( , 1982 reinstated Micrillus as a genus distinct from Scymbalium and considered Schatzmayria a synonym of the former. In 2008, Assing began the revision of the Palaearctic and Oriental members of Micrillus, with some attention to the similar-looking Scymbalium, which led to a significant reduction of the number of species in Micrillus because of the high rate of synonymies and to the diagnoses of both genera based on an incomplete sample of described species. ...
Paederinae, a diverse subfamily of rove beetles (Staphylinidae), is poorly explored with an outdated subtribal and generic classification lacking proper phylogenetic perspective. Therefore, the discovery of two Baltic amber fossil specimens resembling the genera Micrillus and Scymbalium, which are particularly challenging in terms of systematics, called for a thorough analysis to infer their phylogenetic position and their ecological requirements. The fossils were examined with light microscopy supplemented by X-ray micro-computed tomography, and then scored into a Paederinae-specific matrix of 99 morphological characters, along with a broad sample of recent Paederinae and non-paederine outgroups. Morphological phylogenetic analyses were conducted, using Bayesian Inference and Maximum Parsimony. The obtained phylogeny confirmed that the genera Scymbalium and Micrillus form a lineage outside Lathrobiina; therefore, both genera are now classified as Lathrobiini incertae sedis pending a more inclusive phylogenetic work on Paederinae. The analysis firmly placed both fossils in that recent lineage, albeit rendering Micrillus paraphyletic with respect to Scymbalium. Without a more extensive analysis based on the revised world fauna, any systematic changes would be premature. Thus, the fossils are described as Micrillus electrus, sp. nov. and Scymbalium phaethoni, sp. nov. in accordance with the current diagnoses of both genera. Given that the recent species of Micrillus and Scymbalium are predominantly thermophilic and mainly confined to dry open landscapes in Africa, southern Eurasia and Australia, the finding of Baltic amber representatives implies the very diverse landscape and the equable (sub)tropical palaeoclimatic conditions of the Eocene amberiferous ‘forest’, the latter being the subject of continued debates.
... Quedionuchus plagiatus is distributed in forested parts of Europe, non-European Russia, Kazakhstan and North America, avoiding only the forests of the southeastern USA and the southern West Palaearctic (Smetana 1971;Schülke and Smetana 2015). Across its range, the species demonstrates considerable morphological variation in colouration, body proportions, sculpture and the male aedeagus (e.g., Coiffait 1978;Smetana 1967Smetana , 1971), which has led to a number of currently recognized synonyms (Schülke and Smetana 2015). Additionally, two currently valid and likely sympatric East Palaearctic species, Q. planatus Sharp, 1888 and Q. samuraicus (Bernhauer and Schubert 1916), have never been clearly differentiated from Q. plagiatus, and it is not known whether the latter species extends into China, where another species, Q. reitterianus (Bernhauer 1934), has been described. ...
The recognition of Holarctic species, those shared between Nearctic and Palaearctic regions, often implies continuous or recent events of gene flow across the 85-km-wide Bering Strait between Alaska and Russia. During the Pleistocene (2.8–0.012 Mya), the Bering land bridge has provided frequent episodes of continuous, tundra habitat across this barrier, while the taiga forests of the northern hemisphere has been separated for much longer, at least 5.4 Mya. This more ancient divergence has led to allopatric speciation in nearly all forest-specialized organisms, including all tree species, and casts doubt on the taxonomic validity of the few subcortical beetle species that are considered to be Holarctic. Here we test the apparent Holarctic distribution of one such species, the morphologically variable rove beetle Quedionuchus plagiatus. Drawing upon morphological and molecular evidence, including morphometric analysis of male genitalia and phylogenetic and cluster analyses of DNA barcodes, we demonstrate that species-level diversity has been greatly underestimated in this lineage and conclude that none of its members are Holarctic. We propose complete allopatric divergence across Beringia in obligate forest beetles and discuss the role of biological constraints as barriers to Holarctic geneflow. We describe Quedionuchus caucasicus Brunke, sp. nov., Q. deceptor Brunke sp. nov., Quedionuchus gilaensis Brunke sp. nov., and Quedionuchus yunnanensis Brunke sp. nov.; revalidate Quedionuchus glaber (O. Müller) and Quedionuchus longipennis (Mannerheim); and propose the following: Quedius longipennis Mannerheim, 1846 = Quedius rufipennis Mäklin, 1853 syn. nov. (previous synonym of Q. plagiatus Mannerheim); Staphylinus glaber O. Müller, 1776 = Quedius planatus Sharp, 1884 syn. nov.
... Given the large volume and diversity of Staphylininae, it is not surprising that the composition of this subfamily has been a matter of discussion from the early days of rove beetle systematics to the present. Staphylininae has been shifting from only containing the group we know now as a tribe Staphylinini (Lohse, 1964;Coiffait, 1972Coiffait, , 1974Coiffait, , 1978Coiffait, , 1982Coiffait, , 1984Smetana, 1982) to a more inclusive taxon also containing the current tribes Xantholinini, Othiini, Diochini and Platyprosopini (and, later on, Maorothiini, Arrowinini and extinct †Thayeralinini as well) (Newton & Thayer, 1992;Assing, 2000;Solodovnikov & Newton, 2005;Solodovnikov et al., 2013). The unknown sister-group relationships among these tribes gave way to solutions like Moore's (1964) equal subfamily rank for Xantholinini, Diochini, Platyprosopini, Staphylininae and Paederinae. ...
We provide the first multilocus molecular phylogeny of a group corresponding to the former subfamily Staphylininae. Results are corroborated by the morphological, biogeographical and palaeobiological evidence to serve as a baseline for an updated suprageneric classification. The former subfamily Staphylininae is proven to
be a lineage sister to the monophyletic Paederinae and reclassified according to a robust phylogeny resolving a number of long-standing controversies. The subfamily Xantholinina (revised status) is reinstated to contain the tribes Xantholinini, Othiini, Maorothiini and Diochini. Subfamily Platyprosopinae (revised status) is reinstated for the tribes
Platyprosopinini, Arrowinini and †Thayeralinini. For a highly peculiar genus Coomania Cameron, formerly in Diochini, a new subfamily Coomaniinae subfam.n. is established and the composition of Diochini (revised status) is changed accordingly. The subfamily Staphylininae (revised status) is reduced to contain the former tribe Staphylinini only. Elevating this mega-diverse tribe to the subfamily rank opened up an opportunity for its more fractional classification by raising several subtribes to the tribal level as follows: Acylophorini, Afroquediini, Amblyopinini, Antimerini, †Baltognathini, Cyrtoquediini, Erichsoniini, Hyptiomini, Indoquediini, Quediini and Tanygnathinini (revised status for
all). As a result, the most species-rich tribe Staphylinini (revised status) is reduced to the more homogeneous lineage containing the subtribes Algonina, Anisolinina, Philonthina, Philothalpina, Staphylinina and Xanthopygina. Morphological synapomorphies and diagnostic characters supporting all newly defined higher taxa are provided.
... Therefore further transfers from these genera to Pseudolathra are likely. A key to west Palaearctic species was provided by Coiffait (1982), and east Palaearctic and Oriental species were revised and keyed by Assing (2012Assing ( , 2013. ...

Distributions of microphthalmous Lathrobium species in Anatolia are mapped.
The behavior of organisms is very difficult to observe and document, especially direct interactions such as predation. As a result, there are few systematic studies of such phenomena on a large scale and the food webs of organisms that are formed by fleeting and opportunistic interactions are largely unknown. Understanding food webs is essential for addressing the Eltonian shortfall in biodiversity knowledge and revealing ecosystem dynamics. The rise of citizen science in recent years offers unique opportunities to study food webs on a global scale, which has been demonstrated for larger animals but not for small ones like insects. Here we explore the potential of iNaturalist as a cost-effective citizen science platform to obtain data about the prey choices of predatory rove beetles (family Staphylinidae) from the subtribe Staphylinina, as an alternative to traditional, labor-intense laboratory studies. We manually mined the dietary evidence of Staphylinina worldwide through over 48,000 observations on iNaturalist and 159 records of predation were found. Our findings show that citizen science data not only supports the published studies, but also provides direct and novel field-based evidence of rove beetle prey specialization with numbers of observations that exceed the amount of previously available data by an order of magnitude. We confirmed that some Staphylinina are generalist predators and discovered that some genera and species exhibit specific prey preferences, as documented by iNaturalist. This approach demonstrates that citizen science platforms offer an innovative, scalable, and cost-effective solution to filling global biodiversity knowledge gaps.
Two new species of rove beetles belonging to the genus Domene Fauvel, 1873, subgenus Lathromene Koch, 1938 from Portugal are described: Domene (Lathromene) boavidae sp. nov. and Domene (Lathromene) pedroi sp. nov. These subterranean species are diagnosed and compared with closely related species from the Iberian endemic subgenus Lathromene. The external morphology and male genitalia are illustrated and information on the species` ecology is presented. A dichotomous key for identifying species of the Lathromene subgenus, based on male genitalia, is presented. New faunistic and ecological data on Domene (Lathromene) viriatoi Serrano & Boieiro, 2015 are also given.
An unexpected troglobitic staphylinid is described from a dolomite cave in western China as Domene lizeyui Wang & He, sp. nov. (Coleoptera, Staphylinidae, Paederinae). The habitus of both sexes and important diagnostic features are illustrated. Brief notes on the habitat, biology and taxonomic status of the new species are provided. This is the first discovery of a troglobitic representative of Paederinae from China, the first record of a troglobitic Domene species, and only the third cavernicolous species of Paederinae from eastern Asia.

In this study, between 2009 and 2021, totally more than thausand specimens belonging to the genus Paederus Fabricius, 1775, Paederidus Mulsant & Rey, 1878 and Uncopaederus Korge, 1969 were collected in Türkiye. As a result of field studies, a total of eight species belonging to three genera were recorded. These are Paederidus rubrothoracicus (Goeze, 1777); P. ruficollis (Fabricius, 1777); Paederus balcanicus Koch, 1938, P. fuscipes Curtis, 1826, P. riparius Linnaeus, 1758, P. littoralis Gravenhorst, 1802, P. mesopotamicus Eppelsheim, 1889 and Uncopaederus signiventris (Smetana, 1962). Among these species, P. rubrothoracicus and P. ruficollis from the Marmara and Central Black Sea Regions, P. fuscipes from the Western Black Sea Region, and P. riparius from the Marmara Region of Turkey were reported for the first time. The presence of P. balcanicus in Türkiye has been confirmed. U. signiventris is endemic and distributed only in the Black Sea Region. In addition, P. balcanicus and U. signiventris are figured for the first time.
In the paper are presented two new species from the subfam. Paederinae (order Coleoptera, family Staphylinidae) found in the natural habitats of the Republic of Moldova. 1. Medon piceus (Kraatz, 1858), a species with eurytopic distribution, populates forest areas, appearing sporadically. 2. Astenus discopunctatus (Say, 1831), adventive species, detected in the oak forest litter mixed with hornbeam. For each species are described, the collection points, status, morphological features, geographical distribution, accentuation of the bioecological category, the place of maintenance in the collection: Coleoptera, Staphylinidae.
The generic classifications of the paederine subtribes Scopaeina Mulsant and Rey, 1878, and Sphaeronina Casey, 1905, are revised. Sphaeronina, revised status, is resurrected from synonymy. Keys to the included genera of both subtribes are included. Newly discovered characters in both subtribes are discussed and illustrated.
The Scopaeina now includes Scopaeus, Hyperscopaeus, Micranops, Orus, and Trisunius. The account for each genus includes its diagnostic characters, a description, summary of the general distribution, and list of the included species and specimens examined.
Scopaeus Erichson, 1839, has a revised definition and is now restricted to species that have not only a constricted neck and a trichobothrium adjacent to and at about the middorsal margin of the eye, but also a metathoracic/mesofemoral stridulum comprised of a lateral, metaventral file and mesofemoral plectral ridges, slender, apically acute, metakatepisternal processes, and a middorsally fused median lobe of the aedeagus. The stridulum, redefined herein as a file and plectrum that when rubbed together produce stridulation in insects. The metaventral file and mesofemoral plectral ridges of Scopaeus, is, heretofore, unknown in the Staphylinidae or perhaps, even the Coleoptera. Variations of the stridulum and metakatepisternal processes are illustrated and described for each species group. Five genus-group names in the Western Hemisphere, Scopaeomerus Sharp, 1886, and Euscopaeus Sharp, 1886, are new synonyms of Scopaeus; Scopaeodera Casey, 1886, Scopaeoma Casey, 1905, and Scopaeopsis Casey, 1905, are revised status junior synonyms of Scopaeus. The species in those generic groups are now included in species groups of Scopaeus.
Hyperscopaeus Coiffait, 1984, new status, is elevated to genus from subgeneric status in Scopaeus. Trisunius Assing, 2011, new subtribal assignment, is moved from the Medonina to the Scopaeina. Typhloscopaeus Jarrige, 1951, incertae sedis, formerly a subgenus of Scopaeus, is of unknown placement, but the species and generic names are retained in Scopaeus awaiting study of the type.
Orus cervicula Casey, 1905, revised combination, is returned to Orus from Scopaeus. Orus femoralis (Sharp, 1887), new combination, is transferred from Scopaeus. There are now three named species of Orus with narrow necks.

Faunistic notes on nine species of the genus Lobrathium in Afghanistan, Albania, Azerbaijan, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Cyprus, Czechia, Greece, France, Portugal, Russia, Slovenia, Spain, and Türkiye of the Palaearctic Region are presented. Two species that are taxonomically controversial, Lobrathium apicale (Baud di Selve, 1857) from Cyprus and Lobrathium. afghanicum Coiffait, 1979, synonym of Lobrathium triste (Cameron, 1924) from Afghanistan, are illustrated.
Dans le cadre d'une approche multidisciplinaire des zones d'endémisme et des biontes endémiques de l'Europe occidentale, 1169 taxons endémiques de Coleoptera Staphylinidae ont été recensés. Plusieurs données biogéographiques touchant à ces taxons ont été réunis dans une base de données relationnelles dont nous présentons ici quelques éléments : binôme, localité administrative, localité naturelle, petite région, pays, latitude et longitude. Des cartes donnant une vision synoptique des distributions par sous-famille illustrent ce travail. Une courte discussion sur la biogéographie est enfin donnée. Mots-clés Endémisme, Coleoptera Staphylinidae, Europe occidentale, zone de fort endémisme, base de données Abstract In the framework of a multidisciplinary study of the endemic biota of Western Europe, 1169 endemic taxa of Staphylinid Coleoptera have been listed. Much biogeographical information concerning these taxa has been assembled in a database. Some of these data are presented here : scientific name, administrative locality, place, district country, latitude and longitude. Maps giving a synoptic view of the distribution of subfamilies illustrate this account. Finally there is a brief discussion of biogeographical aspects of the work.
Three vesicant beetles were reported. Paederus nigricornis Bernhauer, 1911 from south India and, occurrence of P. extraneus Wiedemann, 1823 and P. alternans Walker, 1858 in Kerala. Taxonomic description of each species with remarks is presented.
Staphylinidae beetles form a major portion of terrestrial biodiversity globally and, in
particular, in Northern Eurasia, a large area with a historically better known north
temperate, subarctic and arctic biota. However, even here, rove beetles remain amongst the so-called “dark taxa” with a high fraction of taxonomically unknown lineage diversity.The propagation of DNA-based technologies in systematic entomology in recent decades has brought new opportunities for biodiversity exploration, true also for Staphylinidae. Simultaneously, new methods have revealed limitations of specimens sampled and curated by traditional practices, as existing legacy collections, whether institutional or private, unfortunately do not always qualify as a source of DNA-grade material. In addition, both legacy and newly-collected DNA-grade material of Staphylinidae remain highly biased towards Central Europe, a region with a traditionally well-developed scientific infrastructure and long-established culture for the maintenance of entomological collections. To increase the degree of biodiversity knowledge for our target organismal group across the globe, efficient sampling of DNA-grade material and, in particular, the development of comprehensive local collections in under-studied regions is highly desirable. To facilitate that, here we provide a practical guide for collecting and curation of Staphylinidae with a focus on capacity building for DNA-grade collections in Siberia and elsewhere in Northern Eurasia.
In this study, a new species of the genus Leptobium Casey, Leptobium orgeli sp. n. (Çorum province) from central northern Anatolia in Türkiye is described, illustrated, and distinguished from congeners. A total of 21 species is currently known from Türkiye. A distributional checklist of Leptobium of Türkiye is provided. Distributions of the endemic Leptobium species in central northern Anatolia are mapped. In addition, new and additional distribution data for 10 species of Leptobium are reported from different countries of the Palearctic Region. The material examined was based on specimens collected between 1927 and 2021, and contained additional specimens in European museums and Alaşehir Zoological Museum.

Abstract: Additions to the "Galician entomological bibliography". Note 9. New note with bibliographic references about the fauna of arthropods of Galicia. With the 150 titles now presented, the total number of papers collected in these notes is approximately 2,600.
This paper is the first inventory of the fauna of the rove beetle genus Quedius in the Russian Federation. It provides an annotated catalogue of 88 species of Quedius currently recorded from Russia, based on several collections and a critical evaluation of all earlier published records. All species are listed with a summary of their overall distribution and bionomics. Species distributions within Russia are given as lists of regions where they occur with references to the respective source collections or publications which any record is based on. For that, the territory of Russia is divided into 40 regions that mostly follow the administrative division of the country. The annotated catalogue is supplemented by a well-illustrated identification key to all species and a concise checklist in form of an easily visualized table. Quediusfusus Cai & Zhou, 2015, Quediushumosus Solodovnikov, 2005, and Quediuslundbergi Palm, 1973 are recorded from the territory of Russia for the first time. Based on an analysis of literature and available material, records of Quediuscincticollis Kraatz, 1857, Quediushumeralis Stephens, 1832, Quediusmaurorufus (Gravenhorst 1806), Quediusnemoralis Baudi de Selve, 1848, Quediusnigrocaeruleus Fauvel, 1876, and Quediuspicipes (Mannerheim, 1830) from Russia are considered doubtful. The distribution of Quediusbrachypterus Coiffait, 1967, described from the 'Caucasus', remains ambiguous and its presence in Russia is unlikely. The identity of Quediusfulvipennis Hochhuth, 1851 from 'Dahuria' remains unknown, pending examination of the type material. For Quediuscitelli Kirschenblatt, 1933 a lectotype is designated. For that species and Q.sofiri Khachikov, 2015 illustrations of the aedeagi are provided for the first time. The paper stresses the currently poor state of knowledge of the Quedius diversity in Russia and provides a platform for its improvement, which should begin with a large-scale sampling program, especially in Siberia and Far East.
