Dasycerus is the only extant genus in the rove beetle subfamily Dasycerinae. It contains 25 currently recognized species, with a new species described as recently as 2022. [1] Even more recently, nine cryptic species have been discovered in 2024, previously presumed to be D. carolinensis. They are only distinguishable through male aedeagal dissection or DNA analysis.

Staphylinoidea is a superfamily of beetles. It is a very large and diverse group with worldwide distribution.
Zeugophora is a genus of beetles in the family Megalopodidae, containing the following species:
The minute tree-fungus beetles, family Ciidae, are a sizeable group of beetles which inhabit Polyporales bracket fungi or coarse woody debris. Most numerous in warmer regions, they are nonetheless widespread and a considerable number of species occur as far polewards as Scandinavia for example.
Cheirodes is a genus of darkling beetles in the Melanimonini tribe. It was formerly known as Anemia until 1973, when T. J. Spilman determined Anemia to be a synonym of CheirodesGéné, 1839.
Lasioderma is a genus of beetles in the family Ptinidae. As of 1990, there were over 50 species in the genus.
Trogoderma is a genus of beetles in the family Dermestidae, the skin beetles. There are about 135 species worldwide.
Nosodendridae is a family of beetles, with less than a hundred species in three extant genera, which are found worldwide. Nosodendron, the largest genus, is found in forests and attracted to yeast generated slime on the wounds of trees, and likely consumes fermented substances as well as fungi and microorganisms. Several additional genera and species are known from the fossil record. Nosodendridae is considered to be an isolated lineage within Polyphaga, being the sister group to the clade containing Staphyliniformia, Bostrichoidea and Cucujiformia.
Dasycerinae is a subfamily of rove beetles. Dasycerinae currently only contains 1 extant genus and 3 extinct genera.
Claviger is a genus of beetles in the family Staphylinidae, subfamily Pselaphinae. About 40 species and subspecies are described, divided into two subgenera, Claviger (Claviger) and Claviger (Clavifer). Claviger displays unusual biological adaptations to myrmecophily. This pselaphid is of palearctic distribution.
