Diochini is a tribe of rove beetles in the family Staphylinidae. There are at least 2 genera and 84 described species in Diochini. [1] [2]
Coomania was a member of the tribe until 2020, when it was moved to its own monotypic tribe Coomaniini. [1] [3]
The rove beetles are a family (Staphylinidae) of beetles, primarily distinguished by their short elytra that typically leave more than half of their abdominal segments exposed. With over 66,000 species in thousands of genera, the group is the largest family in the beetle order, and one of the largest families of organisms. It is an ancient group, with fossilized rove beetles known from the Triassic, 200 million years ago, and possibly even earlier if the genus Leehermania proves to be a member of this family. They are an ecologically and morphologically diverse group of beetles, and commonly encountered in terrestrial ecosystems.
Staphylininae are a subfamily of rove beetles. They contain the typical rove beetles with their long but fairly robust blunt-headed and -tipped bodies and short elytra, as well as some more unusually-shaped lineages.
Diochus electrus is an extinct species of rove beetle in genus Diochus, the only definitive fossil species in subfamily Staphylininae. The species is known only from the middle Eocene, Lutetian stage Baltic amber found in the Blaue Erde deposits, Baltic region, Northern Europe.
The Aleocharinae are one of the largest subfamilies of rove beetles, containing over 12,000 species. Previously subject to large-scale debate whether the subfamily deserved the familial status, it is now considered one of the largest subfamilies of rove beetles.
Darwinilus sedarisi is a species of rove beetle, the only species in the genus Darwinilus. It is named after Charles Darwin and David Sedaris. It is found in Argentina. A specimen of the beetle was collected by Charles Darwin in 1832 during the voyage of HMS Beagle, but not formally named as a new species until 2014.
Staphylinini is a tribe of large rove beetles in the family Staphylinidae. There are at least 20 genera and 120 described species in Staphylinini.
Falagriini is a tribe of rove beetles in the family Staphylinidae. There are about 11 genera and at least 20 described species in Falagriini.
Diochus schaumii is a species of beetle of the Staphylinidae family, Staphylininae subfamily.
Diochus adisii is a species of beetle of the Staphylinidae family, Staphylininae subfamily. It's found in Brazil.
Diochus amazonensis is a species of beetle of the Staphylinidae family, Staphylininae subfamily. It's found in Brazil.
Diochus staudingeri is a species of beetle of the Staphylinidae family, Staphylininae subfamily.
Diochus angustiformis is a species of beetle of the Staphylinidae family, Staphylininae subfamily.
Diochus antennalis is a species of beetle of the Staphylinidae family, Staphylininae subfamily.
Diochus antennatus is a species of beetle of the Staphylinidae family, Staphylininae subfamily.
Diochus apicipennis is a species of beetle of the Staphylinidae family, Staphylininae subfamily.
Diochus argentinae is a species of beetle of the Staphylinidae family, Staphylininae subfamily. It's found in Brazil and Argentina.
Diochus astutus is a species of beetle of the Staphylinidae family, Staphylininae subfamily. It's found in South Africa.
Diochus bicolor is a species of beetle of the Staphylinidae family, Staphylininae subfamily. It's found in South Africa.
Antarctothius is a genus of rove beetles in the family Staphylinidae, subfamily Staphylininae.
Coomania tonkinensis is a species of beetle of the Staphylinidae family, Staphylininae subfamily. It was first described by Malcolm Cameron to the tribe Diochini, but in 2020 moved to its own tribe Coomaniini. The species is found in Vietnam and Sabah, Malaysia.
The morphology of Coomania is peculiar. While it was previously placed in Diochini, it differs markedly from Diochus in the broad and strongly trapezoidal head (though with an exceptionally narrow neck, as in Diochus), broad pronotum, and a generally parallel-sided body. It further differs from all Staphylininae in having a cylindrical abdomen without paratergites [39]. Based on its distinctiveness, the genus was recently placed in its own subfamily by Żyła and Solodovnikov [21].
