Ochthebiinae is a subfamily of minute moss beetles in the family Hydraenidae. There are about 14 genera and more than 650 described species in Ochthebiinae. [1] [2] [3]
These 14 genera belong to the subfamily Ochthebiinae:
Staphylinoidea is a superfamily of beetles. It is a very large and diverse group with worldwide distribution.
Hydraenidae is a family of very small aquatic beetles, sometimes called "Minute moss beetles", with a worldwide distribution. They are around 0.8 to 3.3 mm in length. The adults store air on the underside of the body as well as beneath the elytra which allows them to crawl underwater, often on the underside of the water surface tension, though they cannot swim. Some species have gills that effectively allow them to stay underwater indefinitely. Larvae vary from being fully terrestrial, to being aquatic at least in their earliest instars. The diet of hydraenid larvae and adults is thought to consist of algae, spores and other plant matter. At least some hydraenid adults use stridulation to communicate. There are around 1,300 species in 42 genera.
Histerinae is a subfamily of clown beetles in the family Histeridae. There are more than 140 genera and 2,000 described species in Histerinae.
Cholevinae is a subfamily of small carrion beetles in the family Leiodidae. There are more than 260 genera and 1,100 described species in Cholevinae.
Haeteriinae is a subfamily of clown beetles in the family Histeridae. There are more than 110 genera and 330 described species in Haeteriinae.
Elminae is a subfamily of riffle beetles in the family Elmidae. There are at least 120 genera and more than 1,300 described species in Elminae.
Onthophilinae is a subfamily of clown beetles in the family Histeridae. There are about 8 genera and at least 80 described species in Onthophilinae.
Hydraena is a genus of minute moss beetles in the family Hydraenidae. There are more than 990 described species in Hydraena.
Tribalinae is a subfamily of clown beetles in the family Histeridae. There are about 11 genera and more than 220 described species in Tribalinae.

Ochthebius marinus, the marine moss beetle, is a species of minute moss beetle in the family Hydraenidae. It is found in Europe and Northern Asia, North America, and Southern Asia.
Trypanaeinae is a subfamily of clown beetles in the family Histeridae. There are at least 3 genera and more than 70 described species in Trypanaeinae.
Larainae is a subfamily of riffle beetles in the family Elmidae. There are more than 20 genera and 160 described species in Larainae.
