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.
Staphylinoidea is a superfamily of beetles. It is a very large and diverse group with worldwide distribution.
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.
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.
The Euaesthetinae are a subfamily of the Staphylinidae (Coleoptera). These rove beetles have slender antennae with two or three apical antennomeres forming a loose club. The tarsi have 4-4-4 or 5-5-5 segments. They are found in forest litter. Five genera and 22 species known from North America.
Piestinae are a subfamily of Staphylinidae.
Carpelimus aridus is a species in the subfamily Oxytelinae, in the suborder Polyphaga . It is found in the Caribbean.
Bledius annularis, or ringed borrow rove beetle, is a species of spiny-legged rove beetle in the family Staphylinidae. It is found in North America.
Falagriini is a tribe of rove beetles in the family Staphylinidae. There are about 11 genera and at least 20 described species in Falagriini.
Medon is a genus of rove beetles in the family Staphylinidae. There are at least 60 described species in Medon.
Anthophagini is a tribe of ocellate rove beetles in the family Staphylinidae. There are at least 20 genera and 20 described species in Anthophagini.
Mycetoporini is a tribe of crab-like rove beetles in the family Staphylinidae. There are about 8 genera and at least 20 described species in Mycetoporini.
Phloeonomus is a genus of ocellate rove beetles in the family Staphylinidae. There are about eight described species in Phloeonomus.
Oxytelini is a tribe of spiny-legged rove beetles in the family Staphylinidae. There are about 11 genera and at least 20 described species in Oxytelini.
Anotylus is a genus of spiny-legged rove beetles in the family Staphylinidae. There are more than 90 described species in Anotylus.
Pinophilini is a tribe of rove beetles in the family Staphylinidae.
Oxytelus incisus is a species of rove beetle with cosmopolitan distribution across the continents.
