Platypsyllinae is a subfamily of the family Leiodidae, known as mammal-nest beetles. The group was formerly known as the family Leptinidae but the name Platypsyllidae had seniority, and is now ranked as a subfamily. [1]
Staphylinoidea is a superfamily of beetles. It is a very large and diverse group with worldwide distribution.
