Xantholinini is a tribe of rove beetle. [2] [3]
Xantholinini are small- to medium-sized short-winged beetles (from 2 mm to 2 cm) that are long and slender, short-legged, and shiny. The head is relatively long and narrow. Xantholinini live on the ground, in bedding, under rocks. The narrow body shape and short legs make them suitable for moving through narrow aisles. They are predatory beetles that eat other small arthropods. The tribe Xantholinini is represented in all zoogeographical regions. [3] [4] [5]
