Staphylininae are a subfamily of rove beetles (family Staphylinidae). 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.

Systematics
edit
As it seems, the Staphylininae are part of a large clade together with the subfamilies Euaesthetinae, Leptotyphlinae, Megalopsidiinae, Oxyporinae, Paederinae, Pseudopsinae, Scydmaeninae, Solieriinae, Steninae, and the extinct Protactinae which are only known from fossils.
The numerous Staphylininae genera are divided into six tribes, listed below along with some notable genera. However, a scientific study in 2020 proposed moving all tribes except Staphylinini to other subfamilies and raising several of Staphylinini's subtribes to tribal level.[3] This would result in a new total of twelve tribes: Acylophorini, Afroquediini, Amblyopinini, Antimerini, †Baltognathini, Cyrtoquediini, Erichsoniini, Hyptiomini, Indoquediini, Quediini, Staphylinini and Tanygnathinini.[3]
