The tribe comprises ten extant and extinct genera, including Cilea, Coproporus, Vatesus, and the fossil genus †Procileoporus. Members are small to medium-sized beetles with the characteristic abbreviated elytra of Staphylinidae. The tribe has accumulated over 1,600 observations on iNaturalist, indicating moderate documentation of its species in the field.
