• Athetini

  Athetini is a large tribe of rove beetles (Staphylinidae: Aleocharinae) comprising at least 50 genera and 430 described species. The tribe is taxonomically complex, with ongoing research into its limits and internal relationships; it was not recovered as monophyletic in molecular phylogenetic studies. Multiple independent origins of coastal habitat specialization have been documented within the tribe.

• Liparocephalus

  Liparocephalus is a genus of rove beetles in the family Staphylinidae, tribe Liparocephalini. The genus contains four described species: L. brevipennis, L. cordicollis, L. litoralis, and L. tokunagai. These beetles are associated with coastal or shoreline habitats, as suggested by the specific epithet 'litoralis' (of the shore) and collection records from the Kuril Islands and Hokkaido.
