  • Cephenniini

    Cephenniini is a tribe of minute rove beetles within the subfamily Scydmaeninae (Staphylinidae). The tribe was first described by Reitter in 1882 and contains the genera Cephennodes and Cephennomicrus. These beetles are distributed across the Afrotropical, Oriental, and Australasian regions, with records from Africa, Madagascar, Indian Ocean islands, Southeast Asia, China, Taiwan, Japan, Papua New Guinea, Australia, and Pacific islands. Recent taxonomic work has documented first records in South Africa, Christmas Island, and the Philippines.
