Aloconota
Aloconota is a genus of rove beetles (family Staphylinidae) in the tribe Geostibini, subfamily Aleocharinae. The genus was established by Carl Gustaf Thomson in 1858. It has a cosmopolitan distribution with records from Europe, including Denmark, Norway, and Sweden. Six species are currently recognized: A. currax, A. debilicornis, A. gregaria, A. insecta, A. planifrons, and A. sulcifrons.
Aloconota neocambrica
Variable Minute Rove Beetle
Aloconota neocambrica is a minute rove beetle in the family Staphylinidae, subfamily Aleocharinae, described from eastern Canada in 2011. It belongs to the tribe Geostibini, a group of small aleocharines associated with forest floor habitats. The species epithet "neocambrica" references New Brunswick, indicating the type locality region. As a recently described species, detailed biological information remains limited.
Callicerus
Callicerus is a genus of rove beetles (Staphylinidae: Aleocharinae) in the tribe Geostibini. The genus contains seven recognized species distributed across the Palaearctic region, particularly Europe. Species are notably rare to extremely rare in collections, with most records limited to scattered localities. Taxonomic revision in 2001 clarified species boundaries and synonymized several previously described taxa.
Earota
Earota is a genus of rove beetles in the family Staphylinidae, subfamily Aleocharinae, tribe Geostibini. The genus was established by Mulsant and Rey in 1873. As a member of Geostibini, Earota belongs to a group of aleocharine rove beetles often associated with soil and ground-dwelling habitats. The genus contains relatively few described species and remains poorly studied in comparison to more speciose aleocharine genera.
Earota dentata
Earota dentata is a small rove beetle in the family Staphylinidae, subfamily Aleocharinae. First described by Bernhauer in 1906 under the name Atheta dentata, this species is currently placed in the genus Earota within the tribe Geostibini. It has a broad transcontinental distribution across North America, with records from Canada and the United States spanning multiple provinces and states.
Seeversiella globicollis
A small rove beetle (Staphylinidae: Aleocharinae) distributed from southern Canada through the United States to Honduras. Originally described as Atheta globicollis in 1907, the species was transferred to Seeversiella in a 2006 revision that synonymized S. bispinosa with it. The genus Seeversiella is primarily Nearctic and Neotropical in distribution. No ecological or biological studies of this species have been published.
