Batrisodes striatus
Batrisodes striatus is a small rove beetle in the family Staphylinidae, subfamily Pselaphinae. It belongs to a diverse genus of minute beetles that inhabit leaf litter and soil environments. The species was originally described by John Lawrence LeConte in 1849 and is distributed across eastern and central North America.
Brachygluta luniger
Brachygluta luniger is a small rove beetle in the family Staphylinidae. The species has been recorded from eastern North America, with distribution records spanning from Canada to the southeastern United States. As with other members of the genus Brachygluta, it is a poorly known species with limited published biological information. The genus belongs to the diverse rove beetle fauna, one of the largest families of beetles.
Decarthron longulum
ant-loving beetle
Decarthron longulum is a small rove beetle in the family Staphylinidae, first described by John Lawrence LeConte in 1849. It belongs to a genus commonly referred to as 'ant-loving beetles' due to their association with ant colonies. The species has been documented across eastern North America, from southern Ontario and Quebec through the northeastern and midwestern United States.
Euplectus confluens
Euplectus confluens is a small rove beetle (family Staphylinidae, subfamily Pselaphinae) described by John Lawrence LeConte in 1849. It belongs to the tribe Euplectini, a group of minute beetles typically found in leaf litter and soil habitats. The species has a broad distribution across eastern and central North America, with records extending from Canada to the southern United States. Like other pselaphine rove beetles, it is presumed to be a predator or scavenger in decomposing organic matter, though specific ecological details remain poorly documented.
