Brachyglutini
Brachyglutini is a tribe of rove beetles in the subfamily Pselaphinae (family Staphylinidae). These beetles are minute, typically measuring 1–2 mm in length, and exhibit the characteristic compact body form and reduced elytra typical of pselaphine rove beetles. The tribe was established by Raffray in 1904 and contains numerous genera distributed across multiple continents. Members of this tribe are primarily found in forest litter and soil habitats where they function as micro-predators or scavengers.
