Bobitobus kelleyi
Bobitobus kelleyi is a species of rove beetle in the family Staphylinidae, subfamily Mycetoporinae. It is widely distributed across northern North America, with records from numerous Canadian provinces and U.S. states. The species was described by Malkin in 1944 and belongs to a genus within one of the largest families of beetles.
Bryophacis
Bryophacis is a genus of rove beetles (family Staphylinidae, subfamily Mycetoporinae) established by Reitter in 1909. The genus occurs in both the Palearctic and Nearctic regions, with documented species in Europe and North America. North American species were revised taxonomically in 1993, resulting in the description of new species and generic reassignments from related genera.
Bryophacis smetanai
Bryophacis smetanai is a small rove beetle (Staphylinidae: Mycetoporinae) described by Campbell in 1993 as part of a comprehensive taxonomic revision of North American Bryophacis. It belongs to the tribe Bolitobiini, a group of mycophagous staphylinids associated with fungal substrates. The species was established based on morphological examination of specimens from across northern North America.
Bryoporus testaceus
Bryoporus testaceus is a rove beetle (family Staphylinidae, subfamily Mycetoporinae) described by John Lawrence LeConte in 1863. The species exhibits the characteristic abbreviated elytra typical of rove beetles, leaving most of the abdomen exposed. It has been recorded across a broad geographic range in North America, from eastern Canada through the eastern and central United States. Specific ecological details remain limited in published literature.
Carphacis dimidiatus
Carphacis dimidiatus is a species of rove beetle in the family Staphylinidae, subfamily Mycetoporinae. The species was described by Erichson in 1839 and is currently accepted as valid. It is distributed across the eastern and central United States, with records from 16 states ranging from the Mid-Atlantic to the Midwest and Southeast.
Carphacis effrenatus
Carphacis effrenatus is a species of rove beetle described by Herman in 2001. It belongs to the subfamily Mycetoporinae within the family Staphylinidae. The species has been recorded across eastern North America from Canada to the southeastern United States.
Ischnosoma splendidum
Splendid Crab-like Rove Beetle
Ischnosoma splendidum is a rove beetle in the family Staphylinidae, originally described by Gravenhorst in 1806 and later transferred from the genus Mycetoporus to Ischnosoma. It has a broad Holarctic distribution spanning Europe, Asia, and North America. The species belongs to a genus of crab-like rove beetles characterized by their distinctive body form and habitat associations with moist, decaying organic matter.
Lordithon anticus
Lordithon anticus is a rove beetle in the family Staphylinidae, first described by Horn in 1877. The species belongs to the subfamily Mycetoporinae, a group associated with fungal habitats. It has been documented across northeastern North America with scattered records extending into the Midwest. Like other members of its genus, it is presumed to inhabit decaying organic matter, though specific ecological studies are limited.
Lordithon axillaris
Lordithon axillaris is a rove beetle in the family Staphylinidae, distributed across eastern North America from Canada to the southern United States. The species has been recorded in Canadian provinces including New Brunswick and Quebec, and in numerous U.S. states spanning the Midwest, Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, and extending south to Oklahoma and South Carolina. It belongs to the subfamily Mycetoporinae, a group of staphylinids typically associated with fungal habitats.
Lordithon campbelli
Lordithon campbelli is a rove beetle (Staphylinidae) described by Schülke in 2000. It belongs to the subfamily Mycetoporinae, a group associated with fungal habitats. The species is known from scattered records across eastern North America.
Lordithon niger
Black Lordithon Rove Beetle
Lordithon niger is a rove beetle (Staphylinidae: Mycetoporinae) in the genus Lordithon, originally described by Gravenhorst in 1802. A lectotype was designated by Campbell (1982) in his taxonomic revision of North and Central American Lordithon. The species is broadly distributed across eastern North America.
Neobolitobius varians
Neobolitobius varians is a species of rove beetle in the family Staphylinidae, subfamily Mycetoporinae. It was described by Hatch in 1957. The species is known from the Pacific Northwest region of North America, with records from British Columbia, Oregon, and Washington. As a member of the Mycetoporinae, it likely inhabits forest floor environments where these beetles are commonly found. Beyond taxonomic placement and geographic distribution, detailed biological information about this species remains sparse in the available literature.
