Guides
Oxyporus elegans
Oxyporus elegans is a species of rove beetle in the family Staphylinidae, described by J.L. LeConte in 1877. It belongs to the subfamily Oxyporinae, a group characterized by their association with fungal habitats. The species is known from limited distribution records in the southern United States.
Oxyporus femoralis
Oxyporus femoralis is a species of rove beetle in the family Staphylinidae, first described by Gravenhorst in 1802. The species belongs to the subfamily Oxyporinae, a group of fungi-associated beetles. It has been recorded across eastern North America from Canada to the southern United States.
Oxyporus kiteleyi
Oxyporus kiteleyi is a rove beetle in the subfamily Oxyporinae, described by Campbell in 1978. The species is known from a limited number of records in eastern North America, spanning from Georgia in the southern United States to Quebec and New Brunswick in Canada. Like other members of Oxyporus, it is likely associated with fungal fruiting bodies, though specific ecological details remain poorly documented. The species is rarely encountered, with only three observations recorded on iNaturalist as of the available data.
Oxyporus lateralis
Oxyporus lateralis is a species of rove beetle in the family Staphylinidae, originally described by Gravenhorst in 1802. The species is currently treated as a synonym of Pseudoxyporus lateralis, reflecting taxonomic revisions within the Oxyporinae subfamily. It is distributed across eastern North America, with records from Canada and the United States. Like other members of Oxyporinae, it is associated with fungal habitats, particularly mushrooms.
Oxyporus major
Oxyporus major is a species of rove beetle in the family Staphylinidae, subfamily Oxyporinae. It is found across eastern North America, from Canada to the southeastern United States. As a member of the Oxyporinae, it is associated with fungal habitats, particularly polypore bracket fungi.
Oxyporus mexicanus
Oxyporus mexicanus is a species of rove beetle (Staphylinidae) in the subfamily Oxyporinae. The genus Oxyporus is characterized by distinctive morphological adaptations for mycophagy, including modified mouthparts for feeding on fungal substrates. This species was described by Fauvel in 1865 and is known from the southwestern United States and Mexico.
Oxyporus quinquemaculatus
A rove beetle in the family Staphylinidae, currently classified under the genus Pseudoxyporus. The species name refers to five spots. This small beetle belongs to the subfamily Oxyporinae, a group of fungi-associated rove beetles.
