Liparocephalus
Liparocephalus is a genus of rove beetles in the family Staphylinidae, tribe Liparocephalini. The genus contains four described species: L. brevipennis, L. cordicollis, L. litoralis, and L. tokunagai. These beetles are associated with coastal or shoreline habitats, as suggested by the specific epithet 'litoralis' (of the shore) and collection records from the Kuril Islands and Hokkaido.
