Guides
Lathropinus
Lathropinus is a genus of rove beetles in the family Staphylinidae, subfamily Paederinae, and tribe Pinophilini. The genus was established by Sharp in 1886. Species in this genus are small, elongate beetles with the characteristic abbreviated elytra of rove beetles, leaving most of the abdomen exposed. As members of Pinophilini, they are likely associated with forest floor habitats, though specific ecological details remain poorly documented.
Palaminus
Palaminus is a genus of rove beetles (family Staphylinidae) containing approximately 16 described species. The genus was established by Erichson in 1839 and belongs to the subfamily Paederinae, tribe Pinophilini. Rove beetles in this genus exhibit the characteristic elongated body and short elytra typical of Staphylinidae.
Pinophilus latipes
Pinophilus latipes is a species of rove beetle (family Staphylinidae) in the subfamily Paederinae, described by Gravenhorst in 1802. The genus name Pinophilus suggests an association with conifers (from Latin 'pinus' for pine and 'philus' for loving), though specific ecological details for this species are limited in available sources. It is recorded across eastern North America from Canada through the eastern and central United States.
