Guides
Brachycepsis
Brachycepsis is a genus of minute rove beetles in the subfamily Scydmaeninae, established by Brendel in 1889. Members of this genus belong to the tribe Stenichnini, a group characterized by small body size and specialized ecological associations. The genus is part of the diverse Staphylinidae family, one of the largest beetle families. Limited species-level information is available in public databases.
Catalinus
Catalinus is a genus of minute rove beetles (family Staphylinidae, subfamily Scydmaeninae) established by Casey in 1897. Members of this genus belong to the tribe Stenichnini, a group of small beetles often associated with forest floor habitats and microhabitats such as leaf litter and decaying wood. The genus is poorly documented in public sources, with only three observations recorded on iNaturalist as of the knowledge cutoff.
Microscydmus
Microscydmus is a genus of minute rove beetles in the subfamily Scydmaeninae, characterized by their small size and reduced elytra typical of the family Staphylinidae. The genus was established by Saulcy & Croissandeau in 1893 and contains species distributed across Europe, Australia, and North America. Taxonomic revisions have transferred some previously assigned species to other genera, such as Microscydmus trianguliceps to Afroeudesis. Members of this genus belong to the tribe Stenichnini within the ant-like stone beetle subfamily.
