Stilicopsina
Stilicopsina is a subtribe of rove beetles (Staphylinidae) established by Casey in 1905, classified within the tribe Lathrobiini and subfamily Paederinae. As a subtribe, it represents a grouping of genera sharing derived morphological characteristics that distinguish them from other Lathrobiini. The subtribe is part of the megadiverse Staphylinidae family, one of the largest families of organisms. Species within Stilicopsina are small to medium-sized beetles with the characteristic reduced elytra and exposed abdominal segments typical of rove beetles. The subtribe has been documented in iNaturalist with over 100 observations, indicating some level of field detectability.
