Thomson-1858

Guides

• Amarochara

  A genus of rove beetles (Staphylinidae: Aleocharinae: Oxypodini) established by C.G. Thomson in 1858. The genus comprises approximately 25 valid species distributed across the Holarctic region, with the majority described or redescribed in a comprehensive 2002 revision. Holarctic species are organized into five species groups based on phylogenetic analysis, replacing the previous subgeneric classification system.

• Trichophyinae

  Trichophyinae is a monotypic subfamily of rove beetles (Staphylinidae) containing only the genus Trichophya. Established by Thomson in 1858, this subfamily represents one of the most species-poor lineages within the hyperdiverse rove beetle family. The genus Trichophya contains multiple described species, though the exact number remains uncertain due to taxonomic revisions. These beetles are rarely encountered and poorly represented in collections.
