Diaulota fulviventris
Diaulota fulviventris is a flightless intertidal rove beetle in the family Staphylinidae. It is one of two species in a lineage that crossed the Pacific Ocean directly from the northwestern Pacific to the northeastern Pacific, likely via sea surface currents, rather than following the coastal route taken by most congeners. The species occurs in western North America and Mexico.
