Cilea
Cilea is a genus of rove beetles (Staphylinidae: Tachyporinae: Vatesini) established by Jacquelin du Val in 1856. The genus has been taxonomically confused with Leucoparyphus Kraatz, and its priority over that name has been established. In North America north of Mexico, only Cilea silphoides (Linnaeus) is present. The genus is distinguished from the related genus Coproporus by morphological characters including male genitalia structure.
Coproporus
Coproporus is a genus of rove beetles in the family Staphylinidae, subfamily Tachyporinae, tribe Vatesini. The genus has a cosmopolitan distribution with records from North America, Europe, and South America. Taxonomic revision has clarified confused generic usage and resolved synonymies, particularly distinguishing Coproporus from the related genus Cilea. Nine species occur in North America north of Mexico, with additional species documented from Mexico, Panama, Argentina, and Brazil.
