Family Staphylinidae

The rove beetles

Prepared by Randall W. Lundgren, reviewed and supplemented by J.H. Frank, J.M. Campbell, A.F. Newton, M.K Thayer, and A. Smetana.

The classification and composition of the Staphylinidae have undergone significant changes in recent years (Newton and Thayer 1992, Lawrence and Newton 1995). An attempt has been made to follow these changes in the following list. With these and other published changes and additions, the 324 species in 122 genera listed by Frank (1986) (excluding Pselaphidae, Micropeplidae, Scaphidiidae, etc.) now total 399 species in 130 genera. Of those, seven are reported here for the first time. The total fauna was estimated by Frank (1986) to be at least 450 species. Frank and Thomas (1991) give a summary of the major groups in Florida. Most species ranges are not yet well enough known but most are widespread in the southeastern United States. If distributions are not available from recent revisions, we give distributional data from Moore and Legner (1975).

Literature cited is restricted to references not listed in Frank (1986) or those with an especially strong relevance to Florida. See the Appendix for species excluded from the Florida fauna.
