Staphylininae

Staphylininae are a subfamily of rove beetles (family Staphylinidae). They contain the typical rove beetles with their long but fairly robust blunt-headed and -tipped bodies and short elytra, as well as some more unusually-shaped lineages.

As it seems, the Staphylininae are part of a large clade together with the subfamilies Euaesthetinae, Leptotyphlinae, Megalopsidiinae, Oxyporinae, Paederinae, Pseudopsinae, Scydmaeninae, Solieriinae, Steninae, and the extinct Protactinae which are only known from fossils.

The numerous Staphylininae genera are divided into six tribes. Some notable genera and species are also listed:

gollark: Mostly I write in higher-level languages but if I want a very fast and stable thing I generally go for Rust.
gollark: And it allows me to do asynchronous IO safely without GC.
gollark: e.
gollark: Rust's excellent metaprogramming capabilities and tagged unions mean I can basically just write the entire skynet protocol as a bunch of enums and have it compile efficient (de)serialization cod.
gollark: But the borrow checker makes movement UTTERLY safe.
