Abstract: Description of the Early Cretaceous (Yixian Formation, China) fauna of Staphylininae and Paederinae rove beetles, and a rigorous (maximum parsimony, maximum likelihood and Bayesian inference) phylogenetic analysis of both extinct and extant taxa resulted in the following discoveries: a stem lineage sister to Staphylininae + Paederinae; a new tribe for Staphylininae, Thayeralinini trib. n.; several extinct species of the extant tribe Arrowinini; extinct basal lineages of the extant tribe Staphylinini; two stem … Show more

“…Many of these taxa, with inconspicuous mandibles, were possibly mycophagous or saprophagous, like their modern counterparts. However, there was an apparent radiation of the derived subfamily Staphylininae during the Early Cretaceous (34). Interestingly, a diversity of staphylinines has been recovered from the Yixian Formation and many of them are characterized by very prominent, sharp mandibles ( Fig.…”

“…Potential predators of extant nicrophorine larvae include staphylinine genera such as the Staphylinina Creophilus, Ontholestes, and Platydracus (29); several of the Cretaceous rove beetles (Fig. S7) might have shared this life history, although the known Cretaceous taxa are not closely related to the often carrion-attracted Staphylinina (34). It is possible that the rise of predaceous Staphylininae influenced evolution of coeval silphids, perhaps being critical to the origin of parental investments in stem-group Nicrophorinae.…”

“…Systematic placement within Paederinae of the sole Mesozoic genus Mesostaphylinus , recently assigned to this subfamily, remains untested at a shallower level using phylogenetic analyses (Solodovnikov et al . ). Schomann & Solodovnikov () described the genus Apticax Schomann & Solodovnikov, with two species from the Early Cretaceous Crato Formation in Brazil that, although resembling Paederinae in some characters, were classified as incertae sedis within Staphylinidae due to a lack of convincing data for a more exact placement (Schomann & Solodovnikov ; Solodovnikov et al .…”

“…Staphylinidae (rove beetles) is the biggest family of beetles, with around 60,000 species so far described (Solodovnikov et al 2013). About 45 species of rove beetles are known from the LHI, plus a number of morphospecies identified to genus level (unpublished checklist maintained by C. Reid).…”
