“…Since there is no morphology‐based phylogenetic analysis targeting the higher‐level classification of Paederinae, the first morphological matrix was specifically developed for this study. Character selection was based on an intense literature search (Herman , , ; Abarbanell & Ashe ; Frania Frisch et al . ; Frisch ; Schomann & Solodovnikov ) and personal observations and ideas.…”

Total‐evidence approach reveals an extinct lineage of Paederinae rove beetles from Cretaceous Burmese amber

The fossil record contains vital information about the evolution of lineages and is a source of data that cannot be reconciled other than by the direct observation of morphologies. Total‐evidence phylogenetic reconstruction is being increasingly used to assess the position of extinct taxa by incorporating morphological data from extinct and extant taxa together with molecular data from extant taxa in a united framework. Here we apply the method to two Cretaceous Burmese amber inclusions belonging to the rove beetle subfamily Paederinae. To perform the total evidence analysis, we constructed the first morphological matrix and the most comprehensive molecular dataset for the subfamily. Our analysis reveals an extinct lineage of Paederinae rove beetles with a suite of unique morphological characters, resulting in the description of a new genus: Diminudon gen. nov. and two new species: D. schomannae sp. nov. and D. kachinensis sp. nov. Simultaneously our analyses provide new insights into the evolution and classification of the entire subfamily. We also discuss the unusually small size of the newly described Paederinae, which may represent an additional case for miniaturization in the Cretaceous.

“…A more formal phylogenetic approach to the study of the Paederini classification was applied in the generic revisions of Herman (, subtribe Dolicaonina, Paederini; , subtribe Cylindroxystina, Paederini; , subtribe Procirrina, Pinophilini), the studies on Stilicina by Frania (,b) and the studies on the Afrotropical Cryptobiina by Drugmand () or Drugmand & Wauthy (). All of these works, even Herman's () very substantial and global in terms of the number of carefully studied genera, were too narrow for any conclusions about phylogeny of Paederinae in general.…”

Phylogenetic placement of the austral rove beetle genus Hyperomma triggers changes in classification of Paederinae (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae)

Sister‐group relationships are resolved for the systematically and biogeographically puzzling austral rove beetle genus Hyperomma by means of phylogenetic analysis of five gene markers (one mitochondrial and four nuclear protein‐coding) for 25 taxa broadly representing the subfamily Paederinae, and six outgroup taxa from Staphylininae and Pseudopsinae. As a result, the new subtribe Dicaxina subtrib. nov. is established for Hyperomma and five other Southern Hemisphere genera previously classified in Cryptobiina. Based on the molecular phylogeny and the discussion of several adult and larval morphological characters, the concept of the tribe Paederini is changed as follows: Paederini sensu novo is reduced to include Paederina, Cryptobiina, Dolicaonina and Dicaxina only, while Lathrobiini sensu novo is established for Lathrobiina, Scopaeina, Astenina, Stilicopsina, Medonina, Stilicina and Echiasterina. The tribe Cylindroxystini stat. resurr. is reinstated for the Paederini subtribe Cylindroxystina because of its very peculiar morphology not fitting either Paederini or Lathrobiini in new sense. The tribe Pinophilini was resolved as sister to Lathrobiini sensu novo, and its status remains unchanged. Morphological diagnoses and other relevant systematic information are provided for all newly established taxa. The taxonomic history of the higher‐level systematics of the subfamily Paederinae is summarized.

“…Furthermore, the ornamentation of the vulvar plate was too complex to render in adequate detail with line drawings. As in earlier studies (Herman, 1970(Herman, , 1972(Herman, , 1986(Herman, , 2003(Herman, , 2010, I could have used the scanning electron microscope (SEM), but the material in this case presented special problems. To use the SEM a specimen is attached with an adhesive to a stub from which the specimen is difficult or impossible to remove, coated with a permanent conductive coating, and placed in a vacuum where it dehydrates.…”
