“…Our results, which agree with those of Koerner et al (2013: 345) and Lang et al (2015: 20–21), further support the monophyly of the tested infrageneric species groups proposed by Puthz (2008: 139–148). On one hand, this result is not very significant, as only few species of some of these groupings were included in this study.…”

“…Their results supported the monophyletic groups proposed by Puthz (2008: 139–148) and moreover revealed that some species groups of Dianous Leach, 1819, the second genus of the Steninae, actually constitute a monophyletic group within Stenus . The monophyly of some species groups proposed by Puthz (2008: 141–147) was also supported by Lang et al (2015: 21). We performed a preliminary investigation on the intra- and interspecific genetic diversity of some Iranian Stenus to test the validity of the traditional classification of this genus by sequencing the “DNA Barcode” region of the mitochondrial COI gene of these species.…”

“…The multifunctional secretion of the pygidial glands is species-specific and acts as a survival factor against predators. This character has been used in illuminating several evolutionary trends (Schierling et al 2013: 48, 51) and presumably is a character adaptive to the habitat where the species live (Lang et al 2015: 22).…”

In this study, the genetic diversity of Iranian populations of two widespread Stenus species representing two ecomorphological forms, the “open living species” Stenus erythrocnemus Eppelsheim, 1884 and the “stratobiont” Stenus callidus Baudi di Selve, 1848, is presented using data from a fragment of the mitochondrial COI gene. We evaluate the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase I haplotypes and the intraspecific genetic distance of these two species. Our results reveal a very low diversity of COI sequences in Stenus erythrocnemus in contrast to Stenus callidus. Moreover, the COI based phylogeny of a selection of Iranian Stenus support the monophyly of some species groups of Stenus proposed by Puthz (2008) and contradicts the traditional infrageneric classification.

“…However, their result cannot be considered fully reliable since it was based on a single mitochondrial gene (COI). The most recent molecular-based analysis by Lang et al 7. using three genes (COI, 16 S rRNA, histone H3) confirmed Koerner et al 24.…”

Stenus is the largest genus of rove beetles and the second largest among animals. Its evolutionary success was associated with the adhesive labial prey-capture apparatus, a unique apomorphy of that genus. Definite Stenus with prey-capture apparatus are known from the Cenozoic fossils, while the age and early evolution of Steninae was hardly ever hypothesized. Our study of several Cretaceous Burmese amber inclusions revealed a stem lineage of Steninae that possibly possesses the Stenus-like prey-capture apparatus. Phylogenetic analysis of extinct and extant taxa of Steninae and putatively allied subfamilies of Staphylinidae with parsimony and Bayesian approaches resolved the Burmese amber lineage as a member of Steninae. It justified the description of a new extinct stenine genus Festenus with two new species, F. robustus and F. gracilis. The Late Cretaceous age of Festenus suggests an early origin of prey-capture apparatus in Steninae that, perhaps, drove the evolution towards the crown Stenus. Our analysis confirmed the well-established sister relationships between Steninae and Euaesthetinae and resolved Scydmaeninae as their next closest relative, the latter having no stable position in recent phylogenetic studies of rove beetles. Close affiliation of Megalopsidiinae, a subfamily often considered as a sister group to Euaesthetinae + Steninae clade, is rejected.
