“… The carrion beetle family Silphidae ( Silpha ) and Tachyporinae might be sister groups, whereas Mycetoporinae forms a sister group relationship with Olisthaerinae. These results support the polyphyly of the Tachyporine Group of subfamilies consistent with several previous studies (e.g., [ 6 , 7 , 196 ]). Nevertheless, further study is needed to corroborate these hypotheses.…”

“…Tachyporini in the traditional sense has been the most problematic tribe among the tachyporine tribes; it has been inferred to be paraphyletic without any synapomorphy for a long time. Such a conclusion was drawn from both morphological and molecular evidence [ 6 , 7 , 25 , 27 , 28 , 196 ]. Compared to above mentioned Ashe & Newton [ 27 ] and Herman [ 25 ], more data were used in Ashe [ 28 ] to investigate the internal relationships within the Tachyporine Group of subfamilies based on 133 adult characters and 27 larval characters.…”

“…The newly recognized subfamily Mycetoporinae stat. nov. is apparently monophyletic, but with uncertainty about its sister taxon with a handful recent studies assessing its phylogenetic position [ 6 , 7 , 196 ]. Indeed, McKenna et al [ 6 ] showed conflicting phylogenetic relationships between the Bayesian and maximum likelihood analyses.…”

“…Abdominal tergite IX, male, ventral struts (modified from Ashe [ 28 ]: character 71) (dorsal and ventral views): (0) absent (Figures 20F and 33A); (1) present (Figure 72C); (2) not confirmed due to highly modified structures of genital segments. The ventral struts here refer to the structure of anteriorly directed extra extensions of male tergite IX as figured in Klimaszewski et al ([ 196 ]: Figure 3.5). In most cases, the presence of ventral struts is tightly associated with the following character 119 (i.e., 119-0), but they are different characters because I here considered extra extensions only and did not consider medial connection of the anteroventral margins of the halves of tergite IX.…”

Tachyporinae are one of the most phylogenetically problematic subfamilies in the mega-diverse rove beetle family Staphylinidae. Despite its high diversity and abundance in forest micro-environments, with over 1600 species worldwide, several previous studies had refuted the monophyly of this subfamily and its largest tribe, Tachyporini. Based on the results of morphology-based phylogenetic analyses and direct examination of specimens encompassing two extinct and all forty extant genera, a new suprageneric classification of Tachyporinae is proposed here, with the removal of the tribe Mycetoporini into a newly recognized subfamily Mycetoporinae stat. nov. Four tribes with two subtribes are arranged within Tachyporinae sensu nov.: Tachyporini sensu nov. (Tachyporina stat. nov., sensu nov. and Euconosomatina stat. rev., sensu nov.), Vatesini sensu nov., Deropini, and Tachinusini stat. rev., sensu nov. (= Megarthropsini syn. nov.). Urolitus syn. nov. is placed as a junior synonym of Sepedophilus, and Palporus stat. nov. is raised to a distinct genus from a subgenus of Tachyporus sensu. nov., and †Mesotachyporus syn. nov. is treated as synonym of the latter. Mycetoporine Bobitobus stat. rev. is resurrected from synonymy with Lordithon sensu nov., and considered as a valid genus. My revised classification provides a novel framework for taxonomic inventories and ecological studies of these groups.

Postglacial dispersal and colonization processes have shaped community patterns in sub‐Arctic regions such as Churchill, Manitoba, and Canada. This study investigates evolutionary community structure within the beetle (Coleoptera) families of Churchill and tests whether biological traits have played a role in governing colonization patterns from refugial and southerly geographic regions. This study quantifies sub‐Arctic beetle phylogenetic community structure for each family using the net relatedness index (NRI) and nearest taxon index (NTI), calculated using publicly available data from the Barcode of Life Data Systems (BOLD); compares patterns across families with different traits (habitat, diet) using standard statistical analysis (ANOVA) as well as phylogenetic generalized least squares (PGLS) using a family‐level beetle phylogeny obtained from the literature; and compares community structure in Churchill with a region in southern Canada (Guelph, Ontario). These analyses were also repeated at a genus level. The dominant pattern detected in our study was that aquatic families were much better represented in Churchill compared to terrestrial families, when compared against richness sampled from across Canada and Alaska. Individually, most families showed significant phylogenetic clustering in Churchill, likely due to the strong environmental filtering present in Arctic environments. There was no significant difference in phylogenetic structure between Churchill and Guelph but with a trend toward stronger clustering in the North. Fungivores were significantly more overdispersed than other feeding modes, predators were significantly more clustered, and aquatic families showed significantly stronger clustering compared to terrestrial. This study contributes to our understanding of the traits and processes structuring insect biodiversity and macroecological trends in the sub‐Arctic.
