“…Within ‘Staphylinini propria’, with single exceptions (e.g. Solodovnikov & Schomann 2009), morphology‐based analyses confirm the monophyly of the formally recognized subtribes Staphylinina, Philonthina and Xanthopygina (the latter only as far as the Neotropical fauna is concerned, see Chatzimanolis 2008; Chatzimanolis & Ashe 2009; Solodovnikov 2009). But it casts doubts on the monophyly of Anisolinina, and it does not provide enough data to conclude about the status of the subtribe Eucibdelina that presumably is nested within Staphylinina.…”

“…Although its monophyly has not been rigorously tested, preliminary morphological data suggest that the Neotropical core of this subtribe may be a monophyletic group. Non‐Neotropical genera that hitherto have been placed in Xanthopygina likely belong to other lineages of Staphylinini (Solodovnikov 2009).…”

Chatzimanolis, S., Cohen, I. M., Schomann, A. & Solodovnikov, A. (2010). Molecular phylogeny of the mega‐diverse rove beetle tribe Staphylinini (Insecta, Coleoptera, Staphylinidae). —Zoologica Scripta, 39, 436–449. Phylogeny of the rove beetle tribe Staphylinini is explored by parsimony and Bayesian analyses of sequences of four genes (COI, wingless, Topoisomerase I, and 28S) for 43 ingroup (various genera of Staphylinini) and eight outgroup (two genera of Paederinae, six genera of other tribes of Staphylininae) taxa. Analyses were conducted for each gene independently and for the concatenated data set. Results of the most robust combined analyses were compared with the morphology‐based phylogenies of Staphylinini (‘test phylogeny’), and with the conventional classification of this tribe. Molecular results were congruent with the ‘test phylogeny’ in the following: ancestors of Staphylinini were ‘Quediina‐like’ lineages; formal subtribe Quediina mixes at least two relatively basal groups, ‘Quediina propria’ and ‘southern Quediina’; specialized subtribe Amblyopinina is an internal clade within ‘southern Quediina’; a relatively deeply nested ‘Staphylinini propria’ that unites current subtribes Staphylinina, Eucibdelina, Anisolinina, Xanthopygina and Philonthina is well supported as a monophyletic group. In strong contrast with morphology, molecular data place the tribes Othiini and Xantholinini nested within Staphylinini. Molecular results strongly conflict with morphology by uniting morphologically very different genera Holisus and Atanygnathus in one clade that has uncertain position within Staphylinini. Consistently with the most congruent areas of the morphology‐ and molecular‐based phylogenies, taxonomic changes are implemented for the formal subtribes Quediina and Amblyopinina.

“…Whereas Sharp (1876Sharp ( , 1884 had described Xanthopygina from a core group of Neotropical genera, many subsequent authors misinterpreted his descriptions and did not examine his types: Bernhauer & Schubert (1914) added a number of genera from the Nearctic, Cameron (1932), Scheerpeltz (1940), Blackwelder (1943, 1944, Sawada (1961), andSmetana (1977) added more genera to the Xanthopygina from the Palearctic, Oriental and Afrotropical regions that rendered the subtribe polyphyletic. The taxonomy was in such a poor state that during the 1980s several revisions of 'Xanthopygina' appeared dealing with the Oriental species (Naomi, 1982, (Herman, 2001) and papers (Hayashi, 1993(Hayashi, , 1997Smetana & Davies, 2000;Schillhammer, 2002Schillhammer, , 2004Schillhammer, , 2009Solodovnikov, 2009) have begun to clarify the generic composition of Xanthopygina. All non-Neotropical genera that used to be assigned to Xanthopygina are currently placed in other subtribes (Table 1).…”

The rove beetle subtribe Xanthopygina (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae: Staphylininae: Staphylinini) is a species‐rich group of 27 neotropical genera that contains some of the largest and most brightly coloured of all staphylinid beetles. The monophyly of the subtribe has never been tested before, using a large dataset of taxa and genes. Bayesian and maximum likelihood analyses are used on individual genes (COI, 28S rDNA, wingless, arginine kinase, CAD and topoisomerase I) and the partitioned concatenated dataset to test for monophyly and examine the relationships among Xanthopygina genera. Xanthopygina (excluding Philothalpus) are shown to be a monophyletic group with strong support values. The genus Philothalpus is removed from Xanthopygina and placed in the tribe Staphylinini as incertae sedis. Four distinct clades of Xanthopygina genera are recognized. The origin of Xanthopygina is hypothesized to be in the Late Cretaceous or later and the origin of myrmecophilous adaptations is discussed.

“…These are the genera Taxiplagus Bernhauer, 1915 (= Prionophilonthus Scheerpeltz, 1974; = Quediosoma Cameron, 1926) (Philonthina); Prianophtalmus Bernhauer, 1932, Trigonopalpus Cameron, 1951 and Xanthopygoides Verdcour, 1952 (all in Xanthopygina). Revision of Xanthopygoides revealed its synonymy with the genus Philonthus Stephens, 1829 (Philonthina) (Solodovnikov, 2009). Preliminary examination of Taxiplagus , Prianophtalmus and Trigonopalpus suggested that they are also related to the current Philonthina (or ‘Philonthina propria’ lineage here).…”

Quediina, a mega-diverse conventional subtribe of the rove beetle tribe Staphylinini, is remarkably species rich in the north and south temperate regions of the world. Tropical faunas of this group, and the fauna of the entire Afrotropical biogeographical region (¼ Ethiopian region, ¼ sub-Saharan Africa), in contrast, are remarkably poor. The taxonomic study of the quediine genera of Staphylinini from the Afrotropical region reveals misidentifications for many of them. Their phylogenetic study demonstrates polyphyly of Quediina and reveals a new evolutionary pattern for the entire tribe Staphylinini. In particular, the formerly quediine genera
