Octavius

Octavius er en artsrik slekt av biller som hører til familien kortvinger (Staphylinidae). De er ganske små og spinkle biller som lever på fuktige steder.

Utseende 
Små, spinkle biller, gjerne rundt 2 millimeter lange. Hodet er stort og flatt, fasettøynene er ganske små, runde og sitter nær bakkanten av hodet. Antennene har en tydelig kølle. Brystskjoldet (pronotum) er ganske lite, gjerne med en lengdefure i midten. Dekkvingene er ganske korte, og beina er korte og spinkle.

Levevis 
Billene kan finnes på bakken på litt fuktige steder i skog.

Utbredelse 
Slekten er utbredt i varme områder rundt hele Jorda.
