Staphylinoidea

Staphylinoidea sunt superfamilia coleopterorum, magnus diversusque grex cosmopolitus.

Proprietates
Plurima staphylinoidea sunt coleoptera magnitudinis mediocris pari elytrorum imminutorum praedita. Alae posteriores accessario iugo posteriori, cellulá cuneatá, et cellulá apicá carent. Segmentum octavum a segmento septimo non omnino invaginatur. Caput plerumque suturá coronali caret.M.
