Introduction
This section of the Australian Faunal Directory contains details of several of the beetle families assigned to Staphylinoidea, but as yet, not the very large group within the Staphylinidae, the Staphylinae. Included at present are the Hydraenidae, small aquatic to semi-aquatic beetles; the Ptiliidae, commonly known as feather-wing beetles; the Silphidae, carrion or burrowing beetles; and the staphylinid subfamily, Pselaphidae, ant-like litter beetles.
Database Notes
Only a small number of the taxa in this superfamily have been databased as yet for the Australian Faunal Directory. Others will be added as they become available.
