Diochini (Casey, 1906) |
Diochini is a tribe of rove beetles in the family Staphylinidae. There are at least 2 genera and 84 described species in Diochini. [1] [2]
Coomania was a member of the tribe until 2020, when it was moved to its own monotypic tribe Coomaniini. [1] [3]
The morphology of Coomania is peculiar. While it was previously placed in Diochini, it differs markedly from Diochus in the broad and strongly trapezoidal head (though with an exceptionally narrow neck, as in Diochus), broad pronotum, and a generally parallel-sided body. It further differs from all Staphylininae in having a cylindrical abdomen without paratergites [39]. Based on its distinctiveness, the genus was recently placed in its own subfamily by Żyła and Solodovnikov [21].
