They contain the typical rove beetles with their long but fairly robust blunt-headed and -tipped bodies and short elytra, as well as some more unusually-shaped lineages.
==Systematics== [[File:Cafius algophilus.jpg|thumb|right|upright|''Cafius algophilus'' (Staphylinini)]] As it seems, the Staphylininae are part of a large clade together with the subfamilies Euaesthetinae, Leptotyphlinae, Megalopsidiinae, Oxyporinae, Paederinae, Pseudopsinae, Scydmaeninae, Solieriinae, Steninae, and the extinct Protactinae which are only known from fossils.
The numerous Staphylininae genera are divided into six tribes, listed below along with some notable genera. However, a scientific study in 2020 proposed moving all tribes except Staphylinini to other subfamilies and raising several of Staphylinini's subtribes to tribal level.<ref name="Zyla">{{Cite journal |last1=Żyła |first1=Dagmara |last2=Solodovnikov |first2=Alexey |date=2020 |title=Multilocus phylogeny defines a new classification of Staphylininae (Coleoptera, Staphylinidae), a rove beetle group with high lineage diversity |url=https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/syen.12382 |journal=Systematic Entomology |language=en |volume=45 |issue=1 |pages=114–127 |doi=10.1111/syen.12382 |s2cid=202029355 |issn=0307-6970|doi-access=free }}</ref> This would result in a new total of twelve tribes: Acylophorini, Afroquediini, Amblyopinini, Antimerini, †Baltognathini, Cyrtoquediini, Erichsoniini, Hyptiomini, Indoquediini, Quediini, Staphylinini and Tanygnathinini.<ref name="Zyla"/> <!-- list species here only if they have an article but no genus article exists yet --> * Coomaniini <small>Żyła & Solodovnikov, 2019</small> ** ''Coomania'' <small>Cameron, 1939</small><ref>{{Cite journal |last=Żyła |first=Dagmara |last2=Solodovnikov |first2=Alexey |date=2019-08-13 |title=Multilocus phylogeny defines a new classification of Staphylininae (Coleoptera, Staphylinidae), a rove beetle group with high lineage diversity |url=https://resjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/syen.12382 |journal=Systematic Entomology |language=en |volume=45 |issue=1 |pages=114–127 |doi=10.1111/syen.12382 |issn=0307-6970|doi-access=free }}</ref> * Diochini <small>Casey, 1906</small> ** ''Antarctothius'' <small>Coiffait & Saiz</small> ** ''Diochus'' <small>Erichson, 1839</small> *** {{extinct}}''Diochus electrus'' <small>Chatzimanolis & Engel, 2011</small> (Lutetian, Baltic amber)<ref name="Chatzimanolis2011">{{Cite journal |last1=Chatzimanolis |first1=S. |last2=Engel |first2=M.
