The megadiverse subfamily Staphylininae traditionally belonged to the best-defined rove beetle taxa, but the advent of molecular phylogenetics in the last decade has brought turbulent changes to the group's classification. Here, we reevaluate the internal relationships among the tribes of Staphylininae by implementing tree inference methods that suppress common sources of systematic error. In congruence with morphological data, and in contrast to some previous phylogenetic studies, we unambiguously recover Staphylininae and Paederinae as monophyletic in the traditional sense. We show that the recently proposed subfamily Platyprosopinae (Arrowinus and Platyprosopus) is a phylogenetic artefact and reinstate Arrowinus as a member of Arrowinini stat. res. and Platyprosopus as a member of Platyprosopini stat. res. We show that several recent changes to the internal classification of the subfamily are phylogenetically unjustified and systematically unnecessary. We, therefore, reestablish Platyprosopini, Staphylinini, and Xantholinini as tribes within Staphylininae (all stat. res.) and recognize Coomaniini as a tribe (stat. nov.) rather than subfamily. Consequently, the traditional ranks of the subtribes Acylophorina, Afroquediina, Amblyopinina, Antimerina, †Baltognathina, Cyrtoquediina, Erichsoniina, Hyptiomina, Indoquediina, Quediina, and Tanygnathinina are restored (all stat. res.). We review the current classification of Staphylininae and discuss sources of incongruence in multigene phylogenies.

新数据，旧故事：分子数据阐明了葡萄球菌亚科（鞘翅目：葡萄球菌）的甲虫之间的部落关系。

传统上，巨型多样的葡萄球菌亚科属于最佳定义的甲虫类群，但是近十年来，分子系统学的出现为该组的分类带来了动荡的变化。在这里，我们通过实施抑制系统错误的常见来源的树推断方法，重新评估葡萄球菌部落之间的内部关系。与形态学数据相一致，并且与以前的一些系统发育研究相反，我们明确地将葡萄球菌和蝶形藻恢复为传统意义上的单种。我们表明，最近提出的亚科Platyprosopinae（Arrowinus和Platyprosopus）是一个系统发育的假象，并恢复了Arrowinus作为Arrowinini stat的成员。水库 Platyprosopus是Platyprosopini stat的成员。水库 我们表明，对亚科内部分类的一些最新变化在系统发育上是不合理的，并且在系统上是不必要的。因此，我们将Platyprosopini，Staphylinini和Xantholinini重新建立为Staphylininae（属于所有州）的部落，并将Coomaniini视为属于一个部落（属于新州）。因此，恢复了Acylophorina，Afroquediina，Amblyopinina，Antimerina，†Baltognathina，Cyrtoquediina，Erichsoniina，Hyptiomina，Indoquediina，Quediina和Tanygnathinina子部落的传统等级（全部统计数据）。我们审查了葡萄球菌的当前分类，并讨论了多基因系统发育中不一致的来源。Staphylinini和Xantholinini是Staphylininae内的部落（所有州），并且将Coomaniini视为部落（新州）。因此，恢复了Acylophorina，Afroquediina，Amblyopinina，Antimerina，†Baltognathina，Cyrtoquediina，Erichsoniina，Hyptiomina，Indoquediina，Quediina和Tanygnathinina子部落的传统等级（全部统计数据）。我们审查了葡萄球菌的当前分类，并讨论了多基因系统发育中不一致的来源。Staphylinini和Xantholinini是Staphylininae内的部落（所有州），并且将Coomaniini视为部落（新州）。因此，恢复了Acylophorina，Afroquediina，Amblyopinina，Antimerina，†Baltognathina，Cyrtoquediina，Erichsoniina，Hyptiomina，Indoquediina，Quediina和Tanygnathinina子部落的传统等级（全部统计数据）。我们审查了葡萄球菌的当前分类，并讨论了多基因系统发育中不一致的来源。和Tanygnathinina被恢复（所有统计）。我们审查了葡萄球菌的当前分类，并讨论了多基因系统发育中不一致的来源。和Tanygnathinina被恢复（所有统计）。我们审查了葡萄球菌的当前分类，并讨论了多基因系统发育中不一致的来源。
