Staphylininae

Shaw, Josh Jenkins, Gehler, Alexander & Kaulfuss, Uwe, 2024, Review of the rove beetles (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae) from the Pliocene of Willershausen, Germany, Zootaxa 5424 (1), pp. 116-126 : 122

Subfamily Staphylininae ?

Material. GZG.W.10786a+b (599-8) ( Fig. 5A & B ).

Remarks. GZG.W.10786 a+b is possibly the print of an elytra and hind wing. Gersdorf (1969) noted that the radial sector on the hind wing extends far behind the fork formed by the meeting of M and Cu1. Gersdorf (1969) suggested that the impression belongs to the subfamily Staphylininae . Unfortunately, the specimen is too poorly preserved to either confirm or deny the identification of Gersdorf (1969). Interpretation of the veins interpreted by Gersdorf (1969) is not helped by poor preservation.
