Diagnosis.
Quediini (as recently redefined by Brunke et al. (2021)) can be distinguished from other Staphylininae based on the following combination of characters: disc of head and pronotum with microsculpture, at least on lateral part of either head or pronotum; head with frontoclypeal punctures, and with posterior frontal and basal macropunctures (e.g., Fig. 3C View Figure 3 ) that are distinguishable from ground punctation by their larger diameter and longer, thicker setae; pronotum shield-shaped, slightly elongate to strongly transverse; profemora without apical row of lateroventral spines; protibiae without distinct subapical notch; all pretarsi with pair of empodial setae; all abdominal segments with only anterior transverse line (no traces of posterior transverse line), this line not encompassing spiracles (e.g., Fig. 3E, F View Figure 3 ).
