Euconnus clavipes, Canada

Euconnus is a genus of rove beetles in the family Staphylinidae. There are more than 2,500 described species in Euconnus, found worldwide.[2][1][3]

37 subgenera of Euconnus were formerly recognized,[4] but recent research has resulted in fewer than 20 genera.[5][6][2]

Euconnus subgenera

According to Catalog of Life (2025) and StaphBase, these 11 subgenera are members of Euconnus.[2]

  • Androconnus Franz, 1986 (31 species)
  • Austroconophron Franz, 1971 (21 species)
  • Borneoconnus Franz, 1992 (3 species)
  • Cladoconnus Reitter, 1909 (38 species)
  • Euconnus (1,003 species)
  • Glabriconnus Jałoszyński, 2016 (6 species)
  • Madagassoconnus Franz, 1986 (28 species)
  • Nodoconnus Franz, 1986 (3 species)
  • Oneila Péringuey, 1899 (11 species)
  • Rhomboconnus Franz, 1986 (19 species)
  • Tetramelus Motschulsky, 1869 (229 species)

About 1200 species are unassigned to subgenus. About 1000 species are members of the subgenus Euconnus, Tetramelus contains 229 species, and none of the remaining subgenera have more than 40 species. Further research will likely change these numbers in the future.[2][5][6]
