Susellis

Susellis is a genus of insects belonging to the order Coleoptera, commonly known as beetles. They are part of the family Staphylinidae, the rove beetles, a diverse and widespread group characterized by their elongated bodies and short elytra that leave most of their abdominal segments exposed. Members of the Susellis genus are typically small to medium-sized beetles, often found in moist environments such as leaf litter, decaying wood, and soil. Their diet generally consists of small invertebrates, including mites, collembolans, and other soft-bodied arthropods.

The distribution of Susellis species is primarily Palearctic, with some occurrences reported in other regions. Research into this genus has focused on taxonomic descriptions, ecological roles within their habitats, and phylogenetic relationships with other staphylinid lineages. As with many genera within the Staphylinidae, further study is ongoing to fully understand the species diversity and ecological significance of Susellis. Identification of species within Susellis often relies on detailed examination of morphological features, including the structure of their antennae, mouthparts, and genitalia.
