The Empelinae are a subfamily of rove beetles; their biology is virtually unknown. Their anatomy and ecology resemble many rove beetles.
The Empelinae are a subfamily of rove beetles; their biology is virtually unknown. Their anatomy and ecology resemble many rove beetles.
==Ecology and anatomy== The Empelinae are small beetles under 2 mm long. They have 11 antennae with loose trisegmented clubs. Their elytra nearly cover the whole of their abdomen. The tarsi, according to scientists, is 5-5-5. Some scientists theorize this is a result of their secluded habitats - forest leaf litter, fungi, and moss at a stream's edge. This makes collecting the subfamily's species hard. Due to the seclusion of the Empelinae, like many rove beetles, (see Aleocharinae), the subfamily's biology is nearly unknown.
