The Oxytelinae are a subfamily of the Staphylinidae, rove beetles.[2] They have a unique pair of defensive glands opening onto the ninth tergum. Most have seven complete sterna visible. The tarsal patterns are 2-2-2, 3-3-3, 4-4-4, or 5-5-5. They are generally found in moist places: moss along streams, leaf litter, beaches, etc.
There are about 20 genera and at least 320 described species in Oxytelinae.[3][4]
