The Habrocerinae are a subfamily of the Staphylinidae, rove beetles.
The antennomeres of the Habrocerinae are extremely slender.[1] Their bodies are in general compact and sublimuloid, and the tarsi, like many rove beetles, have 5-5-5 segments.[1] They are found in forest litter, wood debris, and fungi. Of the two known genera, one genus, Habrocerus with three species occurs in North America.
