Subfamily of beetles
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nicrophorini is a tribe of burying beetles or carrion beetles in the subfamily Silphinae.[1] It was formerly treated as subfamily Nicrophorinae within family Silphidae, but this family was found to be nested in family Staphylinidae in phylogenetic analyses and Silphidae was reassigned as a subfamily Staphylinidae.[2]
