The Paederinae are a subfamily of the Staphylinidae, rove beetles.[1][2] The Paederinae include two tribes, Paederini and Pinophilini.[3]
Three of the genera of a subtribe of the Paederini are associated with a skin irritation called Paederus dermatitis, due to a potent vesicant in their haemolymph.[4] This irritant, pederin, is highly toxic, more potent than cobra venom.[5] Thirty-six genera and 436 species are found in North America, generally in damp places, under logs, in caves and ant nests, in litter, or on foliage. Major genera include Rugilus.
