In preparation for the new edition of the identification keys of rove beetles of Central Europe (Volume 4 of the "Die Käfer Mitteleuropas"), the following systematic problems affecting the Central European fauna of the tribe Staphylinini are addressed: phylogeny-based, new concepts for the subtribes Quediina and Amblyopinina; status of the subtribe Tanygnathinina; systematic position of the genus Astrapaeus; status of Quedionuchus, the subgenus of Quedius; identity of some species of Quedius and Heterothops. As a result, new wordwide and Central Europe-based diagnoses are given for the subtribes Quediina and Amblyopinina; earlier recognized but not widely accepted synonymies of the genera Quedius and Velleius, and of the species Heterothops praevius and Heterothops niger, are justified; new synonyms are established for: Quedius pseudonigriceps Reitter, 1909 (= Quediusnoricus Bernhauer, 1927, syn. n.); Quedius maurorufus (Gravenhorst, 1806) (= Quedius richteri Korge, 1966, syn. n.); Quedius suturalis Kiesenwetter, 1845 (= Quedius merlini Drugmand & Bruge 1991, syn. n.); lectotypes are designated for Quedius meridiocarpathicus Smetana, 1958, Quedius noricus Bernhauer, 1927, and Quedius pseudonigriceps Reitter, 1909. As a result of synonymy of Quedius and Velleius, the following new combinations are proposed: Quedius amamiensis (Watanabe, 1990), comb. n.; Quedius circumipectus (Cho, 1996), comb. n.; Quedius elongatus (Naomi, 1986), comb. n.; Quedius japonicus (Watanabe, 1990), comb. n.; Quedius pectinatus (Sharp, 1874), comb. n.; Quedius setosus (Sharp, 1889), comb. n.; Quedius simillimus (Fairmaire, 1891), comb. n. As a result of new combinations, Quedius japonicus (Watanabe, 1990) (non Quedius japonicus Sharp, 1874) is replaced with the new name Quedius watanabei Solodovnikov, nom. n., while Quedius pectinatus Lea, 1908 (non Quedius pectinatus (Sharp, 1874)) is replaced with the new name Quedius arthuri Solodovnikov, nom. n.
为编写新版《中欧隐翅虫鉴定手册》（《中欧甲虫》第4卷），解决了以下影响中欧隐翅虫亚科的系统发育问题：基于系统发育的Quediina和Amblyopinina亚族新概念；Tanygnathinina亚族的地位；Astrapaeus属的系统位置；Quedius属的亚属Quedionuchus的地位；一些Quedius属和Heterothops属物种的鉴定。结果，给出了基于全球和中欧的Quediina和Amblyopinina亚族新诊断；证明了Quedius属和Velleius属以及Heterothops praevius和Heterothops niger物种早期被认可但未被广泛接受的同物异名；为以下物种建立了新同物异名：Quedius pseudonigriceps Reitter，1909（= Quedius noricus Bernhauer，1927，新同物异名）；Quedius maurorufus（Gravenhorst，1806）（= Quedius richteri Korge，1966，新同物异名）；Quedius suturalis Kiesenwetter，1845（= Quedius merlini Drugmand & Bruge 1991，新同物异名）；指定Quedius meridiocarpathicus Smetana，1958、Quedius noricus Bernhauer，1927和Quedius pseudonigriceps Reitter，1909的选型。由于Quedius属和Velleius属的同物异名，提出了以下新组合：Quedius amamiensis（Watanabe，1990），新组合；Quedius circumipectus（Cho，1996），新组合；Quedius elongatus（Naomi，1986），新组合；Quedius japonicus（Watanabe，1990），新组合；Quedius pectinatus（Sharp，1874），新组合；Quedius setosus（Sharp，1889），新组合；Quedius simillimus（Fairmaire, 1891），新组合。由于新组合，Quedius japonicus（Watanabe，1990）（非Quedius japonicus Sharp，1874）被新名称Quedius watanabei Solodovnikov取代，而Quedius pectinatus Lea，1908（非Quedius pectinatus（Sharp，1874））被新名称Quedius arthuri Solodovnikov取代。
