We provide a list of the 392 described species of Staphylinidae confined to coastal habitats worldwide. The list is in taxonomic sequence by subfamily, tribe, and genus and includes 91 genera. We provide the page reference of the original description of every species and genus listed and of many synonyms. We note the existence of recent reviews, phylogenies and keys of each of the tribes and genera included. Coastal Staphylinidae contain eight subfamilies: Microsilphinae, Omaliinae, Pselaphinae, Aleocharinae, Oxytelinae, Scydmaeninae, Paederinae, and Staphylininae.By 'coastal habitats' we mean habitats existing on the sea coast and subject to inundation or at least splashing by the very highest tides. This includes rocky, boulder, coral, sandy, and muddy seashores, and at least portions of salt-marshes, estuaries, and mangrove swamps. We exclude the sand dune habitat and higher parts of sea-cliffs.The list notes distribution of all the species, first according to the ocean or sea on whose shores it has been recorded, and second by country (and for the larger countries by province or state). Although this distribution is undoubtedly incomplete, it provides a basis for future development of a dedicated database.The 'Habitats, Habits, and Classificatory Notes' section is designed to provide ecologists with further taxonomic and ecological information. It includes references to descriptions of the immature stages, behavior of adults and immatures, their food, natural enemies, and habitat. We would have preferred to separate these entities, but current knowledge of ecology is developed in few instances beyond natural history.The Pacific Ocean basin was the origin and contributed to the dispersal of the majority of specialist coastal Staphylinidae at the level of genus. However, at the level of species, species belonging to non-coastal-specialist genera are about as likely to occur on the shores of other oceans as on the shores of the Pacific. This difference is a reflection of the antiquity of coastal genera and species.A complete bibliography, and habitat and habitus photographs of some representative coastal Staphylinidae species are provided.
我们列出了已知的392种局限于全球沿海栖息地的隐翅虫科物种。该列表按照亚科、族和属的分类顺序排列，包含91个属。我们给出了所列每个物种和属的原始描述以及许多同义词的页码参考。我们还注明了所包含的每个族和属最近的综述、系统发育研究和分类检索表的情况。沿海隐翅虫科包括八个亚科：微隐翅虫亚科、葬甲亚科、蚁甲亚科、隐翅虫亚科、尖腹隐翅虫亚科、锯谷盗亚科、球胸隐翅虫亚科和隐翅虫亚科。我们所说的“沿海栖息地”是指存在于海岸线上、会被最高潮位淹没或至少溅到水的栖息地。这包括岩石海岸、巨石海岸、珊瑚海岸、沙滩和泥滩，以及盐沼、河口和红树林沼泽的至少一部分区域。我们不包括沙丘栖息地和海崖较高的部分。该列表记录了所有物种的分布情况，首先是根据其被记录的海洋，其次是按国家（对于较大的国家则按省份或州）。尽管这种分布无疑并不完整，但它为未来建立一个专门的数据库提供了基础。“栖息地、习性和分类注释”部分旨在为生态学家提供更多的分类学和生态学信息。它包括对未成熟阶段描述、成虫和未成熟个体行为、它们的食物、天敌以及栖息地的参考文献。我们本希望将这些内容分开，但目前除了自然历史方面，在少数情况下生态学知识的发展还很有限。太平洋盆地是大多数专门生活在沿海的隐翅虫科属的起源地，并促进了它们的扩散。然而，在物种层面，属于非沿海特化属的物种出现在其他海洋海岸的可能性与出现在太平洋海岸的可能性大致相同。这种差异反映了沿海属和物种的古老性。我们还提供了完整的参考文献目录，以及一些有代表性的沿海隐翅虫科物种的栖息地和形态照片。
