Rove beetles (Staphylinidae) and allied families constitute a huge radiation of Coleoptera, but basal relationships in this group remain controversial. In this study, we newly sequenced eight mitogenomes of representatives of Staphylinidae by using next-generation sequencing method. Together with 99 existing mitogenomes of Staphyliniformia, (sub)family relationships were investigated with ML and Bayesian searches under various substitution models and data recoding schemes. The results consistently supported Scydmaenidae and Silphidae to be subordinate groups of Staphylinidae. Within the monophyletic Staphylinidae (including Scydmaenidae and Silphidae), the hypothesis of four major subfamily groups cannot be confirmed. Bayesian inferences under the site-heterogeneous mixture model generally supported the basal position of major clades corresponding to the Omaliine group. At the subfamily level, the monophyly of Pselaphinae, Oxytelinae, Scaphidiinae, Steninae and Staphylininae was supported. However, the subfamilies Omaliinae, Tachyporinae, Aleocharinae and Paederinae were each non-monophyletic.
隐翅虫科（鞘翅目）及其相关科构成了一个庞大的Coleoptera 辐射，但该类群的基础关系仍然存在争议。在这项研究中，我们使用下一代测序方法对隐翅虫科的 8 个代表的线粒体基因组进行了新的测序。结合 99 个现有的鞘翅目（亚）科线粒体基因组，我们使用 ML 和贝叶斯搜索，在不同的替代模型和数据编码方案下，研究了（亚）科的关系。结果一致支持隐翅虫科和埋葬甲科是隐翅虫科的下属群。在单系的隐翅虫科（包括隐翅虫科和埋葬甲科）中，不能确认四个主要亚科群的假设。在基于位置异质混合模型的贝叶斯推断中，一般支持与 Omaliine 组相对应的主要分支的基部位置。在亚科水平上，支持了 Pselaphinae、Oxytelinae、Scaphidiinae、steninae 和 Staphylininae 的单系性。然而，Omaliinae、Tachyporinae、Aleocharinae 和 Paederinae 等亚科均非单系。
