The morphology, including muscles, nervous system, digestive tract and glands, is described in detail for the first time. We interpret the observed external and internal features with respect to their possible phylogenetic implications, mainly focused on the groundplan of the clade Protopselaphinae + Pselaphinae, and on apomorphies of the latter group. Whereas a clade Dasycerinae + (Protopselaphinae + Pselaphinae) is still not strongly supported morphologically, the monophyly of Protopselaphinae + Pselaphinae is robustly established. Adult cephalic synapomorphies are vertical tentorial columns completely detached from the tentorial bridge and dorsally firmly connected with the head capsule, a brain shifted to the narrowed neck region and filling out this space almost completely, and strongly developed labio\u2010hypopharyngeal glands. Predacious habits and correlated falcate mandibles are also likely a groundplan apomorphy of this clade. Enlarged maxillary palps are arguably a typical feature but this condition varies strongly in the subfamily and also within Staphylinidae. Pselaphinae are characterized by several cephalic apomorphies such as a thin (or anteriorly obliterated, or missing) anterior tentorial arm, an antennal insertion covered by a frontal projection, a labral gland, a thin apical sensillum on the terminal maxillary palpomere, a highly reduced labial palpomere 3, and M. frontopharyngalis posterior composed of only one subcomponent.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/jmor.70167","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,1]],"date-time":"2026-09-01T10:06:13Z","timestamp":1788257173000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["The Cephalic Morphology of\n                    <i>Protopselaphus<\/i>\n                    \u2014A Phylogenetic Connecting Link in Staphylinidae (Coleoptera)"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"287","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1363-9669","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Margarita I.","family":"Yavorskaya","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Evolution and Ecology University of T\u00fcbingen T\u00fcbingen Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2973-1803","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Pawe\u0142","family":"Ja\u0142oszy\u0144ski","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Museum of Natural History University of Wroc\u0142aw Wroc\u0142aw Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sh\u00fbhei","family":"Nomura","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Museum of Nature and Science Tokyo Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0433-7626","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rolf G.","family":"Beutel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institut f\u00fcr Zoologie und Evolutionsforschung, Friedrich\u2010Schiller\u2010Universit\u00e4t Jena Jena Germany"},{"name":"Entomology II, Senckenberg Forschungsinstitut und Naturmuseum Frankfurt Frankfurt Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_10_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1078\/0044-5231-00107"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s13127\u2010016\u20100305\u20103"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1439\u20100469.2003.00224.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1515\/9783110264043"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1096-0031.2007.00186.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3897\/asp.79.e68352"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365\u20103113.2005.00293.x"},{"issue":"13","key":"e_1_2_10_9_1","first-page":"1","article-title":"Morphology of the Coleopterous Family Staphylinidae","volume":"94","author":"Blackwelder R.
