Silphidae is now a subfamily of Staphylinidae

Cai C et al. 2022 Integrated phylogenomics and fossil data illuminate the evolution of beetles. R. Soc. Open Sci. 9: 211771. https://doi.org/10.1098/rsos.211771

Cai et al. 2022 formerly sinks the Silphidae into the Staphylinidae. It would be good to update Wikipedia to this change. The old family Silphidae becomes the subfamily Silphinae. The old subfamily Silphinae becomes the tribe Silphini, the old subfamily Nicrophorinae becomes the tribe Nicrophorini. 206.174.95.242 (talk) 17:51, 9 March 2023 (UTC)
