Creophilus
''Creophilus'' is a genus of beetles of the Staphylinidae family (biology), family, subfamily Staphylininae. It includes some of the largest rove beetle species, up to 30 mm long. Almost all species live primarily on carrion and feed on maggots, and so are of interest to Forensic entomology, forensic entomologists estimating the age of a corpse. The European species Creophilus maxillosus, ''C''. ''maxillosus'' (Linnaeus, 1758) was described in the ''Systema Naturae'', and has been widely studied, but some other species in the genus are little known. ''Creophilus'' was revised in 2011, and two new species described. Several others (''C. insularis'', ''C. villipennis'' and ''C. violaceus'') were synonymised with ''C. flavipennis''.

Creophilus Oculatus
''Creophilus oculatus'' or devil's coach horse is a species of large carrion-feeding rove beetle endemic to New Zealand. Taxonomy ''Creophilus oculatus'' was described and named by Danish zoologist Johan Christian Fabricius, Johann Christian Fabricius as ''Staphylinus oculatus''. The lectotype and two paralectotype specimens were designated by David J. Clarke in 2011 and are housed at Natural History Museum, London, The Natural History Museum, London, UK (BMNH). These were some of the first insect specimens collected in New Zealand by Joseph Banks and Daniel Solander in 1769–1770 on James Cook, Cook's First voyage of James Cook, first voyage to New Zealand. The specimens of ''C. oculatus'' were likely collected from dried or decaying animal materials which also contained these carrion beetles. The name "devil's coach horse" is used for ''Devil's coach horse beetle, Ocypus olens'', another large species of rove beetle found in Europe and North America, so named because of ...

Creophilus Rekohuensis
''Creophilus rekohuensis'' is a beetle of the Staphylinidae family, subfamily Staphylininae. This species occurs only on some small predator-free islands in the Chatham Islands, New Zealand, where it lives in seabird burrows. Its name derives from ''Rekohu'', the Moriori name for Chatham Island. Discovery and naming This species was first noted in 1924 by C. Lindsay, and a specimen collected on Mangere was sent to the Canterbury Museum. Rowan Emberson of Lincoln University collected two from a petrel burrow on Mangare in 1993, and John Marris and Emberson collected others in expeditions in 1997 and 1998 to Mangere, Rangatira, and Star Keys, in burrows, and under logs and leaf litter, and with pitfall traps. The type specimens was collected in Woolshed Bush, Rangatira Island, in February 2006 by David Clarke and M. Renner; the holotype was deposited in Lincoln University's Entomology Research Collection, and paratypes went to the Field Museum and the New Zealand Arthropod ...

Creophilus Maxillosus
Creophilus ''maxillosus'', the hairy rove beetle, is a species of rove beetle. Physical characteristics and life cycle Larvae of the hairy rove beetle range from long and are cylindrical and stout. The adult is a shiny black color and approximately long. They are easily characterized by their elytra, which cover the first few abdominal segments. They have large eyes, and their mandibles close across each other in the front of the head and can inflict a painful stab if harassed or handled carelessly. Golden setae are located on posterior angles of the head and slightly on the anterior angle of the pronotum. These setae can be found on the last few abdominal segments and on elytra. The hairy rove beetle has needle-like jaws that close across in front of head and large, prominent eyes. The antennae are thick, beaded, and composed of 11 segments. The development of eggs is around 4 days, larvae 14 days, and pupae 16 days. The eggs are milky white colored, long and hatch in abou ...
