Abstract
Beetles play a substantial role in calculating the postmortem interval (PMI) during the later stages of decomposition of a carcass. The dominant families are Silphidae, Dermestidae, Histeridae, Tenebrionidae, Trogidae, and Staphylinidae. For accuracy in PMI calculations based on insect fauna, it becomes imperative to catalogue the insect diversity of an area. Herein, we provide checklist of forensically important rove beetles from India belonging to subfamily Staphylininae of family Staphylinidae.
