"A distinctive new genus and species of flightless litter-inhabiting staphylinid, Oxypius peckorum, is described from extreme southwestern Australia, together with its presumed larva. The systematic position and phylogenetic relationships of the genus are reviewed. Oxypius is considered to be most closely related to Euphanias, presently placed in the Piestinae. Both genera are here placed in the Oxytelinae close to the genera Syntomium and Deleaster. A revised cladistic analysis is presented for primitive taxa of the Oxytelinae; a need for a revised tribal classification is suggested. A key to separate larvae of the subfamilies Piestinae, Osoriinae, and Oxytelinae is also given, and existing keys to genera of Oxytelinae are modified to include adults and larvae of Oxypius and adults of Euphanias"--P. [1].
