The pselaphine staphylinid genus Arianops includes 42 described species in eastern and central U.S. Study since the last round of descriptions during 2008 has resulted in at least 13 new species, with additional female specimens that are likely also undescribed. COI data are available for many recently collected specimens, including most new species, allowing a first hypothesis of relationships based on molecular data.
