| Leptacinus intermedius Donisthorpe, 1935 |
Leptacinus intermedius is a European staphylinid (or rove beetle), described in 1935 by Horace Donisthorpe.
Like most of the staphylinids, L. intermedius and its larvae are predaceous towards other insects.
Members of this family can usually be identified by their very short elytra, which leave three to six abdominal segments exposed.
