Xantholinus is a genus of the beetle family Staphylinidae, the rove beetles. They can be found throughout the world.[1] Most are native to the Palearctic realm, and some have been introduced to North America.[2]

The larvae of at least some species are bioluminescent.[1]

There are about 274 species in this genus.[1]
