Palm inflorescences are associated with a large number of mainly coleopteran insects, but so far there are no previous studies evaluating the association with visiting Staphylinidae species. Objective: We register the species richness, abundance, the association and specificity of staphylinids in inflorescences of wild palms of the Colombian Pacific. Methodology: Visiting insects of 27 palms were collected in the departments of Chocó, Valle del Cauca and Nariño. Non-parametric ICE, Jacknife 2, Chao 2 and Bootstrap richness estimators were used. The specificity was determined through the analysis of interaction networks, using similarity indexes of Jaccard and ANOSIM. Results: Of the 27 palms species sampled, only 18 were visited by staphylinids and 48 morph species were collected. The most abundant subfamily was Aleocharinae (23 morphospecies). The abundance found was between 1 and 21.956 individuals.Athetini sp.1 recorded the highest abundance (16.068 individuals). Bootstrap estimated 63 morph species; however, no estimator was below the 48-morph species observed. The interactions recorded were 68 out of 864 possible and the network connectivity was 7.8%. Conclusion: The Jaccard and ANOSIM test indicated low similarity in the preference of each species of Staphylinidae indicating high specificity and strong association between this coleopteran and the Colombian Pacific palms.
