Amecomycter is a genus of beetles in the family Mauroniscidae, historically included in the family Melyridae. The six known species of this genus are found in South America in the countries of Argentina, Chile, and Peru. [1]
Cleroidea is a small superfamily of beetles containing about 10,000 species. Most of the members of the group are somewhat slender, often with fairly soft, flexible elytra, and typically hairy or scaly.
The minute tree-fungus beetles, family Ciidae, are a sizeable group of beetles which inhabit Polyporales bracket fungi or coarse woody debris. Most numerous in warmer regions, they are nonetheless widespread and a considerable number of species occur as far polewards as Scandinavia for example.
Prionoceridae is a small family of beetles, in the suborder Polyphaga. They form a group within the cleroid beetles and were formerly treated as a subfamily (Prionocerinae) within the family Melyridae. Very little is known of their life history but most species are pollen feeders as adults and occur in large numbers during spring or the host flowering season. Larvae are predatory or feed on decomposing wood.
Mordella is the type genus of the tumbling flower beetle family (Mordellidae), its subfamily Mordellinae and the tribe Mordellini. It is widely distributed in the Holarctic and adjacent regions. The larvae are primarily dead wood borers.
Cneoglossidae is a family of beetles, in the large suborder Polyphaga.
Orphinus is a genus of beetles in the family Dermestidae, the skin beetles. The genus is distributed in Africa, Asia, and the Australian region, especially in tropical areas; at least one species is cosmopolitan. There are about 88 species.

Aplocnemus is an uncommon genus of beetles native to Europe and the British isles belonging to the family Melyridae.
Ora is a genus of flea marsh beetles in the family Scirtidae. There are about 17 described species in Ora.
Mauroniscidae is a family of soft-winged flower beetles in the order Coleoptera, formerly included in the family Melyridae. There are presently five or six genera and roughly 30 described species in Mauroniscidae.
The Pteridophyte Phylogeny Group, or PPG, is an informal international group of systematic botanists who collaborate to establish a consensus on the classification of pteridophytes that reflects knowledge about plant relationships discovered through phylogenetic studies. In 2016, the group published a classification for extant pteridophytes, termed "PPG I". The paper had 94 authors.
Cephus is a genus of insects belonging to the family Cephidae.
Dasyrhadus is a genus of beetles in the family Mauroniscidae, historically included in the family Melyridae. The two known species of this genus are found in western North America.
Mauroniscus is a genus of beetles in the family Mauroniscidae, historically included in the family Melyridae. The ten known species of this genus are found in South America in the countries of Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Columbia, Ecuador, and Peru.
Mecomycter is a genus of beetles in the family Mauroniscidae, historically included in the family Melyridae. The three known species of this genus are found in North America from Kansas west to California.
Mectemycor is a genus of beetles in the family Mauroniscidae, historically included in the family Melyridae. The three known species of this genus are found in western North America, and all are endemic to California.
Scuromanius is a genus of beetles in the family Mauroniscidae, historically included in the family Melyridae. The six known species of this genus are found in South America from Argentina north to Texas and California in North America.
