Calderia is a monotypic genus of longhorned beetles in the family Cerambycidae. This genus has a single species, Calderia windsorensis, found in northeastern Australia. [1] [2] [3]
Cerambycinae is a subfamily of the longhorn beetle family (Cerambycidae). The subfamily has a world-wide distribution including: Asia, Europe and the Americas. Within the family, the only subfamily of comparable diversity is the Lamiinae.
The Ommatidae are a family of beetles in the suborder Archostemata. The Ommatidae are considered the extant beetle family that has most ancestral characteristics. There are only seven extant species, confined to Australia and South America. However, the geographical distribution was much wider during the Mesozoic spanning across Eurasia and Australia, suggesting that they were widespread on Pangea. So far, over 26 extinct genera containing over 170 species of these beetles have been described. Three extant genera have been assigned to this family: Omma,Tetraphalerus and Beutelius. The family is considered to be a subfamily of Cupedidae by some authors, but have been found to be more closely related to Micromalthidae in molecular phylogenies. A close relationship with Micromalthidae is supported by several morphological characters, including those of the mandibles and male genitalia. Due to their rarity, their ecology is obscure, it is likely that their larvae feed on deadwood.
The Mycetophagidae or hairy fungus beetles are a family of beetles in the superfamily Tenebrionoidea. The different species are between 1.0 and 6.5 mm in length. The larvae and adults live in decaying leaf litter, fungi, and under bark. Most species feed on fungi. Worldwide, the 18 genera contain around 200 species.
The Ulodidae are a family of beetles belonging to Tenebrionoidea. They are native to the Southern Hemisphere, with species found in Australia, New Zealand, New Caledonia and Chile. Larvae and adults are generally found on dead wood or fungus associated with rotting wood, and are mycophagous. There are approximately 40 species in 16 genera.
Ceresium is a genus of beetle in the family Cerambycidae.
Elongatocontoderus fuscofasciatus is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae, and the only species in the genus Elongatocontoderus. It was described by Breuning in 1977.
Amblymora (=Australothelais) is a genus of longhorn beetles of the subfamily Lamiinae, containing the following species:
Ancita is a genus of longhorn beetles of the subfamily Lamiinae, containing the following species:
Bucynthia is a genus of longhorn beetles of the subfamily Lamiinae, containing the following species:
Microlamia is a genus of longhorn beetles of the subfamily Lamiinae.
Callipyrga turrita is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae, and the only species in the genus Callipyrga. It was described by Edward Newman in 1842 using a specimen obtained by Rupert Kirk at Woodside near Sydney. This species is endemic to coastal eastern Australia from Townsville in Queensland down to Glenmore in New South Wales. The adult beetles are attracted to light and have been collected on Geijera parviflora and Flindersia xanthoxyla.
Rhytiphora is a genus of flat-faced longhorn beetles in the Pteropliini tribe of the subfamily Lamiinae. The genus was first described in 1835 by Jean Guillaume Audinet-Serville.
Temnosternus is a genus of longhorn beetles of the subfamily Lamiinae.
Ancita australica is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by Stephan von Breuning in 1982. It is known from Australia.
Ancita similis is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by Stephan von Breuning in 1938. It is known from Australia.
Bucynthia borchmanni is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by Breuning in 1959. It is known from Australia.
Bucynthia marmorata is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by Stephan von Breuning in 1963. It is known from Australia.
Rhytiphora bankii is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was first described by Johan Christian Fabricius in 1775, under the genus Lamia. It is known from Australia, the Philippines, Borneo, Java, Micronesia, New Guinea, Hawaii, Moluccas, Sumatra, Vietnam, and has been introduced into Japan. The Australian species of Prosoplus were synonymised with Rhytiphora in 2013.
Rhipiceridae is a family of beetles found worldwide. The larva of rhipicerids are parasitoids of cicada nymphs. Rhipiceridae and Dascillidae form the super family Dascilloidea, within the Elateriformia.
Cyclocranium is a genus of beetles in the long-horned beetle family and the tribe Pseudocephalini. It contains a single species, Cyclocranium swierstrae.
