Cautires is a genus of beetles in the family Lycidae.
The Elateroidea are a large superfamily of beetles. It contains the familiar click beetles, fireflies, and soldier beetles and their relatives.
The Lymexylidae, also known as ship-timber beetles, are a family of wood-boring beetles. Lymexylidae belong to the suborder Polyphaga and are the sole member of the superfamily Lymexyloidea.
The Rhagophthalmidae are a family of beetles within the superfamily Elateroidea. Members of this beetle family have bioluminescent organs on the larvae, and sometimes adults, and are closely related to the Phengodidae, though historically they have been often treated as a subfamily of Lampyridae, or as related to that family. The most recent evidence is that they are the sister group to the Phengodidae, in a clade that also contains the family Omalisidae, and somewhat distantly related to Lampyridae, whose sister taxon is Cantharidae.
Metriorrynchus is a genus of beetles in the family Lycidae. They occur from Australia north to northern parts of Vietnam, Laos, and Thailand, west to eastern India.
The Lycidae are a family in the beetle order Coleoptera, members of which are commonly called net-winged beetles. These beetles are cosmopolitan, being found in Nearctic, Palearctic, Neotropical, Afrotropical, Oriental, and Australian ecoregions.
Platerodrilus is a genus of beetles of the family Lycidae. They commonly appear in the literature under the name Duliticola, which is an obsolete junior synonym. The females retain a larval form as adults and are about 40–80 mm in length. The females and larvae have a flattened, dark body with large scales over the head, resembling trilobites, hence the informal names Trilobite beetle, Trilobite larva or "Sumatran Trilobite larva". In contrast, the males are much smaller, 8–9 mm, resembling other beetles. Species are found in tropical rainforests of India and South-east Asia.
Platerodrilus ruficollis is a species of trilobite beetle, formerly known under an incorrect junior synonym, Duliticola hoiseni.
Maxwell V L Barclay FRES is a British entomologist, and Curator and Collections Manager of Coleoptera and Hemiptera at the Natural History Museum in London. He is a Fellow of the Royal Entomological Society, and a member of the Editorial Board of The Coleopterist journal. He has been described as ‘one of Britain’s leading entomologists’.
Omalisidae are a very small family of beetles within the superfamily Elateroidea. Members of this beetle family have bioluminescent organs on the larvae. The most recent evidence indicates they are the sister group to a clade comprising the families Rhagophthalmidae and Phengodidae.
Plastocerinae is a subfamily of click beetles. It contains the single genus Plastocerus with a single species Plastocerus angulosus. It has historically often been ranked as a family, but is now placed firmly within the family Elateridae.
Drilini is a tribe of beetles known commonly as the false firefly beetles, in the family Elateridae.
Platerodrilus paradoxus is a species of trilobite beetle.
Pyropterus nigroruber is a species of net-winged beetles belonging to the family Lycidae.
Cautires elegans is a species of beetles in the family Lycidae.
Omethidae is a family of Elateroidea sometimes known as the false soldier beetles.
Agrypninae is a subfamily of click beetles in the family Elateridae. There are at least 130 genera and more than 430 described species in Agrypninae.
Lycinae is a subfamily of net-winged beetles in the family Lycidae. There are about 6 genera and more than 40 described species in Lycinae.
Calochrominae is a subfamily of net-winged beetles in the family Lycidae. There are at least 4 genera and more than 30 described species in Calochrominae.
Eropterus is a genus of net-winged beetles in the family Lycidae. There are about 10 described species in Eropterus.
Eurypogon is a genus of soft-bodied plant beetles in the family Artematopodidae. There are about 11 described species in Eurypogon.
