The family Pythidae is a small group of tenebrionoid beetles with no vernacular common name, though recent authors have coined the name dead log bark beetles. There are seven genera, which are largely native to the mid-high latitude regions of the Northern Hemisphere and Australia, with one genus also present in the tropical Americas. The larvae are generally found with decaying vegetation and wood on which they feed, while adults are not associated with the larvae and are generally caught using malaise traps and light traps.
Corylophidae is a family of minute hooded beetles, sometimes called minute fungus beetles, in the superfamily Coccinelloidea. There are about 18 genera and at least 120 described species in Corylophidae. They feed on microfungi such as molds, and are often found associated with bark, as well as in leaf litter and other decaying vegetation. In older literature, the family name was often given as Orthoperidae.
Xyletininae is a subfamily of death-watch and spider beetles in the family Ptinidae. There are about 13 genera and at least 170 described species in Xyletininae.
Dorcatominae is a subfamily of death-watch and spider beetles in the family Ptinidae. There are about 16 genera and at least 190 described species in Dorcatominae.
Eucradinae is a subfamily of death-watch and spider beetles in the family Ptinidae. There are at least 5 genera and about 18 described species in Eucradinae.
Cerylonidae are small to tiny, smooth, shiny, hairless beetles, only lightly punctured. There are about 450 species worldwide in 50 or so genera, mostly tropical and subtropical. They are most common under the bark of dead trees, but can also occur in compost and other decaying plant material. Little is known specifically about their biology but they are thought to be either predators that feed on other small animals, or fungus-feeders.
Strigocis is a genus of minute tree-fungus beetles in the family Ciidae. There are at least five described species in Strigocis.
Mychocerus is a genus of minute bark beetles in the family Cerylonidae. There are at least two described species in Mychocerus.
Erirhinidae is a family of marsh weevils in the order Coleoptera. There are about 12 genera and at least 40 described species in Erirhinidae.
Anthophagini is a tribe of ocellate rove beetles in the family Staphylinidae. There are at least 20 genera and 20 described species in Anthophagini.
Ampedini is a tribe of click beetles in the family Elateridae. There are about 7 genera and at least 80 described species in Ampedini.
Diaperini is a tribe of darkling beetles in the family Tenebrionidae. There are about 13 genera and at least 40 described species in Diaperini.
Nitidulini is a tribe of sap-feeding beetles in the family Nitidulidae. There are about 10 genera and at least 20 described species in Nitidulini.
Philothermus is a genus of minute bark beetles in the family Cerylonidae. There are about 17 described species in Philothermus.
Synchitini is a tribe of cylindrical bark beetles in the family Zopheridae. There are about 19 genera and at least 40 described species in Synchitini.
Ciini is a tribe of minute tree-fungus beetles in the family Ciidae. There are at least 30 genera in Ciini.
Ostomopsis is a genus of minute bark beetles in the family Cerylonidae. There are at least three described species in Ostomopsis.
Merophysiinae is a subfamily of handsome fungus beetles in the family Endomychidae.
Smicronychini is a tribe of true weevils in the family of beetles known as Curculionidae. There are at least 7 genera in Smicronychini.
Hadrobregmini is a tribe of death-watch beetles in the family Ptinidae. There are at least 3 genera and about 16 described species in Hadrobregmini.
