<span class="mw-page-title-main">Rain beetle</span> Family of beetles

The rain beetles are a group of beetles whose extant species are found only in the far west of North America. They spend most of their lives underground, emerging in response to rain or snow, thus the common name. Formerly classified in the Scarabaeidae, they are currently assigned to their own family Pleocomidae, considered the sister group to all the remaining families of Scarabaeoidea. The family contains a single extant genus, Pleocoma, and two extinct genera, Cretocoma, described in 2002 from Late Cretaceous deposits in Mongolia, and Proteroscarabeus of Late Cretaceous China.

Cornea plana 2(CNA2) is a congenital disorder that causes the cornea to flatten and the angle between the sclera and cornea to shrink. This could result in the early development of arcus lipoides, hazy corneal limbus, and hyperopia. There is evidence that cornea plana 2 is caused by mutations in KERA gene encoding keratocan. Cornea plana 2 is an autosomal recessive disorder.
