The sap beetles, also known as Nitidulidae, are a family of beetles.
Cucujoidea is a superfamily of beetles. This group formerly included all of the families now included in the superfamily Coccinelloidea. They include some fungus beetles and a diversity of lineages of "bark beetles" unrelated to the "true" bark beetles (Scolytinae), which are weevils.
Erotylidae, or the pleasing fungus beetles, is a family of beetles containing over 100 genera. In the present circumscription, it contains 6 tribes and 10 subfamilies. In other words, the narrowly circumscribed Erotylidae correspond to the subfamily Erotylinae in the definition sensu lato. There are doubts on the monophyly of lower ranked taxa within Erotylidae, with further phylogenetic studies requiring better sampling and studies of unexplored character sets, for example the metendosternite and penile flagellum, which are generally lacking detailed morphological studies within the Coleoptera literature.
Omosita is a genus of sap beetles, erected by Wilhelm Ferdinand Erichson in 1843.
Bactridium is a genus of root-eating beetles in the family Monotomidae. There are about 18 described species in Bactridium.
Cryptarcha is a genus of sap beetles, insects in the family Nitidulidae.
Cybocephalidae is a family of sap, bark and fungus beetles in the order Coleoptera with a wide global distribution. The type genus Cybocephalus has more than 200 species in it and the entire family has about 220 species in all. Many species are predators of armoured scale insects (Diaspididae). There are four tarsal segments on all the legs. The body is only slightly longer than wide and very convex and shiny. They are small and about 1 to 3 mm long. The insect can roll into a ball like position with its downward facing head. The tarsomeres are lobed underneath. The family is sometimes treated as a subfamily within the Nitudulidae.
Nitidulinae is a subfamily of sap-feeding beetles in the family Nitidulidae. There are about 17 genera and at least 70 described species in Nitidulinae.
Cybocephalus nigritulus is a species of sap, bark and fungus beetles in the family Cybocephalidae. It is found in North America. It can grow to be 1.0 mm to 1.55 mm in size.
Meligethes is a genus of pollen beetles in the family Nitidulidae. There are more than 80 described species in Meligethes.
Clambus is a genus of minute beetles in the family Clambidae. There are at least 30 described species in Clambus.
Nosodendron is a genus of wounded-tree beetles in the family Nosodendridae. There are more than 70 described species in Nosodendron.
Pocadius is a genus of sap-feeding beetles in the family Nitidulidae. There are about nine described species in Pocadius.
