Erotylinae is a subfamily of pleasing fungus beetles in the family Erotylidae.
The family Pythidae is a small group of beetles with no vernacular common name, though recent authors have coined the name dead log bark beetles. There are about 10 genera and 17 described species in Pythidae.
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.
Coccinellinae is a subfamily of lady beetles in the family Coccinellidae. There are at least 20 genera and 90 described species in Coccinellinae.
Scymninae is a subfamily of beetles in the family Coccinellidae. There are at least 170 described species in Scymninae.
Brachiacantha is a genus of lady beetles in the family Coccinellidae. There are at least 25 described species in Brachiacantha.
Coleothorpa is a genus of case-bearing leaf beetles in the family Chrysomelidae. The group is largely composed of species that were originally placed in the genus Euryscopa; some authorities have suggested placing these species into the genus Coscinoptera but the most recent revisions prefer to retain it as a separate genus.
Cillaeinae is a subfamily of sap-feeding beetles in the family Nitidulidae. There are about 9 genera and at least 150 described species in Cillaeinae.
Triplax is a genus of pleasing fungus beetles in the family Erotylidae. There are about 18 described species in Triplax.
Hyperaspis dissoluta, the dissolute lady beetle, is a species of lady beetles in the family Coccinellidae. It is found in North America.
Neochodaeus is a genus of sand-loving scarab beetles in the family Ochodaeidae. There are at least four described species in Neochodaeus.
Listronotus is a genus of underwater weevils in the family Curculionidae. There are at least 100 described species in Listronotus.
Euxestidae is a family of beetles in the order Coleoptera, formerly included within the family Cerylonidae.
Anamorphidae is a family of beetles in the order Coleoptera, formerly included within the family Endomychidae. There are about 10 genera and at least 20 described species in Anamorphidae.
Limnichidae, commonly called minute marsh-loving beetles, is a beetle family in the order Coleoptera. There are at least 30 genera and 350 described species in Limnichidae.
Artematopodidae is a family of soft-bodied plant beetles in the order Coleoptera. Adults are short-lived, and larvae are associated with mosses.
Throscidae is a family of small false click beetles in the order Coleoptera. In North America, there are 3 genera and 20 described species.
Martinius is a genus of minute marsh-loving beetles in the family Limnichidae. There are at least three described species in Martinius.
Ctesibius is a genus of soft-bodied plant beetles in the family Artematopodidae. There is at least one described species in Ctesibius, C. eumolpoides.
Tritomini is a tribe of pleasing fungus beetles in the family Erotylidae. There are about 7 genera and at least 30 described species in Tritomini.
Melasinae is a subfamily of false click beetles in the family Eucnemidae. There are about 15 genera and at least 30 described species in Melasinae.
