Priochirus unicolor is a species of beetles belonging to the family Staphylinidae. This species can be found in Indonesia.
The Osoriinae are a subfamily of beetles in the family Staphylinidae, the rove beetles. They are found mainly in tropical and subtropical regions.
Neoclytus is a genus of beetles in the family Cerambycidae. They measure 4-20 mm. There are 93 species in the New World.
Epicauta is a genus of beetles in the blister beetle family, Meloidae. The genus was first scientifically described in 1834 by Pierre François Marie Auguste Dejean. Epicauta is distributed nearly worldwide, with species native to all continents except Australia and Antarctica. Surveys have found the genus to be particularly diverse in northern Arizona in the United States. Few species occur in the Arctic, with none farther north than the southern Northwest Territory of Canada.
Callirhipidae is a family of beetles, found widely throughout low-latitude regions except tropical Africa and Madagascar. There are around 175 species in 7 genera. The larvae bore into dead wood and generally have a life span of 2 or more years. The adults are generally nocturnal.
Celadonia is a genus of beetles in the family Callirhipidae. It was described by Laporte de Castelnau in 1840.

Dendarus is a genus of darkling beetles in the family Tenebrionidae. The genus is distributed from Morocco to Caucasus and exhibits a high level of diversity with 36 species, 27 of which are island endemics. Analyses of the phylogenetic relationships of 23 species from Greece and Turkey revealed 13 distinct lineages with several para- and polyphyletic cases corresponding to three major phylogroups [south/south-east Aegean ; central to north Aegean, Turkey and mainland Greece and mainland Greece ].
