The sap beetles, also known as Nitidulidae, are a family of beetles.
Dr Wilhelm Ferdinand Erichson was a trained medical doctor and a German entomologist.
The Zopheridae family of beetles has grown considerably in recent years as the members of two other families have been included within its circumscription; these former families are the Monommatidae and the Colydiidae, which are now both included in the Zopheridae as subfamilies or even as tribe of subfamily Zopherinae. Some authors accept up to six subfamilies here, while others merge all except the Colydiinae into the Zopherinae.
Colydiinae is a subfamily of beetles, commonly known as cylindrical bark beetles. They have been treated historically as a family Colydiidae, but have been moved into the Zopheridae, where they constitute the bulk of the diversity of the newly expanded family, with about 140 genera worldwide. They are diverse for example in the Australian region, from where about 35 genera are known; in Europe, though, only 20 genera are found and many of these only with few species.
Melanotus is a genus of click beetles in the family Elateridae. There are at least 30 described species in Melanotus.
Rhyzobius ventralis, common names including black lady beetle, gumtree scale ladybird, is a ladybird species endemic to Tasmania and all the mainland states of Australia except the Northern Territory. It is also found in New Zealand, but not naturally. The earliest New Zealand record is Auckland, 1898
Amblytelus is a genus of ground beetle including 47 species distributed through southern Australia, including the Southwest and along the east coast up to North Queensland. It contains the following species:
Trogossitidae, also known as bark-gnawing beetles, are a small family in the superfamily Cleroidea. Many taxa formerly within this family have been removed to other families, such as Lophocateridae, Peltidae, Protopeltidae, Rentoniidae, and Thymalidae. Members of the family are generally predatory and/or feed on fungi, both in adult and larval stages, and are generally associated with wood, being found under bark or inside bored tunnel galleries. There are about 400 species in 25 genera in the family under the new, restricted circumscription, as opposed to 600 species in over 50 genera in the old definition. The oldest fossil assignable to the modern, more restricted definition of the family is Microtrogossita from the mid-Cretaceous Burmese amber of Myanmar, which has close affinities to the Trogossitini, indicating that the family had already considerably diversified by this time.
Psydrinae is a subfamily of beetles in the family Carabidae.
Dystrichothorax is a genus of beetles in the family Carabidae, containing the following species:
Notagonum marginellum is a species of ground beetle in the subfamily Platyninae. It was described by Wilhelm Ferdinand Erichson in 1842.
Dystrichothorax dilatatus is a species of ground beetle in the subfamily Psydrinae. It was described by Wilhelm Ferdinand Erichson in 1842.
Mecyclothorax ambiguus is a species of ground beetle in the subfamily Psydrinae. It was described by Wilhelm Ferdinand Erichson in 1842.
Zygocerini is a tribe of longhorn beetles of the subfamily Lamiinae. It was described by Lacordaire in 1872.
Carpophilus is a genus of sap beetles. They are agricultural pests that cause feeding damage to a variety of fruits, grains and other food products worldwide. The genus contains a great number of species.
Coccinelloidea is a superfamily of beetles in the order Coleoptera, formerly included in the superfamily Cucujoidea. There are more than 10,000 species in Coccinelloidea, including more than 6000 in the lady beetle family Coccinellidae.
Leiodinae is a subfamily of round fungus beetles in the family Leiodidae. There are more than 60 genera and 1,800 described species in Leiodinae.
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.
Myrabolia is the only genus in the beetle family Myraboliidae in the superfamily Cucujoidea. It has about 13 species, found in Australia. Adults and possibly larvae live under the bark of Eucalyptus trees.
Euander is a genus of dirt-colored seed bugs in the family Rhyparochromidae. There are at least four described species in Euander, found in Australia.
