Monoedus is a genus of cylindrical bark beetles in the family Zopheridae. There are about eight described species in Monoedus. [1] [2] [3] [4]
These eight species belong to the genus Monoedus:
Zopheridae is a family of beetles belonging to Tenebrionoidea. It 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.
Jacobsoniidae are a family of tiny beetles belonging to Staphylinoidea. The larvae and adults live under bark, in plant litter, fungi, bat guano and rotten wood. There are around 28 described species in three genera:
Cerylonidae are small to tiny, smooth, shiny, hairless beetles, only lightly punctured. There are about 450 species worldwide in 50 or so genera, mostly tropical and subtropical. They are most common under the bark of dead trees, but can also occur in compost and other decaying plant material. Little is known specifically about their biology but they are thought to be either predators that feed on other small animals, or fungus-feeders.
Namunaria is a genus of cylindrical bark beetles in the family Zopheridae, first described by Edmund Reitter in 1882. There are at least two described species in Namunaria.
Phloeonemus is a genus of cylindrical bark beetles in the family Zopheridae. There are at least three described species in Phloeonemus.
Denophoelus is a genus of cylindrical bark beetles in the family Zopheridae. There is one described species in Denophoelus, D. nosodermoides.
Pseudocorticus is a genus of cylindrical bark beetles in the family Zopheridae. There is one described species in Pseudocorticus, P. blairi.
Eudesma is a genus of cylindrical bark beetles in the family Zopheridae. There is one described species in Eudesma, E. undulata.
