Murmidius is a genus of beetles in the family Murmidiidae. [1] [2] [3] [4] There are at least twenty described species in Murmidius.
These species belong to the genus Murmidius: [5]
Scydmaeninae are a subfamily of small beetles, commonly called ant-like stone beetles or scydmaenines. These beetles occur worldwide, and the subfamily includes some 4,500 species in about 80 genera. Established as a family, they were reduced in status to a subfamily of Staphylinidae in 2009
Myxophaga is the second-smallest suborder of the Coleoptera after Archostemata, consisting of roughly 65 species of small to minute beetles in four families. The members of this suborder are aquatic and semiaquatic, and feed on algae.
Lepicerus is a genus of myxophagan beetles containing three described species in the family Lepiceridae; it is the only extant genus in the family, with another genus, Lepiceratus only known from fossils. Extant species occur in the Neotropics, from Mexico south to Venezuela and Ecuador. Fossils referrable to the genus are known from the early Late Cretaceous of Southeast Asia.
Jacobsoniidae is a family of Staphylinoidea beetles. The larvae and adults live under bark, in plant litter, fungi, bat guano and rotten wood. It is a small family with 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 eating.
Murmidiidae is a family of beetles in the order Coleoptera, formerly included within the family Cerylonidae. The family contains thirty-four described species in four genera.
Arctobyrrhus is a genus of pill beetles in the family Byrrhidae. There are at least two described species in Arctobyrrhus.
Pycnomerus is a genus of ironclad beetles in the family Zopheridae. There are more than 20 described species in Pycnomerus.
Cytilus is a genus of pill beetles in the family Byrrhidae. There are about eight described species in Cytilus.
Listemus is a genus of pill beetles in the family Byrrhidae. There are at least four described species in Listemus.
Morychus is a genus of pill beetles in the family Byrrhidae. There are at least three described species in Morychus.
Eusomalia is a genus of pill beetles in the family Byrrhidae. There is one described species in Eusomalia, E. lecontei.
Porcinolus is a genus of pill beetles in the family Byrrhidae. There are at least three described species in Porcinolus.
Mychocerinus is a genus of beetles in the family Murmidiidae. There are at least two described species in Mychocerinus.
Synchita is a genus of cylindrical bark beetles in the family Zopheridae. There are about 20 described species in Synchita.
Cyclaxyridae are a family of beetles in the superfamily Cucujoidea. The only living genus is Cyclaxyra, with two species endemic to New Zealand. Other species have been named from fossils. They are also known as sooty mould beetles due to the association of Cyclaxyra with sooty mould. The extant species are mycophagous, feeding on spores, conidia, and hyphae.
2019 in paleoentomology is a list of new fossil insect taxa that were described during the year 2019, as well as other significant discoveries and events related to paleoentomology that were scheduled to occur during the year.
2017 in paleoentomology is a list of new fossil insect taxa that were described during the year 2017, as well as other significant discoveries and events related to paleoentomology that were scheduled to occur during the year.
2015 in paleoentomology is a list of new fossil insect taxa that were described during the year 2015, as well as other significant discoveries and events related to paleoentomology that were scheduled to occur during the year.
Burmese amber is fossil resin dating to the early Late Cretaceous Cenomanian age recovered from deposits in the Hukawng Valley of northern Myanmar. It is known for being one of the most diverse Cretaceous age amber paleobiotas, containing rich arthropod fossils, along with uncommon vertebrate fossils and even rare marine inclusions. A mostly complete list of all taxa described up until 2018 can be found in Ross 2018; its supplement Ross 2019b covers most of 2019.
