Omorginae is a subfamily of beetles in the family Trogidae which includes extant species and extinct beetle species from the Lower Cretaceous. [1] The subfamily contains the following genera: [2]
Glaresis is a genus of beetles, sometimes called "Enigmatic scarab beetles", in its own family, the Glaresidae. It is closely related to, and was formerly included in, the family Scarabaeidae. Although its members occur in arid and sandy areas worldwide, only the nocturnal adults have ever been collected, and both the larvae and biology of Glaresis are as yet unknown. Due to their narrow habitat associations, a great number of these species occur in extremely limited geographic areas, and are accordingly imperiled by habitat destruction.
Trogidae, sometimes called hide beetles, is a family of beetles with a distinctive warty or bumpy appearance. Found worldwide, the family includes about 300 species contained in four or five genera.
Ochodaeidae, also known as the sand-loving scarab beetles, is a small family of scarabaeiform beetles occurring in many parts of the world.
Hybosoridae, sometimes known as the scavenger scarab beetles, is a family of scarabaeiform beetles. The 690 species in 97 genera occur widely in the tropics, but little is known of their biology.
Troginae is a subfamily of beetles in the family Trogidae which includes extant species and extinct beetle species from the Lower Cretaceous. The subfamily contains the following genera:
Prototrox transbaikalicus is an extinct, fossil species of hide beetle that lived in modern-day regions of Mongolia and Transbaikalia during the Lower Cretaceous. P. transbaikalicus is the only species of both the genus Prototrox and the subfamily Prototroginae.
Cretomorgus ikhbogdensis is an extinct, fossil species of hide beetle that lived in modern-day Mongolia during the Lower Cretaceous, approximately 112 million years ago, making it the earliest preserved species of the subfamily Omorginae. C. ikhbogdensis is the sole species of the genus Cretomorgus.
Paratrox medvedevi is an extinct, fossil species of hide beetle that lived in modern-day Mongolia around 125 to 113 million years ago, during the Lower Cretaceous. P. medvedevi is the only species of the genus Paratrox.
Glyptotrox brahminus is a species of hide beetle in the subfamily Troginae.
Glyptotrox cambeforti is a species of hide beetle in the subfamily Troginae.
Glyptotrox doiinthanonensis is a species of hide beetle in the subfamily Troginae.
Glyptotrox kerleyi is a species of hide beetle in the subfamily Troginae.
Glyptotrox kiuchii is a species of hide beetle in the subfamily Troginae.
Glyptotrox mutsuensis is a species of hide beetle in the subfamily Troginae.
Glyptotrox simi is a species of hide beetle in the subfamily Troginae.
Glyptotrox uenoi is a species of hide beetle in the subfamily Troginae.
Glyptotrox vimmeri is a species of hide beetle in the subfamily Troginae.
Glyptotrox poringensis is a species of hide beetle in the subfamily Troginae.
Glyptotrox sugayai is a species of hide beetle in the subfamily Troginae.
Glyptotrox yangi is a species of hide beetle in the subfamily Troginae.
