Orthoperus is a genus of minute hooded beetles in the family Corylophidae. There are more than 20 described species in Orthoperus. [1] [2] [3]
These 28 species belong to the genus Orthoperus:
Corylophidae is a family of minute hooded beetles, sometimes called minute fungus beetles, in the superfamily Coccinelloidea. There are about 18 genera and at least 120 described species in Corylophidae. They feed on microfungi such as molds, and are often found associated with bark, as well as in leaf litter and other decaying vegetation. In older literature, the family name was often given as Orthoperidae.
Hygrotus is a genus of beetle in family Dytiscidae. It contains two subgenera and about 70 species, including:
Agabus is a large genus of predatory aquatic beetles in the family Dytiscidae, proposed in 1817 by William Elford Leach and named after Agabus, an early follower of Christianity. The adult beetles are moderate-sized, 5 to 14 mm long. The genus is primarily Holarctic in distribution, with only a few species known from the Afrotropical and Neotropical realms. Three species of Agabus, namely A. clypealis, A. discicollis and A. hozgargantae are endangered according to the IUCN Red List. The division into subgenera is not widely accepted. However, a number of species groups are recognized after the works of David J. Larson and Anders N. Nilsson. The genus is probably polyphyletic or paraphyletic. In a recent study of mitochondrial DNA, Agabus was found paraphyletic with respect to several of the species groups of Platambus, a closely related genus in the tribe Agabini. Lately the taxonomy of the genus has been revised, and some groups of species were transferred from Agabussensu stricto to other genera in the tribe Agabini.
Monotomidae is a family of beetles in the superfamily Cucujoidea. The family is found worldwide, with approximately 240 species in 33 genera. The ecological habits of the family are diverse, with different members of the group being found under tree bark, in decaying vegetation, on flowers and in ant nests. Their ecology is obscure, while at least some species are mycophagous, feeding on the fruiting bodies of ascomycete fungi, Rhyzophagus are predators on bark beetles and possibly Phoridae larvae, with the larvae of some species also being mycophagous.
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.
Holopsis is a genus of minute hooded beetles in the family Corylophidae. There are about 9 described species in Holopsis.
Omalium is a genus of ocellate rove beetles in the family Staphylinidae. There are at least 70 described species in Omalium.
Loberus is a genus of pleasing fungus beetles in the family Erotylidae. There are about 16 described species in Loberus.
Clypastraea is a genus of minute hooded beetles in the family Corylophidae. There are more than 20 described species in Clypastraea.
Parmulini is a tribe of minute hooded beetles in the family Corylophidae. There are at least 2 genera and more than 40 described species in Parmulini.
Arthrolips is a genus of minute hooded beetles in the family Corylophidae. There are more than 20 described species in Arthrolips.
Sericoderus is a genus of minute hooded beetles in the family Corylophidae. There are about 12 described species in Sericoderus.
Aenigmaticum is a genus of minute hooded beetles in the family Corylophidae. There are about five described species in Aenigmaticum.
Nitidula is a genus of sap-feeding beetles in the family Nitidulidae. There are more than 20 described species in Nitidula. Some species breed in carrion while others are associated with later stages of decay in mammalian corpses and can be used in forensic investigations.
Telmatophilus is a genus of silken fungus beetles in the family Cryptophagidae. There are about seven described species in Telmatophilus.
Sphindus is a genus of cryptic slime mold beetles in the family Sphindidae. There are at least three described species in Sphindus.
Monotominae is a subfamily of root-eating beetles in the family Monotomidae. There are about 10 genera and more than 80 described species in Monotominae.
Dendrobiella is a genus of horned powder-post beetles in the family Bostrichidae. There are about seven described species in Dendrobiella.
Rypobius is a genus of minute hooded beetles in the family Corylophidae. There are about five described species in Rypobius.
Rypobiini is a tribe of minute hooded beetles in the family Corylophidae. There are at least 2 genera and about 14 described species in Rypobiini.
