Porculus is a genus of beetles in the family Ciidae, containing the following species: [1]
The Guadalcanal rat is a species of rodent in the family Muridae. It was found only in the Solomon Islands. Since this species was collected between 1886 and 1888 it has not been seen again. It is possibly extinct.
The king rat, or rat king, is a large species of rodent in the family Muridae. It is endemic to the island of Guadalcanal in the Solomon Islands. Like the two other species of rodent in Guadalcanal, it is placed in the genus Uromys. It lives in trees and is larger than Uromys porculus but smaller than Uromys imperator.
The minute tree-fungus beetles, family Ciidae, are a sizeable group of beetles which inhabit Polyporales bracket fungi or coarse woody debris. Most numerous in warmer regions, they are nonetheless widespread and a considerable number of species occur as far polewards as Scandinavia for example.
Ceracis is a genus of tree-fungus beetle in the family Ciidae.
Dolichocis is a genus of tree-fungus beetle in the family Ciidae.
Octotemnus is a genus of tree-fungus beetles in the family Ciidae.
Orthocis is a genus of tree-fungus beetles in the family Ciidae.
Strigocis is a genus of minute tree-fungus beetles in the family Ciidae. There are at least five described species in Strigocis.
Xylographus is a genus of tree-fungus beetles in the family Ciidae.
Cneoglossidae is a family of beetles in the superfamily Byrrhoidea, containing nine described species in a single genus, Cneoglossa, which are native to the Neotropics from Mexico to Brazil. The larvae develop inside rotting submerged branches found in small fast flowing shallow streams.
Falsocis is a genus of beetles in the family Ciidae, containing the following species:
Malacocis is a genus of beetles in the family Ciidae, containing the following species:
Grossicis is a genus of tree-fungus beetle in the family Ciidae.
Ptilodactylidae is a family of beetles belonging to the Elateriformia. There around 500 extant species in 35 genera. They are generally associated with riparian and aquatic habitats. The larvae generally live associated with rotting wood or vegetation, or within gravel and detritus on the edge of water bodies. The larvae of some species feed on submerged rotting wood or on plant roots, while the adults of some species are known to feed on fungus with modified brush-like maxillae.
Xylographus nitidissimus is a species of beetles of the family Ciidae. It occurs in São Tomé and Príncipe. The species was first described in 1916.
Endecatomus is a genus of beetles, the sole member of the family Endecatomidae. There are at least four described species in Endecatomus. Endecatomidae was formerly treated as a subfamily of Ciidae or Bostrichidae. They are found in the Holarctic region. Adults and larvae feed on the fruiting bodies of bracket fungus, creating bored cavities as they do so.
Ciini is a tribe of minute tree-fungus beetles in the family Ciidae. There are at least 30 genera in Ciini.
Hylastes porculus is a species of crenulate bark beetle in the family Curculionidae. It is found in North America.
