Psoinae is a small subfamily of beetles in the family Bostrichidae.
Bostrichiformia is an infraorder of polyphagan beetles.
Bostrichoidea is a superfamily of beetles. It is the type superfamily of the infraorder Bostrichiformia.
Powderpost beetles are a group of seventy species of woodboring beetles classified in the insect subfamily Lyctinae. These beetles, along with spider beetles, death watch beetles, common furniture beetles, skin beetles, and others, make up the superfamily Bostrichoidea. While most woodborers have a large prothorax, powderpost beetles do not, making their heads more visible. In addition to this, their antennae have two-jointed clubs. They are considered pests and attack deciduous trees, over time reducing the wood to a powdery dust. The damage caused by longhorn beetles is often confused with that of powderpost beetles, but the two groups are unrelated. The larvae of the Cerambycidae are white, straight and generally flat-headed, whereas those of the Bostrichidae are white and C-shaped.
European lyctus beetle is a species of beetle in the family Bostrichidae. It is a member of the subfamily Lyctinae, the powderpost beetles. It was originally native to tropical regions, but it can now be found worldwide. It is a common pest of wood and wood products and it is transported around the world with them. It is most common in deciduous tree woods.
The Bostrichidae are a family of beetles with more than 700 described species. They are commonly called auger beetles, false powderpost beetles, or horned powderpost beetles. The head of most auger beetles cannot be seen from above, as it is downwardly directed and hidden by the thorax. Exceptions are the powderpost beetles, and members of the subfamily Psoinae.
Ptinidae is a family of beetles in the superfamily Bostrichoidea. There are at least 220 genera and 2,200 described species in Ptinidae worldwide. The family includes spider beetles and deathwatch beetles.
The Dinoderinae comprise a subfamily of the beetle family Bostrichidae. There are five to seven genera. They live in wood. Some species are known as pests of wood-based and other stored products.
Rhyzopertha is a monotypic genus of beetles in the family Bostrichidae, the false powderpost beetles. The sole species, Rhyzopertha dominica, is known commonly as the lesser grain borer, American wheat weevil, Australian wheat weevil, and stored grain borer. It is a beetle commonly found within store bought products and pest of stored cereal grains located worldwide. It is also a major pest of peanuts. The first documentation of wheat infestation by R. dominica was observed in Australia. R. dominica are usually reddish brown to dark brown in coloration, vary in sizes, elongated and cylindrical.
Dysidinae is a subfamily of beetles.
Euderia squamosa is a species of beetles. It is the only member of the monotypic genus Euderia and subfamily Euderiinae.
Lyctus brunneus is a xylophage (wood-eating) insect a species of beetle in the family Bostrichidae. It is a member of the subfamily Lyctinae, the powderpost beetles. It is known commonly as the brown powderpost beetle or brown lyctus beetle.
Lyctus suturalis is a species of beetles in the family Bostrichidae, present in the Palearctic and the Near East. In Europe, it is only found in Belarus and Ukraine.
Trogoxylon is a genus of beetles in the family Bostrichidae. They are members of the subfamily Lyctinae, the powderpost beetles.
Polycaoninae is a subfamily of horned powder-post beetles in the family Bostrichidae. There are at least 2 genera and 20 described species in Polycaoninae.
Heterobostrychus is a genus of beetles in the family Bostrichidae, the horned powder post beetles. Like other beetles of the family, these live in wood, often inflicting significant damage on timber and other wood products. This genus can also be found in crop plants such as cassava, potato, coffee, oilseeds, and pulse crops.
Bostrichini is a tribe of horned powder-post beetles in the family Bostrichidae. There are about 16 genera and at least 150 described species in Bostrichini.
Stephanopachys is a genus of horned powder-post beetles in the family Bostrichidae. There are more than 20 described species in Stephanopachys.
Lyctus cavicollis, known generally as the shiny powderpost beetle or western lyctus beetle, is a species of powder-post beetle in the family Bostrichidae. It is found in Australia, Europe and Northern Asia, and North America.
Polycaon is a genus of horned powder-post beetles in the family Bostrichidae. There are at least four described species in Polycaon.
Scobicia declivis, known generally as the lead cable borer or short-circuit beetle, is a species of horned powder-post beetle in the family Bostrichidae. It is found in North America and Oceania.
