The Cupedidae are a small family of beetles, notable for the square pattern of "windows" on their elytra, which give the family their common name of reticulated beetles.
The telephone-pole beetle is a beetle native to the eastern United States, and the only living representative of the otherwise extinct family Micromalthidae. They have an unusual life cycle involving asexually reproducing (parthenogenetic) female larvae, as well as non-functional "ghost adults".
The Ecnomidae are a family of caddisflies comprising 9 genera with a total of 375 species.
Adinolepis is a genus of beetles in the family Cupedidae containing four species, all endemic to Australia. A fifth species, Adinolepis scalena, was transferred to Ascioplaga in 2009.
Ascioplaga is a genus of beetles in the family Cupedidae, containing two species endemic to New Caledonia and one described from northern Queensland in Australia. The Australian species, Ascioplaga scalena, was originally described as a species of Adinolepis, and was transferred to Ascioplaga in 2009.
Cupes is a genus of beetles in the family Cupedidae. The Cupedidae are typical “reticulate” or “net-winged” beetles with incompletely sclerotized elytra that produce the characteristic reticulate appearance.
Priacma is a genus of beetles in the family Cupedidae. It contains a single extant species, Priacma serrata native to western North America and one fossil species, P. megapuncta from the Cenomanian aged Burmese amber. Species previously assigned to the genus from the Yixian Formation of China have been subsequently placed in the separate genus Apriacma.
Tenomerga is a genus of beetles in the family Cupedidae. This genus has about 17 extant species, which are native to the eastern Palearctic, Nearctic and Oriental regions.
Distocupes is a monotypic genus of beetles in the family Cupedidae, the reticulated beetles. It contains the single species Distocupes varians. It is endemic to eastern Australia, including Tasmania. It is about 12 millimeters long and dark brown to black in color with a coat of lighter scales. Little is known about its biology.
Paracupes is a genus of beetles in the family Cupedidae, the reticulated beetles.
The Crowsoniellidae are a monotypic family of beetles, in the suborder Archostemata. So far, only a single species, Crowsoniella relicta, has been attributed to this family. It is known only from three male specimens collected in 1973 in Italy by Roberto Pace. In a degraded pasture, the beetles were found among the roots of a large hawthorn tree, in deep calcareous soil. No other specimens have been found since.
Clinidium moldenkei is a species of ground beetle in the subfamily Rhysodinae. It was described by R.T. Bell & J.R. Bell in 1985. It is endemic to the Golfo Dulce region in Puntarenas Province, Costa Rica. The species is named for the coleopterist Andrew R. Moldenke, collector of the holotype.
Clinidium spatulatum is a species of ground beetle in the subfamily Rhysodinae. It was described by R.T. Bell & J.R. Bell in 1985. Its type locality is Santa Rita Ridge in Colón Province, Panama. Primarily a Panamanian species, its range extends to Osa Peninsula in southeastern Costa Rica. There is also a female collected from Gorgona Island (Colombia), which could well be a distinct species endemic to that island, but which has tentatively been assigned to this species, awaiting better material.
Clinidium centrale is a species of ground beetle in the subfamily Rhysodinae. It was described by Antoine Henri Grouvelle in 1903. It is endemic to Costa Rica. Clinidium centrale measure 6–7.4 mm (0.24–0.29 in) in length.
Rhyzodiastes orestes is a species of ground beetle in the subfamily Rhysodinae. It was described by R.T. Bell and J.R. Bell in 2009. It is endemic to Tibet.
Rhyzodiastes rimoganensis is a species of ground beetle in the subfamily Rhysodinae. It was described by Yoshiro Miwa in 1934. It is endemic to Taiwan. Rhyzodiastes rimoganensis measure 5.5–6.9 mm (0.22–0.27 in) in length.
Tillinae is a subfamily of beetles in the family Cleridae, the checkered beetles.
Eumolpini is a tribe of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is the largest tribe in the subfamily, with approximately 170 genera found worldwide. Members of the tribe almost always have a longitudinal median groove on the pygidium, which possibly helps to keep the elytra locked at rest. They also generally have a subglabrous body, as well as appendiculate pretarsal claws.
Tenomerga cinerea is a species of reticulated beetle in the family Cupedidae. It is found in North America.
Lynchius megacephalus, also known as the big-headed Andes frog, is a species of frog in the family Strabomantidae. It is endemic to Ecuador and only known from its type locality, Ecological Conservation Area Tinajillas-Río Gualaceño in the Morona-Santiago Province. The specific name megacephalus refers to the relatively large head of this frog.
