Sthereus is a genus of true weevils in the beetle family Curculionidae. There are about seven described species in Sthereus, found along the Pacific coast from northern California to the Aleutian Islands. [1] [2] [3] [4]
These seven species belong to the genus Sthereus:
The Phalacridae are a family of beetles commonly called the shining flower beetles, They are often found in composite flowers. They are oval-shaped, usually tan, and about 2 mm in length. Most species feed on fungus, although a number feed on flower heads.
Prionus Geoffroy, 1762 is a genus of long-horned beetles of the subfamily Prioninae, tribe Prionini, widespread in Europe, Asia and North America.
Coprophilus is, with about 30 species, a genus of staphylinid beetles. They are confined to temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere. They are generally found in rotting plants and woods, compost, under leaf litter, and near herbivore dung, hence their generic name.
Lamiinae, commonly called flat-faced longhorns, are a subfamily of the longhorn beetle family (Cerambycidae). The subfamily includes over 750 genera, rivaled in diversity within the family only by the subfamily Cerambycinae.
The Cratomorphini are a tribe of fireflies of the large subfamily Lampyrinae. The genera placed here often contain well-sized members of their family. The larvae of many species climb trees to feed on snails. This group contains a few "lightning bugs" from North America, e.g. the genus Pyractomena. Further south in the American tropics, Aspisoma can be found.
Anisodactylus is a genus of ground beetle native to the Palearctic, the Near East and North Africa.
Asaphidion is a Holarctic genus of ground beetle native to Europe, the Near East, North Africa, and North America.
Kateretidae also known as short-winged flower beetles are a family of beetles in the superfamily Cucujoidea. There are 10 extant and 4 extinct genera, and at least 40 described species. They are found worldwide except in New Zealand. Adults are anthophagous, feeding on flowers, while the larvae are spermatophagous inside the flower corolla.
