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. [1]
Genera include: [2]
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.
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.
Anobiinae is a subfamily of death-watch beetles in the family Ptinidae, with at least 45 genera. It was formerly considered a member of the family Anobiidae, but its family name has since been changed to Ptinidae.
Ptilinus pectinicornis, the Fan-bearing Wood-borer, is a species of beetle in the family Ptinidae.
Euderia squamosa is a species of beetles. It is the only member of the monotypic genus Euderia and subfamily Euderiinae.
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.
Xyloperthini is a tribe of horned powder-post beetles in the family Bostrichidae. There are more than 30 genera and 140 described species in Xyloperthini.
Stephanopachys amplus is a species of horned powder-post beetle in the family Bostrichidae. It is found in North America.
Stephanopachys is a genus of horned powder-post beetles in the family Bostrichidae. There are more than 20 described species in Stephanopachys.
Minthea is a genus of tropical powderpost beetles in the family Bostrichidae. There are about eight described species in Minthea.
Stephanopachys densus is a species of horned powder-post beetle in the family Bostrichidae. It is found in North America.
Stephanopachys substriatus, the powder-post beetle, is a species of horned powder-post beetle in the family Bostrichidae. It is found in Europe and Northern Asia and North America.
Xyloblaptus is a genus of horned powder-post beetles in the family Bostrichidae. There are at least three described species in Xyloblaptus.
Dendrobiella is a genus of horned powder-post beetles in the family Bostrichidae. There are about seven described species in Dendrobiella.
Stephanopachys rugosus is a species of horned powder-post beetle in the family Bostrichidae. It is found in Africa, Australia, and North America.
Apatides is a genus of horned powder-post beetles in the family Bostrichidae. There are at least four described species in Apatides.
Stephanopachys hispidulus is a species of horned powder-post beetle in the family Bostrichidae. It is found in North America.
