Bark-gnawing Beetle
Trogossitidae, also known as bark-gnawing beetles, are a small family in the superfamily Cleroidea. Many taxa formerly within this family have been removed (as of 2019) to other families, such as Lophocateridae, Peltidae, Protopeltidae, Rentoniidae, and Thymalidae.Gimmel, M.L., Bocakova, M., Gunter, N.L. and Leschen, R.A. (2019) Comprehensive phylogeny of the Cleroidea (Coleoptera: Cucujiformia). Syst Entomol, 44: 527-558. Members of the family are generally predatory and/or feed on fungi, both in adult and larval stages, and are generally associated with wood, being found under bark or inside bored tunnel galleries. There are about 400 species in 25 genera in the family under the new, restricted circumscription, as opposed to 600 species in over 50 genera in the old definition. The oldest fossil assignable to the modern, more restricted definition of the family is '' Microtrogossita'' from the mid-Cretaceous Burmese amber of Myanmar, which has close affinities to the Trogossitin ...

Calityinae
''Calitys'' is a genus of beetles belonging to the family Trogossitidae Trogossitidae, also known as bark-gnawing beetles, are a small family in the superfamily Cleroidea. Many taxa formerly within this family have been removed (as of 2019) to other families, such as Lophocateridae, Peltidae, Protopeltidae, Rentoni .... It is the only member of the subfamily Calityinae. The genus was first described by Thomson in 1859. The genus contains two unambiguous species ''Calitys scabra'' (Thunberg, 1784), which is native to Europe and North America, and ''Calitys minor'' (Hatch, 1962), which is native to North America. Some species have been reported from South Africa, but these are disputed. The two unambiguous species live on and under the bark of coniferous trees, where they feed on fungi.
