Beetle
Beetles are insects that form the order Coleoptera (), in the superorder Endopterygota. Their front pair of wings are hardened into wing-cases, elytra, distinguishing them from most other insects. The Coleoptera, with about 400,000 described species, is the largest of all orders, constituting almost 40% of described insects and 25% of all known animal life-forms; new species are discovered frequently, with estimates suggesting that there are between 0.9 and 2.1 million total species. Found in almost every habitat except the sea and the polar regions, they interact with their ecosystems in several ways: beetles often feed on plants and fungi, break down animal and plant debris, and eat other invertebrates. Some species are serious agricultural pests, such as the Colorado potato beetle, while others such as Coccinellidae (ladybirds or ladybugs) eat aphids, scale insects, thrips, and other plant-sucking insects that damage crops. Beetles typically have a particularly hard e ...

Scirtidae
Scirtidae is a family of beetles ( Coleoptera). These beetles are commonly referred to as marsh beetles, as the larvae are typically associated with stagnant water, but can be found in flowing water. Adults prefer decomposing plant material near the water's edge. More than an estimated 600 species are known worldwide, distributed among at least 60 genera. Genera These 81 genera belong to the family Scirtidae: * '' Accolabass'' Watts, 2009 * '' Alpestriscyphon'' Watts, Cooper & Libonatti, 2020 * '' Amplectopus'' Sharp, 1886 * '' Anocyphon'' Watts, Cooper & Libonatti, 2020 * '' Anthocara'' Watts, Cooper & Libonatti, 2020 * '' Anticyphon'' Ruta, 2016 * '' Atopida'' White, 1846 * '' Austrocyphon'' Zwick, 2013 * '' Brachelodes'' Yablokov-Khnzorian, 1961 * '' Brachycyphon'' Fairmaire, 1896 * '' Byrrhopsis'' Champion, 1913 * '' Calvariopsis'' Ruta, 2019 * ''Calvarium'' Pic, 1918 * '' Chameloscyphon'' Watts, 2011 * '' Chilarboreus'' Ruta, 2011 * '' Contacyphon'' Des Gozis, 1886 * '' ...

Scirtoidea
Scirtoidea is a superfamily of beetles. It is traditionally considered to consist of four families: Clambidae, Decliniidae Decliniidae is a family of beetles belonging to Scirtoidea. It contains the single genus ''Declinia'' with two species, ''D. relicta'' and ''D. versicolor'', found in the Russian Far East and Japan, respectively. Little is known of their ecology, ..., Eucinetidae and Scirtidae. However, genetic studies have suggested that Clambidae and Eucinetidae belong to a separate superfamily Clamboidea, which also includes Derodontidae. Scirtoidea and Clamboidea are the two earliest diverging lineages of living polyphagans. Two extinct families have also been assigned to this group: *† Mesocinetidae Kirejtshuk and Ponomarenko 2010 Late Jurassic-Early Cretaceous (Asia) *† Elodophthalmidae Kirejtshuk and Azar 2008 monotypic, Lebanese amber, Barremian References External links Tree of Life Beetle superfamilies {{Scirtoidea-stub ...
