Dry Bark Beetle
Bothrideridae is a family of beetles in the superfamily Coccinelloidea. They are known commonly as the cocoon-forming beetles or dry bark beetles. They occur worldwide with most native to the Old World tropics. In older literature, the family was often included in the family Colydiidae (e.g., ), but is now considered unrelated. Description These beetles are 1.4 to 12 millimeters long as adults. They generally have very elongated bodies, some over 4 times longer than wide. They may be cylindrical or somewhat flattened. They are yellow to black in color, some with various patterning and some with red spots. They are hairless to slightly hairy or scaly in texture. The antennae have 9 to 11 segments and are usually club-shaped at the tips. Larvae are up to 18 millimeters long and are elongate in shape.2010. Slipiński, A. S., N. P. Lord and J. F.

Deretaphrus
''Deretaphrus'' is a genus of dry bark beetles in the family Bothrideridae. A taxonomic revision of the genus published in 2013 listed 25 species, which exhibit a disjunct distribution. There are 22 species of the genus described from Australia, with single species also being found in each of New Caledonia, Bolivia, and North America. Taxonomy The genus ''Deretaphrus'' was erected by Edward Newman in 1842, when he described four new species of beetle from specimens that had been collected in Port Phillip, Australia, which was then part of New South Wales. Of these four species, the first listed, ''D. fossus'', became the type of the genus. The other species initially assigned to the genus, ''D. puteus'', ''D. illusus'' and ''D. vittatus'', were subsequently moved out of ''Deretaphrus'', initially to the genus '' Bothrideres''. Life cycle Larva The beetles in this genus have ectoparasitic larvae, the first instar being a mobile planidium, which is adapted to locate su ...
