Hybosoridae
Hybosoridae, sometimes known as the scavenger scarab beetles, is a family of scarabaeiform beetles. The 690 species in 97 genera occur widely in the tropics, but little is known of their biology. Hybosorids are small, 5–7 mm in length and oval in shape. Color ranges from a glossy light brown to black. They are distinctive for their large mandibles and labrum, and their 10-segmented antennae, in which the 8th antennomore of the club is deeply grooved and occupied by the 9th and 10th antennomeres. The legs have prominent spurs. The larvae have the C-shape and creamy white appearance typical of the scarabaeiforms. The 4-segmented legs are well-developed; the front legs are used to stridulate by rubbing against the margin of the epipharynx, a habit unique to this family. Adults are known to feed on invertebrate and vertebrate carrion, with some found in dung. Larvae have been found in decomposing plant material. Little more is known of their life histories. The group has ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Ceratocanthinae
''Ceratocanthinae'' is a subfamily of the scarabaeoid beetle family Hybosoridae. It includes three tribes comprising 43 genera and 366 species; it was formerly treated as a separate family, Ceratocanthidae. Description Ceratocanthinae are small sized beetles from 2.0 to 10.0 millimeters in length. Adult beetles can be found on the bark and branches of dead trees and on fungus. Distribution Ceratocanthinae are relatively widespread. They can be found in Australian, Afrotropical, Indomalaysian, Neotropical, Nearctic, and Palaearctic regions. Ecology The adults have been found to associate with termites and ants. Larvae live under bark and in burrows of bessbugs (Passalidae Passalidae is a family of beetles known variously as "bessbugs", "bess beetles", "betsy beetles" or "horned passalus beetles". Nearly all of the 500-odd species are tropical; species found in North America are notable for their size, ranging from ...). Taxonomy The subfamily Ceratocanthinae contains 43 ...

Scarabaeidae
The family Scarabaeidae, as currently defined, consists of over 30,000 species of beetles worldwide; they are often called scarabs or scarab beetles. The classification of this family has undergone significant change in recent years. Several subfamilies have been elevated to family rank (e.g., Bolboceratidae, Geotrupidae, Glaresidae, Glaphyridae, Hybosoridae, Ochodaeidae, and Pleocomidae), and some reduced to lower ranks. The subfamilies listed in this article are in accordance with those in Bouchard (2011). Description Scarabs are stout-bodied beetles, many with bright metallic colours, measuring between . They have distinctive, clubbed antennae composed of plates called lamellae that can be compressed into a ball or fanned out like leaves to sense odours. Many species are fossorial, with legs adapted for digging. In some groups males (and sometimes females) have prominent horns on the head and/or pronotum to fight over mates or resources. The largest fossil scaraba ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Scarabaeiformia
Scarabaeoidea is a Taxonomic rank, superfamily of beetles, the only subgroup of the infraorder Scarabaeiformia. Around 35,000 species are placed in this superfamily and some 200 new species are described each year. Its constituent families are also undergoing revision presently, and the family list below is only preliminary. The oldest confirmed member of the group is ''Alloioscarabaeus'' from the Middle Jurassic Jiulongshan Formation of Inner Mongolia, China. Families The following families are listed in Bouchard (2011): * Belohinidae Paulian, 1959 * Diphyllostomatidae Holloway, 1972 (false stag beetles) * Geotrupidae Pierre André Latreille, Latreille, 1802 (earth-boring dung beetles) * Glaphyridae William Sharp MacLeay, MacLeay, 1819 (bumble bee scarab beetles) * Glaresidae Kolbe, 1905 (enigmatic scarab beetles) * Hybosoridae Wilhelm Ferdinand Erichson, Erichson, 1847 (scavenging scarab beetles) ** inclusive of Ceratocanthidae (pill scarab beetles) * Lucanidae Latreille 180 ...
