Round Fungus Beetle
Leiodidae is a family of beetles with around 3800 described species found worldwide. Members of this family are commonly called round fungus beetles due to the globular shape of many species, although some are more elongated in shape. They are generally small or very small beetles (less than 10 mm in length) and many (but not all) species have clubbed antennae. Members of the family are generally saprophagous or scavengers feeding on carrion or decaying organic matter like dung, or are specialised on feeding on specific types of fungus. Many species have reduced wings, with about half of all described species being flightless. The oldest fossil of the family is '' Mesagyrtoides'' from Shar-Teg, Mongolia, dating the Late Jurassic (Tithonian). Members of modern subfamilies appear during the Cretaceous, with Cretaceous members of the family being primarily known from Burmese amber. See also * List of Leiodidae genera These 379 genera belong to the family Leiodidae, round ...

Gelae
''Gelae'' () is a genus of round fungus beetles belonging to the family Leiodidae. The beetles are found in different parts of Central and North America. They are small and rounded, feeding on slime moulds. They were originally placed in the genus ''Agathidium'' following the discovery of the first species, ''G. cognatum'', in 1878. The taxonomic position was revised with description of new species in 2004 by American entomologists Kelly B. Miller and Quentin D. Wheeler. Upon creation of the new genus, the five new species are ''Gelae baen'' (sounding like "jelly bean"), ''G. belae'' ("jelly belly"), '' G. donut'' ("jelly doughnut"), ''G. fish'' ("jelly fish"), and ''G. rol'' ("jelly roll"). Discovery and taxonomy The first species of ''Gelae'' discovered was ''Agathidium cognatum'' (now ''Gelae cognatum''). John Lawrence LeConte discovered the only specimen at Marquette, Michigan, near Lake Superior, in 1878. Another specimen was found by Andrew Matthews in 1887 from the mounta ...
