Lined Flat Bark Beetle
Laemophloeidae, "lined flat bark beetles," is a family in the superfamily Cucujoidea characterized by predominantly dorso-ventrally compressed bodies, head and pronotal discs bordered by ridges or grooves, and inverted male genitalia. Size range of adults is in length. Currently, it contains 40 genera and about 450 species, and is represented on all continents except Antarctica; species richness is greatest in the tropics. Classicification Historically, Laemophloeidae was treated as a subfamily of Cucujidae, but starting in the middle of the 20th century, most of what had been treated as subfamilies of the Cucujidae were considered to be families. Habitat and behaviour Most laemophloeids, adults and larvae, are found under bark of dead trees, where they apparently are primarily fungivores, although some genera with adults having subcylindrical bodies (e.g., '' Leptophloeus'', '' Dysmerus'') occur in the galleries of bark beetles (Curculionidae: Scolytinae), upon which they may f ...

Laemophloeus Germaini
''Laemophloeus'' is a genus of beetles; it is the type genus of the family Laemophloeidae. The genus has been almost completely reviewed in modern times. Following Lefkovitch, by recognizing only those species congeneric with the type species, ''Laemophloeus monilis'' (Fabricius), as valid members of the genus, this reduces the size of the genus from more than a hundred species to only 28, as follows (with their distribution): * ''Laemophloeus apache'' (Thomas) orth America* '' Laemophloeus biguttatus'' (Say) orth America* ''Laemophloeus buenavista'' (Thomas) exico, Central and South America* ''Laemophloeus capitisculptus'' (Thomas) outh America* ''Laemophloeus concinnus'' (Thomas) entral and South America* ''Laemophloeus corporoflavus'' (Thomas) outh America* ''Laemophloeus dozieri'' (Thomas) outh America* '' Laemophloeus fasciatus'' (Melsheimer) orth America* '' Laemophloeus fervidus'' (Casey) orth America* ''Laemophloeus germaini'' (Grouvelle) entral and South America* ...

''Paraphloeolaemus'' is a genus of beetles in the family Laemophloeidae. It was described in 2017,Thomas, M.C. 2017: A new Neotropical genus in the Laemophloeidae, with notes on ''Phloeolaemus'' Casey (Coleoptera: Cucujoidea). ''Insecta mundi'', (0541) (PDF)/ref> for two species of Neotropical laemophloeids that did not fit comfortably into existing genera. A possible third species is represented by a single damaged specimen that could not be described until additional specimens are found. ''Paraphloeolaemus'' species are small (1.1 mm-1.9 mm), broadly flattened, testaceous beetles with conspicuous pubescence, wide open procoxal cavities, a 5-5-5 tarsal formula Tarsal formula is the number of segments of the tarsi, which has 3 numbers a-b-c, starting with the fore leg (a), then the middle leg (b), then the hind leg (c). For example, a tarsal formula of "5-5-4" as found in the Trictenotomidae means the ... in both sexes, and a coiled flagellum in the male. Some spe ...

Metaxyphloeus
''Metaxyphloeus'' is a genus of beetles in the family Laemophloeidae. It belongs to a small group of rostrate laemophloeid genera endemic to the New World.
