	Microsternus Tricolor ''Microsternus tricolor'' is a species of pleasing fungus beetle in the family Erotylidae. It is endemic to China, Taiwan, Russia and Japan. The species' name comes from Greek and Latin, "tricolor" meaning "three colors". Description ''Microsternus tricolor'' are 3 to 5 mm long and 1.4 to 2.4 mm wide. It has three colors as the name suggests, those being red, orange/yellow and black. These beetles have a punctured, close pronotum and orange and black bands of elytra An elytron (; ; , ) is a modified, hardened forewing of beetles (Coleoptera), though a few of the true bugs (Hemiptera) such as the family Schizopteridae are extremely similar; in true bugs, the forewings are called hemelytra (sometimes alterna .... Taxonomy and systematics ''Microsternus tricolor'' was discovered by Lewis in 1887.

picture info	Pleasing Fungus Beetle ''Ischyrus quadripunctatus'' Erotylidae, or the pleasing fungus beetles, is a family of beetles belonging to Cucujoidea containing over 100 genera. In the present circumscription, it contains 6 tribes (Tritomini, Dacnini, Megalodacnini, Erotylini, Cryptophilini, and Languriini) and 10 subfamilies ( Cryptophilinae, Dacninae, Encaustinae, Erotylinae, Languriinae, Loberinae, Megalodacninae, Pharaxonothinae, Tritominae, and Xenoscelinae). In other words, the narrowly circumscribed Erotylidae correspond to the subfamily Erotylinae in the definition ''sensu lato''. There are doubts on the monophyly of lower ranked taxa within Erotylidae, with further phylogenetic studies requiring better sampling and studies of unexplored character sets, for example the metendosternite and penile flagellum, which are generally lacking detailed morphological studies within the Coleoptera literature. The Eroytlina taxonomy is based off traits such as their different colors and not off morphol ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
