Beetle
Beetles are insects that form the order Coleoptera (), in the superorder Endopterygota. Their front pair of wings are hardened into wing-cases, elytra, distinguishing them from most other insects. The Coleoptera, with about 400,000 described species, is the largest of all orders, constituting almost 40% of described insects and 25% of all known animal life-forms; new species are discovered frequently, with estimates suggesting that there are between 0.9 and 2.1 million total species. Found in almost every habitat except the sea and the polar regions, they interact with their ecosystems in several ways: beetles often feed on plants and fungi, break down animal and plant debris, and eat other invertebrates. Some species are serious agricultural pests, such as the Colorado potato beetle, while others such as Coccinellidae (ladybirds or ladybugs) eat aphids, scale insects, thrips, and other plant-sucking insects that damage crops. Beetles typically have a particularly hard e ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Mycetaeidae
Mycetaeidae is a family of beetles in the superfamily Coccinelloidea, formerly included within the family Endomychidae. There are two genera currently included in the family, '' Agaricophilus'' and '' Mycetaea,'' which are morphologically divergent from each other, and it is unclear whether they are closely related. ''Mycetaea'' is found in North America, Europe and South Africa, while ''Agaricophilus'' is restricted to Europe. While the life history of ''Agaricophilus'' is obscure, ''Mycetaea'' is known to be mycophagous, feeding on mold A mold () or mould () is one of the structures certain fungus, fungi can form. The dust-like, colored appearance of molds is due to the formation of Spore#Fungi, spores containing Secondary metabolite#Fungal secondary metabolites, fungal seco ...s.

Coccinelloidea Genera
Coccinelloidea is a superfamily of beetles in the order Coleoptera, formerly included in the superfamily Cucujoidea. There are more than 10,000 species in Coccinelloidea, including more than 6000 in the lady beetle family Coccinellidae. Morphology Adult Coccinelloidea have a reduced tarsal formula (each tarsus with 4 or 3 segments), hind coxae separated by more than 1/3 their width, the intercoxal process of abdominal ventrite 1 usually broadly rounded or truncate, hindwings with reduced anal veins and lacking a closed radial cell, the adeagus resting on its side when retracted and the phallobase usually reduced. Larval Coccinelloidea have a unisetose pretarsal claw, spiracles that are usually annular, and the sensory appendage of the second antennal segment usually as long as the third segment. Families The family constituency of this lineage has changed considerably over time, from as few as four or five recognized families in 1970 to 15 in 2015. * Akalyptoischiidae Lo ...
