Omalisinae
The Omalisinae (formerly family Omalisidae) are a small subfamily of morphologically derived elaterid beetles. The Omalisinae were long considered an independent family in the deprecated family Cantharoidea (more closely related to soft-bodied beetles like fireflies, than click beetles), and later a family in the Elateroidea, but molecular phylogenies have demonstrated the morphological similarity of Omalisinae to other soft bodied beetles is a case of parallel evolution (homoplasy) of their soft bodies, rather than an apomorphy. Members of this beetle subfamily have been reported to have bioluminescent organs on the larvae, although no recent publications have confirmed this. Some recent evidence indicated they were the sister group to a clade comprising the families Rhagophthalmidae and Phengodidae The beetle family Phengodidae is known also as glowworm beetles, whose larvae are known as glowworms. The females and larvae have bioluminescence, bioluminescent organs. They oc ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Elateridae
Elateridae or click beetles (or "typical click beetles" to distinguish them from the related families Cerophytidae and Eucnemidae, which are also capable of clicking) are a family of beetles. Other names include elaters, snapping beetles, spring beetles or skipjacks. This family was defined by William Elford Leach (1790–1836) in 1815. They are a cosmopolitan beetle family characterized by the unusual click mechanism they possess. There are a few other families of Elateroidea in which a few members have the same mechanism, but most elaterid subfamilies can click. A spine on the prosternum can be snapped into a corresponding notch on the mesosternum, producing a violent "click" that can bounce the beetle into the air. Clicking is mainly used to avoid predation, although it is also useful when the beetle is on its back and needs to right itself. There are about 9300 known species worldwide, and 965 valid species in North America. Etymology Leach took the family name from the g ...

Cantharoidea
The Cantharoid beetles are a deprecated non-monophyletic taxonomic grouping (formerly superfamily Cantharoidea), whose former members are now mostly within the currently accepted superfamily Elateroidea, and some (the former families Drilidae and Omalisidae) are now within Elateridae. One former family, Cneoglossidae, is now in the superfamily Byrrhoidea. Families * Lampyridae – firefly beetles * Rhagophthalmidae – Asian starworms * Phengodidae LeConte 1861 – glowworm beetles * Brachypsectridae Leconte & Horn, 1883 – Texas beetles * Lycidae – net-winged beetles * Omethidae LeConte, 1861 – false firefly beetles (including Telegeusidae) * Cantharidae The soldier beetles (Cantharidae) are relatively soft-bodied, straight-sided beetles. They are cosmopolitan in distribution. One of the first described species has a color pattern reminiscent of the Red coat (British army), red coats of early Bri ... – soldier beetles (including Chauliognathidae) References ...

Omalisus Fontisbellaquaei
''Omalisus fontisbellaquaei'' is a species of beetle belonging to the family Elateridae. These beetles are mainly present in Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, France, Germany, Italy, Switzerland and in the Near East. The adults grow up to long and can mostly be encountered in late spring usually in damp meadows. Their body is black, while elytra are reddish, with a longitudinal dark stripe. The larvae are bioluminescent and are predator Predation is a biological interaction where one organism, the predator, kills and eats another organism, its prey. It is one of a family of common feeding behaviours that includes parasitism and micropredation (which usually do not kill th ...s of snails.
