Oedemerinae
Oedemerinae are a subfamily of the false blister beetles (family Oedemeridae), also known as pollen-feeding beetles. The Nacerdinae are sometimes merged here. The phylogeny of this family is not robustly deduced in detail. While traditionally three tribes are accepted, one is considered monotypic and another has only two genera. Though this may well be warranted, the evolutionary relationships the Oedemerinae are generally in need of review, particularly considering the number of genera treated as basal or of entirely uncertain placement. Tribes and selected genera The subfamily Oedemerinae contains the following genera: ; Tribe Asclerini Semenov, 1894 * '' Afrochitona'' * '' Alloxantha'' Seidlitz, 1899 * '' Anacerdochroa'' Svihla, 1986 * '' Ananca'' Fairmaire & Germain, 1863 * '' Apterosessinia'' Blair, 1926 * '' Asclerosibutia'' Pic, 1914 * '' Baculipalpus'' Broun, 1880 * '' Chitona'' W.Schmidt, 1844 * '' Colobostomoides'' Svihla, 1983 * '' Copidita'' LeConte, 1866 * '' D ...

False Blister Beetle
The family Oedemeridae is a cosmopolitan group of 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 describ ...s commonly known as false blister beetles, though some recent authors have coined the name pollen-feeding beetles. There are some 100 genera and 1,500 species in the family, mostly associated with rotting wood as larvae, though adults are quite common on flowers. The family was erected by Pierre André Latreille in 1810. Characteristics Oedemeridae may be defined as slender, soft-bodied beetles of medium size found mostly on flowers and foliage. The head lacks a narrow neck, the antenna (biology), antennae are long and filiform, the pronotum lacks lateral edges and is much narrower than elytra, the tarsi are heteromerous with bilobed penultimate segment, the procoxal cavitie ...
