Horned Powder-post Beetle
The Bostrichidae are a family of beetles with more than 700 described species. They are commonly called auger beetles, false powderpost beetles, or horned powderpost beetles. The head of most auger beetles cannot be seen from above, as it is downwardly directed and hidden by the thorax. Exceptions are the powderpost beetles (subfamily Lyctinae), and members of the subfamily Psoinae. ''Bostrychoplites cornutus'' has large, distinctive thoracic horns, and is found in parts of Africa and Arabia; it is often imported to Europe as larvae in African wooden bowls ("ethnic souvenirs") . The fossil record of the family extends to the Cretaceous, with the oldest records being from the Cenomanian aged Charentese and Burmese ambers, belonging to the extant genus ''Stephanopachys'' and the extant subfamilies Dinoderinae and Polycaoninae. Selected species This list is incomplete: * '' Amphicerus cornutus'' (Pallas, 1772) * ''Apate terebrans'' (Pallas, 1772) * ''Prostephanus truncatus ...
