Rhipiceridae
Rhipiceridae is a family of beetles found worldwide. The larva of rhipicerids are parasitoids of cicada nymphs. Rhipiceridae and Dascillidae form the super family Dascilloidea, within the Elateriformia. Taxonomic History The taxonomic history of Rhipiceridae began with J. Fabricius who described ''Hispa mystacina'' in 1775, which was later included in the new genus ''Rhipicera'' by Latreille (1817) who rightly noticed that the Fabrician species did not belong to ''Hispa'' and placed it in the tribe ‘Cebrionites’ along with ''Cebrio'', ''Dascillus'' and ''Scirtes''. Since then W. Kirby, J. O. Westwood and others described several new species of ''Rhipicera'' from Australia and South America. Subfamilies and Distribution Rhipiceridae includes seven genera and about a hundred described species divided into two subfamilies, Rhipicerinae and Sandalinae. Sandalinae include most of the species and are known from North and South America, Africa, south-eastern Europe and Asia, whil ...
