Hexathrombium
Hexathrombium is a genus of parasitic mites in the family Microtrombidiidae. These mites have been documented as ectoparasites of beetles, specifically recorded from the carabid beetle Ceroglossus buqueti. The genus was established by Cooreman in 1944. As microtrombidiid mites, they likely belong to the parasitic life stage known as the parasitengone life cycle, though specific details for this genus remain limited.
Trimorus
Trimorus is a genus of minute parasitoid wasps in the subfamily Teleasinae, family Scelionidae. These wasps are egg parasitoids of ground beetles (Carabidae), with females laying eggs inside beetle eggs. The genus is highly diverse, with approximately 389 described species worldwide, though many more likely remain undescribed. Members exhibit striking sexual dimorphism and wing polymorphism, with both sexes showing variation from fully winged to completely wingless forms.
