Guides

  • Calodera parviceps

    Calodera parviceps is a species of rove beetle (Staphylinidae) in the subfamily Aleocharinae. First described by Casey in 1893, this small beetle is distributed across northern North America including Canada and Alaska. It belongs to the tribe Oxypodini, a group of aleocharine rove beetles. The species epithet "parviceps" (small head) likely refers to a distinguishing morphological feature.

  • Judolia gaurotoides

    Black-banded Long-horned Beetle

    Judolia gaurotoides is a species of longhorned beetle in the family Cerambycidae, described by Casey in 1893. It belongs to the subfamily Lepturinae, a group commonly known as flower longhorns. The species is known from North America, with records from both Canada and the United States. As a member of the genus Judolia, it shares characteristics with other small to medium-sized lepturines that are often associated with flowers and decaying wood.

  • Myrmoecia lauta

    Myrmoecia lauta is a rove beetle in the family Staphylinidae, subfamily Aleocharinae. The species was described by Casey in 1893. It belongs to the tribe Lomechusini, a group known for myrmecophilous (ant-associated) associations. Records indicate presence in northeastern North America with some questionable reports from China.

  • Paromalus mancus

    clown beetle

    Paromalus mancus is a species of clown beetle in the family Histeridae, first described by Thomas Lincoln Casey in 1893. It belongs to a group of small beetles commonly associated with decaying organic matter and carrion. The species has been documented across western North America, with records spanning from Alaska to California and inland to Idaho.

  • Pella angustula

    Pella angustula is a species of rove beetle in the family Staphylinidae, first described by Thomas L. Casey in 1893. It is recorded from North America, specifically from Florida in the United States. The species belongs to the subfamily Aleocharinae, a large and diverse group of rove beetles.

  • Platandria

    Platandria is a genus of rove beetles (Staphylinidae) in the subfamily Aleocharinae, tribe Hoplandriini. Established by Casey in 1893, this genus belongs to a diverse group of small to medium-sized beetles characterized by shortened elytra. The genus has been recorded from the Chingaza region, suggesting a Neotropical distribution. Platandria species are likely associated with soil and leaf litter habitats, as is common for aleocharine rove beetles, though specific ecological details remain poorly documented.

  • Psephenus falli

    Western Water Penny Beetle

    Psephenus falli is a species of water penny beetle in the family Psephenidae. It is known from the west coast of North America. Like other members of its family, the larvae are aquatic and have a distinctive flattened, disc-like form that gives the group its common name. The species was described by Thomas Casey in 1893.
