Ozognathus
death-watch beetles, spider beetles
Ozognathus is a genus of beetles in the family Ptinidae, commonly referred to as death-watch and spider beetles. The genus contains at least 11 recognized species native to the Americas. One species, Ozognathus cornutus, has become established as an alien species in Europe and the Mediterranean region, where it colonizes woody galls and decaying organic matter. The genus is taxonomically placed in the subfamily Ernobiinae (or historically Anobiinae), reflecting its close relationship to other wood-associated beetles.
Salebriaria equivoca
Salebriaria equivoca is a species of death-watch beetle in the family Anobiidae. It belongs to a genus of small, wood-boring beetles found in North America. Like other anobiids, larvae develop in dead or decaying wood, contributing to nutrient cycling in forest ecosystems. The species is part of the subfamily Ernobiinae, which includes beetles associated with hardwood substrates.
