Anaspis atrata
Black False Flower Beetle
Anaspis atrata is a species of false flower beetle in the family Scraptiidae, described by Champion in 1891. It is known from North America, with records from Canada (Alberta, British Columbia, Saskatchewan) and the United States. The common name "Black False Flower Beetle" refers to its dark coloration. Like other members of Scraptiidae, it belongs to a group sometimes treated as a subfamily of Melyridae (soft-winged flower beetles).
Anaspis duryi
Anaspis duryi is a species of false flower beetle in the family Scraptiidae, described by Liljeblad in 1945. The species is known from North America, with records from British Columbia, Canada. Like other members of the genus Anaspis, it is a small beetle associated with flowers and vegetation. The family Scraptiidae is commonly referred to as false flower beetles due to their superficial resemblance to true flower beetles (family Melyridae).
Anaspis flavipennis
Yellow-winged False Flower Beetle
Anaspis flavipennis is a species of false flower beetle in the family Scraptiidae. It is found in North America, with records from Canada including British Columbia, Manitoba, and New Brunswick. The common name "Yellow-winged False Flower Beetle" refers to the yellow coloration of its wings.
Anaspis nigrina
Anaspis nigrina is a species of false flower beetle in the family Scraptiidae, first described by Csiki in 1915. The species is recorded from North America with specific occurrence data from British Columbia, Newfoundland, and Nova Scotia in Canada. Members of the genus Anaspis are commonly associated with flowers and vegetation, though species-specific biology for A. nigrina remains poorly documented.
Anaspis sericea
Anaspis sericea is a species of false flower beetle in the family Scraptiidae, first described by Mannerheim in 1843. The species is known from North America, with records from Alaska, United States and British Columbia, Canada. False flower beetles in this family are generally small, inconspicuous beetles often associated with flowers and decaying vegetation.
Canifa pallipes
Canifa pallipes is a species of false flower beetle in the family Scraptiidae. It is found in North America, with records from multiple Canadian provinces including British Columbia, Manitoba, and New Brunswick. The species was first described by Melsheimer in 1846. As a member of Scraptiidae, it belongs to a family of small beetles commonly associated with decaying plant matter and fungi.
Diclidia spinea
A species of false flower beetle in the family Scraptiidae, described by Liljeblad in 1945. Records indicate presence in North America, though detailed ecological information remains limited. The species belongs to a small genus within a family of beetles often associated with decaying vegetation and fungal habitats.
Pectotoma hoppingi
Pectotoma hoppingi is a species of false flower beetle in the family Scraptiidae. Described by Hatch in 1965, this species belongs to a small family of beetles often associated with decaying wood and fungal habitats. Records indicate presence in western Canada, specifically Alberta and British Columbia. The genus Pectotoma contains relatively few described species, and members of Scraptiidae are generally small, inconspicuous beetles that are poorly studied compared to related families.
Pentaria bicolor
Pentaria bicolor is a species of false flower beetle in the family Scraptiidae, first described by Liljeblad in 1918. The genus Pentaria belongs to a small family of beetles historically associated with flowers and decaying vegetation. Information specific to this species is limited in available sources.
Pentaria dispar
false flower beetle
Pentaria dispar is a species of false flower beetle in the family Scraptiidae. It is native to North America. The species belongs to a small family of beetles commonly known as false flower beetles or scraptiids, which are typically associated with decaying wood and fungal habitats.
Pentaria trifasciata
Three-banded False Flower Beetle
Pentaria trifasciata is a species of false flower beetle in the family Scraptiidae. It occurs in North America, with records from Canada (Alberta, British Columbia) and the United States. The common name refers to the three-banded pattern on the elytra. As a member of Scraptiidae, it belongs to a family of small beetles often associated with flowers and decaying vegetation.
Scraptia sericea
false flower beetle
Scraptia sericea is a species of false flower beetle in the family Scraptiidae, first described by Melsheimer in 1846. It is found in North America, with records from Québec, Canada. The species belongs to a small family of beetles commonly known as false flower beetles due to their superficial resemblance to members of the family Melyridae.
