Camptodes
Camptodes is a genus of small sap-feeding beetles in the family Nitidulidae, established by Erichson in 1843. The genus contains approximately nine described species distributed across multiple continents. Members are associated with fermenting plant sap and decaying organic matter.
Epuraea
sap beetles
Epuraea is a genus of small sap-feeding beetles in the family Nitidulidae, first described by Erichson in 1843. The genus contains at least 40 described species distributed across northern temperate regions. Epuraea species are primarily associated with fermenting plant materials, fungal sporulation structures, and decaying organic matter. Several species have documented relationships with specific fungal pathogens of trees, including western gall rust and oak wilt fungus. The genus exhibits considerable ecological diversity, with some species occurring in bumblebee nests and others developing on agricultural crops.
Epuraea terminalis
Epuraea terminalis is a small sap-feeding beetle in the family Nitidulidae, first described by Mannerheim in 1843. It has a broad Holarctic distribution, occurring across Europe, Northern Asia (excluding China), and North America. As a member of the sap beetle family, it is associated with fermenting plant materials and fungal substrates. The species is documented in entomological collections and observation records, though detailed biological studies remain limited.
