Flower-foraging

Campylomorphus
Campylomorphus is a monotypic genus of click beetles (Elateridae) containing a single species, Campylomorphus homalisinus. The genus is characterized by its rare orophilous (mountain-dwelling) habit and discontinuous distribution across southwestern Europe. Adults are small, flower-foraging beetles with generalist feeding strategies. The genus exhibits a fragmented geographic pattern hypothesized to reflect Pleistocene glaciation dynamics.
Clerinae
Clerinae is a subfamily of checkered beetles (family Cleridae) comprising numerous genera distributed across tropical and temperate regions worldwide. The subfamily includes diverse species with varied ecological associations, including flower-visiting and predatory behaviors. Taxonomic revisions have substantially expanded recognized diversity, with many genera such as Neorthrius, Xenorthrius, Erymanthus, Eunatalis, Tillicera, and Enoclerus undergoing recent systematic study. Some lineages show strong biogeographic patterns linked to Gondwanan origins and Andean vicariance events.
