Mycteridae
Palm and Flower Beetles
Mycteridae is a small family of tenebrionoid beetles comprising approximately 30 genera and 160 species distributed worldwide. The family includes three subfamilies—Mycterinae, Hemipeplinae, and Eurypinae (= Lacconotinae)—which exhibit extreme morphological diversity that complicates family-level diagnosis of adults. Species occur across temperate and tropical regions of both hemispheres, with about 20 species in Australia and representatives of three genera (*Mycterus*, *Hemipeplus*, *Lacconotus*) in North America. The family has been recently referred to as "palm and flower beetles" by some authors.
