Notoxus
Hooded Antlike Flower Beetles
Notoxus is a large genus of ant-like beetles in the family Anthicidae, comprising approximately 300 species worldwide. Members are commonly known as "Hooded Antlike Flower Beetles" due to their pronounced pronotal hood structure and superficial resemblance to ants. The genus is taxonomically placed in the subfamily Notoxinae. Despite their ant-like appearance, they are beetles with complete metamorphosis. One species, Notoxus monoceros, has documented life cycle data in scientific literature.
Parmulini
minute hooded beetles
Parmulini is a tribe of minute hooded beetles in the family Corylophidae, established by Poey in 1854. The tribe contains at least two genera—Arthrolips and Clypastraea—and more than 40 described species. These beetles are characterized by their small size and hooded body form. Members of this tribe are part of the superfamily Coccinelloidea within the suborder Polyphaga.
