Gloeosoma hesperum
Gloeosoma hesperum is a minute beetle species in the family Corylophidae, a group commonly known as minute fungus beetles. First described by Casey in 1900, this species belongs to a genus characterized by extremely small body size and association with fungal substrates. The family Corylophidae is among the smallest beetles in North America, with most species measuring less than 2 mm in length. Records indicate presence in Nova Scotia, Canada, though detailed biological information remains sparse due to the cryptic habits and diminutive size of these insects.
Gloeosoma truncatus
Gloeosoma truncatus is a minute beetle in the family Corylophidae, commonly known as minute fungus beetles. The species was described by LeConte in 1852. Members of this family are typically associated with fungal growth and decaying organic matter. The genus Gloeosoma is characterized by its small size and distinctive body form among Corylophidae.
Holopsis convexa
Holopsis convexa is a minute beetle species in the family Corylophidae, a group commonly known as minute fungus beetles. The species was described by Casey in 1900 and is known to occur in North America. Members of this family are typically associated with fungal growth and decaying organic matter. Like other corylophids, H. convexa is likely extremely small in size, with adults often measuring less than 2 millimeters in length.
