Agonoscelidini
Agonoscelidini is a monotypic tribe of shield bugs (family Pentatomidae) containing the single genus Agonoscelis. Members are native to the Afrotropics and Australia, with at least one species introduced to the New World. Some species are recognized as agricultural pests.
Cnemodinus
Cnemodinus is a genus of darkling beetles in the family Tenebrionidae, established by Cockerell in 1906. It is the sole genus in the monotypic tribe Cnemodinini. The genus contains three described species: Cnemodinus angustus, Cnemodinus subhyalinus, and Cnemodinus testaceus. These species were described by Casey (1907) and Horn (1870).
Curiini
Curiini is a tribe of longhorn beetles in the subfamily Cerambycinae. It contains a single genus, Curius. The tribe is distinguished by unique morphological features that separate it from other cerambycine tribes. Members are found in the Neotropical region.
Curius
Curius is a genus of longhorn beetles (Cerambycidae) and the sole genus in the tribe Curiini. It contains four described species distributed in the Americas. The genus was established by Newman in 1840. Members are classified in the subfamily Cerambycinae, a diverse group of wood-boring beetles.
Didactyliini
Didactyliini is a small tribe of water scavenger beetles within the family Hydrophilidae, currently containing the single genus Didactylus. Members of this tribe are aquatic beetles distinguished by reduced tarsal segmentation, with only two visible tarsomeres on the fore and mid legs. The tribe was established to accommodate this unusual morphological condition, which separates it from other Hydrophilinae. The genus occurs in the Neotropical region, where species inhabit freshwater environments.
Lissonotus
Lissonotus is a genus of longhorn beetles (Cerambycidae) and the sole genus in the tribe Lissonotini. These beetles are part of the diverse Cerambycinae subfamily, which contains many wood-boring species. The genus was established by Dalman in 1817 and contains multiple species, though specific details about individual species remain limited in available sources.
Pelophilini
Pelophilini is a small tribe of ground beetles (Carabidae) in the subfamily Nebriinae, established by Kavanaugh in 1996. The tribe contains a single genus, Pelophila, with species distributed in cool, moist habitats across the Northern Hemisphere. Members are characterized by adaptations to riparian and shoreline environments.
Platyprosopus
Platyprosopus is a genus of rove beetles (Staphylinidae: Staphylininae) comprising the monotypic tribe Platyprosopini. Species exhibit a nearly worldwide distribution and are consistently associated with humid environments near rivers. The genus is notable for possessing a distinctive set of three abdominal openings at the base of tergites and sternites, associated with a reinforced muscular system and presumed glandular cells, though the biological function of these structures remains unknown.
Plectromerini
Plectromerini is a monotypic tribe of longhorn beetles (Cerambycidae) within the subfamily Cerambycinae. The tribe contains only the genus Plectromerus, which comprises several species of wood-boring beetles. These beetles are characterized by their elongated bodies and antennae typical of the Cerambycidae family.
