Guides
Berginus
Berginus is a genus of hairy fungus beetles in the family Mycetophagidae, established by Erichson in 1846. The genus contains at least three described species distributed across North America and Europe. Members of this genus are associated with fungal habitats. The genus is classified in the subfamily Bergininae, which bears its name.
Litargus balteatus
stored grain fungus beetle
Litargus balteatus, commonly known as the stored grain fungus beetle, is a small beetle in the family Mycetophagidae (hairy fungus beetles). It has been documented across multiple continents including North America, Europe, Oceania, and temperate Asia. As its common name suggests, it is associated with stored grain environments where fungal growth occurs. The species is part of a group of beetles specialized in feeding on fungi, particularly in stored products and related habitats.
Litargus grandis
hairy fungus beetle
Litargus grandis is a species of hairy fungus beetle in the family Mycetophagidae, described by Schaeffer in 1910. It is native to North America. Members of this family are generally associated with fungal growth on decaying wood and other organic matter.
Litargus nebulosus
Litargus nebulosus is a species of hairy fungus beetle in the family Mycetophagidae, described by LeConte in 1856. It belongs to the subgenus Alitargus within the genus Litargus. The species is known from North America, with records from the United States. Mycetophagidae beetles are typically associated with fungal substrates, though specific ecological details for this species remain limited in available sources.
Mycetophagus distinctus
hairy fungus beetle
Mycetophagus distinctus is a species of hairy fungus beetle in the family Mycetophagidae, described by Hatch in 1962. As a member of this family, it is associated with fungal habitats, though specific ecological details remain poorly documented. The species is known from North America, with records from Canada (Alberta, British Columbia) and the United States.
Mycetophagus obsoletus
hairy fungus beetle
Mycetophagus obsoletus is a species of hairy fungus beetle in the family Mycetophagidae, described by Melsheimer in 1844. The species is known from North America, with records from the United States. As a member of the Mycetophagidae, it is associated with fungal habitats.
Mycetophagus pini
Mycetophagus pini is a species of hairy fungus beetle in the family Mycetophagidae, described by Ziegler in 1845. The genus Mycetophagus comprises beetles associated with fungal growth on decaying wood. Records indicate this species occurs in North America, specifically the United States. As with other members of its family, it likely inhabits environments where fungi colonize dead or dying wood.
Mycetophagus serrulatus
Mycetophagus serrulatus is a species of hairy fungus beetle in the family Mycetophagidae, first described by Casey in 1900. It belongs to a group of beetles associated with fungal substrates. The species is known from North America, with documented records in Canada and the United States.
Neotriphyllus
Neotriphyllus is a genus of hairy fungus beetles in the family Mycetophagidae, described in 2014. It belongs to the tribe Typhaeini within the subfamily Mycetophaginae. The genus was erected based on morphological distinctions from related genera. Very few observations of this genus exist in public databases.
Thrimolus
hairy fungus beetles
Thrimolus is a genus of hairy fungus beetles in the family Mycetophagidae, established by Thomas L. Casey in 1900. The genus contains at least two described species: Thrimolus duryi and Thrimolus minutus. As members of Mycetophagidae, these beetles are associated with fungal habitats. The genus is placed in the tribe Typhaeini within the subfamily Mycetophaginae.
