Bolitophagini
Bolitophagini is a tribe of darkling beetles (family Tenebrionidae) comprising more than 20 genera. The tribe is named after its type genus Bolitophagus, whose name derives from Greek meaning 'fungus-eater'. Members are primarily associated with forest habitats and feed on fungi, particularly bracket fungi (polypores). The tribe has a fossil record extending to the Eocene, indicating long-term persistence in forest ecosystems.
Eustrophinae
Eustrophinae is a subfamily of beetles within the family Tetratomidae, established by Gistel in 1848. These beetles are part of the superfamily Tenebrionoidea and are characterized by their association with fungal habitats. The subfamily includes genera such as Eustrophus and Pseudoholostrophus. Members are small to medium-sized beetles with relatively uniform morphology across the group.
Hallomenus punctulatus
polypore fungus beetle
Hallomenus punctulatus is a species of polypore fungus beetle in the family Tetratomidae, a group of small beetles associated with fungal substrates. The species was described by LeConte in 1866 and is known from North America. Like other members of its family, it likely develops in association with polypore fungi.
Synstrophus repandus
polypore fungus beetle
Synstrophus repandus is a species of polypore fungus beetle in the family Tetratomidae. It was originally described as Eustrophus repandus by Horn in 1888. The species is distributed across North America, with confirmed records from British Columbia, Manitoba, and New Brunswick in Canada. As a member of Tetratomidae, it is associated with fungal habitats, particularly polypore fungi.
Tetratoma
Tetratoma is a genus of polypore fungus beetles comprising approximately 25 described species. These small beetles are associated with wood-decaying fungi and are members of the family Tetratomidae within the superfamily Tenebrionoidea. The genus was established by Fabricius in 1790 and is primarily distributed across northern and temperate regions of the Palearctic.
Tetratoma concolor
Polypore fungus beetle
Tetratoma concolor is a species of polypore fungus beetle in the family Tetratomidae, described by LeConte in 1879. The species is found in North America, with records from Canada including Alberta, British Columbia, and Manitoba. As a member of Tetratomidae, it is associated with polypore fungi, though specific biological details remain poorly documented.
Tetratoma truncorum
Tetratoma truncorum is a species of polypore fungus beetle in the family Tetratomidae. It is found in North America, with confirmed records from Ontario and Québec in Canada. The species belongs to a small family of beetles associated with fungal habitats.
