Peltis
Peltis is a genus of small, flattened beetles and the sole extant member of the family Peltidae. Species occur in North America and Europe, where they inhabit primeval forests and deadwood habitats. The genus includes rare, red-listed species such as Peltis grossa, which has shown population recovery following natural forest disturbances that increase deadwood availability.
