  • Carpophilinae

    Carpophilinae is a subfamily of sap beetles (Nitidulidae) comprising at least 70 described species across six genera: Amphicrossus, Aphenolia, Carpophilus, Caplothorax, Epuraea, Nitops, and Urophorus. Recent phylogenetic studies have reclassified the group, elevating Caplothorax to generic rank and confirming the monophyly of Nitops, Urophorus, and Caplothorax. The subfamily exhibits multiple independent origins of anthophily (flower-visiting behavior), a trait that has evolved convergently across lineages.

  • Duospina

    Duospina is a genus of small moths in the family Batrachedridae, originally described by Hodges in 1966. The genus was formerly classified within the family Coleophoridae but has since been reassigned based on morphological and phylogenetic evidence. It contains three described species distributed across North America and Europe.

  • Hymenorus

    comb-clawed beetles

    Hymenorus is a genus of comb-clawed beetles in the family Tenebrionidae, containing more than 160 described species. These beetles were formerly classified in their own family Alleculidae but are now recognized as a subfamily within Tenebrionidae. They are characterized by their distinctive antennae and do not conform to the typical appearance of 'classic' darkling beetles.

  • Hymenorus

    comb-clawed beetle

    Hymenorus is a genus of comb-clawed beetles in the family Tenebrionidae, subfamily Alleculinae. These beetles were formerly classified in their own family, Alleculidae, but were recently reclassified as part of Tenebrionidae. They represent one of several groups of beetles that complicate the traditional 'darkling beetle' stereotype, as they do not closely resemble the more familiar Eleodes-type darkling beetles.

  • Nanophyinae

    Nanophyinae is a subfamily of weevils in the family Brentidae, comprising two tribes (Corimaliini and Nanophyini) and including the genus Zhangius. The group was originally established as a family in 1848 but later reclassified. Members exhibit considerable morphological diversity, with some genera showing canopy-dwelling habits and associations with specific host plants in Lythraceae.
