  • Motschulskium

    Motschulskium is a genus of minute featherwing beetles in the family Ptiliidae, subfamily Nossidiinae. These beetles are among the smallest insects known, with most Ptiliidae measuring under 1 mm in length. The genus was established by Matthews in 1872 and is distinguished from related genera primarily by genitalic and antennal characteristics. Species within this genus are poorly known and rarely collected due to their minute size and cryptic habits.
