Analysis of the Mitogenomes of Two Helotid Species Provides New Insights into the Phylogenetic Relationship of the Basal Cucujoidea (Insecta: Coleoptera) [PDF]
Biology, 2023 Helotid beetles are commonly found in places where sap flows from tree trunks and in crevices in bark. The Helotidae family is a rare and primitive group of Cucujoidea. To date, no complete mitochondrial (mt) genome has been sequenced for this family. To

Integrated phylogenomics and fossil data illuminate the evolution of beetles [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2022 Beetles constitute the most biodiverse animal order with over 380 000 described species and possibly several million more yet unnamed. Recent phylogenomic studies have arrived at considerably incongruent topologies and widely varying estimates of ...

An enigmatic Cretaceous beetle with possible affinity to Erotylidae (Coleoptera: Cucujiformia) [PDF]
Current Research in Insect ScienceThe morphology of beetles of the recently defined superfamilies Erotyloidea, Nitiduloidea and Cucujoidea is varied. Determining the systematic positions of Mesozoic fossils within these groups can often be challenging.
