Coleoptera Larval Fauna Associated with Termite Nests (Isoptera) with Emphasis on the “Bioluminescent Termite Nests” from Central Brazil

Psyche: A Journal of Entomology, Volume 2010, Issue 1, 2010., 2010
Beetle larvae that inhabit termite nests present modifications that allow them to cohabitate with the termites. Some are physogastric and bear special glands and different setae all over their bodies, whereas others are not physogastric. Both kinds of larvae may be termite predators. Some species usually live in the nest cabbage pan, feeding on organic

Phylogenomics‐based click‐beetle classification tackles multiple origins of phenotypic modifications

Systematic Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 1, January‐March 2026.
Using a concatenated dataset consisting of new genomic data from 73 species across 40 click‐beetle tribes and an earlier published, smaller dataset, we conducted the first 4200‐ortholog study targeting the phylogeny of Elateridae with the highest resolution to date.

Description of Lacon mertliki sp. nov. (Coleoptera: Elateridae: Agrypninae) from the Hyrcanian forest ecoregion, with a key to the Lacon species of Iran

European Journal of Taxonomy, 2019
In this study we describe a new species of the click-beetle genus Lacon Laporte, 1838 from the relict Hyrcanian forest in northern Iran. Lacon mertliki sp. nov. is morphologically similar to L.

Deep‐soil sampling in Chile reveals a new elateroid beetle family, Badmaateridae fam. nov. (Coleoptera)

Systematic Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 1, January‐March 2026.
Genomic data support the definition of a new elateroid family, Badmaateridae fam. nov., with Badmaater chilensis gen. nov. sp. nov. as the only representative. Badmaateridae is sister to an extensive clade containing fireflies, soldier beetles, net‐winged beetles and click beetles.

Review and classification of Omethidae (Coleoptera: Elateroidea), with phylogenomic evidence supporting the inclusion of Telegeusinae in the family

Systematic Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 1, January‐March 2026.
This is the first phylogenomic study of Omethidae using genome skimming, sampling representatives of all subfamilies to resolve long‐standing conflicts between morphology‐ and multigene‐based hypotheses. Phylogenomic analyses recovered Omethidae sister to Artematopodidae and strongly support Telegeusinae as a subfamily of Omethidae, rejecting its ...

The cryptonephridial/rectal complex: an evolutionary adaptation for water and ion conservation

Biological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 2, Page 647-671, April 2025.
ABSTRACT Arthropods have integrated digestive and renal systems, which function to acquire and maintain homeostatically the substances they require for survival. The cryptonephridial complex (CNC) is an evolutionary novelty in which the renal organs and gut have been dramatically reorganised. Parts of the renal or Malpighian tubules (MpTs) form a close
