Generic revision and phylogenetic analysis of the Metriorrhynchinae (Coleoptera: Lycidae) [PDF]
European Journal of Entomology, 2002 The subfamily Metriorrhynchinae is the most species-rich clade of Lycidae (Coleoptera). A recent proposal suggests that the Erotinae is a sister group of the Metriorrhynchinae.

A New Lycid Genus from the Dominican Amber (Insecta, Coleoptera, Lycidae, Leptolycinae, Leptolycini)
Psyche: A Journal of Entomology, 2012 A new fossil genus, Electropteron gen.n., and a new species, E. avus sp.n., are described from the Dominican Amber. Electropteron avus gen.n., sp.n., appears to be related to some of the extant Great Antillean lycids and is the first fossil taxon from

Persistence of multiple patterns and intraspecific polymorphism in multi-species Müllerian communities of net-winged beetles [PDF]
Frontiers in Zoology, 2019 Background In contrast to traditional models of purifying selection and a single aposematic signal in Müllerian complexes, some communities of unprofitable prey contain members with multiple aposematic patterns.

Molecular phylogeny reveals high diversity, geographic structure and limited ranges in neotenic net-winged beetles platerodrilus (coleoptera: lycidae). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 The neotenic Platerodrilus net-winged beetles have strongly modified development where females do not pupate and retain larval morphology when sexually mature.

Phylogeny and evolution of Müllerian mimicry in aposematic Dilophotes: evidence for advergence and size-constraints in evolution of mimetic sexual dimorphism [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2018 Multiple patterns and intraspecific polymorphism should not persist in mutualistic Müllerian systems due to purifying and frequency-dependent selection, but they are commonly identified in nature.

Structural Diversity of Adipokinetic Hormones in the Coleopteran Suborder Polyphaga (Excluding Cucujiformia). [PDF]
Arch Insect Biochem PhysiolAdipokinetic hormones of Polyphaga beetles (minus Cucujiformia series) were sequenced and confirmed via mass spectrometry. Schgr‐AKH‐II is assumed as ancestral AKH in Coleoptera. Radiation of AKH diversity during the evolution of Scarabaeoidea. ABSTRACT Beetles are the largest animal group, in general.
