A phylogeny of Xanthopygina (Insecta, Coleoptera) reveals major lineages and the origin of myrmecophily

open access: yesZoologica Scripta, 2019
AbstractXanthopygina is a group of colourful, neotropical rove beetles (Staphylinidae) comprising 28 genera and more than 350 species. While many genera are found on rotting fruits, carrion, dung and mushrooms, several taxa have evolved associations with social insects.

Myrmecophily of Horniolus fortunatus (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae)

Entomological Science, 2023
AbstractThe biology of Horniolus fortunatus (Lewis, 1896) has been fragmentarily reported, but what the larvae and adults feed on and the immature stages are still unknown. In this article, I report that this coccinellid adult and larva feed on mealybugs (Planococcus sp.) living in the nest of the ant Crematogaster matsumurai Forel, 1901.

Basal hatching by Maculinea butterfly eggs: a consequence of advanced myrmecophily?

Biological Journal of the Linnean Society, 1991
Larvae of Maculinea alcon and M. rebeli are unique among Holarctic Lycaenidae in hatching through the base of the eggshell and emerging on the opposite side of the leaf to the egg. This occurs because the exposed upper surfaces of their eggs have exceptionally thick shells. Other species of Maculinea have normal or unusually thin-shelled eggs.

Host‐Specific Myrmecophily and Myrmecophagy in the Tropical Coccinellid Diomus thoracicus in French Guiana

Biotropica, 2010
ABSTRACTA variety of arthropods, particularly insects, have developed myrmecophilous interactions with ants to gain access to resources and/or for protection. Among these myrmecophiles, only a few examples have been documented in the Coccinellidae, most of them involving species able to feed on ant‐tended Hemiptera.

Myrmecophily

2018
Certain plants show structural peculiarities such as fistulose stems, hollow nodal or internodal hypertrophies, hollow petioles, saccate leaves, enlarged stinulär organs, etc., and sometimes in addition extrafloral nectaries or food-bodies. The origin and function of these structures is still obscure. In a great many cases these hollow stems etc.
