A new suspected paedomorphic genus of net-winged beetles from the Atlantic Rainforest (Coleoptera, Elateroidea, Lycidae) [PDF]

Papéis Avulsos de Zoologia, 2020
Lycidae are among the better studied groups in the superfamily Elateroidea, however despite the progress in the taxonomic understanding of the Neotropical fauna, much still remains unknown and undescribed in the region.

Conspicuousness, phylogenetic structure, and origins of Müllerian mimicry in 4000 lycid beetles from all zoogeographic regions [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2021
Biologists have reported on the chemical defences and the phenetic similarity of net-winged beetles (Coleoptera: Lycidae) and their co-mimics. Nevertheless, our knowledge has remained fragmental, and the evolution of mimetic patterns has not been studied

Unexpected High Species Diversity of Mesolycus Gorham (Coleoptera, Lycidae) from China, with a Preliminary Investigation on Its Phylogenetic Position Based on Multiple Genes

Insects, 2022
The lycid genus Mesolycus Gorham, 1883 is mainly distributed in East Palaearctic and Indochinese regions, but poorly studied in China; moreover, its phylogenetic placement remains controversial but has never been rigorously tested.

Phylogenomic and mitogenomic data can accelerate inventorying of tropical beetles during the current biodiversity crisis

eLife, 2021
Conservation efforts must be evidence-based, so rapid and economically feasible methods should be used to quantify diversity and distribution patterns.

A morphometric approach to the comparative morphology of aedeagi shapes in net-winged beetles: A case study on the Macrolycus dotatus species group (Coleoptera: Lycidae) [PDF]

Arthropod Systematics & Phylogeny, 2023
Insect male genitalia show an evolutionarily variable morphology that is valuable for both species identification and phylogenetic analyses. However, we often encounter some difficulties when conducting relevant studies due to only quantitative ...

European net-winged beetles of the Pyropterus clade, with the description of Gomezzuritus gen. nov. (Coleoptera: Lycidae)

European Journal of Taxonomy, 2023
We simultaneously considered morphology and molecular phylogeny to modify the generic classification of the ‘pyropterine clade’ (Lycidae, Erotinae, Dictyopterini).
