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

Phylogeny and Systematics of Wood-Degrading Neotropical Bess Beetles (Coleoptera: Passalidae: Passalinae) [PDF]
, 2020 Passalidae (Coleoptera: Scarabaeoidea) are saproxylophagous beetles that live and feed inside decaying wood. Passalid diversity and biogeography are relatively well-established at the tribal-level, particularly in the New World. However, a robust phylogenetic framework to test the current taxonomic status of the generic groups in the family is lacking.
