Scirtidae
Scirtidae is a family of beetles (Coleoptera). These beetles are commonly referred to as marsh beetles, as the larvae are typically associated with stagnant water, but can be found in flowing water. Adults prefer decomposing plant material near the water's edge. More than an estimated 600 species are known worldwide, distributed among at least 60 genera. Genera These 81 genera belong to the family Scirtidae: * '' Accolabass'' Watts, 2009 * '' Alpestriscyphon'' Watts, Cooper & Libonatti, 2020 * '' Amplectopus'' Sharp, 1886 * '' Anocyphon'' Watts, Cooper & Libonatti, 2020 * '' Anthocara'' Watts, Cooper & Libonatti, 2020 * '' Anticyphon'' Ruta, 2016 * '' Atopida'' White, 1846 * '' Austrocyphon'' Zwick, 2013 * '' Brachelodes'' Yablokov-Khnzorian, 1961 * '' Brachycyphon'' Fairmaire, 1896 * '' Byrrhopsis'' Champion, 1913 * '' Calvariopsis'' Ruta, 2019 * '' Calvarium'' Pic, 1918 * '' Chameloscyphon'' Watts, 2011 * '' Chilarboreus'' Ruta, 2011 * '' Contacyphon'' Des Gozis, 1886 * '' C ...

Lawrence in 2001, who described a new species of marsh beetle native to inland Chile.

Calvarium (beetle)
The calvaria is the top part of the skull. It is the superior part of the neurocranium and covers the cranial cavity containing the brain. It forms the main component of the skull roof. The calvaria is made up of the superior portions of the frontal bone, occipital bone, and parietal bones. In the human skull, the sutures between the bones normally remain flexible during the first few years of postnatal development, and fontanelles are palpable. Premature complete ossification of these sutures is called craniosynostosis. In Latin, the word ''calvaria'' is used as a feminine noun with plural ''calvariae''; however, many medical texts incorrectly list the word as ''calvarium'', a neuter Latin noun with plural ''calvaria''. Structure The outer surface of the skull possesses a number of landmarks. The point at which the frontal bone and the two parietal bones meet is known as the bregma. The point at which the two parietal bones and the occipital bone meet is known as the lamb ...
