Biphyllidae
Biphyllidae, or false skin beetles, are a family of beetles, in the superfamily Cleroidea. They have a cosmopolitan distribution (excluding New Zealand). About 195 species are known. They live under the bark of dead trees and in leaf litter, and are mycophagous, feeding on fungi. Taxonomy The family contains the following genera: * '' Althaesia'' Pascoe, 1860 * '' Anchorius'' Casey, 1900 * '' Anobocaelus'' Sharp, 1902 * '' Biphyllus'' Dejean, 1821 * '' Diplocoelus'' Guérin-Méneville, 1836 * '' Euderopus'' Sharp, 1900 * '' Gonicoelus'' Sharp, 1900 * †'' Paleobiphyllus'' Makarov and Perkovsky 2019 Taimyr amber, Russia, Late Cretaceous (Santonian The Santonian is an age in the geologic timescale or a chronostratigraphic stage.

The species' presence is used as an indicator for evaluating the ecological continuity of woodlands. The humeral mark on the back of adults is a distinguishing feature. Description Dark brown to black, each elytron with a transverse, angled patch of pale pubescens near the middle and often a sub-apical patch. Pubescence more evenly recumbent throughout. Antennal club 2-segmented. Some specimens have small patches of pale pubescence to the pronotum and a pale humeral mark. Adults are typically 3.0-3.3mm long.

Cleroidea
Cleroidea is a small Taxonomic rank, superfamily of beetles containing over 10,000 species. Most of the members of the group are somewhat slender, often with fairly soft, flexible elytra, and typically hairy or scaly. Description Cleroidea is defined by the following features: adult and larva with Mandible, mandibular mola absent, larva with basal mandibular process (lacinia mobilis) present), and mala with a pedunculate seta present. Some cleroids, especially in Cleridae and the melyrid subfamily Malachiinae, have bright Aposematism, aposematic colouration to deter predators. They mimic the appearances of other arthropods that are unpalatable to predators, such as various beetles (blister beetles, leaf beetles, Lycidae, net-winged beetles), stinging Hymenoptera (ants and Mutillidae, velvet ants), Zygaenidae, zygaenid moths and Tachinidae, tachinid flies. There is variation in the degree of sclerotisation within Cleroidea. Some are hard-bodied beetles with fully sclerotised E ...

Beetle
Beetles are insects that form the Taxonomic rank, order Coleoptera (), in the superorder Holometabola. Their front pair of wings are hardened into wing-cases, elytra, distinguishing them from most other insects. The Coleoptera, with about 400,000 described species, is the largest of all orders, constituting almost 40% of described arthropods and 25% of all known animal species; new species are discovered frequently, with estimates suggesting that there are between 0.9 and 2.1 million total species. However, the number of beetle species is challenged by the number of species in Fly, dipterans (flies) and hymenopterans (wasps). Found in almost every habitat except the sea and the polar regions, they interact with their ecosystems in several ways: beetles often feed on plants and fungi, break down animal and plant debris, and eat other invertebrates. Some species are serious agricultural pests, such as the Colorado potato beetle, while others such as Coccinellidae (ladybirds or ...

CRC Press
The CRC Press, LLC is an American publishing group that specializes in producing technical books. Many of their books relate to engineering, science and mathematics. Their scope also includes books on business, forensics and information technology. CRC Press is now a division of Taylor & Francis, itself a subsidiary of Informa. History The CRC Press was founded as the Chemical Rubber Company (CRC) in 1903 by brothers Arthur, Leo and Emanuel Friedman in Cleveland, Ohio, based on an earlier enterprise by Arthur, who had begun selling rubber laboratory aprons in 1900. The company gradually expanded to include sales of laboratory equipment to chemist A chemist (from Greek ''chēm(ía)'' alchemy; replacing ''chymist'' from Medieval Latin ''alchemist'') is a graduated scientist trained in the study of chemistry, or an officially enrolled student in the field.
