''Cupes'' is a genus of beetles in the family Cupedidae. The Cupedidae are typical “reticulate” or “net-winged” beetles with incompletely sclerotized elytra that produce the characteristic reticulate appearance. ''Cupes'' contains a single Extant taxon, living species ''Cupes capitatus'' and a number of extinct species described from fossils dating from the Pliocene to the Paleocene. ''C. capitatus'' is native to eastern North America, while the fossils are described from China and Europe. ''C. capitatus'' adults are long on average with red to gray-brown body color and a bright orange head that is molded into several knobby protuberances.Hörnschemeyer, T. 2010''Cupes capitatus'' Fabricius 1801.Version 17 December 2010.

Thanetian
The Thanetian is, in the International Commission on Stratigraphy, ICS Geologic timescale, the latest age (geology), age or uppermost stage (stratigraphy), stratigraphic stage of the Paleocene epoch (geology), Epoch or series (stratigraphy), Series. It spans the time between . The Thanetian is preceded by the Selandian Age and followed by the Ypresian Age (part of the Eocene). The Thanetian is sometimes referred to as the Late Paleocene. Stratigraphic definition The Thanetian was established by Switzerland, Swiss geologist Eugène Renevier in 1873. The Thanetian is named after the Thanet Formation, the oldest Cenozoic deposit of the London Basin, which was first identified in the area of Kent (southern England) known as the Isle of Thanet. The base of the Thanetian Stage is laid at the base of magnetic chronozone C26n. The references profile (Global Boundary Stratotype Section and Point) is in the Zumaia section (43° 18'N, 2° 16'W) at the beach of Itzurun, Pais Vasco, northern ...
