Cupes Manifestus

	Cupes Manifestus ''Cupes manifestus'' is an extinct species of reticulated beetle in the family Cupedidae and the genus ''Cupes''. It is known from Selandian crater lake diatomite in the Menat Formation The Menat Formation is a geologic formation in France. It preserves fossils dating back to the Paleocene. It is a maar deposit located on top of an ancient volcano, the extent is very localised with the outcropping area being around 600 by 1000 ... of France. References Cupedidae {{cupedidae-stub ...

	Cupedidae The Cupedidae are a small family of beetles, notable for the square pattern of "windows" on their elytra (hard forewings), which give the family their common name of reticulated beetles. The family consists of about 30 species in 9 genera, with a worldwide distribution. Many more extinct species are known, dating as far back as the Triassic. The family Ommatidae is considered a subfamily of Cupedidae by some authors, but ommatids have been found to more closely related to Micromalthidae in genomic analysis studies. These beetles tend to be elongated with a parallel-sided body, ranging in length from , with colors brownish, blackish, or gray. The larvae are wood-borers, typically living in fungus-infested wood, and sometimes found in wood construction. The larvae eat the fungus-infested dead wood or tree roots while the adults are believed to subsist on pollen and plant sap. Males of ''Priacma serrata'' (western North America) are notable for being strongly attracted to common ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
	Cupes ''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 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.

	Menat Formation The Menat Formation is a geologic formation in France. It preserves fossils dating back to the Paleocene. It is a maar deposit located on top of an ancient volcano, the extent is very localised with the outcropping area being around 600 by 1000 metres. Numerous species of fossil insects, plants and fish are known, as well as some isolated mammals, including the primate '' Plesiadapis insignis'', the choristodere reptile '' Lazarussuchus'', and birds, including members of Halcyornithidae and Messelasturidae and relatives of Songziidae.
