Lathropus Pictus
''Lathropus'' is a genus of beetles in the family Laemophloeidae. It has been the subject of recent taxonomic study. Thomas, M. C. 2010. A review of ''Lathropus'' Erichson (Coleoptera: Laemophloeidae) in Florida and the West Indies, excluding the Lesser Antilles. Insecta Mundi 0120: 1-21. ''Lathropus'' species are minute (<2mm) flattened beetles with short, clubbed antennae, closed mesocoxal cavities, extremely dense surface sculpture, and dorsal pubescence composed of bifurcate setae. Currently recognized valid species are: * ''Lathropus chickcharnie'' Thomas * ''Lathropus jamaicensis'' Thomas * ''Lathropus minimus'' Champion * ''Lathropus parvulus'' Grouvelle * ''Lathropus pictus'' Schwarz * ''Lathropus pubescens'' Casey * ''Lathropus rhabdophloeoides'' Thomas * ''Lathropus robustulus'' Casey * ''Lathropus sepico ...

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 ...

Laemophloeidae
Laemophloeidae, lined flat bark beetles, is a beetle family in the superfamily Cucujoidea characterized by predominantly dorso-ventrally compressed bodies, head and pronotal discs bordered by ridges or grooves, and inverted male genitalia. Size range of adults is in length. Currently, it contains 40 genera and about 450 species, and is represented on all continents except Antarctica; species richness is greatest in the tropics. Classicification Historically, Laemophloeidae was treated as a subfamily of Cucujidae, but starting in the middle of the 20th century, most of what had been treated as subfamilies of the Cucujidae were considered to be families.
