Nothoderodontus Gourlayi
''Nothoderodontus'' is a genus of tooth-necked fungus beetles in the family Derodontidae Derodontidae is a family of beetles, in its own superfamily, Derodontoidea, sometimes known as the tooth-necked fungus beetles. Beetles of this family are small, between 2 and 6 mm in length, typically with spiny margins on their pronotum .... They are primarily associated with sooty molds, however specimens have been collected in other habitats, such as a new species that was discovered in flowers in New Zealand. There are six described species in ''Nothoderodontus''. Species include: *'' Nothoderodontus chilensis'' *'' Nothoderodontus darlingtoni'' *'' Nothoderodontus dentatus'' *'' Nothoderodontus gourlayi'' *'' Nothoderodontus newtonorum'' *'' Nothoderodontus watti'' References Derodontidae Polyphaga genera {{polyphaga-stub ...

Roy Crowson
Roy Albert Crowson (22 November 1914 in Hadlow, Kent – 13 May 1999) was an English biologist who specialised in the Taxonomy (biology), taxonomy of beetles. He was curator at the Tunbridge Wells Museum, and then lectured at the Zoology Department of the University of Glasgow. The beetle family ''Crowsoniella'' is named in his honour. Life Crowson was born on 22 November in Hadlow, Kent. He was educated at the The Judd School, Judd School, in Tonbridge and then at Imperial College London, Imperial College, London University where he completed his Ph.D. in 1937. Crowson served in the Royal Air Force during the war, and was the Assistant Curator of the Tunbridge Wells Museum from 1938. Crowson moved from the Tunbridge Wells Museum to the Zoology Department of the University of Glasgow from 1949, where he was appointed as a lecturer. He collected beetles and their larvae from around the world and studied the relationships between them. His 1955 monograph, ''The natural classific ...

Tooth-necked Fungus Beetle
Derodontidae is a family of beetles, in its own superfamily, Derodontoidea, sometimes known as the tooth-necked fungus beetles. Beetles of this family are small, between 2 and 6 mm in length, typically with spiny margins on their pronotum (part of the thorax) that give them their name, though the genus ''Laricobius'' lacks these spines. Unusual among beetles, they have two ocelli on the top of their heads. They are related to the Bostrichoidea, which includes the death watch beetles, skin beetles, powder-post beetles and other subgroups. Some species feed on slime molds, but the larvae and adults of the genus '' Laricobius'' are predators of woolly adelgids which attack conifers, and species of this genus are used as biological control agents in the United States for control of balsam woolly adelgid and hemlock woolly adelgid. There are 42 species in 4 genera and 3 subfamilies. The family includes: *Subfamily Derodontinae **Genus '' Derodontus'' (11 species) *S ...
