Silphinae

	Silphinae Silphinae is a subfamily of carrion beetles. There are 113 extant species of this subfamily, in two tribe and in 14 genera.

picture info	Silphidae Silphidae is a family of beetles that are known commonly as large carrion beetles, carrion beetles or burying beetles. There are two family (biology), subfamilies: Silphinae and Nicrophorinae. Members of Nicrophorinae are sometimes known as burying beetles or sexton beetles. The number of species is relatively small, at around two hundred. They are more diverse in the temperate region although a few tropical endemics are known. Both subfamilies feed on decaying organic matter such as dead animals. The subfamilies differ in which uses parenting, parental care and which types of carcasses they prefer. Silphidae are considered to be of importance to forensic entomologists because when they are found on a decaying body they are used to help estimate a post-mortem interval. Taxonomy, evolution, and etymology The family Silphidae belongs to the order beetle, Coleoptera. They are commonly referred to as carrion beetles or burying beetles and are usually associated with carrion, fungus, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]

Like other Silphinae, it has an antenna with 11 segments. About 3 or 4 abdominal segments are visible beyond the tip of the elytra. The elytra themselves have longitudinal keels. The type species is '' Diamesus osculans''. The larvae are broad and flat and somewhat cockroach-like (blattiform). References Silphidae {{Silphidae-stub ...

	Oxelytrum Cayennense ''Oxelytrum cayennense'' is a species of carrion beetles belonging to the family Silphidae. Description ''Oxelytrum cayennense'' can reach a length of about . They have three ridges on each elytron, without hairs on the pronotal disk and without a tooth or only with a small protuberance in the humeral region of the elytra. Elytra are black, with pointed apices. Head has prominent eyes and antennae with a 3-segmented antennal club. Pronotum usually shows a uniform orange-red or yellow color, but often a dark maculae, almost rounded or a little quadrangular-shaped, occupies the center of the pronotal disk.Steward B.
