Trogossitidae
Trogossitidae, also known as bark-gnawing beetles, are a small family in the superfamily Cleroidea. Many taxa formerly within this family have been removed (as of 2019) to other families, such as Lophocateridae, Peltidae, Protopeltidae, Rentoniidae, and Thymalidae.Gimmel, M.L., Bocakova, M., Gunter, N.L. and Leschen, R.A. (2019) Comprehensive phylogeny of the Cleroidea (Coleoptera: Cucujiformia). Syst Entomol, 44: 527-558. Members of the family are generally predatory and/or feed on fungi, both in adult and larval stages, and are generally associated with wood, being found under bark or inside bored tunnel galleries. There are about 400 species in 25 genera in the family under the new, restricted circumscription, as opposed to 600 species in over 50 genera in the old definition. The oldest fossil assignable to the modern, more restricted definition of the family is ''Microtrogossita'' from the mid-Cretaceous Burmese amber of Myanmar, which has close affinities to the Trogossitini, ...

Cleroidea
Cleroidea is a small Taxonomic rank, superfamily of beetles containing over 10,000 species. Most of the members of the group are somewhat slender, often with fairly soft, flexible elytra, and typically hairy or scaly. Description Cleroidea is defined by the following features: adult and larva with Mandible, mandibular mola absent, larva with basal mandibular process (lacinia mobilis) present), and mala with a pedunculate seta present. Some cleroids, especially in Cleridae and the melyrid subfamily Malachiinae, have bright Aposematism, aposematic colouration to deter predators. They mimic the appearances of other arthropods that are unpalatable to predators, such as various beetles (blister beetles, leaf beetles, Lycidae, net-winged beetles), stinging Hymenoptera (ants and Mutillidae, velvet ants), Zygaenidae, zygaenid moths and Tachinidae, tachinid flies. There is variation in the degree of sclerotisation within Cleroidea. Some are hard-bodied beetles with fully sclerotised E ...

Peltidae
''Peltis'' is a genus of beetles found in North America and Europe, and the sole extant member of the family Peltidae, formerly included in the Trogossitidae.Gimmel, M.L., Bocakova, M., Gunter, N.L. and Leschen, R.A. (2019) Comprehensive phylogeny of the Cleroidea (Coleoptera: Cucujiformia). Syst Entomol, 44: 527-558. Members of this genus are dark, averaging from brown, to dark brown, to black. They are small, wide, and flat-bodied with wide, ridged elytra. Fossil species of this genus are known from the Eocene aged Florissant Formation of the United States, as well as the Baltic amber Baltic amber or succinite is amber from the Baltic region, home of its largest known deposits. It was produced sometime during the Eocene epoch, but exactly when is controversial. It has been estimated that this forested region provided the re ... of Europe. ''Peltis'' larvae feed on fungal hypae growing inside rotting wood. Larvae grow for two to three years before becoming adults. Oth ...

Many taxa formerly within this family have been removed (as of 2019) to other families, such as Lophocateridae, Peltidae, Protopeltidae, Rentoniid .... It is the only member of the subfamily Calityinae. The genus was first described by Thomson in 1859. The genus contains two unambiguous species ''Calitys scabra'' (Thunberg, 1784), which is native to Europe and North America, and ''Calitys minor'' (Hatch, 1962), which is native to North America. Some species have been reported from South Africa, but these are disputed. The two unambiguous species live on and under the bark of coniferous trees, where they feed on fungi.
