You know what really bugs me? Not having a stable framework for understanding the evolutionary history of Cucujiformia... ...Oh, hello there, Li et al.! #phylogenetics #evolution #Coleoptera #entomology #BugSky onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...
Comprehensive phylogenomic analyses illustrate phylogenetic relationships within the Cucujiformia.

No todo escarabajo rojizo con puntos negros que veamos sobre una flor es una mariquita. El pescuezo y la constitución elongada general de este personaje lo delatan. Aunque comparte infraorden con ellas —/Cucujiformia/—, hasta ahí llegan los parecidos. Probablemente pertenezca a la tribu /Mylabrini/.

Many things to name
1rst case : a goblin looking at a bug, saying "mmmh" 2nd case : the goblin writing something and saying "coloptera cucujiformia" 3rd : goblin hanging upside down in a tree, looking at a sleepy owl, saying "nocturnis hoothootis" 4rth : goblin in the water looking at a fancy water bird, saying "robert." 1rst case : goblin looking at a shouting possum, asying "marsupialis anxietas" 2nd : goblin looking at another sleepy goblin, saying "goglinis idiotis" 3rd: the sleepy goblin throw rocks at the other goblin who's falling. The falling goblin says "ouch. silica mineralis" 4rth : the goblin is laying down saying "sigh. so many things to name and so little time"

this is one of those families where there are so few species you can absorb the world's knowledge about them in a day or two. As a fresh baby postdoc I was asked to write a book chapter about them, which is a hilarious way to prank a leiodid taxonomist: www.degruyter.com/document/doi...
11.15. Prostomidae G. G.Thomson, 1859
11.15. Prostomidae G. G.Thomson, 1859 was published in Volume 2 Morphology and Systematics (Elateroidea, Bostrichiformia, Cucujiformia partim) on page 659.

The tiger beetle is one of 101 beetle observations in our iNaturalist project, the Humber Arboretum Atlas:

The sightings could represent up to 43 different species, but many of the IDs remain unconfirmed, like this one: inaturalist.ca/observations...
