Omethidae is a family of Elateroidea sometimes known as the false soldier beetles.[1] They are native to South, Southeast and Eastern Asia and the Americas.[2][3] Their biology is obscure and their larvae are unknown. They appear to inhabit vegetation in or surrounding forests, and are probably active during the day.[3]
Classification and taxonomy
[edit]There are some 40 species in 11 genera, divided into four subfamilies. Long-lipped beetles (Telegeusinae) were formerly treated as a family Telegeusidae but are most recently treated as a subfamily within Omethidae.[4][5] According to other recent studies, Phengodidae might possibly include (or be sister taxon to) the telegeusines.[6]
