Distribution. The Meloidae, commonly known as blister beetles, are virtually cosmopolitan,
absent only from New Zealand, Antarctica and most Polynesian islands (see Table 1). There …

Abstract Changes in life history traits are often considered speciation triggers and can have
dramatic effects on the evolutionary history of a lineage. Here, we examine the …

Ripiphoridae phylogeny inferred from rRNA and mtDNA markers and 23 taxa from four
subfamilies is presented. Despite much denser sampling than previous studies and …

The ability to disperse is vital for all organisms, but especially for those whose habitats
deteriorate, necessitating relocation to better feeding or breeding sites. Phoresy is assisted …

Untangling the relationship between morphological evolution and lineage diversification is
key to explain global patterns of phenotypic disparity across the Tree of Life. Few studies …

Extremely miniaturized longipedes insects (body length c. 0.3 mm) embedded in two pieces
of Cretaceous amber from Myanmar are described and interpreted. Using inverted …

The information on the diversified radiation in both morphology and biology, which occurred
in the beetle family Meloidae (Coleoptera, Tenebrionoidea) at the pre-imaginal stage, is …

Meloetyphlus Waterhouse is a monotypic genus of Meloidae ascribed to the tribe
Tetraonycini, subfamily Meloinae. As for most blister beetles, its first-instar larvae (or …

The nominate subgenus of the mylabrine genus Mylabris is revised: five new species, M.(M.)
