Langurites lineatus

Classification

Class
Insecta

Langurites is a small American genus in the pleasing fungus beetle family (Erotylidae). They belong to the lizard beetle tribe Languriini of subfamily Languriinae; formerly, their subfamily was considered a distinct family, and their tribe upranked to subfamily status, whereas some recent authors prefer to merge Languriinae into subfamily Erotylinae. This genus is mostly found in Central America; it barely reaches northern Colombia and the southern USA (Arizona and Florida).
