Biology:Ascioplaga
From HandWiki
Ascioplaga is a genus of beetles in the family Cupedidae, one of the six extant families within the Archostemata beetle group.[1] The genus contains two species endemic to New Caledonia and one described from northern Queensland in Australia.[2][3]
The Australian species, Ascioplaga scalena, was originally described as a species of Adinolepis, and was transferred to Ascioplaga in 2009.[4] Research on this species’ internal head anatomy, specifically mouthparts and musculature, clarified evolutionary aspects of this species and its deeper role in the Coleoptera group.[1]
