The subtribe Corotocina Fenyes comprises 19 genera and 69 species with a pantropical distribution, all of which are obligate termitophiles, primarily associated with termites of the subfamily Nasutitermitinae. The remarkable physogastry and occasional physothoraxy observed in these species, resulting from a puzzling phenomenon of post-imaginal growth, make this group arguably the most spe…
The subtribe Termitogastrina Bernhauer & Scheerpeltz, 1926 is represented by 19 genera and 82 species, all obligate termitophiles, i.e., they live in obligatory symbiosis with termites. A phylogenetic analysis of the subtribe conducted 37 years ago established the current topology of the subtribe within the Corotocini tribe. In this analysis, the authors incorporated biogeographical and c…
Caciomorpha is a genre from the tribe Anisocerini (Coleoptera, Cerambycidae, Lamiinae), with seven described species, distributed in Central and South America. The studies for the group are poor and outdated, in fact the last taxonomic study was done by Galileo & Martins (1998), where they studied and complemented the available information, of the group, at that time. Regarding phylogenet…
The Disteniidae family comprises 392 described species in the world, included in four tribes and 37 genera. Despite the efforts of many researchers in recent years to describe and unravel the diversity of the group, there are not phylogenetic works for this group. Most of the current authors consider that tribe Disteniini, the largest group in the family with 376 species and 32 genera, is…
Cerambycidae Latreille, 1802 is one of the most diverse families of beetles (Insecta, Coleoptera). The group is represented by eight subfamilies and among these, the subfamily Lamiinae Latreille, 1825 with about 20,000 described species is the most diverse. Some groups as tribes are not well-defined and lack a cladistic study as is the case of Aerenicini Lacordaire, 1872. The tribe is com…

Chauliognathini sensu Miskimen is a tribe of Chauliognathinae composed by long-elytra species, while the other tribe, Ichthyurini, is composed by short-elytra species. There are around 550 species in Chauliognathini distributed in 5 genera weakly supported or even without any morphological support. This research project was planned on the doctorate project and this stage is essential for …
