	THE ARCHOSTEMATA (COLEOPTERA) OF NORTH AMERICA: WHERE ARE THE FOSSILS? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-23)
		Five North American species represent about one-sixth of the diversity of modern Archostemata, the Coleopteran suborder considered the sister group to the rest of the modern Coleoptera.
		Fossil Archostemata and Archostematan-like beetles are known from the Early Permian onwards; however, the majority of described fossils are from Europe and Asia where extant Archostemata are rare.
		Some fossil Archostemata are also known from Australia, Africa, South America, and Antarctica, but until recently, there were few records of fossil Archostemata from North America.

	beetlelady.com » Phylogenetic Relationships of the Suborders of Coleoptera
		Archostemata is a small suborder, containing one superfamily, Cupedoidea, and only 3 families: Cupedidae, Micromalthidae, and Ommatidae (Lawrence and Britton, 1994).
		As with Archostemata and Myxophaga, it consists of just one superfamily, Caraboidea, but its 9 families contain a significantly greater diversity of species.
		The authors themselves were skeptical of their results, noting that the smaller suborders were minimally sampled and needed to be better represented in future DNA sampling.

		Archostemata is an ancient lineage of beetles with a number of primitive characters.
		They are similar in morphology to the first beetles that appear in the fossil record dating to 250 million years ago.

	Elateriformia (Coleoptera) - Characters (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-23)
		Each cavity is bordered anteriorly and often mesally by the prosternum and laterally and often posteriorly by the pleuron (Adephaga, Myxophaga and Archostemata) or pronotal hypomeron (Polyphaga) and is at least partly lined internally by a thin cuticular cowling formed by the prosternum.
		In Archostemata and Adephaga, the trochantin is a distinct sclerite, separated from both pleuron and coxa; it is exposed in Archostemata and usually concealed in Adephaga.
		Radial cells in Adephaga, Myxophaga and Archostemata are usually formed by cross-veins joining the two forks of RA, and they are usually further modified by a series of transverse or oblique folds which occur in this region of the wing.

	FAU - Developmental Biology - Research - Abstract
		Only recently I have analysed the ovary structures of five species, Cupes capitatus (Archostemata), Microsporus sp., Torridincula rhodesica, Delevea namibiensis, and Hydroscapha natans; the last four belonging to the taxon Coleoptera: Myxophaga.
		A reduction to this polytrophic ovary occurred in those lines from which todays Neuroptera, as well as the Coleoptera: Adephaga and Coleoptera: Archostemata: Micromalthidae derived.
		However, during the period in which telotrophic meroistic ovaries existed at the common base of Neuropterida and Coleoptera, the set of genes necessary to build a polytrophic ovary, must have been preserved silently for long evolutionary periods.

		Further reduction to panoistic ovaries happened among foremothers of Megaloptera: Corydalidae, as well as at the base of Coleaoptera: Archostemata: Cupedidae, and among foremothers of Coleoptera: Myxophaga: Microsporidae and, in parallel, in those of Coleoptera: Myxophaga: Torrindinculidae.

	Elateriformia (Coleoptera) - SCIRTIDAE (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-23)
		At least some members of the group have the mesoventrite and metaventrite clearly separated, a feature found only in Archostemata according to Beutel and Haas (in press).
		Scirtid larvae are unique among Coleoptera in having multiannulate antennae; although these are usually considered to be autapomorphous, the possibility exists that they represent a type of antenna found in beetle ancestors.

		The Ommatidae are members of the Archostemata, one of the four great suborders which make up the vast order of beetles (Coleoptera).
		The Archostemata are regarded as the most primitive and ancient.
		Fossil relatives of the living beetles discovered in the Mallee have been found in Jurassic rocks of Siberia, Central Asia and Britain.
