Hister is a genus of beetles of the family Histeridae.
Histeridae is a family of beetles, with fifty genera occurring in Britain.
The members have a hard body, geniculate antennae with a thick, button-like club, the elytra leaves the last two abdominal tergites exposed, they are able to retract their head underneath the pronotum, and both the larvae and the adults hunt the larvae of other insects in decaying plant and animal matter.

 Histeridae
Both of these studies concluded that Niponius, a cylindrical bark beetle predator from SE Asia, is the most basal extant histerid, and that the shape and habits of this beetle represent the plesiomorphic condition for the family.
This concurs with a previous opinion expressed by Roy Crowson (1955), and seems consistent with the accepted hypothesis that the ecomorphologically similar Synteliidae is the sister group of the Histeridae.

In 1924 he was enrolled on the staff of the Zoological Museum, but for lack of vacancies in the area of his specialization he got the position of a technician at the Hymenoptera Department where for three years he performed purely technical work on collections of that department.
The system of the family Histeridae was basically restructured, and the number of species known from the territory covered by the fauna increased from 210 to 285.
Numerous amendments in Histeridae collection manuscript had to be made; a large portion of it had to be restructured.

 Clown beetle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The clown beetles or more traditionally hister beetles are a family (Histeridae) of beetles of distinctive appearance; their flattened leg segments recall the baggy or flowing clothes of clowns or actors ("hister" is from the Latin histrio, actor).
The 3,900 species of the family are found worldwide, usually living in dung, carrion, or animal burrows, where they feed on the larvae and eggs of soft-bodied insects, especially those of flies.

One such group are the hister beetles (family Histeridae) whose larvae and adults feed primarily on maggots developing in the remains (Crowson, 1981).
The family Histeridae is a distinctive group of shinny, hard-bodied, small to medium sized beetles (Figure 1).
Belonging to the predator and parasite group, Histeridae is one of several beetle families that prey on the necrophagous and omnivorous insects that are attracted to decomposing animals.

Impact of alternating manure removal schedules on pest flies (Diptera: Muscidae) and associated predators (Coleoptera: Histeridae, Staphylinidae; Acarina: Macrochelidae) in caged-layer poultry manure in southern California.
Pest fly larvae and adults (Musca, Fannia spp.) and key predator arthropods (Macrocheles mites, Carcinops adults and Histeridae larvae, Staphylinidae larvae) were monitored for 2 yr on 3 southern California caged-layer poultry facilities.
In each manure cleanout cycle, all manure rows were removed initially in normal removal houses (Normal), while half of the manure was left undisturbed in alternate removal houses (Alternate).

 Systematics of the Mesynodites sensu lato genus complex
The Histeridae is a diverse family of approximately 4,000 mainly predatory beetle species that occupy a wide variety of ecological niches.
Histerids are small to medium-sized beetles (0.7-25 mm) and occur in many habitats, from dense forests to deserts and dunes, where most are predators of beetle, fly and flea larvae.
Numerous and diverse morphological and behavioral adaptations have evolved within the Histeridae, especially among ant and termite guests (Reichensperger, 1926; Akre, 1968).

Additionally, the distributions of Dermaptera (earwigs), Formicidae (ants), Histeridae (clown beetles), and Silphidae (carrion beetles) were discontinuous.
Dermaptera were highly abundant at the urban sites, but entirely absent from the rural sites while Histeridae and Silphidae were only found at rural localities.
These distributional differences suggest that further research into potential differences in abiotic and biotic environmental conditions among the study sites is warranted, as they may vary due to the degree of human influence along the gradient.

 Saprininae
Saprininae is one of the two ‘big’ subfamilies of Histeridae (along with Histerinae).
However, while the two are similar in numbers of species as well as ecological diversity, Saprininae exhibit very little morphological diversity by comparison.
As is likely true throughout the Histeridae, the larger genera (Saprinus, Hypocaccus, Euspilotus) will likely be found to be paraphyletic with respect to many of the smaller.
