  Minute bog beetle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The minute bog beetles are a family (Sphaeriusidae) of beetle typically found along the edges of streams and rivers, where it feeds on algae.
The family was previously known as Sphaeriidae, but the name was preoccupied by a family of freshwater clams.
The name was inappropriately replaced with Microsporidae (by changing the genus name to Microsporus) but this act has very recently been superseded by a return to the use of Sphaerius and a re-formation of the family name as Sphaeriusidae.

 Coleopterists Society
I would like to thank Al Newton and Margaret Thayer (Field Museum of Natural History) for editorial reviews.
NOTE: Due to a recent ruling (ICZN 2000), the family and generic names Sphaeriusidae Erichson, 1845, and Sphaerius Waltl, 1838, are both available names and have priority over Microsporidae Crotch, 1873 for the family name and Microsporus Kolenati, 1846 for the single included genus, respectively."
Sphaerius Waltl, 1838 (Insects, Coleoptera): conserved; and Sphaeriidae Erichson, 1845 (Coleoptera): spelling emended to Sphaeriusidae, so removing the homonymy with Sphaeriidae Deshayes, 1854 (1820) (Mollusca, Bivalvia).
