Parandrini

Classification Introduction
  • The tribe Parandrini Blanchard, 1845 currently contains ~100 species in 13 genera. Photographs of 14 exemplar specimens are currently available for this tribe.
Diagnostic Features of Adults
  • Antennae relatively short. Labrum partly or completely fused to clypeus or frontoclypeus, without or with incomplete suture. In some species, tarsi not distinclty pseudotetramerous (tarsomere 4 only slightly reduced and 3 hardly lobed).
Diagnostic Features of Larvae
  • Not yet available for this taxon.
Geographic Distribution of Tribe Biology and Economic Importance
  • Larvae of most species develop for about one year in rotten wood. No species are known to attack living trees or firewood, so they have no adverse economic impact. Adults are relatively short lived, probably most living less than several months. Adults feed little, or not at all (summarized from Linsley, 1961; Lawrence, 2007, and other sources).
