Limnichidae

Limnichidae, commonly called minute marsh-loving beetles, is a family of beetles belonging to Byrrhoidea. There are at least 30 genera and 350 described species in Limnichidae. They are found worldwide, with the greatest diversity in tropical regions. Most species seem to be associated with water-adjacent habitats, such as riparian and coastal locations, though many species are likely fully terrestrial, with some species being associated with leaf litter and arboreal habitats. Species with known diets feed on moss or algae. The oldest fossils of the family are known from mid-Cretaceous Burmese

Caccothryptus is a genus of minute marsh-loving beetles in the subfamily Limnichinae. The genus was formally established (circumscribed) by the entomologist David Sharp in 1902, with C. compactus as the type species. In 2014, the entomologists Carles Hernando and Ignacio Ribera published a major revision of the genus, reorganizing it from seven species into twenty species in five species groups, classified mainly by similarities in genital shape. Discoveries in the following years have brought the total number of species up to thirty-four. Due to the relative lack of studies and material on As
