“…The placement of Eschatoporis in the Goniaderini by Aalbu and Smith (2014), as pointed out by Kanda (2016), was an accidental error. At that time, Eschatoporis should have remained in the Laenini as pointed out Matthews et al (2010: 577). These errors, as well as the shuffling of Eschatoporis between various tribes, were recently summarized (Kanda 2016), and helped emphasize that a reevaluation of the placement of this genus was overdue.…”

The tribe Eschatoporini Blaisdell, 1906 is reinstated, based on molecular and morphological data, and the spelling corrected as Eschatoporiini. The tribe currently includes only the cave-dwelling genus Eschatoporis Blaisdell, 1906 from California, which is associated with underground aquifers. A second species of Eschatoporis is described from a cave in Napa County, California. The phylogenetic placement of Eschatoporiini within the Lagriinae is examined, and notes on the biology of Eschatoporis are provided.

“…For the tenebrionid pupae, several workers have made their contributions (St-George 1924; Daggy 1946; Ho 1960, 1969; Abdulla 1964; Spilman 1966, 1969, 1979, 1984; Watt 1974; Wei et al 1989; Ren and Ye 1990; Steiner 1995; Bouchard and Steiner 2004; Yu and Yang 2004; Cherney 2006; Gosik 2007; Dunford and Steiner 2007; Simões et al 2009; Matthews et al 2010; Purchart and Nabozhenko 2012), but a few involved the tribe Opatrini, including Ogloblin and Kolobova (1927), Wu and Gao (1978), Yu et al (1993), Yu et al (1999), Cherney (2005) and Cherney and Fedorenko (2006).…”

“…Apparently, beetles had taken advantage of the presence of humans and their food in the galleries during the Middle Kingdom. Trachyderma hispida is a common desert beetle in the region and known to have synanthropic affinities (Attia and Kamel, 1965;Panagiotakopulu, 2001;Matthews et al, 2010); they may feed on grains stored in open containers that they can access (Buckland,1981(Buckland, , 1990. They forage for wild grains and plant parts in the open but also frequent caves (including human-occupied caves) where animal nests, food and debris accumulate.…”
