Drilini is a tribe of beetles known commonly as the false firefly beetles, in the family Elateridae.[1]

Systematics

In 2011, this lineage, formerly treated as a family, was transferred to the family Elateridae as the tribe Drilini.[2] Two former genera, Pseudeuanoma and Euanoma, were moved to the Omalisidae.[3]

A 2019 study presented the first densely sampled molecular phylogeny of Drilini based on nuclear and mitochondrial markers, recovering 5 major clades well supported by morphology along with several new genera and species.[4]

gollark: ... "animals"?

gollark: ```Greetings, esolangs server members. I am gollark, otherwise known as osmarks, a human. As someone who is totally a human, I exist, and do human things such as (not limited to):- consuming food- consuming water- sleeping- not sleeping- sitting in chairs- motionI enjoy things such as esoteric language creation (intermittently), authorship of highly accursed code in a wide range of programming languages, computational gaming, reading scifi/fantasy, and sometimes (when I am not horribly distracted) reading about maths things.```

gollark: Yes, it seems a reasonable idea.

gollark: Oh no. I need to retroactively erase all evidence.

gollark: * secretive
