Discover the intriguing world of Erotylinae with 'Fauna of NZ 59 Erotylinae', a detailed exploration authored by Paul Skelly and published by Manaaki Whenua Press. This 60-page paperback delves into the fascinating biodiversity of New Zealand’s fungus beetles, commonly known for their vivid colors, although the local species lack such flamboyance. Despite New Zealand hosting only eight known Erotyline species, this study sheds light on their unique ecological roles and adaptations. The book explores two genera, highlighting an endemic genus, and offers a comprehensive revision of the Erotylinae fauna in the region.
Updating taxonomy and providing a detailed key to adults, it complements Rich Leschen’s extensive review of the Erotylidae family, facilitating a deeper understanding of these fungal feeders. Richly illustrated with essential characters for all species, this publication serves not just as a reference for entomologists but also for enthusiasts of New Zealand’s unique natural history. Whether you're a researcher, student, or simply passionate about biodiversity, 'Fauna of NZ 59 Erotylinae' is a must-have addition to your collection, offering insights into one of the island nation’s lesser-known wildlife groups. Enhance your knowledge about New Zealand’s rare beetle species and contribute to conservation efforts with this authoritative guide.

Erotylinae are also known commonly as the â€pleasing fungus beetles’ for their often striking colours, though these do not occur in New Zealand species. The 8 New Zealand erotyline species comprise a relatively small group, considering that nearby Australia has 50 species.
Erotylinae are represented in New Zealand by two genera, one of which is endemic. Various authors have described erotyline species, or created lists for them, but none has attempted to evaluate these taxa and update their taxonomy.
In Fauna of New Zealand 47, Rich Leschen restructured the family Erotylidae to include the family Languriidae, and examined the status of the higher taxa based on a cladistic analysis of adult characters. He also reviewed the New Zealand species that would have been included in the former family Languriidae. The purpose of this paper is to complement Leschen’s review of New Zealand’s Erotylidae by covering the species of subfamily Erotylinae.
In this Fauna, the fungus-feeding Erotylinae fauna of New Zealand are revised and a key to the adults and illustrations of key characters for all species are presented.
