“…Some larvae are phoretic and some are hypermetamorphic, and parasitize other insects in all known cases. The immature stages of Pelecotominae are associated with the larvae of wood-boring beetles such as Anobiidae and Cerambycidae (Hudson 1934;Watt 1983;Kuschel 1990;Švácha 1994;Falin 2002;Batelka 2005Batelka , 2009Lawrence et al 2010). It is likely that the Jurassic Archaeoripiphorus gen. nov. had a similar parasitism of xylophagous beetles and oviposition behavior on woods infested with wood-boring beetles (Fig.…”

“…The subfamilial classification of Falin (2003) was also followed by Batelka (2012) although Falin's study remains unpublished. Ripiphoridae includes more than 400 species in 38 genera and 5 subfamilies widely distributed worldwide (Lawrence et al 2010). Lacordaire (1859) placed the family Ripiphoridae next to Mordellidae, and such a relationship was also discussed and suggested by Selander (1957), Franciscolo (1962), Crowson (1995) and Falin (2002).…”

“…Lawrence et al (2010) followed Falin (2003), treating Micholaeminae as part of Pelecotominae and transferring some genera of Pelecotominae to Ptilophorinae. The subfamilial classification of Falin (2003) was also followed by Batelka (2012) although Falin's study remains unpublished.…”

A new species of Ripiphoridae Gemminger & Harold, 1870, Archaeoripiphorus nuwa gen. et sp. nov., is described and illustrated from a well-preserved impression fossil from the Middle Jurassic Jiulongshan Formation collected at Daohugou Village, Shantou Township, Ningcheng County, Inner Mongolia, China, representing the oldest documented occurrence of the Ripiphoridae described from the Mesozoic era. It shares several characters belonging to two basal ripiphorid subfamilies (Pelecotominae and Ptilophorinae), but it cannot be attributed to either of them and is herein placed as Subfamily incertae sedis. An overall similarity between Archaeoripiphorus gen. nov. and Recent Pelecotominae and the occurrence of wood-boring beetles in the same Formation implies a similar parasitoid host preference in xylophagous beetles for A. nuwa gen. et sp. nov., putting a spotlight on a potential host-parasitoid relationship in the Mesozoic.

The precopulatory behaviour of the larviform females of Ripidius quadriceps Abeille de Perrin, 1872 is described. The calling posture of virgin females is documented. The cephalic morphology and microstructures are visualised using scanning electron microscopy, in particular the secretory pores in the cuticle of inflatable maxillary palps. An exhaustive overview of relevant publications revealed that the location of secretory pores on the head of females is unique within the order Coleoptera. Compared to other beetles with sedentary calling females, the calling phase of the short‐lived and non‐feeding female of Ripidius is exceptionally short. For bioassays, various traps using virgin females of Ripidius were tested. It is likely that the sedentary behaviour of the short‐lived female combined with a unique morphology and priority for investing in reproduction is compensated for by the actively flying males with remarkably flabellate antennae. The life cycle of this species, including some of the exceptions recorded at the individual level, is discussed. Perspectives for a biological and morphological survey of this rarely collected western Palaearctic species are outlined. In addition, the calling behaviour, secretory sites and location of pheromone glands in females of Coleoptera producing long range pheromones is reviewed.
