Genome sequencing of Rhinorhipus Lawrence exposes an early branch of the Coleoptera
Abstract Background Rhinorhipidae Lawrence, 1988 is an enigmatic beetle family represented by a single species, Rhinorhipus tamborinensis Lawrence, 1988, from Australia, with poorly established affinities near the superfamily Elateroidea (click beetles, soldier beetles and fireflies) or the more inc...
