<p>Despite being distributed worldwide
and easily collected, the biology, ecology, and taxonomy of Ptiliidae Heer,
1843, or featherwing beetles, have not been well studied. In a study from 2007
to 2009, Ptiliidae were extracted from various polypore fungi collected
throughout Costa Rica in an effort to expand biogeographic knowledge of
Ptiliidae. Fungi
and Ptiliidae were identified to genera and collection sites mapped. Beetle
genera are able to inhabit different polypore genera and were found at a
higher rate of co-occurrence than reported in previous studies. We
identified <i>Cylindrosella costariciensis </i><b>sp. n.</b>, with the
potential of two more new species to be described.</p>
