Cupes is a genus of beetles in the family Cupedidae. The Cupedidae are typical “reticulate” or “net-winged” beetles with incompletely sclerotized elytra that produce the characteristic reticulate appearance.[1]
Cupes contains a single living species Cupes capitatus[2] and a number of extinct species described from fossils dating from the Pliocene to the Paleocene.[3] C. capitatus is native to eastern North America, while the fossils are described from China and Europe. C. capitatus adults are 7.8 mm (0.31 in) long on average with red to gray-brown body color and a bright orange head that is molded into several knobby protuberances.[4]
