Sivacrypticus is the only genus of the family Archeocrypticidae (cryptic fungus beetles) occurring in Taiwan. Archaecrypticidae is a small family of Tenebrionoidea, recent papers revealed it as sister to Ulodidae[1], to Ulodidae + Chalcodruidae + Promecheidae[2], or sister to Anthicidae + Ischaliidae + Meloiidae[3].
Occurrence in Taiwanese leaf litter fauna
Only a single species S. taiwanus Kaszab, 1964 is recorded from Taiwan. The species is locally common in lowland forests in southern and central Taiwan. The species was described from the materials collected by Hans Sauter in ‘Pilam’(= Beinan township, Taitung County, southern Taiwan) [4]and are deposited in Museum of Natural History in Budapest, Hungary. Only females were known, male genitalia were only documented based on specimens from this project[5] - they indicate that S. taiwanus is very similar to S. philippinus Merkl,1988 from Luzon (Philippies)[6].
