Beetles are a group of ___MASK86___ that form the order Coleoptera . The word " coleoptera " is from the Greek , " koleós ", meaning " sheath "; and , " pterón ", meaning " wing ", thus " sheathed wing ", because most beetles have two pairs of wings , the front pair , the " elytra ", being hardened and thickened into a shell - like protection for the rear pair and the beetle ' s abdomen . The order contains more species than any other order , constituting almost 25 % of all known animal life - forms . About 40 % of all described insect species are beetles ( about 400 , 000 species ), and new species are discovered frequently . The largest taxonomic family , the Curculionidae ( the weevils or snout beetles ), also belongs to this order . The Rhagophthalmidae are a family of beetles within the larger ___MASK51___ group that include click - beetles . Members of this beetle family have bioluminescent organs on the larvae and are closely related to the ___MASK63___ ( glowworm beetles ) and Lampyridae ( fireflies ), and were often included in one of these families as a subfamily  Rhagophthalminae . Towards the end of the 20th century , they were increasingly seen as a distinct family . But they might be the only reasonably close living relatives of the mysterious fireflies of genus " Pterotus ", and could eventually end up in a Lampyridae subfamily with these . They were mainly included in the ___MASK63___ for having similar adaptation for displaying glowing lights . However , this seems to be due to convergent evolution . If they indeed belong in the Lampyridae , they are related to a group of families that have either a distinct type of flashing lights ( Luciolinae ) or rely exclusively or nearly so on pheromones for communication ( the others ). Tasmania ( abbreviated as Tas and known colloquially as " Tassie ") is an island state of the Commonwealth of Australia .

The state has a population of around 518 , 500 , just over forty percent of which resides in the Greater Hobart precinct , which forms the metropolitan ___MASK28___ of the state capital and largest city , Hobart . Bioluminescence is the production and emission of light by a living organism . It is a form of chemiluminescence . Bioluminescence occurs widely in marine vertebrates and invertebrates , as well as in some ___MASK23___ , microorganisms including some bioluminescent bacteria and terrestrial invertebrates such as fireflies . In some animals , the light is produced by symbiotic organisms such as " ___MASK82___ " bacteria . New Zealand is an island nation in the southwestern Pacific Ocean . The country geographically comprises two main landmasses  that of the North Island , or Te Ika - a - Mui , and the South Island , or Te Waipounamu  and numerous smaller islands .

Because of its remoteness , it was one of the last lands to be settled by humans . During its long period of isolation , New Zealand developed a distinct biodiversity of animal , fungal and plant life . The country ' s varied topography and its sharp mountain peaks , such as the Southern Alps , owe much to the tectonic uplift of land and volcanic eruptions . New Zealand ' s capital city is Wellington , while its most populous city is Auckland . The North Island or Te Ika - a - Mui (" Mori ") is one of the two main islands of New Zealand , separated from the slightly larger but much less populous South Island by Cook Strait .

Animals with indirect development such as ___MASK86___ , amphibians , or cnidarians typically have a larval phase of their life cycle . The beetle family ___MASK63___ is known also as glowworm beetles , whose larvae are known as glowworms . The females and larvae have bioluminescent organs . They occur throughout the New World from extreme southern Canada to Chile . The family Rhagophthalmidae , an Old World group , used to be included in the ___MASK63___ . Australia , officially the Commonwealth of Australia , is a country comprising the mainland of the Australian continent , the island of Tasmania and numerous smaller islands .

Australia ' s capital is Canberra , and its largest urban ___MASK28___ is Sydney . The ___MASK44___ are a family of small flies , forming the bulk of those species known as fungus gnats . About 3000 described species are placed in 150 genera , but the true number of species is undoubtedly much higher . They are generally found in the damp habitats favoured by their host fungi and sometimes form dense swarms . Auckland is a city in the North Island of New Zealand . It is the most populous urban ___MASK28___ in the country . Auckland has a population of , which constitutes percent of New Zealand ' s population . It is part of the wider Auckland Region  the ___MASK28___ governed by the Auckland Council  which also includes outlying rural ___MASK39___ and the islands of the Hauraki Gulf , resulting in a total population of . Auckland also has the largest Polynesian population of any city in the world . The Mori language name for Auckland is or , meaning " Tmaki with a hundred lovers ", in reference to the desirability of its fertile land at the hub of waterways in all directions . It has also been called karana , the Mori enunciation of " Auckland ".

The ___MASK70___ are a family of flies , commonly known as dark - winged fungus gnats . Commonly found in moist environments , they are known to be a pest of mushroom farms and are commonly found in household ___MASK8___ pots . This is one of the least studied of the large ___MASK74___ families , probably due to the small size of these ___MASK86___ and the difficulty in specific identification . Glowworm otherwise glow - worm is the common name for various groups of insect larvae and adult larviform females that glow through bioluminescence . They include members of the families ___MASK33___ , ___MASK35___ , ___MASK63___ , and Rhagophthalmidae among beetles ; as well as members of the genera " Arachnocampa ", " Keroplatus ", & " Orfelia " among keroplatid fungus gnats . ___MASK93___ is a genus of five fungus gnat species which have a luminescent larval stage , akin to the larval stage of glowworm beetles . The species of ___MASK93___ are endemic to New Zealand and Australia , dwelling in caves and grottos , or sheltered places in forests . A previous synonym was `` Bolitiphila , '' meaning `` mushroom lover , '' in the past .
