This the microsculpture of the pits on the elytron was studied for ten species of burning beetles family meloidae back to subfamilies Meloinae and Nemognathinae to show the great diversity in the shape of the pits found on the elytron in these species :Croscherichia goryi, Cerocoma graeca, Lydus mesopotamicus  sp. , Lytta nitidula, Nemognatha chrysomelina, Nemognatha sp., Zonitis immaculata, Zonitis fernancastroi, Mylabris sp., Lydomorphus sp.
