Allometry
Allometry (Ancient Greek "other", "measurement") is the study of the relationship of body size to shape, anatomy, physiology and behaviour, first outlined by Otto Snell in 1892, by D'Arcy Thompson in 1917 in On Growth and Form and by Julian Huxley in 1932.
Antler
Antlers are extensions of an animal's skull found in members of the Cervidae (deer) family.
Beetle
Beetles are insects that form the order Coleoptera, in the superorder Holometabola.
Callovian
In the geologic timescale, the Callovian is an age and stage in the Middle Jurassic, lasting between 165.3 ± 1.1 Ma (million years ago) and 161.5 ± 1.0 Ma.
Cervus
Cervus is a genus of deer that primarily are native to Eurasia, although one species occurs in northern Africa and another in North America.
Convergent evolution
Convergent evolution is the independent evolution of similar features in species of different periods or epochs in time.

Deer
A deer (deer) or true deer is a hoofed ruminant ungulate of the family Cervidae (informally the deer family).
Dynastinae
Dynastinae or rhinoceros beetles are a subfamily of the scarab beetle family (Scarabaeidae).

Europe
Europe is a continent located entirely in the Northern Hemisphere and mostly in the Eastern Hemisphere.
Haifanggou Formation
The Haifanggou Formation, also known as the Jiulongshan Formation, is a fossil-bearing rock deposit located near Daohugou village of Ningcheng County, in Inner Mongolia, northeastern China.

Insect mouthparts
Insects have mouthparts that may vary greatly across insect species, as they are adapted to particular modes of feeding.

Lamprima aurata
Lamprima aurata, the golden stag beetle, is a species of beetle in the family Lucanidae.
See Stag beetle and Lamprima aurata
Larva
A larva (larvae) is a distinct juvenile form many animals undergo before metamorphosis into their next life stage.
Lucania
Lucania was a historical region of Southern Italy, corresponding to the modern-day region of Basilicata.
Lucaninae
The Lucaninae comprise the largest subfamily of the stag beetles (Lucanidae). Stag beetle and Lucaninae are Lucanidae.
Lucanus cervus
Lucanus cervus, known as the European stag beetle, or the greater stag beetle, is one of the best-known species of stag beetle (family Lucanidae) in Western Europe, and is the eponymous example of the genus.
