Adriopea pallidata is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae, and the only species in the genus Adriopea. It was described by Thomas Broun in 1910. [1] [2]
Fire-coloured beetles is the common name for members of the tenebrionoid family Pyrochroidae. The family is found worldwide, and is most diverse at temperate latitudes. Adults measure 2–20 millimetres (0.079–0.787 in); larvae reach 35 millimetres (1.4 in). Larvae of Pyrochroinae are found associated with the bark of dead trees. They are probably mostly fungivorous, although they may become cannibalistic if too crowded.
Latridiidae is a family of tiny, little-known beetles commonly called minute brown scavenger beetles or fungus beetles. The number of described species currently stands at around 1050 in 29 genera but the number of species is undoubtedly much higher than this and increases each time a new estimate is made.
Mecodema is a genus of large flightless ground beetle (Carabidae) endemic to New Zealand. The genus is very diverse in comparison to the other three New Zealand genera within the subtribe Nothobroscina. Mecodema is geographically widespread across both the North and South Islands, as well as numerous offshore islands, including the Three Kings Is., Poor Knights Is., Aotea and Hauturu, Kapiti Is., Stephens Is., Stewart Is., Chatham Is., Snares Is.
Evergestis pallidata is a species of moth of the family Crambidae described by Johann Siegfried Hufnagel in 1811. It is found in Europe, across the Palearctic and in North America.
The Chalcodryidae are a family of beetles in the superfamily Tenebrionoidea. It contains at least five species in two genera Chalcodrya and Philpottia, which are endemic to New Zealand. They are generally found associated with moss or lichen covered branches, with the larvae having been found to be associated with dead twigs. They are likely noctural, feeding on lichen and other plant material at night. The genera Sirrhas and Onysius, formerly placed in this family, have subsequently been transferred to Promecheilidae.
Gaioxenus is a genus of beetles in the family Carabidae. Gaioxenus pilipalpis is the only species in the genus. This genus and species was first described by Thomas Broun in 1910. Broun based the descriptions on specimens he collected in Raurimu in the Manawatū-Whanganui region of New Zealand. Gaioxenus pilipalpis is endemic to New Zealand.
Thomas Broun was a Scottish-born soldier, farmer, teacher and entomologist, who spent much of his career in New Zealand. He is known for his study of the beetles (Coleoptera) of New Zealand.
Cerabilia is a genus of beetles in the family Carabidae first described by François-Louis Laporte, comte de Castelnau in 1867. They are found in Australia and New Caledonia.
Enicmus is a genus of beetles in the family Latridiidae, the minute brown scavenger beetles.
Dyspessa pallidata is a species of moth of the family Cossidae. It is found in Transcaucasia, the Caucasus, Turkey, Iran, Jordan, Israel and northern Egypt.
Somatidia is a genus of longhorn beetles of the subfamily Lamiinae, containing the following species:
Saprosites raoulensis is a species of dung beetle endemic to the Kermadec Islands in New Zealand. The holotype specimen of this species was discovered during a scientific expedition to the Kermadecs by W. L. Wallace in 1908. It was found under rotten logs on Raoul Island.
Didymus metrosideri is an endemic weevil from the Kermadec Islands in New Zealand. This species was discovered by W. L. Wallace during the 1908 Kermedec Islands expedition.
Nototorchus is a genus of rove beetles in the family Staphylinidae. There are two described species in Nototorchus, found in New Zealand.
Ctenicera is a genus of click beetles.
Digrammia pallidata is a species of geometrid moth in the family Geometridae. It is found in North America.
Cyclaxyridae are a family of beetles in the superfamily Cucujoidea. The only living genus is Cyclaxyra, with two species endemic to New Zealand. Other species have been named from fossils. They are also known as sooty mould beetles due to the association of Cyclaxyra with sooty mould. The extant species are mycophagous, feeding on spores, conidia, and hyphae.
Demetrida lateralis is a species of ground beetle in the Lebiinae subfamily. It was described by Broun in 1910 and is endemic to New Zealand.
Salpingus is a genus of beetles belonging to the family Salpingidae.
Adoxia is a genus of skeletonizing leaf beetles in the family Chrysomelidae. There are more than 60 described species in Adoxia, found in Australia and New Zealand.
