Agriotes is a genus of beetles in the family Elateridae which includes numerous species, many of which are found in the Americas, Asia and much of Europe. [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9]
The Global Biodiversity Information Facility list 274 species, [10] which include significant agricultural pests such as:
In biology, taxonomy is the scientific study of naming, defining (circumscribing) and classifying groups of biological organisms based on shared characteristics. Organisms are grouped into taxa and these groups are given a taxonomic rank; groups of a given rank can be aggregated to form a more inclusive group of higher rank, thus creating a taxonomic hierarchy. The principal ranks in modern use are domain, kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, and species. The Swedish botanist Carl Linnaeus is regarded as the founder of the current system of taxonomy, as he developed a ranked system known as Linnaean taxonomy for categorizing organisms and binomial nomenclature for naming organisms.
The Integrated Taxonomic Information System (ITIS) is an American partnership of federal agencies designed to provide consistent and reliable information on the taxonomy of biological species. ITIS was originally formed in 1996 as an interagency group within the US federal government, involving several US federal agencies, and has now become an international body, with Canadian and Mexican government agencies participating. The database draws from a large community of taxonomic experts. Primary content staff are housed at the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History and IT services are provided by a US Geological Survey facility in Denver. The primary focus of ITIS is North American species, but many biological groups exist worldwide and ITIS collaborates with other agencies to increase its global coverage.
Ostrea edulis, commonly known as the European flat oyster, is a species of oyster native to Europe. In Britain and Ireland, regional names include Colchester native oyster, mud oyster, or edible oyster. In France, Ostrea edulis are known as huîtres plates except for those that come from the Belon River estuary in Brittany, France, which are known as Belons.
Scolopendridae is a family of large centipedes.
Van Sung's shrew, also known as Cao Van Sung mountain shrew is a species of shrew in the Soricomorpha order. Specimens of Chodsigoa caovansunga have been found in Vietnam.
The pygmy brown-toothed shrew is a species of shrew in the order Eulipotyphla. It is distributed in China. C. parva was initially thought to be the same as Chodsigoa lamula, but it was found to be a separate species.
The lesser Taiwanese shrew is a rare species of shrew in the Soricomorpha order.
Episoriculus is a genus of shrew in the red-toothed shrew subfamily. Its common is brown-toothed shrew. It has been described as a subgenus to Soriculus in the past. The genus occurs at a number of locations in Asia, including Nepal and China.
Chrysomela is a genus of leaf beetles found almost throughout the world, but not in Australia. It contains around 40 species, including 7 in eastern and northern Europe. It also includes at least 17 species in North America, including the cottonwood leaf beetle Chrysomela scripta.
Omosita is a genus of sap beetles, erected by Wilhelm Ferdinand Erichson in 1843.
Grynocharis is a genus of bark-gnawing beetles in the family Lophocateridae. There are at least four described species in Grynocharis.
Linopodes is a genus of mites in the family Cocceupodidae. There are at least two described species.
Megatibicen is a genus of cicadas in the family Cicadidae, with about 10 described species. Until 2016, these species were included in the genus Tibicen and then briefly in Neotibicen. The species formerly of genera Ameritibicen Lee, 2016 and Gigatibicen Lee, 2016 are now considered species of Megatibicen Sanborn & Heath, 2016.
Ontholestes is a genus of large rove beetles in the family Staphylinidae. There are at least 20 described species in Ontholestes.
Scantius is a genus of mostly African and European bugs in the family Pyrrhocoridae. There are at least two described species in Scantius.
Schizotus is a genus of fire-colored beetles in the family Pyrochroidae. There are at least three described species in Schizotus.
Scolopocryptops is a genus of bark centipedes in the family Scolopocryptopidae. There are over 20 described species in Scolopocryptops.
Urocerus is a genus of horntails in the family Siricidae. There are about eight described species in Urocerus.
Trapezonotus arenarius is a species of dirt-colored seed bug in the family Rhyparochromidae. It is found in Africa, Europe and Northern Asia, North America, and Southern Asia.
