Alfius is a genus of Chrysomelinae (leaf beetles) endemic to Queensland, Australia. [1] [2]
Three species are included in the genus:
Cyrtodactylus is a diverse genus of Asian geckos, commonly known as bent-toed geckos, bow-fingered geckos, and forest geckos. The genus has at least 300 described species as of 2020, which makes it the largest of all gecko genera.
The Chrysomelinae are a subfamily of leaf beetles (Chrysomelidae). Some 2000 species are found, with worldwide distribution. The best-known member is the notorious Colorado potato beetle, an important agricultural pest.
Ryssonotus nebulosus is a beetle of the family Lucanidae, and the sole member of the genus Ryssonotus. It is found in Queensland and New South Wales, Australia.
Paropsis is a genus of Chrysomelidae, commonly referred to as tortoise beetles, which includes over 70 described species. Their small size, bright colours and patterns, and roughly hemispherical shape cause them to be mistaken for beetles in the family Coccinellidae (ladybirds). They are distributed across Australia, New Zealand and Papua New Guinea. They primarily feed on Eucalyptus but there are a few that feed on Baeckea, Kunzea and Leptospermum. Species within this genus are noted as pests. For example, Paropsis charybdis is a pest of Eucalyptus in New Zealand.
The Myuchelys is a genus of turtles, the Australian saw-shelled turtles, in the family Chelidae and subfamily Chelodininae. They inhabit the headwaters and tributaries of rivers within their range and this led to the name Myuchelys, which is formed from the Aboriginal word myuna meaning clear water and the Greek chelys meaning turtle. They have a short neck and the intergular scute completely separates the gular scutes. They have no alveolar ridge separating them from the snapping turtles of the genus Elseya.
Gastrophysa viridula, known as the green dock beetle, green dock leaf beetle or green sorrel beetle, is a species of beetle native to Europe.
Promechus splendens is a species of beetle belonging to the Chrysomelidae family.
Promechus is a genus of beetles belonging to the Chrysomelidae family.
Phyllocharis ewani is a species of leaf beetle belonging to the family Chrysomelidae.
Paropsisterna is a genus of leaf beetles indigenous to Papua New Guinea and Australia. There are over 120 species, many with bright aposematic colours, and many feeding on Eucalyptus leaves. The genus as currently defined includes species formerly listed under Chrysophtharta Weise, 1901.
Dicranosterna is a genus of leaf beetles, in the subfamily Chrysomelinae.
Paropsides is a genus of beetles commonly called leaf beetles and in the subfamily Chrysomelinae. They are distributed from eastern Asia to eastern Australia. Paropsides are small and specialist feeders on native Australian plants. There are 21 species in Australia and they occur mainly on the south-eastern states. The green Paropsides calypso is a native species which commonly attacks the lillipilli genus Syzygium. Paropsides opposita feeds on Tea tree Melaleuca sp.
Calomela is a genus of beetles commonly called leaf beetles and in the family Chrysomelidae. They are specialist feeders on various species of Acacia and are not reported as a problem species. The beetles are cylindrical when compared with other leaf beetles and their larvae are globose. Calomela includes about 45 species and are found in all states of Australia
Chalcolampra is a genus of leaf beetles. These beetles are widespread from Southeast Asia to Australia and New Zealand, but most common in the southeast of Australia. There are approximately 25 Australian species within this genus. There are also 13 species described from New Zealand, with up to an additional 20 undescribed species from the South Island.
The Spilopyrinae are a small subfamily of the leaf beetles, or Chrysomelidae. They occur in Australia, New Guinea, New Caledonia and Chile. They were formerly considered a tribe of the subfamily Eumolpinae. The group was elevated to subfamily rank by C. A. M. Reid in 2000. However, some authors have criticised this placement, preferring to retain them within the Eumolpinae.
Paropsimorpha elegans is a species of leaf beetle found in Australia.
Calligrapha is a genus of large American Chrysomelinae of imprecise taxonomic boundaries. Most species occur in Central and South America.
Macrolema is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Spilopyrinae. It is found in Australia and New Guinea.
Allsortsia is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Spilopyrinae. It contains only one species, Allsortsia maculata. It is found only in Australia, in the tropical rainforest of north Queensland.
Phola is a genus of leaf beetles in the family Chrysomelidae, subfamily Chrysomelinae. It occurs in east and south-east Asia, the south-west pacific, eastern and northern Australia. It was formerly a synonym of Chalcolampra. It is distinguished from other chrysomeline genera in Australia by the twisted epipleura, but its recognition may render either Chalcolampra or Phyllocharis paraphyletic.
