Allosorius is a genus of rove beetles in the family Staphylinidae. There are at least three described species in Allosorius. [1] [2]
These three species belong to the genus Allosorius:
The rove beetles are a family (Staphylinidae) of beetles, primarily distinguished by their short elytra that typically leave more than half of their abdominal segments exposed. With over 66,000 species in thousands of genera, the group is the largest family in the beetle order, and one of the largest families of organisms. It is an ancient group, with fossilized rove beetles known from the Triassic, 200 million years ago, and possibly even earlier if the genus Leehermania proves to be a member of this family. They are an ecologically and morphologically diverse group of beetles, and commonly encountered in terrestrial ecosystems.
Oreophryne, the cross frogs, is a genus of microhylid frogs. They are found in the southern Philippines, Sulawesi and the Lesser Sunda Islands, and New Guinea and New Britain.
Coprophilus is, with about 30 species, a genus of staphylinid beetles. They are confined to temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere. They are generally found in rotting plants and woods, compost, under leaf litter, and near herbivore dung, hence their generic name.
Protemnodon is an extinct genus of megafaunal macropodids that existed in Australia, Tasmania, and New Guinea in the Pliocene and Pleistocene. Members of this genus are also called giant kangaroos.
Aleodorus is a genus of rove beetles in the family Staphylinidae. There are at least four described species in Aleodorus.
Hoplandria is a genus of rove beetles in the family Staphylinidae. There are about 13 described species in Hoplandria.
Pelecomalium is a genus of ocellate rove beetles in the family Staphylinidae. There are at least three described species in Pelecomalium.
Tarphiota is a genus in the family of beetles known as Staphylinidae. There are at least three described species in Tarphiota. Members of this genus are found on seashores, in association with decaying seaweed.
Tetradonia is a genus of rove beetles in the family Staphylinidae. There are at least three described species in Tetradonia.
Gyrophaena is a genus of rove beetles in the family Staphylinidae. There are more than 160 described species in Gyrophaena.
Sceptobius is a genus of rove beetles in the family Staphylinidae. There are at least three described species in Sceptobius.
Goniusa is a genus of rove beetles in the family Staphylinidae. There are at least three described species in Goniusa.
Liparocephalus is a genus of rove beetles in the family Staphylinidae. There are at least four described species in Liparocephalus.
Atheta is a genus of rove beetles in the family Staphylinidae. There are more than 640 described species in Atheta.
Halobrecta is a genus of rove beetles in the family Staphylinidae. There are about six described species in Halobrecta.
Beyeria is a genus of rove beetles in the family Staphylinidae. There are at least two described species in Beyeria.
Stephen Ernest Thorpe was an English-born entomologist in New Zealand. He contributed vast amounts of data and analysis in many contexts, particularly to iNaturalist. Thorpe was a member of the research group that described the beetle genus Neodoxa in 2003. In 2011, he helped with describing the New Zealand marsh beetle species Stenocyphon neozealandicus by recognising the species among unsorted insect specimens at Auckland War Memorial Museum while he was volunteering. Thorpe was murdered on 24 August 2024 during his daily walk to search for insects and plants. Thirteen species were named after Thorpe.
Neodoxa is a genus of beetles belonging to the family Staphylinidae. The genus was described by Jan Klimaszewski, John Marris and Stephen Ernest Thorpe in 2003, and is found in New Zealand, Australia and Tonga.
Sagola thorpei is a species of rove beetle belonging to the family Staphylinidae. The species was first described by Jong-Seok Park and Christopher E. Carlton in 2014, and is endemic to New Zealand.
Pseudopisalia is a monotypic genus of rove beetle belonging to the family Staphylinidae. The sole species found in this genus is Pseudopisalia turbotti. Both the genus and species were first described by Malcolm Cameron in 1950. Pseudopisalia turbotti is endemic to Manawatāwhi / Three Kings Islands in New Zealand.
