Anambodera is a genus of beetles in the family Buprestidae, containing the following species: [1]
Beetles are a group of insects that form the order Coleoptera, in the superorder Endopterygota. Their front pair of wings are hardened into wing-cases, elytra, distinguishing them from most other insects. The Coleoptera, with about 400,000 species, is the largest of all orders, constituting almost 40% of described insects and 25% of all known animal life-forms; new species are discovered frequently. The largest of all families, the Curculionidae (weevils) with some 83,000 member species, belongs to this order. Found in almost every habitat except the sea and the polar regions, they interact with their ecosystems in several ways: beetles often feed on plants and fungi, break down animal and plant debris, and eat other invertebrates. Some species are serious agricultural pests, such as the Colorado potato beetle, while others such as Coccinellidae eat aphids, scale insects, thrips, and other plant-sucking insects that damage crops.
Buprestidae is a family of beetles known as jewel beetles or metallic wood-boring beetles because of their glossy iridescent colors. Larvae of this family are known as flatheaded borers. The family is among the largest of the beetles, with some 15,500 species known in 775 genera. In addition, almost 100 fossil species have been described.
Anambodera gemina is a species of metallic wood-boring beetle in the family Buprestidae. It is found in Central America and North America.
Anambodera nebulosa is a species of metallic wood-boring beetle in the family Buprestidae. It is found in North America.
Anambodera palmarum is a species of metallic wood-boring beetle in the family Buprestidae. It is found in Central America and North America.
Centrodera is the genus of the Lepturinae subfamily in long-horned beetle family. Beetles of this genus are distributed in North America, most of them are found only in United States.
Glyptoscelimorpha is a genus of beetles in the family Schizopodidae, containing the following species:
Hesperorhipis is a genus of beetles in the family Buprestidae, containing the following species:
Phaenops is a genus of beetles in the family Buprestidae, containing the following species:

Acmaeoderopsis is a genus of beetles in the family Buprestidae, containing the following species:
Acmaeodera is a genus of beetles in the family Buprestidae, a group of metallic wood-boring beetles favored by insect collectors. Whereas most beetles including most buprestids fly with their elytra held out and vibrating their hindwings to give lift and thrust, the Acmaedodera, however, fly with their hind wings only — the elytra are fused down the center and form a shield over the insect's abdomen, even during flight. This fact, combined with the banding across the abdomen which is common in this family, gives many of them a distinct wasp-like appearance when in flight. Several are therefore considered hymenopteran mimics.
Paratyndaris is a genus of beetles in the family Buprestidae, containing the following species:

Knull is a fictional supervillain appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics, commonly in association with Venom and Carnage. The character is depicted as an evil deity, who created the weapon known as All-Black the Necrosword and the alien races known as the Klyntar and Exolons. The character would go on and have more major role in the Marvel Universe.
