Astylus aulicus is a species of soft-winged flower beetle in the family Melyridae, found in Central and South America. [1] [2]
Agathidium is a genus of beetles in the family Leiodidae.
Cleroidea is a small superfamily of beetles containing over 10,000 species. Most of the members of the group are somewhat slender, often with fairly soft, flexible elytra, and typically hairy or scaly.
Cleridae are a family of beetles of the superfamily Cleroidea. They are commonly known as checkered beetles. The family Cleridae has a worldwide distribution, and a variety of habitats and feeding preferences.
Melyridae are a family of beetles of the superfamily Cleroidea.
Prionoceridae is a small family of beetles, in the suborder Polyphaga. They form a group within the cleroid beetles and were formerly treated as a subfamily (Prionocerinae) within the family Melyridae. Very little is known of their life history but most species are pollen feeders as adults and occur in large numbers during spring or the host flowering season. Larvae are predatory or feed on decomposing wood.
Astylus atromaculatus is a species of beetle in the family Melyridae. It is variously known as the spotted maize beetle, or pollen beetle. It is indigenous to Argentina and neighbouring countries, but has been accidentally imported into various other regions such as the warmer regions of North America and much of Africa, where it has become invasive.
Pollen beetle is an informal term for any species of beetle associated intimately with suitably pollen-rich species of flowers. Typically such a beetle is adapted to the pollen as a major part of its diet. Species in at least sixteen families of the order Coleoptera could be counted as pollen beetles, and "pollen beetle" also is a common name for some such species.
Aulicus is a genus of checkered beetles in the family Cleridae. There are about 14 described species in Aulicus.
Neoporus aulicus is a species of predaceous diving beetle in the family Dytiscidae. It is found in North America.
Cryptocephalus aulicus is a species of case-bearing leaf beetle in the family Chrysomelidae. It is found in North America.
Dicolectes is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is distributed in Africa.
Mauroniscidae is a family of cleroid beetles, formerly included in the family Melyridae. There are presently five or six genera and roughly 30 described species in Mauroniscidae, all of which are native to the Americas. Almost nothing is known about their biology.
Astylus is a genus of beetles in the family Melyridae. More than 110 species have been described in Astylus. They are found in Central and South America.
Charles Frederic August Schaeffer was an American entomologist who specialized in beetles, particularly chrysomelids and weevils. He described 109 species in 91 genera and some species like Taphrocerus schaefferiNicolay & Weiss were described from his collections and named after him.
Dicranolaius bellulus is a species of soft-winged flower beetle in the family Melyridae, found in Australia, in all mainland states and territories. It was first (partially) described in 1830 by Félix Édouard Guérin-Méneville as Malachius bellulus with the publication of illustrations. However, Guérin-Méneville completed the description with the publication of a text in 1838. Consequently, the Australian Faunal Directory considers the first valid publication to be that of Jean Baptiste Boisduval in 1835. Taxonomic reasons for the various synonyms are given in a 2017 paper by Liu, Slipinski and Pang.
Amecomycter is a genus of beetles in the family Mauroniscidae, historically included in the family Melyridae. The six known species of this genus are found in South America in the countries of Argentina, Chile, and Peru.
Mauroniscus is a genus of beetles in the family Mauroniscidae, historically included in the family Melyridae. The ten known species of this genus are found in South America in the countries of Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Columbia, Ecuador, and Peru.
Mecomycter is a genus of beetles in the family Mauroniscidae, historically included in the family Melyridae. The three known species of this genus are found in North America from Kansas west to California.
Mectemycor is a genus of beetles in the family Mauroniscidae, historically included in the family Melyridae. The three known species of this genus are found in western North America, and all are endemic to California.
Scuromanius is a genus of beetles in the family Mauroniscidae, historically included in the family Melyridae. The six known species of this genus are found in South America from Argentina north to Texas and California in North America.
