Binburrum is a genus of beetles belonging to the small family of fire-coloured beetles, Pyrochroidae. They are found only in Australia. [1] More species are currently being described. [2]
Larvae are found under moist bark of dead trees, including celerytop logs. [3] [4] Adults may be found around foliage and light. [3]
B. articuno, B. zapdos, and B. moltres were named after legendary birds in Pokémon due to Hsiao's childhood interest and the rarity of the three species. [2]
Mew is one of the fictional species from the Pokémon franchise. It is a small, pink, Psychic-type Mythical Pokémon, it was added to Pokémon Red and Blue by Game Freak programmer Shigeki Morimoto, with the intent of making it obtainable, but was ultimately left out for development and technical reasons. After being discovered through data mining, its presence in the games was surrounded by many rumors and myths, which would end up contributing to the Pokémon franchise's success. For years, Mew was legitimately unobtainable in the games except some specific Pokémon distribution events or glitching.
Dung beetles are beetles that feed on feces. Some species of dung beetles can bury dung 250 times their own mass in one night.
The Cucujidae, "flat bark beetles," are a family of distinctively flat beetles found worldwide under the bark of dead trees. The family has received considerable taxonomic attention in recent years and now consists of 70 species distributed in five genera. It was indicated Cucujus species are scavengers, only feeding on pupae and larvae of other insects and on other subcortical beetles such as their own. Since the Cucujidae prey on larvae of potentially tree damaging beetles that spread fungal diseases, they are considered to be beneficial to the health of living trees.
Pokémon the Movie 2000 is a 1999 Japanese animated fantasy adventure film directed by Kunihiko Yuyama. It is the second theatrical release in the Pokémon franchise.
Fire-coloured beetles is the common name for members of the tenebrionoid family Pyrochroidae. The family is found worldwide, and is most diverse at temperate latitudes. Adults measure 2–20 millimetres (0.079–0.787 in); larvae reach 35 millimetres (1.4 in). Larvae of Pyrochroinae are found associated with the bark of dead trees. They are probably mostly fungivorous, although they may become cannibalistic if too crowded.
The Boridae are a small family of tenebrionoid beetles with no vernacular common name, though recent authors have coined the name conifer bark beetles. The family contains three genera. Boros is native to North America and northern Eurasia, Lecontia is endemic to North America, while Synercticus is found in Australia and New Guinea. The larvae of Boros are found under bark and are especially associated with standing dead trees (snags), typically pines, found in old-growth forests. Lecontia larvae are found inhabiting damp parts of the root system of dead standing trees. Little is known of the life habits of Synercticus.
The family Mycteridae is a small group of tenebrionoid beetles with no vernacular common name, though recent authors have coined the name palm and flower beetles. The family Mycteridae is distributed worldwide. There are about 30 genera and 160 species in three subfamilies Mycterinae, Hemipeplinae and Lacconotinae (=Eurypinae). These 3 subfamilies are extremely diverse in appearance and are sometimes difficult to have a present diagnosis of the adults at the family level. About 20 species are found in Australia, species of three genera are found in North America The larvae are generally flattened and typically inhabit the spaces between leaves or the bases of fronds, where they appear to consume fungi.
Prostomidae is a family of beetles with no vernacular common name, though recent authors have coined the name jugular-horned beetles. They are often found in dead wood. The family consist of two extant genera with about 20 species. Prostomis americanus is known from North America. Other species of Prostomis are found in Europe, Africa, the Pacific region and East Asia. Species of Dryocora are known from New Zealand, Australia and Tasmania.
The family Pythidae is a small group of tenebrionoid beetles with no vernacular common name, though recent authors have coined the name dead log bark beetles. There are seven genera, which are largely native to the mid-high latitude regions of the Northern Hemisphere and Australia, with one genus also present in the tropical Americas. The larvae are generally found with decaying vegetation and wood on which they feed, while adults are not associated with the larvae and are generally caught using malaise traps and light traps.
Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Ginji's Rescue Team is a 6-part manga based on the video games Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Blue Rescue Team and Red Rescue Team that first appeared in Japan's CoroCoro Comic in the fall of 2005. Its English language translation was released in Nintendo Power from the September 2006 issue to the February 2007 issue, presented in the same right-to-left format. After the manga's last volume, Viz Media released the entire English translation of the serial in one book.
Cucujus is a genus of beetles in the family Cucujidae, the flat bark beetles. It contains 19 currently recognized species and subspecies.
The beetles of the subfamily Pilipalpinae belong to the small family of fire-coloured beetles (Pyrochroidae). They are found only in the Southern Hemisphere, occurring in Australia, Chile, Madagascar and New Zealand. Most of the genera are small or even monotypic, but it is highly likely that a number of undescribed species exist.
The Ommatidae are a family of beetles in the suborder Archostemata. The Ommatidae are considered the extant beetle family that has most ancestral characteristics. There are only seven extant species, confined to Australia and South America. However, the geographical distribution was much wider during the Mesozoic spanning across Eurasia and Australia, suggesting that they were widespread on Pangea. So far, over 26 extinct genera containing over 170 species of these beetles have been described. Three extant genera have been assigned to this family: Omma,Tetraphalerus and Beutelius. The family is considered to be a subfamily of Cupedidae by some authors, but have been found to be more closely related to Micromalthidae in molecular phylogenies. A close relationship with Micromalthidae is supported by several morphological characters, including those of the mandibles and male genitalia. Due to their rarity, their ecology is obscure, it is likely that their larvae feed on deadwood.
Schizotus is a genus of fire-colored beetles in the family Pyrochroidae. There are at least three described species in Schizotus.
Pytho americanus is a species of dead log beetle in the family Pythidae. It is found in North America. This beetle is able to overwinter both as a larva and an adult. It synthesizes glycerol during cold acclimation.
Dendroides canadensis, the fire-colored beetle, is a species of fire-colored beetle in the family Pyrochroidae from southeastern Canada and the eastern and central United States. This beetle has both the adaptations of freezing tolerance and freezing susceptibility (supercooling).
Dendroides is a genus of fire-colored beetles in the family Pyrochroidae. There are about seven described species in Dendroides.
Ranomafana is a genus of beetles belonging to the family Pyrochroidae.
Neopyrochroa flabellata is a species of fire-coloured beetles in the genus Neopyrochroa. The species' range is the eastern United States.
Binburrum articuno is a species of beetle which in the taxonomy field is classified under the genus Binburrum. It exists only in Australia. It is named after the fictional creature known as Articuno from the pop culture franchise Pokémon. It was named alongside other beetles from the same genus, Binburrum zapdos and Binburrum moltres, by Darren Pollock and Yun Hsiao. Because their names are based on a very popular franchise, these species saw above average media coverage upon being named.
