Brachypnoea tristis is a species of leaf beetle. [3] [4] [5] [6] It is found in the Eastern United States. [6] [7]
The Donaciinae are a subfamily of the leaf beetles, or Chrysomelidae, characterised by distinctly long antennae. They are found in mainly the Northern Hemisphere, with some species found in the Southern Hemisphere.
Brachypnoea texana is a species of leaf beetle. It is endemic to the Edwards Plateau in Texas. It was first described by the American entomologist Charles Frederic August Schaeffer in 1919.
Brachypnoea is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is mostly found in the Neotropical realm, though there are also eight known species in the Nearctic realm.
Eumolpini is a tribe of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is the largest tribe in the subfamily, with approximately 170 genera found worldwide. Members of the tribe almost always have a longitudinal median groove on the pygidium, which possibly helps to keep the elytra locked at rest. They also generally have a subglabrous body, as well as appendiculate pretarsal claws.
Rhabdopterus is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. There are about 70 described species in Rhabdopterus from North and South America, eight of which are found north of Mexico. The Nearctic species may not be congeneric with the type species, which is South American.
Rhabdopterus praetextus is a species of leaf beetle. It is found in North America.
Rhabdopterus weisei is a species of leaf beetle. It is found in North America. It was originally described under the name Colaspis subaenea by the American entomologist Charles Frederic August Schaeffer in 1919. However, this name was already used for a species described by Martin Jacoby in 1890, so Schaeffer renamed his species to Colaspis weisei the following year. It was later moved to the genus Rhabdopterus by Herbert Spencer Barber in 1943.
Chrysodinopsis is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It was first described by the Czech entomologist Jan Bechyné in 1950. There are three described species in Chrysodinopsis. The genus is possibly synonymous with Brachypnoea.
Spintherophyta violaceipennis is a species of leaf beetle native to North America. Its range spans from southern Arizona and California south to Mexico. The species can be identified by the color of the pronotum and elytra: the pronotum is shiny and has a dark blue color, while the elytra are dark coppery red to a deep purple. The species is reported to feed on oak, willow, juniper and pine. The specific name, violaceipennis, is derived from the Latin for "violet wings".
Spintherophyta is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. Most species in the genus are found in Central and South America, but there are also a few North American species.
Metaparia is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. There are nine described species in Metaparia, from North America and Central America.
Brachypnoea clypealis is a species of leaf beetle. It is found in the Eastern United States.
Brachypnoea lecontei is a species of leaf beetle. It occurs in the Great Plains of the United States. In Texas, it is known to feed on Texas live oak.
Brachypnoea puncticollis, the rose leaf beetle, is a species of leaf beetle. It is distributed from the Eastern United States to the Rocky Mountains.
Colaspis crinicornis is a species of leaf beetle from North America. It primarily occurs in the Great Plains of the United States. It was first described by the American entomologist Charles Frederic August Schaeffer in 1933. Though it has not historically been considered a pest, population densities of the species have been increasing in corn and soybean over the last decade in southeastern Nebraska. A study has found C. crinicornis to be univoltine in the same region, and that it overwinters in soil as larvae. It has also been found that diets of corn or soybean leaves do not affect the consumption, longevity or fecundity of adult C. crinicornis.
Brachypnoea convexa is a species of leaf beetle. It is found in the Eastern United States.
Brachypnoea margaretae is a species of leaf beetle. It is distributed across the northeastern United States and southeastern Canada, from Massachusetts to North Dakota and Ontario to Manitoba.
Spintherophyta globosa is a species of leaf beetle found in North America. It is widespread east of the Rocky Mountains, its range spanning from the East Coast west to Colorado and western Texas, and it may also occur in Arizona and Mexico. Its body is globose and colored black to dark brown, while the legs, antennae and mouth-parts are red-orange in color. The species is reported to be polyphagous.
Brachypnoea rotundicollis is a species of leaf beetle. It is found in southeastern Texas. It was first described by the American entomologist Charles Frederic August Schaeffer in 1906.
Agasicles is a genus of flea beetles belonging to the family Chrysomelidae. The species of this genus are native to South America, though the species Agasicles hygrophila has been introduced to the southeastern United States as a biological control agent against alligator weed.
