Cadmus (Brachycaulus) colossus(Chapuis, 1875)


Cadmus (Brachycaulus) colossus, or Cadmus colossus, is a species of beetle in the subfamily, Cryptocephalinae, or case-bearing leaf beetles, and the subgenus, Brachycaulus. [1] It was first described by Félicien Chapuis in 1875, [1] [2] from a male specimen collected at Port Denison. [2] It is native to Australia, [3] being found in New South Wales and Queensland. [1]

The taxonomic reasoning for the subgeneric arrangement (accepted by the Australian Faunal Directory) [4] is given in Mathews and Reid (2002). [5]

The family Archeocrypticidae is a small group of beetles with no vernacular common name, though recent authors have coined the name cryptic fungus beetles. Adults and larvae seems to be saprophagous and are often found in plant litter. Worldwide, about 10 genera and 50 species are found, most species are pantropical. Enneboeus caseyi has been recorded from the American South, Central America, and Mexico. About 20 species are found in Australia, in the genera Enneboeus,Australenneboeus and Gondwanenneboeus,Archeocrypticus,Falsoplatydema, Nothenneboeus, Sivacrypticus and Wattianus. They are largely absent from the Palearctic and Nearctic regions.

<i>Aaaaba</i> Genus of beetles

Aaaaba is a genus of beetles from the Buprestidae family. It inhabits locations along the east coast of Australia. It was described in 1864 by Achille Deyrolle as "Alcinous", a junior homonym of a genus of pycnogonids. In 2002, Charles Bellamy gave it the replacement name "Aaaba", but this proved to be another junior homonym, of a genus of sponges. In 2013, it was given a further replacement name, becoming Aaaaba.

The Spilopyrinae are a small subfamily of the leaf beetles, or Chrysomelidae. They occur in Australia, New Guinea, New Caledonia and Chile.

However, some authors have criticised this placement, preferring to retain them within the Eumolpinae.

It is known from Australia, the Philippines, Borneo, Java, Micronesia, New Guinea, Hawaii, Moluccas, Sumatra, Vietnam, and has been introduced into Japan.

<i>Dicranolaius bellulus</i> Species of beetle

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 ot 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.
