Ceroglossus speciosus is a species of beetle in the family Carabidae. [1] [2]
The Mydidae, or Mydas flies, are a cosmopolitan family of flies. It is a small family, with about 471 species described. They are generally large in size, including the largest known fly, Gauromydas heros. Many of the species, in addition to their large size, are mimics of stinging hymenopterans, especially wasps.
Ripiphoridae is a cosmopolitan family of some 450 described species of beetles sometimes called "wedge-shaped beetles". Ripiphoridae are unusual among beetle families in that many species are hypermetamorphic parasitoids, an attribute that they share with the Meloidae. Members of the family differ in their choice of hosts, but most attack various species of bees or wasps, while some others attack cockroaches or beetles. Many species of Ripiphoridae have abbreviated elytra, and flabellate or pectinate antennae.
Endomychidae, or handsome fungus beetles, is a family of beetles with representatives found in all biogeographic realms. There are around 120 genera and 1300 species. The family was established based on the type genus Endomychus, a genus erected in 1795 by Panzer which was applied to a species that Linnaeus called Chrysomela coccinea. As the common name suggests, Endomychidae feed on fungi. Crowson, in his influential treatment of the beetles, placed the family within the Cucujoidea. They have a tarsal formal of 4-4-4 or 3-3-3 and the wings lack a closed radial cell. The second antennal segment has a sensory appendage that is as long as the third antennal segment. The family has also been grouped with the Coccinellidae in a group called the Trimera for having pseudotrimerous tarsi. A 2015 molecular phylogeny study found that the Cucujoidea were found to be non-monophyletic and the Endomychidae was refined with the removal of the Anamorphinae from within the family and elevated to the status of a full family, Anamorphidae. Mycetaeinae and Eupsilobiinae were also found not to belong within the clades of the core Endomychidae, and likewise reclassified into the families Mycetaeidae and Eupsilobiidae.
Ceroglossus is a genus in the beetle family Carabidae. There are about 10 described species in Ceroglossus, found in South America.
Galerita is a genus in the beetle family Carabidae. There are more than 90 described species in Galerita.
Ceroglossus buqueti is a beetle of the family Carabidae.
Ceroglossus chilensis, the Chilean magnificent beetle, is a species of beetle of the family Carabidae.
Chromalizus is a genus of beetle in the family Cerambycidae.
Epipocus is a genus of handsome fungus beetles in the family Endomychidae. There are at least 20 described species in Epipocus.
Neoitamus is a genus of robber flies in the family Asilidae. There are at least 60 described species in Neoitamus.
Macrosiagon is a genus of wedge-shaped beetles in the family Ripiphoridae. There are more than 20 described species in Macrosiagon. Under the rules of the ICZN, the nomenclatural gender of the genus name is feminine, as it is based on the Greek word "siagon" (σῐᾱγών), for "jaw", which is feminine in gender, despite recent publications erroneously treating the gender as neuter
Dendroleon is a genus of antlions in the family Myrmeleontidae. There are more than 20 described species in Dendroleon.
