Chalchas is a genus of South American beetles in the family Melyridae, [2] [3] very commonly misspelled as Chalcas (e.g. [4] ).
Flower chafers are a group of scarab beetles, comprising the subfamily Cetoniinae. Many species are diurnal and visit flowers for pollen and nectar, or to browse on the petals. Some species also feed on fruit. The group is also called fruit and flower chafers, flower beetles and flower scarabs. There are around 4,000 species, many of them still undescribed.
Cerambycinae is a subfamily of the longhorn beetle family (Cerambycidae). The subfamily has a world-wide distribution including: Asia, Europe and the Americas. Within the family, the only subfamily of comparable diversity is the Lamiinae.
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.
Mordella is the type genus of the tumbling flower beetle family (Mordellidae), its subfamily Mordellinae and the tribe Mordellini. It is widely distributed in the Holarctic and adjacent regions. The larvae are primarily dead wood borers.
Oulema is a genus of leaf beetles in the family Chrysomelidae.
Mylabris is a genus of beetles in the family Meloidae. It is endemic to the Palearctic realm. The species-rich genus Hycleus was historically confused with Mylabris. It is superficially similar, but is centered on the Afrotropics.
Acanthocinini is a tribe of longhorn beetles of the subfamily Lamiinae. It was described by Blanchard in 1845.
Colasposoma is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is known from Africa, Asia and Australia.
Mastostethus is a genus of beetles in the family Megalopodidae, containing the following species:
Leptura is a genus of beetles in the family Cerambycidae, containing the following species:
Stictoleptura is a genus of longhorn beetle in the family Cerambycidae.
Callidiini is a tribe of beetles in the subfamily Cerambycinae, containing the following genera:
Simianus is a genus of beetles in the family Callirhipidae. It was described by Blanchard in 1853.
Desmiphorini is a tribe of longhorn beetles of the subfamily Lamiinae.
Dorcadion is a genus of longhorn beetles of the subfamily Lamiinae, containing the following species:
Phytoecia is a genus of longhorn beetles of the subfamily Lamiinae,
Tillinae is a subfamily of beetles in the family Cleridae, the checkered beetles.
Ptilodactylidae is a family of toe winged beetles in the order Coleoptera. There are about 6 genera and 15 described species of North American Ptilodactylidae.
Colaspidea is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is known from North America and the Mediterranean. It has recently been suggested that the Mediterranean species of Colaspidea are a sister genus to Chalcosicya, and that Colaspina forms a sister genus to the former two combined. It has also been suggested that the North American species of Colaspidea may represent a separate genus.
