Chrysanthia is a genus of beetles belonging to the family Oedemeridae subfamily Nacerdinae.
The family Oedemeridae is a cosmopolitan group of beetles commonly known as false blister beetles, though some recent authors have coined the name pollen-feeding beetles. There are some 100 genera and 1,500 species in the family, mostly associated with rotting wood as larvae, though adults are quite common on flowers. The family was erected by Pierre André Latreille in 1810.
Carabus is a genus of beetles in family Carabidae. The genus is highly diverse with 94 subgenera, 959 species and 2300 subspecies, thus is the largest genus in the subfamily Carabinae. The vast majority are native to the Palearctic, but 16 Nearctic species are also known. Carabus spp. are 12–50 mm (0.47–1.97 in) long, and most species are wingless and often very colourful. These are nocturnal, predatory beetles that feed on snails, earthworms, and caterpillars. Most Carabus species were thought to have inhabited the Eurasian forest, but the species' low dispersal abilities altered the distribution of lineages within the genus.
Oedemera is a genus of beetles of the family Oedemeridae, subfamily Oedemerinae.
Oedemera nobilis, also known as the false oil beetle, thick-legged flower beetle or swollen-thighed beetle, is a beetle in the family Oedemeridae, a common species in Western Europe, including the south of England.
Pterostichus is a very large genus of ground beetles with a Holarctic distribution in the subfamily Harpalinae. It has over 1,200 species. The beetles are predatory, but sometimes feed on strawberries. They can be found under rocks and prefer slightly moist, sandy soil although preferences differ between species.
Oedemerinae are a subfamily of the false blister beetles, also known as pollen-feeding beetles. The Nacerdinae are sometimes merged here.
Aphodius is a genus of beetles in the family Scarabaeidae. In most species both the adults and larvae are coprophagous although some species have herbivorous or saprophagous larvae. Aphodius species typically dominate dung beetle communities in north temperate ecosystems. Most species are functionally classified as endocoprids, also known as dwellers, because the larvae live and feed within the dung pat itself.
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.
Mycterus curculioides is a species of beetles belonging to the family Mycteridae.
Chrysanthia viridissima is a species of beetles belonging to the family Oedemeridae subfamily Nacerdinae.
Oedemera atrata is a species of beetle belonging to the family Oedemeridae subfamily Oedemerinae.
Oedemera flavipes is a very common species of beetle of the family Oedemeridae, subfamily Oedemerinae.
Oedemera lurida is a species of beetle belonging to the family Oedemeridae subfamily Oedemerinae.
Oedemera podagrariae, common name false blister beetle, is a quite common species of beetles belonging to the family Oedemeridae subfamily Oedemerinae.
Asclerini is a tribe of false blister beetles in the family Oedemeridae. There are more than 40 genera and over 200 described species in Asclerini.
Tetratoma is a genus of polypore fungus beetles in the family Tetratomidae. There are about 25 described species in Tetratoma.
Chrysanthia superba is a species of false blister beetles belonging to the family Oedemeridae.
