Conoblemmus is a genus of crickets in the tribe Gryllini; species are recorded from central Asia. [1]
Conoblemmus is very close to the genus Cophaphonus. The body of this species is dense, covered with short hairs. The protonum and head are identical in width. There is an absence of ocelli, and horizontal diameters of the eyes are equal to the distance from anterior margin of the eye to the apex of frons. In males, the frons are flat and concave, while in females it is weakly rounded and protruding forwards.
The vertex (top of the head) is rounded and sloping slowly. Facial keels in males are distinct and, and obliterated in females.The pronotum is trapezoidal, narrowing towards the posterior end, having a maximum width greater than its length. The lateral pronotal lobes are also trapezoidal, narrowing towards the rear. The anterior and posterior margins are almost straight, while the front and back lower angles are rounded broadly.
The mesosternal and metasternal episternum (middle and hind underside parts of thorax)contain a pointed tooth at the back edge. The backside of mesosternal epimeron has a rounded notch at the lower edge. The elytra of male specimens are short and lobe-shaped without sound organs, and having sparse venation, whereas ones in female are flat and scale shaped, with no wings.
The front tibia (legs) does not have any tympanal organ on either side, and the front tarsi (feet) are short with the first joint nearly as thick as the third. The hind tibia, however, are thick and constricted laterally. These are rounded at the base and flattened between the spines. The upper side of the hind tibia has spines arranged in a dual-row pattern, which are thick and immobile with short hairs. The first joint of hind tarsus is laterally compressed, with upper side margins having short, thick spinules.
The supra-anal plate has a longitudinal median groove and a rounded edge. Both sexes exhibit long cerci (appendages at abdomen), reaching nearly to the middle of the hind tibia. In males, the subgenital plate has a notch at the tip, while it is small, concave, and trapezoidal, narrowing towards the tip in females.
The genus contains the following species: [1]
Wadiasaurus is an extinct genus of dicynodont from the family Kannemeyeria, that lived in herds from the early to Middle Triassic. Substantial fossorial evidence of W. indicus was recovered from Yerrapalli Formation of the Pranhita-Godavari valley, India, and it is so far the only Kannemeyeriid known for certain from India. The Kannemeyeriiformes underwent a significant diversification during the middle Triassic, with roughly 40 known species distributed worldwide. All Kannemeyeriiformes were medium to large bodied, graviportal herbivores with relatively erect posture and gait. Wadiasaurus indicus is currently the only known species of Wadiasaurus.
Insect morphology is the study and description of the physical form of insects. The terminology used to describe insects is similar to that used for other arthropods due to their shared evolutionary history. Three physical features separate insects from other arthropods: they have a body divided into three regions, three pairs of legs, and mouthparts located outside of the head capsule. This position of the mouthparts divides them from their closest relatives, the non-insect hexapods, which include Protura, Diplura, and Collembola.
Leptostylopsis annulipes is a species of longhorn beetles of the subfamily Lamiinae.
Apterostigma is a genus of New World ants of the subfamily Myrmicinae. Two species have been described from fossils preserved in Dominican amber, while the others are extant. They are fungus-growing ants, though, unlike the majority of other species in Attini who grow Lepiotaceae, some species have begun cultivating Tricholomataceae.
Cebrionini is a tribe of click beetles from the family Elateridae; formerly ranked as a subfamily or family, they are now considered a tribe within the subfamily Elaterinae.
Bicentenaria is an extinct genus of carnivorous coelurosaurian theropods which lived during the early Late Cretaceous (Cenomanian) Candeleros Formation of Argentina. It contains the type species, B. argentina.
Glyphoderma is an extinct genus of placodont reptile from the Middle Triassic of China with two known species, G. kangi and G. robusta. It differs from its relative Psephochelys in having three, rather than one, fused osteoderms on the posterior skull surface, and has an earlier temporal range, from the Ladinian epoch rather than the Late Triassic. Otherwise, it is similar in most respects to the other plachochelyids found in China. The name comes from the Greek 'γλυφος', 'sculpture' and 'δερμα', 'skin' referring to its unique carapace structure. The specific name honours a Mr. Kang Ximin.
Pristomyrmex tsujii is a species of ant in the genus Pristomyrmex. Known from Fiji, where they are widely distributed but rarely encountered. The species has a discrete ergatoid queen caste that is intermediate between a worker and an alate queen.
Helophilus fasciatus, the narrow-headed marsh fly, is an abundant species of syrphid fly observed throughout the United States and Canada. Hoverflies can remain nearly motionless in flight. The adults are also known as flower flies for they are commonly found on flowers, from which they get both energy-giving nectar and protein-rich pollen. The larvae of this genus are associated with wet decaying organic material, particularly accumulations of decaying vegetation in ponds and mud and farmyard manure or silage. The adults of this species lays eggs on vegetation overhanging the water. The larvae hatch and drop into the water.
'Dasysyrphus intrudens' is a placeholder name for a complex of hover fly species that have yet to be properly been divided into individual species. It is found in the Holarctic realm. Though this species actually a complex, it is commonly found in many areas of its range, but yet the larvae of this species were not known to science as of 2012. This may be due to the probable nocturnal habit of these larvae if it is similar to some known larvae of this genus.
Armadillidium atticum is a European species of woodlouse endemic to Greece. It is a relatively small species and belongs to the so called "Armadillidium insulanum complex".
Armadillidium pieperi is a European species of woodlouse endemic to Greece. It is a relatively medium-sized species that probably belongs to the so-called "Armadillidium fossuligerum complex".
Armadillidium phalacronum is a European species of woodlouse endemic to Greece. It is a relatively small-sized species that probably belongs to the so-called "Armadillidium insulanum complex".
Orestes botot is a species of stick insects native in Vietnam.
Spathosternum prasiniferum is a species of short-horned grasshopper in the family Acrididae. It is found in Indomalaya.
Sphegina (Asiosphegina) bifida is a species of hoverfly in the family Syrphidae found in Malaysia. It's similar to S. (A.) inventum, though it's differentiated by having the male superior lobe on both sides longer than wide instead of wider than long.
Sphegina cultrigera is a species of hoverfly in the family Syrphidae found in Kambaiti Pass, Myanmar, a montane forest with swampy areas and streams located 2000 meters above sea level.
Sphegina apicalis is a species of hoverfly in the family Syrphidae found in Taiwan.
Sphaerophoria bifurcata, the symmetric globetail, is a species of syrphid fly in the family Syrphidae. The larvae of this genus are predators of aphids and other small hymenoptera. The larvae of this particular species is not known.
Perothops is a genus of false click beetles in the family Eucnemidae containing 3 species. They are known as beech-tree beetles or perothopid beetles. They are small as they are only 10–18 millimeters long. It is the only genus in the monotypic subfamily Perothopinae. They are dark-colored beetles that are found across the United States, generally in forests. The genus was discovered by Johann Friedrich von Eschscholtz in 1836. It used to be considered a family not part of Eucnemidae. The genus's name is from Greek, translating to "maimed/crippled eye" or "eye of little necklaces/bands", referring to the placement of perothopid eyes.
