Cymindis impressa Reitter, 1893 | |
Cymindis impressa is a species of ground beetle in the subfamily Harpalinae. [1] It was described by Reitter in 1893. [1]
Epacris impressa, also known as common heath, is a plant of the heath family, Ericaceae, that is native to southeast Australia. French botanist Jacques Labillardière collected the species in 1793 and described it in 1805. Four forms have been identified, but no subspecies are recognised. Growing in heathland, shrubland or open forest, it is generally a small shrub around 0.5 to 1 m tall, with small stiff leaves. The red, pink or white tube-like flowers appear from late autumn to early spring. Honeyeater birds, particularly the eastern spinebill, feed upon the nectar of the flowers. It regenerates after bushfire by seed or by resprouting.
The Zopheridae family of beetles has grown considerably in recent years as the members of two other families have been included within its circumscription; these former families are the Monommatidae and the Colydiidae, which are now both included in the Zopheridae as subfamilies or even as tribe of subfamily Zopherinae. Some authors accept up to six subfamilies here, while others merge all except the Colydiinae into the Zopherinae.
Colydiinae is a subfamily of beetles, commonly known as cylindrical bark beetles. They have been treated historically as a family Colydiidae, but have been moved into the Zopheridae, where they constitute the bulk of the diversity of the newly expanded family, with about 140 genera worldwide. They are diverse for example in the Australian region, from where about 35 genera are known; in Europe, though, only 20 genera are found and many of these only with few species.
Corticaria is a genus of beetles in the family Latridiidae, containing the following species:
Harpalus is a genus of ground beetle first described by Pierre André Latreille in 1802.
Trogoderma is a genus of beetles in the family Dermestidae, the skin beetles. There are about 135 species worldwide.
Onthophagus is a genus of dung beetles in the Onthophagini tribe of the wider scarab beetle family, Scarabaeidae. It is the most species-rich and widespread genus in the subfamily Scarabaeinae, with a global distribution.
Cymindis is a genus of ground beetle native to the Palearctic, the Near East, and North Africa. It contains the following species:
Alexiidae is a family of beetles. It contains a single genus, Sphaerosoma, formerly included within the family Cerylonidae, with around 50 species which are native to the western Palearctic. Species of Sphaerosoma are very small, around 1 to 2 mm in length rounded beetles with clubbed antennae. They are fungivores, having been observed feeding on mushrooms, and have been also been found in leaf litter and on decaying bark.
Agapanthia is a genus of flat-faced longhorn beetle belonging to the family Cerambycidae, subfamily Lamiinae.
Neocrepidodera is a genus of flea beetles in the family Chrysomelidae, containing some 100 described species worldwide.
Rhizophagus is a genus of beetles in the family Monotomidae, containing the following species:
Lilioceris is a genus of beetles in the leaf beetle family, Chrysomelidae. The genus was first scientifically described in 1912 by Edmund Reitter. Lilioceris belongs to the subfamily Criocerinae and tribe Criocerini.
Cymindis corax is a species of ground beetle in the subfamily Harpalinae. It was described by Reitter in 1889.
Cymindis kalavrytana is a species of ground beetle in the subfamily Harpalinae. It was described by Reitter in 1884.
Cymindis pilosissima is a species of ground beetle in the subfamily Harpalinae. It was described by Reitter in 1894.
Cymindis triangularis is a species of ground beetle in the subfamily Harpalinae. It was described by Reitter in 1897.
Cymindis walteri is a species of ground beetle in the subfamily Harpalinae. It was described by Reitter in 1889.
Trichodes is a genus of checkered beetle belonging to the family Cleridae, subfamily Clerinae.
