Cyrtotrachelus is a genus of beetles belonging to the family Curculionidae.
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.
Copelatus is a large genus of small diving beetles. There are some 470 described species in the genus, found worldwide, but they are most diverse in tropical South America, Africa and South-East Asia.
Conognatha is a genus of beetles in the family Buprestidae, containing the following species: They are found in the Neotropical realm.
Lampetis is a genus of beetles in the family Buprestidae, containing the following species:
Polybothris is a genus of beetles in the family Buprestidae, containing the following species:
Acmaeodera is a genus of beetles in the family Buprestidae, a group of metallic wood-boring beetles favored by insect collectors. Whereas most beetles including most buprestids fly with their elytra held out and vibrating their hindwings to give lift and thrust, the Acmaedodera, however, fly with their hind wings only — the elytra are fused down the center and form a shield over the insect's abdomen, even during flight. This fact, combined with the banding across the abdomen which is common in this family, gives many of them a distinct wasp-like appearance when in flight. Several are therefore considered hymenopteran mimics.
Epepeotes is a genus of flat-faced longhorns beetle belonging to the family Cerambycidae, subfamily Lamiinae.
Siagoninae is a subfamily of beetles in the family Carabidae. It contains 83 species in 3 genera:

Sphenophorus is a genus of weevils in the family Curculionidae, and tribe Sphenophorini.
Dorysthenes is a genus of longhorn beetles of the subfamily Prioninae.
Saperdini is a tribe of longhorn beetles of the subfamily Lamiinae.
Lichenophanes is a genus of horned powder-post beetles in the family Bostrichidae. There are more than 40 described species in Lichenophanes.
The Sphenophorini are an important tribe of weevils in the subfamily Dryophthorinae; however, BioLib places this taxon at the subtribe level.
