Danacea is a genus of beetles belonging to the family Melyridae.
Phyllobius is a genus of weevils containing at least 60 described species, some of which are commonly found in Europe.
Cantharis is a large genus of soldier beetles in the family Cantharidae with narrow and soft elytra.
Melyridae are a family of beetles of the superfamily Cleroidea.
Ernobius is a genus of beetles in the family Ptinidae. There are about 90 species. Most occur in North America, Europe, and North Africa.
Attagenus is a genus of beetles. This genus is found in tropical Africa, the Palearctic including Europe, the Near East, the Nearctic, North Africa and East Asia. There are nearly 200 species. The genus has existed for at least 99 million years, with fossils known from the Cenomanian aged Burmese amber and Turonian aged New Jersey amber.
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.
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.
Drilus is a genus of beetles belonging to the family Elateridae.
Mordellistena is a genus of beetles in the family Mordellidae, containing the following species:
Stenalia is a genus of beetles in the family Mordellidae, containing the following species:
