Desmiphora cucullata Thomson, 1868 | |
Desmiphora cucullata is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by Thomson in 1868. It is known from Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay, and Uruguay. [1]
Beetles are a group of insects that form the order Coleoptera, in the superorder Endopterygota. Their front pair of wings are hardened into wing-cases, elytra, distinguishing them from most other insects. The Coleoptera, with about 400,000 species, is the largest of all orders, constituting almost 40% of described insects and 25% of all known animal life-forms; new species are discovered frequently. The largest of all families, the Curculionidae (weevils) with some 70,000 member species, belongs to this order. Found in almost every habitat except the sea and the polar regions, they interact with their ecosystems in several ways: beetles often feed on plants and fungi, break down animal and plant debris, and eat other invertebrates. Some species are serious agricultural pests, such as the Colorado potato beetle, while others such as Coccinellidae eat aphids, scale insects, thrips, and other plant-sucking insects that damage crops.
Argentina, officially the Argentine Republic, is a country located mostly in the southern half of South America. Sharing the bulk of the Southern Cone with Chile to the west, the country is also bordered by Bolivia and Paraguay to the north, Brazil to the northeast, Uruguay and the South Atlantic Ocean to the east, and the Drake Passage to the south. With a mainland area of 2,780,400 km2 (1,073,500 sq mi), Argentina is the eighth-largest country in the world, the fourth largest in the Americas, and the largest Spanish-speaking nation. The sovereign state is subdivided into twenty-three provinces and one autonomous city, Buenos Aires, which is the federal capital of the nation as decided by Congress. The provinces and the capital have their own constitutions, but exist under a federal system. Argentina claims sovereignty over part of Antarctica, the Falkland Islands, and South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands.
Brazil, officially the Federative Republic of Brazil, is the largest country in both South America and Latin America. At 8.5 million square kilometers and with over 208 million people, Brazil is the world's fifth-largest country by area and the fifth most populous. Its capital is Brasília, and its most populated city is São Paulo. The federation is composed of the union of the 26 states, the Federal District, and the 5,570 municipalities. It is the largest country to have Portuguese as an official language and the only one in the Americas; it is also one of the most multicultural and ethnically diverse nations, due to over a century of mass immigration from around the world.
The Field Elm cultivar Ulmus minor 'Concavaefolia' was first described by Loudon in Arboretum et Fruticetum Britannicum, 3: 1378, 1838.
The Field Elm cultivar Ulmus minor 'Cucullata', the Hooded elm, was listed by Loddiges in the catalogue of 1823 as Ulmus campestris cucullata, and later by Loudon in Arboretum et Fruticetum Britannicum (1838), as U. campestris var. cucullata.

The hooded mountain toucan is a species of bird in the Ramphastidae family. It is found in humid highland forests in the Andes from south-eastern Peru to central Bolivia. This species was originally described in the genus Pteroglossus.
Desmiphora is a genus of longhorn beetles of the subfamily Lamiinae, containing the following species:
Desmiphora tristis is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by Galileo and Martins in 2003. It is known from Colombia.
Desmiphora tigrinata is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by Martins and Galileo in 2002. It is known from Brazil.
Desmiphora aegrota is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by Bates in 1880. It is known from the United States and Panama.
Desmiphora lineatipennis is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by Breuning in 1943. It is known from Argentina.
Desmiphora picta is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by Breuning in 1943. It is known from Argentina.
Desmiphora jullienae is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by Tavakilian and Néouze in 2004. It is known from French Guiana.
Desmiphora crinita is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by Giesbert in 1998. It is known from Panama.
Desmiphora mulsa is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by Giesbert in 1998. It is known from Costa Rica and Panama.
Desmiphora lateralis is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by Thomson in 1868. It is known from Brazil, Uruguay, and Paraguay.
Desmiphora apicata is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by Thomson in 1868. It is known from Brazil and Ecuador.
Desmiphora fasciculata is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by Olivier in 1792. It is known from Brazil, Bolivia, Ecuador, French Guiana, and Mexico.
The Field Elm cultivar Ulmus minor 'Cucullata Variegata', a variegated form of U. minor 'Cucullata', was listed by C. de Vos, in 1867, as U. americana cucullata folia variegata and by Schelle in Beissner Handbuch der Laubholz-Benennung, 82 (1903) as U. campestris concavifolia cucullata variegataHort, without description.
The Wych Elm cultivar Ulmus glabra 'Grandidentata', listed as U. glabra var. grandidentata (Moss), may have been the tree first described by Dumortier in Florula Belgica, 25, 1827, as U. corylacea var. grandidentata, in cultivation before 1830. Green thought it a synonym of 'Cornuta'. 'Grandidentata' may be synonymous with U. glabra 'Corylifolia', which Green thought another synonym of 'Cornuta'.
The Wych Elm cultivar Ulmus glabra 'Concavaefolia' is a curled-leaved form now rare in cultivation, and identified from old herbarium specimens labelled U. scabraMill. [:glabraHuds.] var. concavaefolia. It was also known as the wych 'Cucullata' cultivar.
Ponerorchis cucullata, formerly Neottianthe cucullata, is a species of flowering plant in the family Orchidaceae, native to temperate Eurasia from Poland to Japan, and also to the Himalayas. It is terrestrial, growing from tubers, to a height of up to 30 cm, with pinkish flowers arranged in a one-sided spike. It was placed in several different genera before a study in 2014 showed that it belonged in an expanded Ponerorchis.
