Egidyella arcana is a beetle species identified by William James Beal and Rustem Zhantiev in 2001. Egidyella arcana [1] is part of the genus Egidyella and the meadows family. [2] [3] The Catalog of Life does not list any subspecies. [2]
Hydrophilidae, also known colloquially as water scavenger beetles, is a family of beetles. Aquatic hydrophilids are notable for their long maxillary palps, which are longer than their antennae. Several of the former subfamilies of Hydrophilidae have recently been removed and elevated to family rank; Epimetopidae, Georissidae, Helophoridae, Hydrochidae, and Spercheidae. While the majority of hydrophilids are aquatic, around a third of described species are terrestrial, mostly belonging to the subfamily Sphaeridiinae.
The Chalcodryidae are a family of beetles in the superfamily Tenebrionoidea. It contains at least five species in two genera Chalcodrya and Philpottia, which are endemic to New Zealand. They are generally found associated with moss or lichen covered branches, with the larvae having been found to be associated with dead twigs. It is thought that they are noctural, feeding on lichen and other plant material at night. The genera Sirrhas and Onysius, formerly placed in this family, have subsequently been transferred to Promecheilidae.
Acromis spinifex is a species of tortoise beetle from South America. The males have enlarged elytra which are probably used in male–male combat, while females are among the few tortoise beetles to show maternal care of their offspring.
Chaetophora is a genus in the family Byrrhidae, the pill beetles.
Entimus is a genus of broad-nosed weevils belonging to the family true weevil and the Entiminae subfamily.
Egidyella is a genus of beetles in the family Dermestidae, containing the following species:
Aristobia approximator is a species of beetle in the Longhorn family. This species grows to 36mm.
Protognathinus is an extinct genus of stag beetle from the Eocene of Europe, known from the Messel Pit in Germany. This genus is known from the single species P. spielbergi.
Pandeleteius is a genus of broad-nosed weevils in the family Curculionidae. There are over 150 described species in Pandeleteius, distributed across the Americas. Most species in the genus were described by Anne Howden.
Triarius is a genus of skeletonizing leaf beetles in the family Chrysomelidae. There are about seven described species in Triarius. They are found in North America and Mexico.
Attagenini is a tribe of carpet beetles in the family Dermestidae. There are at least 4 genera and 20 described species in Attagenini. Attagenini was previously considered a subfamily of Dermestidae called Attageninae, but was reduced in rank to tribe in 2003.
Lyreus is a genus of cylindrical bark beetles in the family Zopheridae. There are at least three described species in Lyreus.
Silusida is a genus of rove beetles in the family Staphylinidae. There is one described species in Silusida, S. marginella.
Colobicus is a genus of cylindrical bark beetles in the family Zopheridae. There are at least four described species in Colobicus.
Dearthrus is a genus of carpet beetles in the family Dermestidae. There are at least two described species in Dearthrus.
Monocrepidius vespertinus, the tobacco wireworm, is a species of click beetle in the family Elateridae.
Promecheilidae is a family of beetles in the superfamily Tenebrionoidea. Perimylopidae is considered a synonym. They are found in southern South America and associated archipelagos like South Georgia and the Falklands, New Zealand and Tasmania. Some species are associated tree ferns and moss-covered dead wood, and other forested habitats, while others are associated with peat bogs, grasslands and coastal habitats. They are probably phytophagus, feeding on lichen, moss, and other plant material.
Hydrophilus ensifer is a species of water scavenger beetle in the family Hydrophilidae found in the Americas. As of 2020, there are two valid subspecies of H. ensifer, H. e. ensifer and H. e. duvali, however the differences among the subspecies are not well understood.
Telegeusinae is a small subfamily of beetles in the family Omethidae recognizable by enlarged palpi found in males. Though relatively rare, males are sometimes found in large numbers in black light traps. Females are not known in this group, but it is theorized that females are larviform as found in many closely related taxa.
Pteroptyx is a genus of fireflies in the subfamily Luciolinae found in Southeast Asia. It has long been noted for the ability to perform synchronous flashing, though not all species synchronize. These synchronizing species have been found on so-called 'firefly trees' and created a growing firefly-watching tour industry in some regions. Species of the genus have been identified in Malaysia, Thailand, the Philippines, and Hong Kong.
