Beetle order of insects

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.

<i>Zonopterus</i> genus of insects

Zonopterus is a genus of beetles in the family Cerambycidae. Like most members in the tribe Callichromatini, species in the genus are brightly coloured with bands across the elytra. Most species in the genus are restricted to Southeast Asia with one species occurring in the Western Ghats of South Asia which is closely related to the type species Zonopterus flavitarsis from the eastern Himalayas. The genus was named by Frederick William Hope using the Greek roots ζώνη for belt describing the insect as "belted winged".
