Embiidae is a family of webspinners in the order Embioptera. There are more than 20 genera and 80 described species in Embiidae. [1] [2]
These 23 genera belong to the family Embiidae:
The order Embioptera, commonly known as webspinners or footspinners, are a small group of mostly tropical and subtropical insects, classified under the subclass Pterygota. The order has also been called Embiodea or Embiidina. More than 400 species in 11 families have been described, the oldest known fossils of the group being from the mid-Jurassic. Species are very similar in appearance, having long, flexible bodies, short legs, and only males having wings.
Anisembiidae is a family of insects in the order Embioptera, the web-spinners. The family is divided into several subfamilies. It is the largest family of webspinners.
Edward Shearman Ross was an American entomologist. He majored in entomology at the University of California, Berkeley. Before his PhD was conferred, he worked as curator of insects at the California Academy of Sciences. He wrote many scientific and popular articles about the biology of the insects.
Tephritis is a genus of flies. It contains around 170 described species, making it the sixth largest genus in the family Tephritidae. Many more undescribed species are known from specimen collections. Tephritis occur throughout much of the world, but most are Palearctic. They can be found in a wide range of climate types, from hot semidesert to tundra. Most species inhabit the inflorescences of plants from several tribes in the family Asteraceae, and a few species cause galls to form.
Haploembia solieri or bicolored webspinner is a species of webspinner in the family Oligotomidae. It is found in Europe, Northern Asia, and North America. Unlike Haploembia tarsalis, which reproduces asexually, H. solieri reproduces sexually. Adult specimens of H. solieri are orange and black and around 11 mm long.
Haploembia is a genus of webspinners in the family Oligotomidae. There are at least three described species in Haploembia. They are native to the Mediterranean, but have been observed in the western United States, and are adventive elsewhere.
Oligotomidae is a family of webspinners in the order Embioptera. There are about 6 genera and at least 40 described species in Oligotomidae.
Diradius is a genus of webspinners in the family Teratembiidae. There are about 15 described species in Diradius.
Electrentomidae is an extinct family of barklice, booklice, and parasitic lice in the order Psocodea. There are about six genera and seven described species in Electrentomidae. The family was synonymsed with the extant family Manicapsocidae in 2003 without discussion, with a prior proposal in 1972, but Azar et al., 2017, stated that "we consider herein [Electrentomidae and Manicapsocidae] apart, because a cladistic phylogenetic analysis is needed prior to taking such important decision for these groups."
Hoplopleuridae is a family of lice in the order Psocodea. There are about 6 genera and more than 150 described species in Hoplopleuridae.
Linognathidae is a family of lice in the order Psocodea. There are at least 3 genera and 70 described species in Linognathidae.
Gripopterygidae is a family of stoneflies in the order Plecoptera. There are more than 50 genera and 320 described species in Gripopterygidae.
Notonemouridae is a family of stoneflies in the order Plecoptera. There are more than 20 genera and at least 120 described species in Notonemouridae.
Andesembiidae is a family of webspinners--insects of the order Embioptera. There are at least two genera and about seven described species in Andesembiidae.
Archembiidae is a family of webspinners in the order Embioptera. There are at least 2 genera and about 12 described species in Archembiidae.
Australembiidae is a family of webspinners in the order Embioptera. There is at least one genus, Metoligotoma, in the family Australembiidae.
Clothodidae is a family of webspinners in the order Embioptera. There are about 8 genera and 25 described species in Clothodidae.
Paedembiidae is a family of webspinners in the order Embioptera. There are at least three genera and three described species in Paedembiidae.
Scelembiidae is a family of webspinners in the order Embioptera. There are about 16 genera and more than 40 described species in Scelembiidae.
