Euchroma is a genus of beetles in the family Buprestidae.
This genus has one species:
Passalidae is a family of beetles known variously as "bessbugs", "bess beetles", "betsy beetles" or "horned passalus beetles". Nearly all of the 500-odd species are tropical; species found in North America are notable for their size, ranging from 20–43 mm, for having a single "horn" on the head, and for a form of social behavior unusual among beetles.
The rove beetles are a family (Staphylinidae) of beetles, primarily distinguished by their short elytra that typically leave more than half of their abdominal segments exposed. With roughly 63,000 species in thousands of genera, the group is currently recognized as the largest extant family of organisms. It is an ancient group, with fossilized rove beetles known from the Triassic, 200 million years ago, and possibly even earlier if the genus Leehermania proves to be a member of this family. They are an ecologically and morphologically diverse group of beetles, and commonly encountered in terrestrial ecosystems.
Lutrochidae is a family of water beetles with a single genus Lutrochus sometimes known as "travertine beetles", since in North America they are common in springs and streams depositing travertine.
Buprestidae is a family of beetles known as jewel beetles or metallic wood-boring beetles because of their glossy iridescent colors. Larvae of this family are known as flatheaded borers. The family is among the largest of the beetles, with some 15,500 species known in 775 genera. In addition, almost 100 fossil species have been described.
The Trachypachidae are a family of beetles that generally resemble small ground beetles, but that are distinguished by the large coxae of their rearmost legs. There are only six known extant species in the family, with four species of Trachypachus found in northern Eurasia and northern North America, and two species of Systolosoma in Chile. They were much more diverse in the past, with many members belonging to the extinct subfamily Eodromeinae, the first fossils known of this family are of the genera Petrodromeus and Permunda from the Permian-Triassic boundary of Russia.
Sphaerites is a genus of beetles, the only genus in the family Sphaeritidae, sometimes called the false clown beetles. It is closely related to the clown beetles but with distinct characteristics. There are five known species, widespread in temperate area but not commonly seen.
Derodontidae is a family of beetles, in its own superfamily, Derodontoidea, sometimes known as the tooth-necked fungus beetles. Beetles of this family are small, between 2 and 6 mm in length, typically with spiny margins on their pronotum that give them their name, though the genus Laricobius lacks these spines. Unusual among beetles, they have two ocelli on the top of their heads.
The Boridae are a small family of beetles with no vernacular common name, though recent authors have coined the name conifer bark beetles. They feed on decaying cambium and require forests with standing dead trees and with intensive forest management some species have become rare and threatened.
Epistrophe is a genus of flies in the family Syrphidae, the hoverflies or flower flies.
Silvanidae, "silvan flat bark beetles", is a family of beetles in the superfamily Cucujoidea, consisting of 68 described genera and about 500 described species. The family is represented on all continents except Antarctica, and is most diverse at both the generic and species levels in the Old World tropics.
Byturidae, also known as Fruitworms, is a very small family of beetles, in the suborder Polyphaga, comprising fewer than 20 species worldwide. The larvae of some species develop in fruits. Byturus unicolor affects species of Rubus and Geum.
Smicripidae is a family of beetles, in the suborder Polyphaga. The common name for this family is palmetto beetles. The family only has one extant genus, Smicrips, and one extinct genus, Mesosmicrips, known from the Cenomanian aged Burmese amber.
Celypha is a genus of tortrix moths. It belongs to the tribe Olethreutini of subfamily Olethreutinae.
Chrysochroinae is a subfamily of beetles in the family Buprestidae: the "jewel beetles".
Isochariesthes is a genus of longhorn beetles of the subfamily Lamiinae, containing the following species:
Clambidae is a family of beetles. They are known commonly as the minute beetles or the fringe-winged beetles. They are found worldwide on every continent except Antarctica.
Chariesthes euchroma is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by Léon Fairmaire in 1904, originally under the genus Sternotomis. It is known from Madagascar.
Isochariesthes euchroma is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by Stephan von Breuning in 1970.
Cyclaxyridae are a family of beetles in the superfamily Cucujoidea. The only living genus is Cyclaxyra, with two species endemic to New Zealand. Other species have been named from fossils. They are also known as sooty mould beetles due to the association of Cyclaxyra with sooty mould. The extant species are mycophagous, feeding on spores, conidia, and hyphae.
Phyllopertha is a genus of shining leaf chafers in the beetle family Scarabaeidae. There are more than 20 described species in Phyllopertha, found primarily in the Palearctic.
