Eudaphisia is a genus of longhorn beetles found in Asia. It was first identified by Pic in 1926 with the two species, Eudaphisia longicornis and Eudaphisia albonotata , the type species. [1] In 1968, the species Eudaphisia albonotatipennis was identified by Breuning. [2] Individuals have been identified in both Laos and Vietnam. In 1991, Eudaphisia longicornis was recorded in China, but was actually an incorrectly identified Neoserixia sp. [3]
The insects of the beetle family Chrysomelidae are commonly known as leaf beetles, and include over 37,000 species in more than 2,500 genera, making up one of the largest and most commonly encountered of all beetle families. Numerous subfamilies are recognized, but the precise taxonomy and systematics are likely to change with ongoing research.
The longhorn beetles (Cerambycidae), also known as long-horned or longicorns, are a large family of beetles, with over 35,000 species described. Most species are characterized by extremely long antennae, which are often as long as or longer than the beetle's body. In various members of the family, however, the antennae are quite short and such species can be difficult to distinguish from related beetle families such as the Chrysomelidae. The scientific name of this beetle family goes back to a figure from Greek mythology: after an argument with nymphs, the shepherd Cerambus was transformed into a large beetle with horns.
The Frank C. Erwin Jr. Center is a multi-purpose arena located on the campus of the University of Texas at Austin in Austin, Texas. It is also sometimes referred to as "The Drum" or "The Superdrum", owing to its round, drum-like appearance from outside.
Paratrechina is one of seven ant genera in the Prenolepis genus-group from the subfamily Formicinae. Six species are included in Paratrechina; one of which, the longhorn crazy ant, is a widespread, pantropical pest.
The Luzon scops owl is an owl endemic to Luzon, Philippines. There are no subspecies.
Derobrachus is a genus of beetles in the Cerambycidae. It contains the following species:
Xylotoles costatus, the Pitt Island longhorn beetle, is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It is endemic to the Chatham Islands. Once thought to be extinct, it is now known to survive on South East Island/Rangatira; being therefore an example of a so-called "Lazarus taxon".
The longhorn crazy ant, also known as "black crazy ant", is a species of small, dark-coloured insect in the family Formicidae. These ants are commonly called "crazy ants" because instead of following straight lines, they dash around erratically. They have a broad distribution, including much of the tropics and subtropics, and are also found in buildings in more temperate regions, making them one of the most widespread ant species in the world. This species, as well as all others in the ant subfamily Formicinae, cannot sting.
Tetropium fuscum, the brown spruce longhorn beetle, is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by Johan Christian Fabricius in 1787. Tetropium fuscum is native to Europe and Northern Asia, and has been introduced to Nova Scotia, Canada. Brown spruce longhorn is a pest of spruce trees.
Myrmecophilus americanus is an ant cricket, a wingless cricket that is an obligate parasite of ants and lives in their nests.
Rhagium inquisitor, the ribbed pine borer, is a species of longhorn beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by Carl Linnaeus in his landmark 1758 10th edition of Systema Naturae. It is distributed widely in the Holarctic, and its larvae burrow into the wood of larch, pine, spruce, birch and oak trees.
Tmesisternus sulcatus is a species of longhorn beetles belonging to the family Cerambycidae, subfamily Lamiinae.
Ancita is a genus of longhorn beetles of the subfamily Lamiinae, containing the following species:
Estoloides is a genus of longhorn beetles of the subfamily Lamiinae, containing the following species:
Dmytro Zajciw was a Ukrainian and Brazilian entomologist, notable for his collection and for his many beetle discoveries. He was born in Velyka Mykhailivka, Ukraine and died in Rio de Janeiro, Brasil. He was the author of Two new genera and species of neotropical Longhorn beetles , 1957, Contribution to the study of Longhorn beetles of Rio de Janeiro , 1958, and was the first to describe the genera Adesmoides and Pseudogrammopsis, as well as the species Beraba angusticollis and Mionochroma subaurosum, among many others.
Obereopsis longicornis is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by Hintz in 1919.
Odontoloxozus longicornis, the longhorn cactus fly, is a species of cactus flies.
Cortodera longicornis is a species of flower longhorn in the beetle family Cerambycidae. It is found in North America.
Typocerus velutinus, known generally as the banded longhorn or cerambycid beetle, is a species of flower longhorn in the family of beetles known as Cerambycidae. It is found in North America.
Typocerus sinuatus, the notch-tipped flower longhorn, is a species of flower longhorn in the beetle family Cerambycidae.
