Gymnostylus latifrons Breuning, 1970 | |
Gymnostylus latifrons is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by Stephan von Breuning in 1970. It is known from the Central African Republic, Cameroon, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. [1]
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 80,000 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.
Stephan von Breuning was an Austrian entomologist who specialised in Coleoptera, particularly Cerambycidae.
The Central African Republic is a landlocked country in Central Africa. It is bordered by Chad to the north, Sudan to the northeast, South Sudan to the east, the Democratic Republic of the Congo to the south, the Republic of the Congo to the southwest and Cameroon to the west. The CAR covers a land area of about 620,000 square kilometres (240,000 sq mi) and had an estimated population of around 4.6 million as of 2016. As of 2019, the CAR is the scene of a civil war, ongoing since 2012.
Phacops is a genus of trilobites in the order Phacopida, family Phacopidae, that lived in Europe, northwestern Africa, North and South America and China from the Late Ordovician until the very end of the Devonian, with a broader time range described from the Late Ordovician. It was a rounded animal, with a globose head and large eyes, and probably fed on detritus. Phacops is often found rolled up, a biological defense mechanism that is widespread among smaller trilobites but further perfected in this genus.
The southern hairy-nosed wombat is one of three extant species of wombats. It is found in scattered areas of semiarid scrub and mallee from the eastern Nullarbor Plain to the New South Wales border area. It is the smallest of all three wombat species. The young often do not survive dry seasons. It is the state animal of South Australia.
Bison latifrons is an extinct species of bison that lived in North America during the Pleistocene epoch. B. latifrons thrived in North America for approximately 200,000 years, but became extinct some 20,000–30,000 years ago, at the beginning of the Last Glacial Maximum.
The Pacific fat sleeper is a species of fish in the family Eleotridae found on the Pacific coast of the Americas from around Palos Verdes, California, to Peru, where it can be found in stagnant or sluggish fresh or brackish waters or nearby marine waters. Males of this species can reach a length of 41 cm (16 in), while females grow to 39 cm (15 in). Most do not exceed 25 cm (9.8 in). A maximum weight of 1.2 kg (2.6 lb) has been recorded. This species is important to local commercial fisheries and is actively farmed.
Amietophrynus latifrons is a species of toad in the family Bufonidae. It is found in Cameroon, Republic of the Congo, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, possibly Angola, and possibly Nigeria. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests and subtropical or tropical moist montane forests. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Phrynobatrachus latifrons is a species of frog in the Phrynobatrachidae family. It is found in the West Africa from Senegal to northern Cameroon.
The white-fronted falconet, Bornean falconet, fauconnet de Bornéo, falconete de Borneo, or halconcito de Borneo is a species of bird of prey in the family Falconidae. It is endemic to Sabah on the island of Borneo. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forest and arable land. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Mugilogobius latifrons is a species of goby endemic to the Malili Lake system in central Sulawesi, Indonesia generally being found in extremely shallow waters. This species can reach a length of 4.7 centimetres (1.9 in) TL.
Calliphora latifrons is a species of blue bottle fly.
Mirosternus latifrons is a species of beetle in the family Ptinidae.
Terpnomyia latifrons is a species of ulidiid or picture-winged fly in the genus Terpnomyia of the family Ulidiidae.
Cervalces latifrons, the broad-fronted moose, was a large, moose-like deer of the holarctic regions of Europe and Asia dating from the Pleistocene epoch. It is believed to be the largest species of deer that ever existed, larger than its North American relative Cervalces scotti, Megaloceros, and the modern moose. This species is believed to have become extinct around 10,000 years ago.
Cervalces is an extinct deer genus that lived during the Pliocene and Pleistocene epochs. Cervalces gallicus, the ancestral species, lived in Europe from the Pliocene to the Pleistocene strata. Cervalces scotti, the stag-moose, lived in Pleistocene North America. Cervalces latifrons, the broad-fronted moose, and Cervalces carnutorum were found in Pleistocene Europe and Asia.
The blacktip poacher is a fish in the family Agonidae (poachers). It was described by Charles Henry Gilbert in 1890. It is a marine, deep water-dwelling fish which is known from British Columbia, Canada to Baja California, Mexico, in the eastern Pacific Ocean. It dwells at a depth range of 18–400 metres, and inhabits soft benthic sediments. Males can reach a maximum total length of 19 centimetres.
Gymnostylus is a genus of longhorn beetles of the subfamily Lamiinae, containing the following species:
Encephalartos latifrons is a species of cycad that is native to Eastern Cape province in South Africa at elevations of 200 and 600 meters.
Gymnostylus signatus is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by Per Olof Christopher Aurivillius in 1916. It is known from Ivory Coast, Cameroon, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
Microcentrum latifrons, the southwestern angle-wing katydid, is a species of phaneropterine katydid in the family Tettigoniidae. It is found in North America.
The Coquito sergeant, also knowns as the Coquito damsel, is a species of ray-finned fish, it is the only species in the monotypic genus Nexilosus which is classified in the family, Pomacentridae, the clownfishes and damselfishes. It is found on rocky coasts in the eastern Pacific Ocean off Peru and northern Chile, as well as the Galapagos Islands.
