Hemipeplus is a genus of beetles in the family Mycteridae. There are 57 described species in Hemipeplus. [1] [2] [3]
The following species are included in the genus Hemipeplus: [4]
The family Mycteridae is a small group of tenebrionoid beetles with no vernacular common name, though recent authors have coined the name palm and flower beetles. The family Mycteridae is distributed worldwide. There are about 30 genera and 160 species in three subfamilies Mycterinae, Hemipeplinae and Lacconotinae (=Eurypinae). These 3 subfamilies are extremely diverse in appearance and are sometimes difficult to have a present diagnosis of the adults at the family level. About 20 species are found in Australia, species of three genera are found in North America The larvae are generally flattened and typically inhabit the spaces between leaves or the bases of fronds, where they appear to consume fungi.
The family Pythidae is a small group of tenebrionoid beetles with no vernacular common name, though recent authors have coined the name dead log bark beetles. There are seven genera, which are largely native to the mid-high latitude regions of the Northern Hemisphere and Australia, with one genus also present in the tropical Americas. The larvae are generally found with decaying vegetation and wood on which they feed, while adults are not associated with the larvae and are generally caught using malaise traps and light traps.
Hadrobregmus denticollis is a species of death-watch beetle in the family Anobiidae.
Hemicoelus canaliculatus is a species of death-watch beetle in the family Ptinidae.
Callirhipidae is a family of beetles, found widely throughout low-latitude regions except tropical Africa and Madagascar. There are around 175 species in 7 genera. The larvae bore into dead wood and generally have a life span of 2 or more years. The adults are generally nocturnal.
Byrrhinae is a subfamily of pill beetles in the family Byrrhidae. There are about 25 genera and at least 160 described species in Byrrhinae.
Cymatodera is a genus of checkered beetles in the family Cleridae. There are at least 70 described species in Cymatodera.
Epuraea terminalis is a species of sap-feeding beetles in the family Nitidulidae. It is found in Europe and Northern Asia and North America.
Hemipeplus chaos is a species of beetle in the family Mycteridae. It is found in Central America and North America. It is frequently found sheltered between blades of unopened Sabal palmetto fronds, although it is not known to cause any feeding damage to the plant.
Brachypeplus glaber is a species of sap-feeding beetle in the family Nitidulidae. It is found in North America.
Mycterus is a genus of palm and flower beetles in the family Mycteridae. There are about seven described species in Mycterus.
Xanthochroa is a genus of false blister beetles in the family Oedemeridae. There are about seven described species of Xanthochroa.
Eusphyrus eusphyroides is a species of fungus weevil in the family Anthribidae. It is found in North America.
Ditylus is a genus of false blister beetles in the family Oedemeridae. There are at least four described species in Ditylus.
Euparius marmoreus is a species of fungus weevil in the family of beetles known as Anthribidae. It is found in North America.
Hemipeplus marginipennis is a species of beetle in the family Mycteridae. It is found in the Caribbean Sea, Central America (Mexico), and North America. It was recently proposed as a junior synonym of Hemipeplus hemipterus Lacordaire, 1854.
Larainae is a subfamily of riffle beetles in the family Elmidae. There are more than 20 genera and 160 described species in Larainae.
Hemipeplus pollocki is a species of beetle in the family Mycteridae, subfamily Hemipeplinae. The species is known from Mexico, specifically the Sonora region, where it was collected at Nácori Chico at an elevation of 780m.
Hemipeplus saymyname is a species of beetle in the family Mycteridae, subfamily Hemipeplinae. It is known from Malaysia, specifically from Sabah, Borneo, where it was collected in the Keningau region and from Mt. Kinabalu.
Hemipeplus heisenbergi is a species of beetle in the family Mycteridae, subfamily Hemipeplinae. The species is known from New Guinea, specifically the Eastern Highlands Province, where it was collected at an elevation of 1600 m near Nondugl.
