Heterelmis obesa is a species of riffle beetle in the family Elmidae. It is found in Central America, North America, and South America. [1] [2] [3]
These two subspecies belong to the species Heterelmis obesa:
Heterelmis comalensis is a rare species of beetle known by the common name Comal Springs riffle beetle. It is endemic to Texas in the United States, where it occurs in only two springs. It is a federally listed endangered species of the United States.
Elmidae, commonly known as riffle beetles, is a family of beetles in the superfamily Byrrhoidea described by John Curtis in 1830. Both adults and larvae are usually aquatic, living under rocks in fast-flowing shallow areas of streams, such as riffles, feeding on algae and biofilms. There are more than 150 genera and 1,500 described species in Elmidae. The oldest record of the group is Cretohypsilara from the Cenomanian aged Burmese amber.
Heterelmis is a genus of beetles in the riffle beetle family Elmidae.
Heterelmis stephani was a rare species of aquatic beetle known by the common name Stephan's riffle beetle. It was endemic to Arizona in the United States, where it occurred in the Santa Rita Mountains before being declared presumed extinct. It was brown in color with small black dots on its wings.
Elminae is a subfamily of riffle beetles in the family Elmidae. There are at least 120 genera and more than 1,300 described species in Elminae.
Elmini is a tribe of riffle beetles in the family Elmidae. There are more than 90 genera and 1,200 described species in North America.
Heterelmis obscura is a species of riffle beetle in the family Elmidae. It is found in Central America and South America.
Stenelmis bicarinata is a species of riffle beetle in the family Elmidae. It is found in Central America and North America.
Heterelmis vulnerata is a species of riffle beetle in the family Elmidae. It is found in Central America and North America.
Stenelmis lignicola is a species of riffle beetle in the family Elmidae. It is found in North America.
Macrelmis shoemakei is a species of riffle beetle in the family Elmidae. It is found in Central America and North America.
Heterelmis glabra is a species of riffle beetle in the family Elmidae. It is found in Central America and North America. The largest populations of this riffle beetle are found in springs associated with the upper Devils River in south-central Texas. Spring-adapted organisms such as this beetle have life-history patterns requiring surface components, which makes them more vulnerable to changes in spring flow that alter the surface habitat.
Stenelmis cheryl, or Cheryl's riffle beetle, is a species of riffle beetle in the family Elmidae. It is found in Central America and North America.
Optioservus quadrimaculatus is a species of riffle beetle in the family Elmidae. It is found in North America.
Optioservus ovalis is a species of riffle beetle in the family Elmidae. It is found in North America.
Ampumixis is a genus of riffle beetles in the family Elmidae. There is one described species in Ampumixis, A. dispar.
Cleptelmis is a genus of riffle beetles in the family Elmidae. There are at least two described species in Cleptelmis.
Stenelmis sandersoni is a species of riffle beetle in the family Elmidae. It is found in North America.
Huleechius is a genus of riffle beetles in the family Elmidae. There are at least two described species in Huleechius.
Mozena obesa is a species of leaf-footed bug in the family Coreidae. It is found in North America.
