Nalassus is a genus of darkling beetles in the family Tenebrionidae. There are more than 70 described species in Nalassus, in the Palearctic and North America. [1] [2]
These 71 species belong to the genus Nalassus:
Dermestes is a genus of beetles in the family Dermestidae, the skin beetles. The genus is distributed worldwide.
Carabus is a genus of beetles in the family Carabidae. The genus is highly diverse with 94 subgenera, 959 species and 2300 subspecies, thus is the largest genus in the subfamily Carabinae. The vast majority are native to the Palearctic, but 16 Nearctic species are also known. Carabus spp. are 12–50 mm (0.47–1.97 in) long, and most species are wingless and often very colourful. These are nocturnal, predatory beetles that feed on snails, earthworms, and caterpillars. Most Carabus species were thought to have inhabited the Eurasian forest, but the species' low dispersal abilities altered the distribution of lineages within the genus.
Harpalus is a genus of ground beetle first described by Pierre André Latreille in 1802.
Galeruca is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Galerucinae. It is distributed in the Palaearctic and Nearctic realms. In Turkey, the genus is represented by 10 species.
Gonocephalum is an Old World genus of darkling beetles in the family Tenebrionidae, containing over 400 species.
Dorcadion is a genus of longhorn beetles of the subfamily Lamiinae.
Phytoecia is a genus of longhorn beetles of the subfamily Lamiinae,
Aphodiini is a tribe of aphodiine dung beetles in the family Scarabaeidae. There are more than 250 genera and 2,200 described species in Aphodiini.
Mycetochara is a genus of comb-clawed beetles in the family Tenebrionidae. There are at least 30 described species in Mycetochara.
Helopini is a tribe of darkling beetles in the family Tenebrionidae. There are at least 50 genera in Helopini.
Omophlus is a genus of comb-clawed beetles belonging to the family Tenebrionidae subfamily Alleculinae.
Dendarus is a genus of darkling beetles in the family Tenebrionidae. The genus is distributed from Morocco to Caucasus and exhibits a high level of diversity with 36 species, 27 of which are island endemics. Analyses of the phylogenetic relationships of 23 species from Greece and Turkey revealed 13 distinct lineages with several para- and polyphyletic cases corresponding to three major phylogroups [south/south-east Aegean ; central to north Aegean, Turkey and mainland Greece and mainland Greece ].
Palorini is a tribe of darkling beetles in the family Tenebrionidae. There are about 12 genera in Palorini.
