Narpus is a genus of riffle beetles in the family Elmidae. There are at least three described species in Narpus, found in North America. [1] [2] [3] [4]
These three species belong to the genus Narpus:
The Phalacridae are a family of beetles commonly called the shining flower beetles, They are often found in composite flowers. They are oval-shaped, usually tan, and about 2 mm in length. Most species feed on fungus, although a number feed on flower heads.
Ant spiders are members of the family Zodariidae. They are small to medium-sized eight-eyed spiders found in all tropical and subtropical regions of South America, Africa, Madagascar, Australia-New Guinea, New Zealand, Arabia and the Indian subcontinent. Most species are daytime hunters and live together with ants, mimicking their behavior and sometimes even their chemical traits. Although little is known about most zodariids, members of the genus Zodarion apparently feed only on ants; a number of other genera in the family are apparently also ant specialists.
George Albert Boulenger was a Belgian-British zoologist who described and gave scientific names to over 2,000 new animal species, chiefly fish, reptiles, and amphibians. Boulenger was also an active botanist during the last 30 years of his life, especially in the study of roses.
Curculio is a genus of weevils belonging the family Curculionidae and subfamily Curculioninae. Members of the genus are commonly referred to as acorn weevils or nut weevils as they infest the seeds of trees such as oaks and hickories. The adult female weevil bores a tiny hole in the immature nut to lay her eggs, which then hatch into legless grubs. In autumn, the grubs bore holes through the shells from the inside to emerge into the soil where they may live for a year or two before maturing into adults.
Hawaiian honeycreepers are a group of small birds endemic to Hawaiʻi. They are members of the finch family Fringillidae, closely related to the rosefinches (Carpodacus), but many species have evolved features unlike those present in any other finch. Their great morphological diversity is the result of adaptive radiation in an insular environment. Many have been driven to extinction since the first humans arrived in Hawaii, with extinctions increasing over the last two centuries following European discovery of the islands, with habitat destruction and especially invasive species being the main causes.
Xylotrechus a genus of longhorned beetles of the family Cerambycidae, containing some 200 described species.
Ophryastini is a weevil tribe in the subfamily Entiminae. There are about 4 genera with 90 species in Ophryastini, found in North America, Asia, and Europe.
Narpus concolor is a species of riffle beetle in the family Elmidae. It is found in North America.
Geomysaprinus is a genus of clown beetles in the family Histeridae. There are at least 20 described species in Geomysaprinus.
Platysoma is a genus of clown beetles in the family Histeridae. There are more than 80 described species in Platysoma.
Leptusa is a genus of rove beetles in the family Staphylinidae. There are at least 20 described species in Leptusa.
Narpus angustus is a species of riffle beetle in the family Elmidae. It is found in North America.
Athetini is a tribe of rove beetles in the family Staphylinidae. There are at least 50 genera and 430 described species in Athetini.
Xerosaprinus is a genus of clown beetles in the family Histeridae. There are more than 20 described species in Xerosaprinus.
Plegaderus is a genus of clown beetles in the family Histeridae. There are more than 30 described species in Plegaderus.
Phelister is a genus of clown beetles in the family Histeridae. There are more than 90 described species in Phelister.
Idiostethus is a genus of flower weevils in the beetle family Curculionidae. There are at least 20 described species in Idiostethus.
Adenotrias is a section of flowering plants in the family Hypericaceae. It is made up of Hypericum aciferum, H. aegypticum, and H. russeggeri. When it was first described, it was considered its own independent genus, but was later placed under Hypericum and demoted to a section. Its Latin name Adenotrias is made of the Greek prefix adeno- and the Latin word trias. Species in the section are shrubs up to 2 metres (6.6 ft) tall with smooth leaves and bark, and are the only species in Hypericum with heterostylous flowers. They are found around the Mediterranean coast, with H. aciferum restricted to the island of Crete and H. russeggeri present only in parts of Turkey and Syria. Plants of the section have a habitat among limestone and other calcareous rocks. While H. aegypticum has a wide and generally secure distribution, H. aciferum was evaluated as endangered several times since the 1980s, although it is now considered only vulnerable because it is protected in part by a plant micro-reserve near Agia Roumeli.
Thecturota is a genus of beetles belonging to the family Staphylinidae.
Trichiusa is a genus of rove beetles in the family Staphylinidae. There are about 15 described species in Trichiusa, found in North America and Europe.
