Niphoparmena gracilis (Breuning, 1940) | |
Niphoparmena gracilis is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by Stephan von Breuning in 1940. [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 gracilis muscle is the most superficial muscle on the medial side of the thigh. It is thin and flattened, broad above, narrow and tapering below.
Nepenthes gracilis, or the slender pitcher-plant, is a common lowland pitcher plant that is widespread in the Sunda region. It has been recorded from Borneo, Cambodia, Peninsular Malaysia, Singapore, Sulawesi, Sumatra, and Thailand. The species has a wide altitudinal distribution of 0 to 1100 m above sea level, although most populations are found below 100 m and plants are rare above 1000 m. Despite being a widespread plant, natural hybrids between N. gracilis and other species are quite rare.
Nepenthes × cantleyi is a natural hybrid involving N. bicalcarata and N. gracilis. It is quite rare outside Brunei, despite its parent species being more widespread throughout Borneo.
The Field Elm cultivar Ulmus minor 'Umbraculifera Gracilis' was obtained as a sport of 'Umbraculifera' by the Späth nursery of Berlin c.1897. It was marketed by the Späth nursery in the early 20th century, and by the Hesse Nursery of Weener, Germany, in the 1930s.
The slender yellow bat is a species of vesper bat. It is found only in Mexico.
The Talamancan small-eared shrew is a species of mammal in the family Soricidae. It is found in Costa Rica and Panama.
The gracile shrew mole is a species of mammal in the family Talpidae. It is found in China and Myanmar.
Citrus gracilis, the Humpty Doo Lime or Kakadu Lime, is a straggly shrub endemic to eucalypt savannah woodlands of Northern Territory, Australia.
Niphoparmena is a genus of longhorn beetles of the subfamily Lamiinae, containing the following species:
The Field Elm cultivar Ulmus minor 'Viminalis Gracilis' [:'slender'] is a form of U. minor 'Viminalis'. Cultivars listed as Ulmus gracilisHort. by Kirchner (1864), and as U. scabra viminalis gracilisHort. by Dieck (1885), were considered by Green to be forms of Melville's U. × viminalis. A 1929 herbarium specimen held at the Hortus Botanicus Leiden is labelled U. campestris var. viminalis f. gracilis, implying a cultivar that differed from the 'type' tree.
