Orthrius is a genus of beetles in the subfamily Clerinae.
Over fifty species are recognised in the genus Orthrius, including: [2] [3] [4]
Genus is a taxonomic rank above species and below family as used in the biological classification of living and fossil organisms as well as viruses. In binomial nomenclature, the genus name forms the first part of the binomial species name for each species within the genus.
John Obadiah Westwood was an English entomologist and archaeologist also noted for his artistic talents. He published several illustrated works on insects and antiquities. He was among the first entomologists with an academic position at Oxford University. He was a natural theologian, staunchly anti-Darwinian, and sometimes adopted a quinarian viewpoint. Although he never travelled widely, he described species from around the world on the basis of specimens, especially of the larger, curious, and colourful species, obtained by naturalists and collectors in England.
Spalgis epius, commonly known as the apefly, is a small species of butterfly found in the Indomalayan realm that belongs to the lycaenids or blues family. It gets its name from the supposed resemblance of its pupa to the face of an ape.
The pale-footed bush warbler is a species of oriental warbler in the family Cettiidae that is found in southern Asia. It occurs in the Himalayan region west from Dehradun through the foothills of Nepal to northeastern India. It also occurs in Myanmar, Laos, northern Vietnam and southern China. A single sighting was recorded from Kandy, Sri Lanka in March 1993.
Erotylidae, or the pleasing fungus beetles, is a family of beetles belonging to Cucujoidea containing over 100 genera. In the present circumscription, it contains 6 tribes and 10 subfamilies. In other words, the narrowly circumscribed Erotylidae correspond to the subfamily Erotylinae in the definition sensu lato. There are doubts on the monophyly of lower ranked taxa within Erotylidae, with further phylogenetic studies requiring better sampling and studies of unexplored character sets, for example the metendosternite and penile flagellum, which are generally lacking detailed morphological studies within the Coleoptera literature. The Eroytlina taxonomy is based on traits such as their different colors and not off morphological differences like mouthparts, thorax, and abdominal terminalia (Pecci-Maddalena).
Athyma asura, also known as the studded sergeant or the Himalayan studded sergeant, is a species of large, tailess nymphalid butterfly found in tropical and in subtropical regions of Asia. It lives on rocks and stream habitats. The species primary coloration is black, white and brown. This species is protected in India under Schedule II of the Wildlife (Protection) act of 1972. A. asura has two subspecies, Athyma asura asura and Athyma asura idita.
Abareia is a monotypic moth genus belonging to the family Pyralidae. It was described by Paul E. S. Whalley in 1970. It contains only one species, Abareia amaurodes, described by Alfred Jefferis Turner in 1947, which is found in Australia.
Parindjapyx is a genus of diplurans in the family Japygidae. It contains 11 named species.
Panopinae is a subfamily of small-headed flies (Acroceridae). Their larvae are endoparasites of spiders in the infraorder Mygalomorphae.
Enoclerus is a genus of checkered beetles in the subfamily Clerinae.
Tenerus is a genus of checkered beetles in the subfamily Enopliinae, found in Asia, Africa, and Australia.
Ogcodes is a cosmopolitan genus of small-headed flies in the family Acroceridae. About 90 species have been described for the genus. It is the most common and speciose genus in its family. These flies are endoparasitoids of ground-dwelling entelegyne spiders.
Amphorophora is a genus of aphids belonging to the family Aphididae.
Hylocomium is a genus of mosses belonging to the family Hylocomiaceae.
Neaporia is a genus of beetles belonging to the family Coccinellidae.
Stenotarsus russatus, is a species of handsome fungus beetle found in India and Sri Lanka.
Coptocercus crucigerus is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae, first described by Frederick William Hope in 1842 as Stenochorus cruciger, from a specimen collected in Port Essington (Darwin). In 1929, Herbert James Carter assigned the species to the genus Coptocercus, and also synonymised it with Phoracantha politaPascoe, 1863.
Actinote rufina is a species of butterfly of the genus Actinote. The species is endemic to Peru, and has been sparsely documented in mountains west of the Madre de Dios River in Bolivia.
