Parablacinae is a subfamily of click beetles in the family Elateridae. There are about eight genera in Parablacinae. [1] [2] [3]
These eight genera belong to the subfamily Parablacinae:
Pyrophorus is a genus of click beetle. They are one of several genera in the tribe Pyrophorini, all of which are bioluminescent. Their bioluminescence is similar to that of another group of beetles, the fireflies, although click beetles do not flash, but remain constantly glowing. They have two luminescent spots at the posterior corners of the pronotum, and another brighter light organ on the most-anterior surface of the ventral abdomen. This light organ is even brighter and can only be seen when in flight. Bioluminescent click beetles are found throughout tropical, subtropical and temperate America. Species from Texas, Florida, Puerto Rico, and Cuba are now in different genera in the tribe Pyrophorini, such as Deilelater and Ignelater.
Trechinae is a subfamily of ground beetles in the family Carabidae. There are 6 tribes, more than 430 genera, and over 6,700 described species in Trechinae.
Monocrepidius is a genus of click beetles in the family Elateridae. The genus has often been cited as Conoderus, but of the two names for this genus published simultaneously in 1829, the one selected by the First Reviser under the ICZN was Monocrepidius, rendering Conoderus the junior synonym.
Agrypnini is a tribe of click beetles in the family Elateridae.
Agrypninae is a subfamily of click beetles in the family Elateridae. There are at least 130 genera and more than 430 described species in Agrypninae.
Oxynopterini is a tribe of click beetles in the subfamily Dendrometrinae.
Negastriinae is a subfamily of click beetles in the family Elateridae.
The Pyrophorini are a New World taxonomic tribe within the Elateridae subfamily Agrypninae. Pyrophorini is a tribe of bioluminescent beetles, and includes such genera as Pyrophorus and Ignelater.
The Euplinthini form an accepted taxonomic tribe within the Elateridae subfamily Agrypninae.
The Oophorini form an accepted taxonomic tribe within the Elateridae subfamily Agrypninae.
Campyloxenus is a bioluminescent genus of click beetles in the family Elateridae, and had been the sole member of the subfamily Campyloxeninae, until another monotypic genus Malalcahuello was described from Chile in 2015 as its new member. There is one described species in Campyloxenus, Campyloxenus pyrothorax, from southwestern Chile and Argentina.
Hemiopinae is a subfamily of click beetles in the family Elateridae. There are at least four genera in Hemiopinae.
Lissominae is a subfamily of click beetles in the family Elateridae. There are about 11 genera in Lissominae.
Oestodinae is a subfamily of click beetles in the family Elateridae. There are at least two genera in Oestodinae.
Physodactylinae is a subfamily of click beetles in the family Elateridae. There are at least two genera in Physodactylinae.
Pityobiinae is a subfamily of click beetles in the family Elateridae. There are at least two genera and two described species in Pityobiinae.
Subprotelater is a genus of click beetles in the family Elateridae, the sole genus of the subfamily Subprotelaterinae. There are at least two described species in Subprotelater.
Tetralobinae is a subfamily of click beetles in the family Elateridae. There are about 7 genera and more than 20 described species in Tetralobinae.
Aeolus is a genus of click beetles in the family Elateridae. There are more than 220 described species in Aeolus, found throughout the world.
Anaissini is a tribe of click beetles in the family Elateridae.
