Pedetes (disambiguation)

Last updated May 01, 2019

Pedetes primarily refers to Pedetes Illiger, 1811, the genus of the two extant springhare species.

The term has also been proposed for three beetle genera, but is relegated to junior synonym status:

Pedetes Creutzer, 1799, a manuscript name and a synonym of Orchestes , a genus of weevils
Pedetes Kirby, 1837, a synonym of Agriotes , a genus of click beetles
Pedetes Faust, 1894, replaced with Pedetinus Faust, 1895, a genus of Central and South American weevils

Orchestes is a genus of beetles either classified in the subfamily Rhynchaeninae or in the tribe Rhamphini of the subfamily Curculioninae, of the family Curculionidae. It encompasses six species in North America, including Orchestes alni, and more in Eurasia. It was previously regarded as a synonym of Rhynchaenus, which is now used with a more restricted definition. The name Pedetes has been used as a manuscript name for this genus around 1799, but not published as a valid name.

Agriotes is a genus of beetles in the family Elateridae which includes numerous species, many of which are found in the Americas, Asia and much of Europe.
