Pedinorrhina cinctuta is a beetle belonging to the family Scarabaeidae. [1]
This species was placed into the genus Pedinorrhina by Holm in 1994, [1] but most subsequent authors (e.g. [2] ) place it in the genus Chondrorrhina instead.
Pedinorrhina cinctuta can reach a length of 22–25 millimetres (0.87–0.98 in). The basic colour is dark green, with a transversal orange band on the elytra.
This species can be found in the Afrotropical region (mainly in Cameroon, Democratic Republic of Congo, Ivory Coast, Tanzania and Uganda).
The family Scarabaeidae, as currently defined, consists of over 35,000 species of beetles worldwide; they are often called scarabs or scarab beetles. The classification of this family has undergone significant change in recent years. Several groups formerly treated as subfamilies have been elevated to family rank, and some reduced to lower ranks. The subfamilies listed in this article are in accordance with those in Catalog of Life (2023).
Euphoria is a genus of scarab beetles in the subfamily Cetoniinae, the flower or fruit chafers. They are native to the Americas, where they are distributed from Canada to Argentina. They are most diverse in Mexico and Central America. As of 2012, there are 59 species in the genus.
Flower chafers are a group of scarab beetles comprising the subfamily Cetoniinae. Many species are diurnal and visit flowers for pollen and nectar, or to browse on the petals. Some species also feed on fruit. The group is also called fruit and flower chafers, flower beetles and flower scarabs. There are around 4,000 species, many of them still undescribed.
Goliathus orientalis is a species of beetles belonging to the family Scarabaeidae.
Pseudochalcothea auripes is a beetle of the family Scarabaeidae and subfamily Cetoniinae.
Blaesia atra is a beetle of the family Scarabaeidae and subfamily Cetoniinae.
Pseudochalcothea virens is a species of beetles of the family Scarabaeidae and subfamily Cetoniinae.
Rhabdotis albinigra is a species of Scarabaeidae, the dung beetle family. It was described by Hermann Burmeister in 1847.
Trichostetha is a genus of beetle in the scarab beetle family. It is endemic to southern Africa, and its species most commonly occur in mountainous terrain. The genus includes several species that have only recently been described, as well as many species lacking a description of any of the larval stages. Except for T. fascicularis and its subspecies, the species comprising Trichostetha have small ranges of distribution, frequently in the Cape Floral Region of South Africa. The genus is believed to be related to Odontorrhina.
Hoplopyga brasiliensis is a species of beetles of the family Scarabaeidae.
Chondrorrhina plana is a beetle belonging to the family Scarabaeidae.
Inca clathratus is a species of flower chafer in the family Scarabaeidae, indigenous to Central and South America. These beetles can be seen surrounding the sap flows from injured or diseased trees anytime in the day and sometimes at night. They mostly feed at the sap flows of the trees, including avocado and mango trees. Like other beetles they also feed off of rotting fruit. There are a few different subspecies of Inca clathratus including: Inca clathratus sommeri, Inca clathratus clathratus, and Inca clathratus quesneli. The species name has been frequently misspelled as "clathrata" but the genus name Inca is masculine.
Chondrorrhina is a genus of fruit and flower chafers belonging to the family Scarabaeidae, subfamily Cetoniinae, found in Africa.
Inca is a genus of beetles belonging to the family Scarabaeidae.
Euphoria herbacea is a species of scarab beetle in the subfamily Cetoniinae. It is 15–16 millimetres (0.59–0.63 in) long and is olive-green in color. It is native to the United States, primarily in the central plains and the east of the Mississippi River.
Euphoria sepulcralis, the dark flower scarab, is a species of scarab beetle in the subfamily Cetoniinae. It is 9–11 millimetres (0.35–0.43 in) long and is brown in color. It is found in North America in countries such as Mexico and southern and Central United States.
Rhinocoeta is a genus of colorful beetles belonging to the subfamily Cetoniinae, family Scarabaeidae.
