Phoberus caffer is a species of hide beetle in the subfamily Troginae. [1] [2]
Trogidae, sometimes called hide beetles, is a family of beetles with a distinctive warty or bumpy appearance. Found worldwide, the family includes about 300 species contained in four or five genera.
Mus mayori is a species of rodent in the genus Mus, the mice. Its common names include Mayor's mouse, highland rat, and spiny mouse. It is endemic to Sri Lanka.
Troginae is a subfamily of beetles in the family Trogidae which includes extant species and extinct beetle species from the Lower Cretaceous. The subfamily contains the following genera:
Trox is a genus of hide beetle in the subfamily Troginae.
Acanthacaris is a genus of deep-water lobsters. It contains two species, A. caeca and A. tenuimana, and is the only genus in the subfamily Neophoberinae.
Phoberus rudebecki is a beetle of the family Trogidae.
Phoberus sulcatus is a beetle of the family Trogidae.
Phoberus capensis is a beetle of the family Trogidae.
Phoberus aculeatus is a species of hide beetle in the subfamily Troginae. The beetle species lives in South Africa.
Phoberus arcuatus is a species of hide beetle in the subfamily Troginae.
Phoberus is a genus of hide beetle in the subfamily Troginae. It was initially a subgenus of Trox before taxonomists reorganized it into its own genus. The genus is monophyletic, with all species evolved from a single common ancestor. Most beetle species in the genus live in Africa.
Phoberus braacki is a species of hide beetle in the subfamily Troginae.
Phoberus brincki is a species of hide beetle in the subfamily Troginae.
Phoberus consimilis is a species of hide beetle in the subfamily Troginae.
Phoberus elmariae is a species of hide beetle in the subfamily Troginae discovered by the scientists van de Merwe and Scholtz in 2005. Like with many other beetle species, P. elmariae has not been observed again after its discovery, so all knowledge of the species comes from the 16 individual beetles van de Merwe and Scholtz saw during fieldwork.
Phoberus fascicularis is a species of hide beetle in the subfamily Troginae.
