Phytoecia geniculata is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by Mulsant in 1862. It has a wide distribution between Europe and the Middle East. [1]
Staphylinoidea is a superfamily of beetles. It is a very large and diverse group with worldwide distribution.
Pentatominae is a subfamily of Pentatomidae, a family of shield bugs. This subfamily is the largest one within the Pentatomidae, having 4937 species classified in 938 genera. Species in this subfamily are phytophages and several of them are considered agricultural pests. Some invasive pentatomines such as Halyomorpha halys and Bagrada hilaris have been considered household pests. Higher systematics of the group have been revised by Rider et al.
Cantharis is a large genus of soldier beetles in the family Cantharidae with narrow and soft elytra.
Lepturinae, the lepturine beetles, is a subfamily of the longhorn beetle family (Cerambycidae), containing about 150 genera worldwide. This lineage is most diverse in the Northern Hemisphere. Until recently the subfamily Necydalinae was included within the lepturines, but this has been recently recognized as a separate subfamily. Nine tribes are usually recognized today, with a tenth, Caraphiini, created in 2016. A few genera are of uncertain placement within the subfamily.
Aphodius is a genus of beetles in the family Scarabaeidae. In most species both the adults and larvae are coprophagous although some species have herbivorous or saprophagous larvae. Aphodius species typically dominate dung beetle communities in north temperate ecosystems. Most species are functionally classified as endocoprids, also known as dwellers, because the larvae live and feed within the dung pat itself.
Melandryidae is a family of beetles in the superfamily Tenebrionoidea. Members of the family are found worldwide, with around 420 species in 60 genera. Larvae and adults are generally associated with rotting wood and wood-decomposing fungi.
Opsilia is a genus of beetles in the family Cerambycidae. It is listed as a subgenus of Phytoecia by some sources.
Mordellistena is a genus of beetles in the family Mordellidae, containing the following species:
Mordellinae is a subfamily of beetles commonly known as tumbling flower beetles for the typical irregular movements they make when escaping predators, or as pintail beetles due to their abdominal tip which aids them in performing these tumbling movements.
The Aleocharinae are one of the largest subfamilies of rove beetles, containing over 12,000 species. Previously subject to large-scale debate whether the subfamily deserved the familial status, it is now considered one of the largest subfamilies of rove beetles.
Saperdini is a tribe of longhorn beetles of the subfamily Lamiinae.
Mallosia, described by Étienne Mulsant in 1847, is a genus of longhorn beetles of the subfamily Lamiinae, tribe Saperdini. It is distributed in the Palearctic, from Greece to Caucasus and Iran.
Phytoecia is a genus of longhorn beetles of the subfamily Lamiinae,
Phytoecia wachanrui is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by Étienne Mulsant in 1851. It is known from Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, Iran, and Turkey.
Phytoecia gaubilii is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by Mulsant in 1851. It is known from Tunisia and Algeria.
Phytoecia tigrina is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by Étienne Mulsant in 1851. It is known from Hungary, Turkey, Bulgaria, Serbia, Romania, and Ukraine. It feeds on Cynoglottis barrelieri.
Phytoecia nigricornis is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by Johan Christian Fabricius in 1781, originally under the genus Saperda. It has a wide distribution throughout Europe. It measures between 8 and 13 mm. It feeds on Glebionis segetum, Solidago virgaurea, Artemisia campestris, Artemisia absinthium, Artemisia vulgaris, Artemisia sieversiana, Leucanthemum vulgare, and Tanacetum vulgare.
Phytoecia humeralis is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by Waltl in 1838, originally under the genus Saperda. It is known from Palestine, Greece, Georgia, Iran, Azerbaijan, Syria, Cyprus, and Turkey. It feeds on Silybum marianum.
Phytoecia icterica is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by Schaller in 1783, originally under the genus Saperda. It has a wide distribution between Europe and the Middle East. It feeds on Daucus carota sativus, Petroselinum crispum, Pastinaca sativa sativa, Pastinaca sativa, Conium maculatum, and Pimpinella saxifraga.
