The following species are recognised in the genus Prodontria: [1]
Peristoreus is a weevil genus native to New Zealand. This genus was first described in 1877 by Theodor Franz Wilhelm Kirsch.
Heywood Campbell Broun Jr. was an American journalist. He worked as a sportswriter, newspaper columnist, and editor in New York City. He founded the American Newspaper Guild, later known as The Newspaper Guild and now as The NewsGuild-CWA. Born in Brooklyn, New York, he is best remembered for his writing on social issues and his championing of the underdog. He believed that journalists could help right wrongs, especially social ills.
Colydiinae is a subfamily of beetles, commonly known as cylindrical bark beetles. They have been treated historically as a family Colydiidae, but have been moved into the Zopheridae, where they constitute the bulk of the diversity of the newly expanded family, with about 140 genera worldwide. They are diverse for example in the Australian region, from where about 35 genera are known; in Europe, though, only 20 genera are found and many of these only with few species.
Members of the Monoblepharidomycetes have a filamentous thallus that is either extensive or simple and unbranched. They frequently have a holdfast at the base. In contrast to other taxa in their phylum, some reproduce using autospores, although many do so through zoospores. Oogamous sexual reproduction may also occur.
The Cromwell chafer beetle is a species of flightless beetle in the family Scarabaeidae. It is found in just one spot in Central Otago, New Zealand, which is now a nature reserve.
Mecodema is a genus of large flightless ground beetle (Carabidae) endemic to New Zealand. The genus is very diverse in comparison to the other three New Zealand genera within the subtribe Nothobroscina. Mecodema is the only nothobroscine that is geographically widespread across both the North and South Islands, as well as numerous offshore islands, although a species of Diglymma is found in Wellington.
Chaetosomatidae is a small family of beetles, in the suborder Polyphaga.
The Chalcodryidae are a family of beetles in the large suborder Polyphaga.
Diglymma is a genus of beetles in the family Carabidae, containing the following species:
Notagonum is a genus of beetles in the family Carabidae, containing the following species:
Trechinae is a subfamily in the ground beetle family, Carabidae.
Oopterus is a genus of beetles in the family Carabidae, containing the following species:
Somatidia is a genus of longhorn beetles of the subfamily Lamiinae, containing the following species:
Didymus metrosideri is an endemic weevil from the Kermadec Islands in New Zealand. This species was discovered by W. L. Wallace during the 1908 Kermedec Islands expedition.
Frank Tyndall Broun was an Australian politician who was a member of the Legislative Assembly of Western Australia from 1911 to 1914 and again from 1917 to 1924. He was a minister in the first government of Sir James Mitchell.
Cyclaxyridae are a family of beetles in the superfamily Cucujoidea. The only living genus is Cyclaxyra, with two species endemic to New Zealand. Other species have been named from fossils. They are also known as sooty mould beetles due to the association of Cyclaxyra with sooty mould.
Eucolaspis is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is native to New Zealand, where it is a serious pest of apple trees and other fruit crops. The genus has also been reported from Fiji.
Mimopeus is a genus of darkling beetles in the family Tenebrionidae, first described by Pascoe in 1866.
Costelytra is a genus of beetles belonging to the family Scarabaeidae.
