Prosternon is a genus of click beetles belonging to the family Elateridae.
Species within this genus include: [1]
Prosternon tessellatum, the chequered click beetle, is a species of click beetle belonging to the family Elateridae.
Pyrophorus is a genus of click beetle. They are one of several genera in the tribe Pyrophorini, all of which are bioluminescent. Their bioluminescence is similar to that of another group of beetles, the fireflies, although click beetles do not flash, but remain constantly glowing. They have two luminescent spots at the posterior corners of the pronotum, and another brighter spot in the dorsal region of the abdomen. This spot is even brighter and can only be seen when in flight. Bioluminescent click beetles are found throughout tropical, subtropical and temperate America. Species from Texas, Florida, and Cuba are now in different genera in the tribe Pyrophorini, such as Deilelater.
Phyllobius is a genus of weevils containing at least 60 described species, some of which are commonly found in Europe.
Denticollinae is a subfamily of beetle in the click beetle family. They occur in most regions of the world but are more abundant in cool temperate areas.
The cicada genus Platypleura occurs widely across Africa and southern Asia. Some of the South African species are remarkable for their endothermic thermoregulation that enables crepuscular signalling, an adaptation that reduces risk of predation and enables a greater range for their calls. In field experiments their maximum body temperature while calling at dusk, was measured at 22 °C above ambient temperature.
Anisodactylus is a genus of ground beetle native to the Palearctic, the Near East and North Africa. It contains the following species:
Pyrearinus is a genus of click beetle.
Xylotrechus a genus of longhorned beetles of the family Cerambycidae.
Epicauta is a genus of beetles in the blister beetle family, Meloidae. The genus was first scientifically described in 1834 by Pierre François Marie Auguste Dejean. Epicauta is distributed nearly worldwide, with species native to all continents except Australia. Surveys have found the genus to be particularly diverse in northern Arizona in the United States. Few species occur in the Arctic, with none farther north than the southern Northwest Territory of Canada.
Aleeta is a monotypic genus of cicada, containing A. curvicosta, found in Australia. Ernst Friedrich Germar originally described the species as C. curvicosta in 1834. In 2003, Maxwell Sydney Moulds proposed Aleeta as a separate, unispecific genus.
Hemicrepidius is a genus of click beetle belonging to the family Elateridae.
Liophloeus is a genus of weevils in the subfamily Entiminae.
Cardiorhinus is a genus of click betles in the subfamily Denticollinae.
Labidostomis is a genus of short-horned leaf beetles belonging to the family Chrysomelidae, subfamily Clytrinae.
Elater is a genus of click beetle belonging to the family Elateridae.
Plateumaris is a genus of aquatic leaf beetles in the family Chrysomelidae. There are about 17 described species in Plateumaris.
Germarostes is a genus of pill scarab beetles in the family Hybosoridae. There are at least 70 described species in Germarostes.
Dendrometrinae is a subfamily of click beetles in the family Elateridae, containing 10 tribes worldwide.
Prosternini is a tribe of click beetles in the family Elateridae. There are at least 20 genera and 90 described species in North America, and others elsewhere.
Ceratocanthus is a genus of pill scarab beetles in the family Hybosoridae. There are at least 50 described species in Ceratocanthus.
