Pygopleurus vulpes is a species of beetles from the Glaphyridae family. [1]
Pygopleurus vulpes can reach a length of 12–14 millimetres (0.47–0.55 in). [2] The males of these beetles are completely covered by long hairs. They do not show variability of integuments and setae, but their color ranges from the common straw-yellow color to reddish and dark orange color. [3] In the females the pronotum is greenish and the brown elytrae remain visible. [4]
This species is present in Albania, Bulgaria, Greece, North Macedonia, Romania, Russia and Ukraine. [5]
Johan Christian Fabricius was a Danish zoologist, specialising in "Insecta", which at that time included all arthropods: insects, arachnids, crustaceans and others. He was a student of Carl Linnaeus, and is considered one of the most important entomologists of the 18th century, having named nearly 10,000 species of animals, and established the basis for the modern insect classification.
