Salpingus is a genus of beetles belonging to the family Salpingidae. [1]
The species of this genus are found in Europe. [1]
The following species are recognised in the genus Salpingus: [1]
Peristoreus is a weevil genus native to New Zealand. This genus was first described in 1877 by Theodor Franz Wilhelm Kirsch.
Prodontria is a genus of beetles in the family Scarabaeidae.
Xylotoles is a genus of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It contains several species, including Xylotoles costatus, once thought extinct. The longhorn beetles belonging to genus Xylotoles is classified as Endangered (EN) on the IUCN Red List.
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 geographically widespread across both the North and South Islands, as well as numerous offshore islands, including the Three Kings Is., Poor Knights Is., Aotea and Hauturu, Kapiti Is., Stephens Is., Stewart Is., Chatham Is., Snares Is.
The Lucanidae are a family of beetles that include the stag beetles. The family can be further subdivided in a taxonomy. The classification presented here follows Smith (2006), with the exception of the tribal classification within the Lucaninae.
Chaetosomatidae is a small family of beetles, in the superfamily Cleroidea. There are three extant genera, two of which are endemic to New Zealand with the other (Malgassochaetus) native to Madagascar. Members of this family are predaceous on wood-boring insects.
Cavognathidae is a family of beetles, in the superfamily Cucujoidea. It contains a single genus, Taphropiestes with around a dozen species known from South America, Australia and New Zealand. In Australian and New Zealand species adults and larvae have been found living in bird nests, but their ecology is unclear, but they are possibly scavengers.
The Chalcodryidae are a family of beetles in the superfamily Tenebrionoidea. It contains at least five species in two genera Chalcodrya and Philpottia, which are endemic to New Zealand. They are generally found associated with moss or lichen covered branches, with the larvae having been found to be associated with dead twigs. It is thought that they are noctural, feeding on lichen and other plant material at night. The genera Sirrhas and Onysius, formerly placed in this family, have subsequently been transferred to Promecheilidae.
Gaioxenus is a genus of beetles in the family Carabidae. Gaioxenus pilipalpis is the only species in the genus. This genus and species was first described by Thomas Broun in 1910. Broun based the descriptions on specimens he collected in Raurimu in the Manawatū-Whanganui region of New Zealand. Gaioxenus pilipalpis is endemic to New Zealand.
Holcaspis is a genus of beetles in the family Carabidae, endemic to New Zealand.
Megadromus is a genus in the beetle family Carabidae. There are at least 30 described species in Megadromus, found in New Zealand.
Oopterus is a genus in the beetle family Carabidae. There are more than 20 described species in Oopterus, found in New Zealand.
Corestheta is a genus of longhorn beetles of the subfamily Lamiinae, containing the following species:
Somatidia is a genus of longhorn beetles of the subfamily Lamiinae, containing the following species:
Hybolasius is a genus of longhorn beetles of the subfamily Lamiinae, containing the following species:
Corestheta elongata is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by Broun in 1883, originally under the genus Somatidia. It is known from New Zealand.
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. The extant species are mycophagous, feeding on spores, conidia, and hyphae.
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.
Didymocantha is a genus of longhorn beetles.
Amychus is a genus of beetles belonging to the family Elateridae. This genus is endemic to New Zealand.
