Serixia cephalotes is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by Francis Polkinghorne Pascoe in 1862. [1]
Gliding ants are arboreal ants of several different genera that are able to control the direction of their descent when falling from a tree. Living in the rainforest canopy like many other gliders, gliding ants use their gliding to return to the trunk of the tree they live on should they fall or be knocked off a branch. Gliding was first discovered for Cephalotes atratus in the Peruvian rainforest.
Cephalotes is a genus of tree-dwelling ant species from the Americas, commonly known as turtle ants. All appear to be gliding ants, with the ability to "parachute" and steer their fall so as to land back on the tree trunk rather than fall to the ground, which is often flooded.
The pale-edged flycatcher is a species of bird in the family Tyrannidae. It is found in Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Venezuela. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist montane forests and heavily degraded former forest.
Pallas's tube-nosed bat, also known as the Torresian tube-nosed bat or northern tube-nosed bat, is a species of megabat in the Nyctimene genus found in Indonesia. Its range may extend to New Guinea, but sightings may be attributable to misidentification. Its range may at one time also have extended to Timor, but was extirpated due to habitat loss.
Keast's tube-nosed fruit bat is a species of megabat in the family Pteropodidae found in Babar, Tanimbar, and the Kai Islands. It was named after Colin Keast.
Cephalotes atratus is a species of arboreal ant in the genus Cephalotes, a genus characterized by its odd shaped head. These ants are known as gliding ants because of their ability to "parachute" by steering their fall if they lose their footing.
Atta cephalotes is a species of leafcutter ant in the tribe Attini. A single colony of ants can contain up to 5 million members, and each colony has one queen that can live more than 15 years. The colony comprises different castes, known as "task partitioning", and each caste has a different job to do.
Cephalotes alveolatus is an extinct species of ant in the subfamily Myrmicinae known from a single Middle Miocene fossil found in amber on Hispaniola. At the time of description C. alveolatus was one of seven fossil ant species placed in the Cephalotescoffeae clade.
Cephalotes caribicus is an extinct species of ant in the subfamily Myrmicinae known from two Middle Miocene fossils found in amber on Hispaniola. At the time of description C. caribicus was one of nine ant species placed in the Cephalotespinelii clade.
Cephalotes dieteri is an extinct species of ant in the subfamily Myrmicinae known from two Middle Miocene fossils found in amber on Hispaniola. At the time of description, C. dieteri was one of seven fossil ant species placed in the Cephalotescoffeae clade.
Dorsifulcrum cephalotes is a moth of the family Geometridae first described by Francis Walker in 1869. It is found in Angola, Cameroon, the Central African Republic, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Gabon, Ghana, Guinea, Ivory Coast, Nigeria and Rwanda.
Serixia is a genus of longhorn beetles of the subfamily Lamiinae, containing the following species:

Serixia novaebritanniae is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by Stephan von Breuning in 1958.
Serixia longicornis is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by Francis Polkinghorne Pascoe in 1858.
Serixia prolata is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by Francis Polkinghorne Pascoe in 1858.
Serixia sedata is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by Francis Polkinghorne Pascoe in 1862.
Serixia phaeoptera is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by Per Olof Christopher Aurivillius in 1927.
Serixia nigroapicalis is a species of long horn beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by Per Olof Christopher Aurivillius in 1927. This species is also part of the genus Serixia, order Coleoptera, class Insecta, phylum Arthropoda, and kingdom Animalia. These beetles can drill into wood and cause damage to live wood.
