Sparrmannia is a genus of scarab beetles belonging to the subfamily Melolonthinae. Though the name was originally spelled as Sparmannia, a subsequent emendation of this spelling is in prevailing usage and therefore conserved under ICZN Article 23.9.1. [1]
Tiliaceae is a family of flowering plants. It is not a part of the APG, APG II and APG III classifications, being sunk in Malvaceae mostly as the subfamilies Tilioideae, Brownlowioideae and Grewioideae, but has an extensive historical record of use.
The Trichiini are a tribe of the scarab beetle family (Scarabaeidae), though historically they were often classified as a subfamily, Trichiinae. In Europe, the conspicuous bee beetles (Trichius) are probably the best-known genus of the tribe.
Flower chafers are a group of scarab beetles comprising the subfamily Cetoniinae. Many species are diurnal and visit flowers for pollen and nectar, or to browse on the petals. Some species also feed on fruit. The group is also called fruit and flower chafers, flower beetles and flower scarabs. There are around 4,000 species, many of them still undescribed.
Phyllophaga is a very large genus of New World scarab beetles in the subfamily Melolonthinae. Common names for this genus and many other related genera in the subfamily Melolonthinae are May beetles, June bugs, and July beetles. They range in size from 12 to 35 mm and are blackish or reddish-brown in colour, without prominent markings, and often rather hairy ventrally. These beetles are nocturnal, and are attracted to artificial lights in great numbers.
Melolonthinae is a subfamily of the scarab beetles. It is a very diverse group; distributed over most of the world, it contains over 11,000 species in over 750 genera. Some authors include the scarab subfamilies Euchirinae and Pachypodinae as tribes in the Melolonthinae.
Omorgus is a genus of beetles of the family Trogidae with about 140 species worldwide. Omorgus beetles are generally between 9 and 20 mm long.
Caccobius is a genus of Scarabaeidae or scarab beetles.
Macrocheilus is a genus of beetles in the family Carabidae, found in Africa and Asia.
Dromica is a genus in the beetle family Cicindelidae. There are at least 190 described species in Dromica, found in Africa.
Monkey beetles are scarab beetles, a group of around 70 genera and 850 described species within the tribe Hopliini. The placement of this tribe within the family Scarabaeidae is uncertain between Melolonthinae and Rutelinae. Many species visit flowers for pollen and nectar, or browse on the petals. The beetles are important pollinators of Aizoaceae and Asteraceae in grazed and ungrazed areas, as well as many others.
Abacetus is a genus of beetles in the family Carabidae, distributed across Africa, Asia and Australia, with a single European species. It contains the following species:
Scelophysa trimeni, commonly known as the blue monkey beetle, is a species of scarab beetles in the tribe Hopliini, subfamily Melolonthinae.
Sericini is a tribe of scarab beetles in the family Scarabaeidae. There are at least 100 described species in Sericini. Members of this tribe can be identified using their mouthparts, specifically their three-jointed labium and asymmetric maxillae.
Stenochiinae is a subfamily of darkling beetles in the family Tenebrionidae. There are more than 390 genera in Stenochiinae.
Thyce is a genus of May beetles and junebugs in the family Scarabaeidae. There are at least two described species in Thyce.
Amblonoxia is a genus of dusty June beetles in the family Scarabaeidae. There are six described species in Amblonoxia.
Gronocarus is a genus of May beetles and junebugs in the family Scarabaeidae. There are at least three described species in Gronocarus.
Sparrmannia is an African genus of plants in the family Malvaceae.
