Stenomax is a genus of darkling beetles (insects belonging to the family Tenebrionidae) in the subfamily Tenebrioninae. [1]
Martial Étienne Mulsant was a French entomologist and ornithologist.
Hippodamia is a genus of ladybirds in the family Coccinellidae. It includes the most common native North American "ladybug", H. convergens, which can form overwintering aggregations numbering in the millions. Another notable member is Hippodamia variegata, which occurs widely over both the North and South Hemispheres.
Lamiinae, commonly called flat-faced longhorns, are a subfamily of the longhorn beetle family (Cerambycidae). The subfamily includes over 750 genera, rivaled in diversity within the family only by the subfamily Cerambycinae.
Cerambycinae is a subfamily of the longhorn beetle family (Cerambycidae). The subfamily has a world-wide distribution including: Asia, Europe and the Americas. Within the family, the only subfamily of comparable diversity is the Lamiinae.
Melyridae are a family of beetles of the superfamily Cleroidea.
Endomychidae, or handsome fungus beetles, is a family of beetles with representatives found in all biogeographic realms. There are around 120 genera and 1300 species. The family was established based on the type genus Endomychus, a genus erected in 1795 by Panzer which was applied to a species that Linnaeus called Chrysomela coccinea. As the common name suggests, Endomychidae feed on fungi. Crowson, in his influential treatment of the beetles, placed the family within the Cucujoidea. They have a tarsal formal of 4-4-4 or 3-3-3 and the wings lack a closed radial cell. The second antennal segment has a sensory appendage that is as long as the third antennal segment. The family has also been grouped with the Coccinellidae in a group called the Trimera for having pseudotrimerous tarsi. A 2015 molecular phylogeny study found that the Cucujoidea were found to be non-monophyletic and the Endomychidae was refined with the removal of the Anamorphinae from within the family and elevated to the status of a full family, Anamorphidae. Mycetaeinae and Eupsilobiinae were also found not to belong within the clades of the core Endomychidae, and likewise reclassified into the families Mycetaeidae and Eupsilobiidae.
The Mordellidae are a family of beetles commonly known as tumbling flower beetles for the typical irregular movements they make when escaping predators, or as pintail beetles due to their abdominal tip which aids them in performing these tumbling movements. Worldwide, there are about 1500 species.
Aphodius is a genus of beetles in the family Scarabaeidae. In most species both the adults and larvae are coprophagous although some species have herbivorous or saprophagous larvae. Aphodius species typically dominate dung beetle communities in north temperate ecosystems. Most species are functionally classified as endocoprids, also known as dwellers, because the larvae live and feed within the dung pat itself.
Salpingidae or narrow-waisted bark beetles is a family of beetles, in the large suborder Polyphaga. The species are small, about 1.5 – 7 mm in length. This family is worldwide distributed and consists of about 45 genera and 300 species.
Saphanini is a tribe of beetles in the subfamily Spondylidinae.
Mordellinae is a subfamily of beetles commonly known as tumbling flower beetles for the typical irregular movements they make when escaping predators, or as pintail beetles due to their abdominal tip which aids them in performing these tumbling movements.
Nephus is a genus of lady beetles in the family Coccinellidae. There are more than 25 described species in Nephus. Several former species are now in the genus Scymnobius.
Saperdini is a tribe of longhorn beetles of the subfamily Lamiinae.
Phytoecia is a genus of longhorn beetles of the subfamily Lamiinae,
Podopinae, known as turtle bugs, are a subfamily of the insect family Pentatomidae. The type genus is Podops.
Limnichidae, commonly called minute marsh-loving beetles, is a beetle family in the order Coleoptera. There are at least 30 genera and 350 described species in Limnichidae.
Malachiini is a large tribe of soft-winged flower beetles in the family Melyridae.
Dendarus is a genus of darkling beetles in the family Tenebrionidae. The genus is distributed from Morocco to Caucasus and exhibits a high level of diversity with 36 species, 27 of which are island endemics. Analyses of the phylogenetic relationships of 23 species from Greece and Turkey revealed 13 distinct lineages with several para- and polyphyletic cases corresponding to three major phylogroups [south/south-east Aegean ; central to north Aegean, Turkey and mainland Greece and mainland Greece ].
Dendarini is a tribe of darkling beetles in the family Tenebrionidae. There are more than 30 genera in Dendarini.
