Sybra sumatrana Breuning, 1939 | |
Sybra sumatrana is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by Breuning in 1939. [1]
Beetles are a group of insects that form the order Coleoptera, in the superorder Endopterygota. Their front pair of wings are hardened into wing-cases, elytra, distinguishing them from most other insects. The Coleoptera, with about 400,000 species, is the largest of all orders, constituting almost 40% of described insects and 25% of all known animal life-forms; new species are discovered frequently. The largest of all families, the Curculionidae (weevils) with some 80,000 member species, belongs to this order. Found in almost every habitat except the sea and the polar regions, they interact with their ecosystems in several ways: beetles often feed on plants and fungi, break down animal and plant debris, and eat other invertebrates. Some species are serious agricultural pests, such as the Colorado potato beetle, while others such as Coccinellidae eat aphids, scale insects, thrips, and other plant-sucking insects that damage crops.
Stephan von Breuning was an Austrian entomologist who specialised in Coleoptera, particularly Cerambycidae.
The Sumatran water shrew is a red-toothed shrew found only in the Padang highlands of western Sumatra, Indonesia. Its natural habitats are streams in montane forests. The species is only known from a holotype, which is damaged, and was previously listed as critically endangered by IUCN. It is believed to be severely threatened by habitat loss.
Nepenthes sumatrana is a tropical pitcher plant endemic to the Indonesian island of Sumatra, after which it is named.
Nepenthes longifolia is a tropical pitcher plant endemic to Sumatra, where it grows at elevations of between 300 and 1100 m above sea level. The specific epithet longifolia, formed from the Latin words longus (long) and folius (leaf), refers to the exceptionally large leaves of this species.
Nepenthes beccariana is a tropical pitcher plant. The species was described in 1908 by John Muirhead Macfarlane based on a specimen collected from the island of Nias, which lies off the western coast of Sumatra. It appears to be closely related to both N. longifolia and N. sumatrana, and the former is possibly a heterotypic synonym of this taxon.
The hairy-nosed otter is a semiaquatic mammal endemic to Southeast Asia and one of the rarest and least known otter species. It is threatened by loss of natural resources and poaching.
The great-billed heron is a wading bird of the heron family, resident from southeast Asia to Papua New Guinea and Australia.
Taxus sumatrana is an evergreen shrub and one of the eight species of the yew. It is found in a number of countries, including Afghanistan, Tibet, Nepal, Vietnam, India, Burma, Taiwan, and China, and is known both as the Taiwan yew and the Chinese yew. It is typically found at heights ranging from 400–3,100 m in subtropical forest and on highland ridges. It is a protected species in Taroko National Park in Taiwan.
The Sumatran puddle frog is a species of frog in the Dicroglossidae family. It might be endemic to Indonesia. However, it has often been confused with Occidozyga laevis, and was also for long considered to be its junior synonym.
The rufous-vented niltava is a species of bird in the family Muscicapidae. It is found in Sumatra and the Malay Peninsula. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist montane forests.
The Asiatic water shrews are the members of the genus Chimarrogale. They are mammals in the subfamily Soricinae of the family Soricidae. The genus contains the following species:
The black-naped tern is an oceanic tern mostly found in tropical and subtropical areas of the Pacific and Indian Oceans. It is rarely found inland.
Octomeles is a monotypic genus of plant in family Tetramelaceae. The sole species is Octomeles sumatrana, sometimes written O. sumatranum.
Phalaenopsis sumatrana is a species of orchid endemic to peninsular Thailand, Vietnam and southern Sumatra.

Rauvolfia sumatrana grows as a tree up to 27 metres (90 ft) tall, with a trunk diameter of up to 43 centimetres (17 in). The bark is grey, yellowish grey, greenish yellow or brown. Inflorescences bear up to 35 or more flowers. The flowers feature a white corolla. Fruits are bluish black or purplish black when ripe, round, up to 2.1 cm (1 in) in diameter. The plant is found in a variety of habitats, mostly lowland. R. sumatrana is native to Burma, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines.
Diospyros sumatrana is a tree in the Ebenaceae family. It grows up to 30 metres (100 ft) tall. Inflorescences bear up to three flowers. The fruits are ellipsoid or oblong, up to 2.5 cm (1 in) long.
