Tillinae is a subfamily of beetles in the family Cleridae, the checkered beetles.
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.
Clytus is a genus of longhorn beetles in the family Cerambycidae.
Mordella is the type genus of the tumbling flower beetle family (Mordellidae), its subfamily Mordellinae and the tribe Mordellini. It is widely distributed in the Holarctic and adjacent regions. The larvae are primarily dead wood borers.
Chrysochroinae is a subfamily of beetles in the family Buprestidae: the "jewel beetles".
Acmaeodera is a genus of beetles in the family Buprestidae, a group of metallic wood-boring beetles favored by insect collectors. Whereas most beetles including most buprestids fly with their elytra held out and vibrating their hindwings to give lift and thrust, Acmaedodera, however, fly with their hind wings only — the elytra are fused down the center and form a shield over the insect's abdomen, even during flight. This fact, combined with the banding across the abdomen which is common in this family, gives many of them a distinct wasp-like appearance when in flight. Several are therefore considered hymenopteran mimics.
Mylabris is a genus of beetles in the family Meloidae. It is endemic to the Palearctic realm. The species-rich genus Hycleus was historically confused with Mylabris. It is superficially similar, but is centered on the Afrotropics.
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:
Trichodes is a genus of checkered beetle belonging to the family Cleridae, subfamily Clerinae.
Epicauta is a genus of beetles in the blister beetle family, Meloidae. The genus was first scientifically described in 1834 by Pierre François Marie Auguste Dejean. Epicauta is distributed nearly worldwide, with species native to all continents except Australia and Antarctica. Surveys have found the genus to be particularly diverse in northern Arizona in the United States. Few species occur in the Arctic, with none farther north than the southern Northwest Territory of Canada.
Enoclerus is a genus of checkered beetles in the subfamily Clerinae.
Thanasimodes is a genus of beetles in the subfamily Clerinae.
Phyllobaenus is a genus of checkered beetles in the family Cleridae. There are at least 60 described species in Phyllobaenus.
Lycinae is a subfamily of net-winged beetles in the family Lycidae.
Lecontella brunnea is a species of checkered beetle in the family Cleridae. It is found in Central America and North America.
Lecontella is a genus of checkered beetles in the family Cleridae. There are at least four described species in Lecontella.
Pelonium is a genus of checkered beetles in the family Cleridae. There are about 19 described species in Pelonium.
Cymatoderella is a genus of checkered beetles in the family Cleridae. There are at least three described species in Cymatoderella.
Lecontella gnara is a species of checkered beetle in the family Cleridae. It is found in Central America and North America.
Araeodontia is a genus of checkered beetles in the family Cleridae. There are about five described species in Araeodontia.
