Trichinorhipis is a monotypic genus of beetles in the family Buprestidae, subfamily Buprestinae, and tribe Xenorhipidini. [1] The single species, Trichinorhipis knulli, is endemic to California in the United States, where it has been collected from Riverside [2] and Imperial Counties. [3]
This beetle is black with large whitish marks across its elytra. The original specimen measured less than 4 millimeters in length. It has fan-like (flabellate) antennae. [2] Very few specimens of this beetle have been collected, but it has usually been associated with jojoba (Simmondsia chinensis). [4]
The beetle has been collected close to the Mexico–United States border, so it likely occurs in Mexico as well. [3]
The genus is so far monotypic, another undescribed beetle found in West Texas likely belongs to the genus as well. [3]
Dorochoviella is a monotypic genus of beetles in the family Buprestidae, the jewel beetles. It was erected in 2006 with the description of the new species Dorochoviella kunashirensis. The single known specimen was collected on Kunashir Island, one of the Kuril Islands.
Lepismadora is a monotypic genus of beetles in the family Buprestidae, the jewel beetles. It contains the single species Lepismadora algodones, which is known by the common name Algodones sand jewel beetle. It is endemic to California in the United States, where it has been collected only from the Algodones Dunes in Imperial County.
Madecorformica is a monotypic beetle genus in the family Buprestidae, the jewel beetles. The only species is Madecorformica silhouetta, native to Madagascar.
Neefioides rufobasalis is a species of beetles in the family Buprestidae, the jewel beetles. Formerly known as Cisseis rufobasalis, it was transferred to a new monotypic genus of its own, Neefioides, in 2003. This beetle is native to Madagascar.
Nelsonagrilus is a genus of beetles in the family Buprestidae, the jewel beetles. The genus was erected in 2006 with the description of three new species. N. typicus and N. bambula occur in Laos and N. suzannae is native to Sumatra.
Sakalianus is a monotypic genus of beetles in the family Buprestidae, the jewel beetles. The sole species, Sakalianus marietae, was first described to science in 2007. It is known only from Kenya.
Microcastalia is a genus of metallic wood-boring beetles in the family Buprestidae. There are at least two described species in Microcastalia.
Semiognatha is a monotypic genus of beetles in the family Buprestidae, tribe Stigmoderini, the jewel beetles. The sole species, Semiognatha sainvali, was described in 2004 from a specimen collected in Brazil.
Senegalisia is a monotypic genus of beetles in the family Buprestidae, the jewel beetles. It was erected in 1987 for a species separated from the genus Anthaxia and renamed Senegalisia semireticulata. It is native to Senegal.
Zulubuprestis is a monotypic genus of beetles in the family Buprestidae, the jewel beetles. The sole species is Zulubuprestis reliquia. It is known only from South Africa.
Nipponobuprestis is a genus of beetles in the family Buprestidae. This genus was established by Jan Obenberger in 1942, but the type species was not identified until Toyama did so in 1986. This genus contains the following species:
Paratyndaris is a genus of beetles in the family Buprestidae, containing the following species:
Paleobuprestis is an ichnogenus of bioerosion trace fossils found in wood that are thought to have been produced by the larvae of beetles in the family Buprestidae. It was first described by American paleontologist and park naturalist Myrl V. Walker in 1938, based on channels found just under the bark of petrified logs from the Petrified Forest National Park in Arizona, dated to the Late Triassic epoch. He described two different species of these markings: Paleobuprestis maxima for channels with a diameter of about 10 mm, and Paleobuprestis minima for those with a diameter of only 2 mm. Paleobuprestis has since also been recorded from the Upper Jurassic Morrison Formation and the Upper Cretaceous Price River Formation. In 2013, a third ichnospecies, Paleobuprestis sudeticus, was described from the Viséan-aged Paprotnia Beds in the Polish Sudetes. In 2006, Charles L. Bellamy established a new genus-group name Archeobuprestis for P. maxima and P. minima, considering the name Paleobuprestis to be unavailable under the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature because it was described after 1930 without a type species designation in its original publication.
Cyrioides elateroides is a species of beetle in the family Buprestidae native to southwest Western Australia. It was described by the English entomologist Edward Saunders in 1872, the type specimen collected along the Swan River. Saunders noted it to be similar in coloration to the related C. vittigera but had its markings were patterned differently.
Synaphaeta is a monotypic beetle genus in the family Cerambycidae first described by Thomson in 1864. Its only species, Synaphaeta guexi, occurs in the Pacific states of North America, from British Columbia down to California. It has been reared from a variety of hardwood trees, including Pacific willow , white alder , coffeeberry , English walnut , and cherry . It was described by John Lawrence LeConte in 1852 based on a specimen from Benicia, California.
Edwin Cooper Van Dyke was an American physician and entomologist. A leading authority on beetles (Coleoptera) of the Pacific Coast of North America, he was also an expert on insect pests of forests and forest products. He became a professor of entomology at the University of California, Berkeley and worked on the curatorial staff at the California Academy of Sciences for almost fifty years.
Xenorhipidini is a tribe of metallic wood-boring beetles in the family Buprestidae. There are about 8 described species in Xenorhipidini.
Acmaeoderoides knulli is a species of metallic wood-boring beetle in the family Buprestidae. It is found in North America.
Paratyndaris knulli is a species of metallic wood-boring beetle in the family Buprestidae. It is found in Central America and North America.
Chrysobothris knulli, or Knull's chrysobothris, is a species of metallic wood-boring beetle in the family Buprestidae. It is found in Central America and North America.
