Zargus is a genus of in the beetle family Carabidae. There are about six described species in Zargus. [1] [2]
These six species belong to the genus Zargus:
Thomas Vernon Wollaston was an English entomologist and malacologist, becoming especially known for his studies of Coleoptera inhabiting several North Atlantic archipelagoes. He was well-placed socially. His religious beliefs effectively prevented him from supporting Charles Darwin's theories after 1859, but Darwin remained a close friend. Wollaston supported the theory that continental lands had once extended outward farther to encompass some of the island groups he studied.
Captain Frederick Wollaston Hutton was an English-born New Zealand scientist who applied the theory of natural selection to explain the origins and nature of the natural history of New Zealand. Whilst an army officer, he embarked on an academic career in geology and biology, to become one of the most able and prolific nineteenth century naturalists of New Zealand.
Olisthopus is a genus of ground beetle native to the Palearctic, the Near East and North Africa. It contains the following species:
Paradromius is a genus in the beetle family Carabidae. There are more than 20 described species in Paradromius, found in North Africa, the Palearctic, and the Middle East.
Apotominae is a subfamily of beetles in the family Carabidae. It contains the single genus Apotomus with the following species:
Philorhizus is a genus in the beetle family Carabidae. There are more than 50 described species in Philorhizus.
Eurygnathus latreillei is a species of beetles in the family Carabidae, the only species in the genus Eurygnathus.
Hystricella is a genus of air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropod mollusks in the subfamily Geomitrinae of the family Geomitridae, the hairy snails and their allies.
Orthomus is a genus in the beetle family Carabidae. There are more than 30 described species in Orthomus.
Thalassophilus is a genus of beetles in the family Carabidae.
Longitarsus cinerariae is a species of beetle in the subfamily Galerucinae that is endemic to Madeira.
Blastobasis marmorosella is a moth in the family Blastobasidae. It is found on the Canary Islands, Madeira and in Portugal and Spain. This species has been accidentally introduced to Australia and New Zealand.
Deucalion oceanicum is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae and the only species in the genus Deucalion. It is endemic to the Savage Islands. The species and genus were described by Thomas Vernon Wollaston in 1854.
Paradeucalion is a beetle genus in the family Cerambycidae described by Stephan von Breuning in 1950. Its contains the following species:
Anacaena is a genus of water scavenger beetles in the subfamily Hydrophilinae. It is an extant genus but there is at least one fossil species.
Mesites is a genus of true weevils in the family of beetles known as Curculionidae. There are at least 30 described species in Mesites.
Curimopsis is a genus of pill beetles in the family Byrrhidae. There are more than 30 described species in Curimopsis.
Sphaericus is a genus of spider beetles in the family Ptinidae. There are more than 30 described species in Sphaericus.
Campiglossa reticulata is a species of tephritid or fruit flies in the genus Campiglossa of the family Tephritidae.
Laparocerus is a genus of weevils of the family Curculionidae with 264 species and subspecies practically exclusive to central Macaronesia: the archipelagos of Madeira, Salvages and the Canaries. The two species present in western Morocco are attributable to a retro-colonisation from the Canary Islands to Africa. Over some nine million years, this lineage of Entiminae has generated some twenty-four monophyletic branches (subgenera) as a result of successive adaptive and geographic radiations, which have been significantly influenced by the geological dynamics of construction and dismantling typical of volcanic islands.
