Henoticonus bouchardi Grouvelle transferred to Trogocryptoides Champion (Coleoptera: Salpingidae) [PDF]

, 2013
During a revision of the genus Pharaxonotha Reitter, 1875 (Coleoptera: Erotylidae) the study of the type of Henoticonus bouchardi Grouvelle, 1919 (Coleoptera: Erotylidae), considered to belong in Pharaxonotha, was found to be misplaced.

Biodegradation of Polystyrene by Dark ( Tenebrio obscurus) and Yellow ( Tenebrio molitor) Mealworms (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae).

Environmental Science and Technology, 2019
Yellow mealworms (larvae of Tenebrio molitor, Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae) have been proven to be capable of biodegrading polystyrene (PS) products. Using four geographic sources, we found that dark mealworms (larvae of Tenebrio obscurus) ate PS as well ...

Systematics of the enigmatic South American Streblopus Van Lansberge, 1874 dung beetles and their transatlantic origin: a case study on the role of dispersal events in the biogeographical history of the Scarabaeinae (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae)

European Journal of Taxonomy, 2020
Streblopus Van Lansberge, 1874 has been one of the most mysterious dung beetle groups of the Neotropical fauna, having a rather peculiar morphology, very few known specimens in collections and a difficult placement among the scarabaeine lineages. In this

Morphological diversification has led to inter-specific variation in elastic wing deformation during flight in scarab beetles [PDF]

Royal Society Open Science, 2020
Insect wing shapes and the internal wing-vein arrangement are remarkably diverse. Although the wings lack intrinsic musculature to adjust shape actively, they elastically deform due to aerodynamic and inertial loads during flapping.

Quantifying the unquantifiable: why Hymenoptera, not Coleoptera, is the most speciose animal order

bioRxiv, 2018
BackgroundWe challenge the oft-repeated claim that the beetles (Coleoptera) are the most species-rich order of animals. Instead, we assert that another order of insects, the Hymenoptera, is more speciose, due in large part to the massively diverse but ...

First record of Donus intermedius (Coleoptera: Curculionoidae) as a pest on Melissa officinalis in South Tyrol and its identification by molecular methods

Laimburg Journal, 2022
Lemon balm (Melissa officinalis) occurs natively in the Mediterranean Area and is widely cultivated as medicinal and aromatic plant (MAP). In South Tyrol lemon balm is among the most cultivated species of MAP. During spring 2019, two field sites in South

Genetic implications of a biological invasion: Chromosomal and DNA barcode monomorphism in Old World populations of Colorado potato beetle Leptinotarsa decemlineata (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae)

European Journal of Entomology, 2021
Once introduced into new area, invasive species can be expected to have low genetic diversity due to the founder effect. Here we tested this prediction using cytogenetic and molecular analysis of Armenian and Belarusian populations of Colorado potato ...
