Adoretus Fulvus
''Adoretus'' is a genus of Scarabaeidae or scarab beetles. They are native to Africa and Asia, and two species occur in Europe. Description ''Adoretus'' beetles are elongate and oval in shape, 10-12 long, and brown with a covering of white/cream setae. The head has a broad, circular clypeus with a reflexed margin. Underneath this is a labrum with a median apical projection overhanging the mentum. There is a pair of antennae, each with 9-10 segments and a 3-segmented club. The pronotum has a thickened setose border. The elytra are irregularly coarsely punctate, and the disc usually has 2-3 raised longitudinal lines. There are three pairs of legs. The first pair has two or three teeth on each tibia. The tarsi of the second and third leg pairs are simple and asymmetrical. The tibiae of the last leg pair have truncate apices, each with two apical spurs situated close together. Different species look very similar and can only be told apart by examining genitalia of males ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
