Type Genus
In biological taxonomy, the type genus is the genus which defines a biological family and the root of the family name. Zoological nomenclature According to the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature, "The name-bearing type of a nominal family-group taxon is a nominal genus called the 'type genus'; the family-group name is based upon that of the type genus." Any family-group name must have a type genus (and any genus-group name must have a type species, but any species-group name may, but need not, have one or more type specimens). The type genus for a family-group name is also the genus that provided the stem to which was added the ending -idae (for families). :Example: The family name Formicidae has as its type genus the genus ''Formica'' Linnaeus, 1758. Botanical nomenclature In botanical nomenclature, the phrase "type genus" is used, unofficially, as a term of convenience. In the '' ICN'' this phrase has no status. The code uses type specimens for ranks up to fam ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Alydidae
Alydidae, commonly known as broad-headed bugs, is a family of true bugs very similar to the closely related Coreidae (leaf-footed bugs and relatives). There are at least 60 genera and 300 species altogether. Distributed in the temperate and warmer regions of the Earth, most are tropical and subtropical animals; for example Europe has a mere 10 species, and only 2 of these occur outside the Mediterranean region. Names Broad-headed bugs are known as knobe in the Meto and Funai Helong languages of West Timor, Indonesia. Description Broad-headed bugs are up to long, and have slender bodies. Some have long and very thin legs. The most notable characteristics of the family are that the head is broad, often similar in length and width to the pronotum and the scutellum, and that the last antennal segments are elongated and curved. The compound eyes are globular and protruding, and they also have ocelli. The femora of the hindlegs bear several strong spines; the tarsus has three segm ...

Alydus Calcaratus
''Alydus calcaratus'' is a bug species with a Holarctic distribution ranging from the British Isles almost all over Europe to eastern Siberia and China. Moreover, the species also in northern North America from Alaska and Québec across the United States to Wyoming. It is the only species in the family in northern Central Europe outside of the Alps. ''Alydus calcaratus'' is a large (10.0 to 12.0 mm), oblong and mainly blackish-coloured bug. The head is as wide as the pronotum, the rear corners of the pronotum are rounded. The hind leg (femora) of the males are thickened and have several strong spines on the underside. As with all the other species of the family (Alydidae), the antennae have four segments, of which the fourth is curved. The body is blackish, the dorsum of the abdomen has a bright orange patch, which is visible only in flight. They resemble spider-hunting wasps such as ''Arachnospila''. ''Alydus calcaratus'' is phytophagous, the imagines and the nymphs feedi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Cimex
''Cimex'' is a genus of insects in the family Cimicidae. ''Cimex'' species are ectoparasites that typically feed on the blood of birds and mammals. Two species, ''Cimex lectularius'' and ''Cimex hemipterus'', are known as bed bugs and frequently feed on humans, although other species may parasitize humans opportunistically. Species that primarily parasitize bats are known as bat bugs. The insects are long and have flattened reddish-brown bodies with small nonfunctional wings. Description Adult ''Cimex'' are light brown to reddish-brown, flat and oval. The mouthparts are beak-like, and adapted for piercing and sucking. Following a blood meal the abdomen is plump and darker in colour. The front wings are Vestigiality, vestigial and reduced to pad-like structures and there are no hind wings. ''Cimex'' have segmented abdomens with microscopic hairs that give them a banded appearance. Adults grow to long. The different species are very similar in Morphology (biology), morpholog ...

Alydus Eurinus
''Alydus eurinus'' is a species of broad-headed bug in the family Alydidae. It is found in North America. Morphology Alydus eurinus is mostly dark in color with lighter markings sometimes observed on the legs and abdomen. However, coloring on the side of the head is absent. Fine hairs cover the body. The corners of the posteriopronotumplate are rounded, while in a similar species, Alydus pilosulus, the corners are more angular. Their wings are dark in color and possess many longitudinal veins, which distinguish them from the morphologically similar family, Lygaeidae. Sound production Alydus uses ridges, or stridulitrum, on the forewing and nodes, or plectrum, on the femur to produce stridulation. These structures are present on both sexes. The stridulitrum consists of a series of equidistant ridges which are the longest at the midsection of the corium. The plectrum consists of nodes found on the legs which are a project of bone or stiff tissue which are along and across the ...
