Atyphella Kirakira
''Atyphella'' is a genus of 'flashing' firefly (family Lampyridae) found in the Australasian region, particularly in the eastern and northern regions of Australia. The genus consists of 23 recognized species, 14 considered to be endemic to Australia.Ballantyne & Lambkin, 2006 Description The larval stage of ''Atyphella'' is morphologically similar to the '' Luciola'' larval stage, the key difference being that the ''Atyphella'' possess a series of flat projections on the sides of the body (known as explanate tergites).Ballantyne, 1987 ''Atyphella'' antennae are relatively short, shorter than the widest part of the head. This is almost unique among the genera of the subfamily Luciolinae with '' Bourgeoisia'' being the only other to feature this. The adult ''Atyphella'' head is concealed under an extended pronotum and recessed into the prothoracic cavity. This effectively eliminates upwards vision when in flight and in a resting state. However, it has been observed that some s ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Australian Faunal Directory
The Australian Faunal Directory (AFD) is an online catalogue of taxonomic and biological information on all animal species known to occur within Australia. It is a program of the Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water of the Government of Australia. By May 12, 2021, the Australian Faunal Directory has collected information about 126,442 species and subspecies In biological classification, subspecies is a rank below species, used for populations that live in different areas and vary in size, shape, or other physical characteristics (morphology), but that can successfully interbreed. Not all species .... It includes the data from the discontinued ''Zoological Catalogue of Australia'' and is regularly updated. Started in the 1980s, it set a goal to compile a "list of all Australian fauna including terrestrial vertebrates, ants and marine fauna" and create an "Australian biotaxonomic information system".''Commonwealth Record'', Volume 5, Issues 26-34, p. 1 ...
