Acropteroxys Gracilis
''Acropteroxys gracilis'', the slender lizard beetle, is a species of lizard beetle in the family Erotylidae. It is found in Central America and North America, including into Canada. With a body length range of 6-12mm, it is narrower and shorter than its relative, ''A. lecontei'',A review of the North American Languriidae. Vaurie P. 1948. Bull. AMNH 92: 119-156. the only other currently described species within this genus. It is reported to feed upon ambrosia plant species such as the common ragweed.Majka, Christopher & Migneault, Richard & Webster, Reginald. (2010). Acropteroxys gracilis (Newman): the first reports of a lizard beetle (Coleoptera: Erotylidae: Languriinae) in the Maritime Provinces of Canada. Entomol. Soc. 6. 28-29. Members of this plant genus are serious agricultural pests and so this insect species has been investigated for potential use as a biocontrol agent. However, ''A. gracilis'' is considered an economic pest due to its activity boring into the stems of ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Erotylidae
''Ischyrus quadripunctatus'' Erotylidae, or the pleasing fungus beetles, is a family of beetles belonging to Cucujoidea containing over 100 genera. In the present circumscription, it contains 6 tribes (Tritomini, Dacnini, Megalodacnini, Erotylini, Cryptophilini, and Languriini) and 10 subfamilies ( Cryptophilinae, Dacninae, Encaustinae, Erotylinae, Languriinae, Loberinae, Megalodacninae, Pharaxonothinae, Tritominae, and Xenoscelinae). In other words, the narrowly circumscribed Erotylidae correspond to the subfamily Erotylinae in the definition ''sensu lato''. There are doubts on the monophyly of lower ranked taxa within Erotylidae, with further phylogenetic studies requiring better sampling and studies of unexplored character sets, for example the metendosternite and penile flagellum, which are generally lacking detailed morphological studies within the Coleoptera literature. The Eroytlina taxonomy is based off traits such as their different colors and not off morpho ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
