Bostrichinae
Bostrichinae is a subfamily of beetles Beetles are insects that form the order Coleoptera (), in the superorder Endopterygota. Their front pair of wings are hardened into wing-cases, elytra, distinguishing them from most other insects. The Coleoptera, with about 400,000 describ ....

Bostrichidae
The Bostrichidae are a family of beetles with more than 700 described species. They are commonly called auger beetles, false powderpost beetles, or horned powderpost beetles. The head of most auger beetles cannot be seen from above, as it is downwardly directed and hidden by the thorax. Exceptions are the powderpost beetles (subfamily Lyctinae), and members of the subfamily Psoinae. ''Bostrychoplites cornutus'' has large, distinctive thoracic horns, and is found in parts of Africa and Arabia; it is often imported to Europe as larvae in African wooden bowls ("ethnic souvenirs") . The fossil record of the family extends to the Cretaceous, with the oldest records being from the Cenomanian aged Charentese and Burmese ambers, belonging to the extant genus '' Stephanopachys'' and the extant subfamilies Dinoderinae and Polycaoninae. Selected species This list is incomplete: * '' Amphicerus cornutus'' (Pallas, 1772) * ''Apate terebrans'' (Pallas, 1772) * ''Prostephanus truncat ...

Heterobostrychus
''Heterobostrychus'' is a genus of beetles in the family Bostrichidae, the horned powder post beetles. Like other beetles of the family, these live in wood, often inflicting significant damage on timber and other wood products. This genus can also be found in crop plants such as cassava, potato, coffee, oilseeds, and pulse crops.Azmi, M. S. M., et al. (2011)World distribution of ''Heterobostrychus aequalis'' Waterhouse (Coleoptera: Bostrychidae).''Journal of Entomology'' 8(6) 497-511. '' Heterobostrychus aequalis'', known commonly as the lesser auger beetle, trank borer, black borer, and kapok borer, is a notorious pest of many wood products. It has been found in plywood, furniture, wooden toys, wooden clogs, and carvings. These beetles are transported from their native range in tree products and introduced to other regions in timber shipments. Several species have easily established in new areas, particularly those with warm climates, as they do not tolerate cold. ' ...

Bostrichoidea
Bostrichoidea is a superfamily of beetles. It is the type superfamily of the infraorder Bostrichiformia. Description The Bostrichoidea are united by the following features: modified cryptonephridism, the structure of the aedeagus in males, and the lack of a basal mandibular mola in larvae. Aside from this, Bostrichoidea show a range of morphologies. For example, in Bostrichidae alone, the adult body shape varies from convex to flattened, the body length from 2 to 50 mm, and the colour may be yellow, brown or black and sometimes has a metallic hue. Ecology Bostrichoids generally live in dry habitats. For example, many Bostrichidae feed on wood, though some attack monocotyledonous plants as well and ''Rhyzopertha dominica'' feeds on stored grains and cereal products. Similarly, most Ptinidae are wood-borers as larvae but some feed on other dry plant or animal material, such as stored foods, tobacco and museum specimens. Dermestidae are typically scavengers on dried organic m ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
