Chrysochus Auratus 1
''Chrysochus'' is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is known from North America, Europe and Asia. Etymology The name of the genus is derived from the Greek word (), meaning "goldsmith". Taxonomic history In 1836, the genus ''Chrysochus'' was first established by Louis Alexandre Auguste Chevrolat in Dejean's ''Catalogue des Coléoptères'', including the species ''Chrysomela asiatica'' Pallas, 1771, ''C. aurata'' Fabricius, 1775 and ''C. pretiosa'' Fabricius, 1792 (now '' Chrysochares asiaticus'', '' Chrysochus auratus'' and '' Chrysochus asclepiadeus'', respectively). ''Chrysomela praetiosa'' was designated as the type species of the genus by Sylvain Auguste de Marseul in 1864. The generic name ''Chrysochus'' Chevrolat in Dejean, 1836 is a conserved name. It was threatened by '' Eumolpus'' in the sense used by Kugelann in Illiger, 1798, which included ''Chrysomela praetiosa''. An application to conserve ''Chrysochus'' and other names by suppres ...

Chrysochus Cobaltinus
Chrysochus cobaltinus, the cobalt milkweed beetle or blue milkweed beetle, is a member of the diverse family of leaf beetles, Chrysomelidae. It is named after its cobalt-blue exoskeleton, which makes it easy to spot and distinguish, and its tendency to feed off Asclepias, milkweed plants. It occurs in the Western United States and British Columbia. These beetles use dogbane and Asclepias, milkweed plant species as their primary source of food. Both these plants contain toxic molecules known as cardenolides. ''C.cobaltinus'' beetles are resistant to cardenolide toxic effects and can further use them for their own protection against predators. By storing them in prothorax, pronotal and elytra glands, they can utilize these toxins to their advantage and evolutionary benefit. These beetles participate in Animal sexual behavior#Polygamy, polygamous matings in which both female and male beetles mate with multiple partners. Females can particularly mate with three male beetles simultane ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Chrysochus Auratus
''Chrysochus auratus'', the dogbane beetle, of eastern North America, is a member of the leaf beetle subfamily Eumolpinae. It is primarily found east of the Rocky Mountains. Its diet mainly consists of dogbane (''Apocynum''), specifically ''Apocynum cannabinum'' and ''Apocynum androsaemifolium'', and occasionally it eats milkweed. It is 8-11 mm long and has a convex, oval shape. Description The adults are an iridescent blue-green with a metallic copper, golden or crimson shine. Dogbane beetles range from 8 to 11 mm in length, and they are oblong and convex in shape. The head contains two antennae that are widely set apart and located between the beetle's eyes. They are twelve-jointed with eleven segments, and the basal segment is shorter than that of the second segment. The larvae have white bodies and brown heads. Distribution and habitat Because the dogbane beetle's main source of food is dogbane leaves, they live in areas where this plant is abundant, such as fields ...

Palearctic Realm
The Palearctic or Palaearctic is the largest of the eight biogeographic realms of the Earth. It stretches across all of Eurasia north of the foothills of the Himalayas, and North Africa. The realm consists of several bioregions: the Euro-Siberian region; the Mediterranean Basin; the Sahara and Arabian Deserts; and Western, Central and East Asia. The Palaearctic realm also has numerous rivers and lakes, forming several freshwater ecoregions. The term 'Palearctic' was first used in the 19th century, and is still in use as the basis for zoogeographic classification. History In an 1858 paper for the ''Proceedings of the Linnean Society'', British zoologist Philip Sclater first identified six terrestrial zoogeographic realms of the world: Palaearctic, Aethiopian/Afrotropic, Indian/Indomalayan, Australasian, Nearctic, and Neotropical. The six indicated general groupings of fauna, based on shared biogeography and large-scale geographic barriers to migration. Alfred Wallace ad ...

The Bulletin Of Zoological Nomenclature
The International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature (ICZN) is an organization dedicated to "achieving stability and sense in the scientific naming of animals". Founded in 1895, it currently comprises 26 commissioners from 20 countries. Organization The ICZN is governed by the "Constitution of the ICZN", which is usually published together with the ICZN Code. Members are elected by the Section of Zoological Nomenclature, established by the International Union of Biological Sciences (IUBS). The regular term of service of a member of the Commission is six years. Members can be re-elected up to a total of three full six-year terms in a row. After 18 continuous years of elected service, a break of at least three years is prescribed before the member can stand again for election. Activities Since 2014, the work of the Commission is supported by a small secretariat based at the National University of Singapore, in Singapore. Previously, the secretariat was based in London and fun ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Johann Karl Wilhelm Illiger
Johann Karl Wilhelm Illiger (19 November 1775 – 10 May 1813) was a German entomologist and zoologist. Illiger was the son of a merchant in Braunschweig. He studied under the entomologist Johann Christian Ludwig Hellwig, Johann Hellwig, and later worked on the zoological collections of Johann Centurius Hoffmannsegg. Illiger was professor and director of the "zoological museum" (which is the Natural History Museum, Berlin, Natural History Museum of Berlin in the present day) from its formation in 1810 until his death. He was the author of ''Prodromus systematis mammalium et avium'' (1811), which was an overhaul of the Carl Linnaeus, Linnaean system. It was a major influence on the adoption of the concept of the Family (biology), family. He also edited the ''Magazin für Insektenkunde'', widely known as "Illiger's Magazine". In 1811 he introduced the taxonomic order Proboscidea for elephants, the American Mastodon, American mastodon and the woolly mammoth. He also described the ...

Eumolpus (beetle)
''Eumolpus'' is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It includes 40 species, most of which have a large size and include some of the largest members of the subfamily. They are distributed throughout the Neotropical realm, though one species ('' Eumolpus robustus'') has been recorded as far north as Arizona (in the United States). Etymology The name of the genus is either derived from the Ancient Greek (''eúmolpos''), or is named after Eumolpus from Greek mythology, who was the son of Poseidon and Chione. Taxonomic history The genus in its current sense is attributed to Weber, 1801. However, the name ''Eumolpus'' was first used in Johann Karl Wilhelm Illiger's ''Verzeichniß der Käfer Preußens'' in 1798, where it was attributed to Johann Gottlieb Kugelann, and originally consisted of European species now placed in the genera ''Chrysochus'' and ''Bromius''. While most authors followed Weber, 1801, some recent European entomologists have followed Warchało ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Conserved Name
A conserved name or ''nomen conservandum'' (plural ''nomina conservanda'', abbreviated as ''nom. cons.'') is a scientific name that has specific nomenclatural protection. That is, the name is retained, even though it violates one or more rules which would otherwise prevent it from being legitimate. ''Nomen conservandum'' is a Latin term, meaning "a name to be conserved". The terms are often used interchangeably, such as by the ''International Code of Nomenclature for Algae, Fungi, and Plants'' (ICN), while the ''International Code of Zoological Nomenclature'' favours the term "''conserved name''". The process for conserving botanical names is different from that for zoological names. Under the botanical code, names may also be "suppressed", ''nomen rejiciendum'' (plural ''nomina rejicienda'' or ''nomina utique rejicienda'', abbreviated as ''nom. rej.''), or rejected in favour of a particular conserved name, and combinations based on a suppressed name are also listed as “''nom. re ...
