Lilioceris
''Lilioceris'' is a genus of beetles in the leaf beetle family, Chrysomelidae. The genus was first scientifically described in 1912 by Edmund Reitter. ''Lilioceris'' belongs to the subfamily Criocerinae and tribe Criocerini (Latreille, 1807). The family of beetles are of importance in horticulture because of their impact on the cultivation of lilies. ''Lilioceris cheni'' was introduced into Central Florida by biologists to try to control the spread of invasive air potato plants. Description Species of ''Lilioceris'' are between 4 and 10 mm long. The body has a long narrow shape, with a pronounced shoulder between the elytra and pronotum. Both the larvae and the adult (imago) beetles feed on plants. Lifecycle ''Lilioceris'' species are holometabolous, having a complete metamorphosis. The larvae proceed to a pupation stage to develop into adults. Diversity Well over 100 species are described, with 80 in Asia alone.Tishechkin, A. K., et al. (2011)Review of the continenta ...

Lilioceris Merdigera
''Lilioceris merdigera'' is a species of beetle belonging to the family Chrysomelidae, subfamily Criocerinae. Distribution This species can be found in most Europe (especially in Czech Republic, France, Germany, Italy, Luxembourg, Russia, and Slovakia) and in the eastern Palearctic realm (China, Japan, and Taiwan). It has been introduced also in Brazil and Mexico. Habitat These shining leaf beetles inhabit edges of forests, fields and gardens. Description ''Lilioceris merdigera'' can reach a length of 6–8 mm. Head, pronotum, elytra, femora and tibiae are bright red and elytra bear several rows of dots. It can be easily distinguished by the similar ''Lilioceris lilii'' which has black instead of red legs and head.Helena KrooBiology of Lilioceris lilii and the occurrence of their parassitoids in Sweden/ref> This species is also similar to '' Lilioceris schneideri''.

Pierre André Latreille
Pierre André Latreille (; 29 November 1762 – 6 February 1833) was a French zoologist, specialising in arthropods. Having trained as a Roman Catholic priest before the French Revolution, Latreille was imprisoned, and only regained his freedom after recognising a rare beetle species he found in the prison, ''Necrobia ruficollis''. He published his first important work in 1796 (), and was eventually employed by the . His foresighted work on arthropod systematics and taxonomy gained him respect and accolades, including being asked to write the volume on arthropods for George Cuvier's monumental work, , the only part not by Cuvier himself. Latreille was considered the foremost entomologist of his time, and was described by one of his pupils as "the prince of entomologists". Biography Early life Pierre André Latreille was born on 29 November 1762 in the town of Brive, then in the province of Limousin, as the illegitimate child of Jean Joseph Sahuguet d'Amarzit, général ...

Chrysomelidae
The insects of the beetle family Chrysomelidae are commonly known as leaf beetles, and include over 37,000 (and probably at least 50,000) species in more than 2,500 genera, making up one of the largest and most commonly encountered of all beetle families. Numerous subfamilies are recognized, but the precise taxonomy and systematics are likely to change with ongoing research. Leaf beetles are partially recognizable by their tarsal formula, which appears to be 4-4-4, but is actually 5-5-5 as the fourth tarsal segment is very small and hidden by the third. As with many taxa, no single character defines the Chrysomelidae; instead, the family is delineated by a set of characters. Some lineages are only distinguished with difficulty from longhorn beetles (family Cerambycidae), namely by the antennae not arising from frontal tubercles. Adult and larval leaf beetles feed on all sorts of plant tissue, and all species are fully herbivorous. Many are serious pests of cultivated plants, ...

Asparagus Beetle
''Crioceris'', or asparagus beetle, is a genus of the family Chrysomelidae of beetles. The name is neo-Latin from Greek , ram and , horn. Not all species in the genus ''Crioceris'' feed on asparagus (e.g., ''C. nigropicta''). Some studies have found low genetic diversity among groups of isolated Chrysomelidae, and use ''Wolbachia'' species as a genetic marker. Species *'' Crioceris asparagi'' (Linnaeus, 1758), common asparagus beetle *'' Crioceris bicruciata'' ( Sahlberg, 1823) *'' Crioceris duodecimpunctata'' (Linnaeus, 1758), spotted asparagus beetle *'' Crioceris macilenta'' Weise, 1880 *'' Crioceris nigropunctata'' Lacordaire, 1845 *'' Crioceris paracenthesis'' (Linnaeus, 1767) *'' Crioceris quatuordecimpunctata'' (Scopoli, 1763) *'' Crioceris quinquepunctata'' (Scopoli Giovanni Antonio Scopoli (sometimes Latinized as Johannes Antonius Scopolius) (3 June 1723 – 8 May 1788) was an Italian physician and naturalist.

Otto Friedrich Müller
Otto Friedrich Müller, also known as Otto Friedrich Mueller (2 November 1730 – 26 December 1784) was a Danish naturalist and scientific illustrator. Biography Müller was born in Copenhagen. He was educated for the church, became tutor to a young nobleman, and after several years' travel with him, settled in Copenhagen in 1767, and married a lady of wealth. His first important works, ''Fauna Insectorum Friedrichsdaliana'' (Leipzig, 1764), and ''Flora Friedrichsdaliana'' (Strasbourg, 1767), giving accounts of the insects and flora of the estate of Frederiksdal, near Copenhagen, recommended him to Frederick V of Denmark, by whom he was employed to continue the ''Flora Danica'' a comprehensive atlas of the flora of Denmark. Müller added two volumes to the three published by Georg Christian Oeder since 1761. The study of invertebrates began to occupy his attention almost exclusively, and in 1771 he produced a work in German on “Certain Worms inhabiting Fresh and Salt Water,†...

Beetle Tribes
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 described species, is the largest of all orders, constituting almost 40% of described insects and 25% of all known animal life-forms; new species are discovered frequently, with estimates suggesting that there are between 0.9 and 2.1 million total species. Found in almost every habitat except the sea and the polar regions, they interact with their ecosystems in several ways: beetles often feed on plants and fungi, break down animal and plant debris, and eat other invertebrates. Some species are serious agricultural pests, such as the Colorado potato beetle, while others such as Coccinellidae (ladybirds or ladybugs) eat aphids, scale insects, thrips, and other plant-sucking insects that damage crops. Beetles typically have a particularly hard exoske ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
