Friedrich August Von Gebler
Friedrich August von Gebler or Fedor Vasilievich Gebler (Федор Васильевич Геблер) (15 December 1781 – 9 March 1850) was a Prussian physician, explorer, and naturalist who worked in the Russian Empire and was a corresponding member of the Imperial Academy of Sciences of Russia. He described several species of beetle and the Altai snowcock. Biography Gebler was born in Zeulenroda to a Prussian-Austrian civil servant Georg Wilhelm Gebler and his wife Ernestine Frederika, née von Fickweiler. He was tutored at home followed by studies at the Lyceum in Greiz and went to study medicine and natural science at the University of Jena. He was also keenly interested in minerals but failing to find a position in that field he chose to study medicine. He received his degree in medicine in 1802 and practiced in Zeulenroda, Greiz, and then Dresden. He moved to St. Petersburg in 1808 and joined the Russian government service in 1809 working at a hospital in Barnaul, Altai ...

Ground Beetle
Ground beetles are a large, cosmopolitan distribution, cosmopolitan family (biology), family of beetles, the Carabidae, with more than 40,000 species worldwide, around 2,000 of which are found in North America and 2,700 in Europe. As of 2015, it is one of the 10 most species-rich animal families. They belong to the Adephaga. Members of the family are primarily carnivorous, but some members are phytophagous or omnivorous. Description and ecology Although their body shapes and coloring vary somewhat, most are shiny black or metallic and have ridged wing covers (elytra). The elytra are fused in some species, particularly the large Carabinae, rendering the beetles unable to fly. The species ''Mormolyce phyllodes'' is known as violin beetle due to their peculiarly shaped elytra. All carabids except the quite primitive flanged bombardier beetles (Paussinae) have a groove on their arthropod leg, fore leg tibiae bearing a comb of hairs used for cleaning their antenna (biology), antennae. ...

Harpalinae
Harpalinae is a huge subfamily of ground beetles that contains 20,000 species or ~6,400 spp. in 24 tribes worldwide, according to others. A rarely used common name for the subfamily is the harp beetles. The Harpalinae contain the most apomorphic ground beetles, displaying a wide range of forms and behaviors. Some are, rare among ground beetles, omnivores or even herbivores. Many closely related subfamilies have been treated as subordinate taxa of the Harpalinae by various authors. Among these are the Dryptinae, Lebiinae (including Cyclosominae, Mormolycinae, Odacanthinae, Perigoninae), Licininae (including Chlaeniinae, Oodinae), Orthogoniinae, Panagaeinae, Platyninae, Pseudomorphinae, Pterostichinae (including Zabrinae). Here, they are considered independent families within the harpaline (''sensu lato'') assemblage, and this is also tentatively assumed for the enigmatic monotypic genus ''Ginema''. Systematics At least 4 large and several smaller supertribes can be dist ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
