Antoine Henri Grouvelle
Antoine Henri Grouvelle (17 January 1843 – 9 June 1917 Neuilly-sur-Seine) was a French entomologist who specialised in Coleoptera. He was also an engineer who directed a tobacco factory. He worked on world fauna of the heterogeneous group of beetles known as Clavicornia.

Beetle
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 e ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Carabidae
Ground beetles are a large, cosmopolitan 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 fore leg tibiae bearing a comb of hairs used for cleaning their antennae.

Per Brinck
Per Simon Valdemar Brinck (4 September 1919 – 6 October 2013) was a Swedish zoologist. Brinck began his career as a veterinarian, but wrote a thesis on ''Plecoptera'' and later became a worldwide authority on ''Gyrinidae''. He travelled extensively to Africa and Southeast Asia, among others co-publishing the fifteen-volume ''South African Animal Life'' between 1955 and 1973. He served as a professor of zoology at the Lund University from 1958 to 1986. Brinck edited the journal ''Oikos'' from 1965 to 1989, and since 2007 the journal has given out the Per Brinck Oikos Award. Brinck was a fellow of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences from 1974 and of the Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters. He also was a Honorary Member of the British Ecological Society. The genera ''Perbrinckia ''Perbrinckia'' is a genus of freshwater crabs of the family Gecarcinucidae that is endemic to Sri Lanka, named after Per Brinck.
