Eumolpini
Eumolpini is a tribe of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is the largest tribe in the subfamily, with approximately 170 genera found worldwide. Members of the tribe almost always have a longitudinal median groove on the pygidium, which possibly helps to keep the elytra locked at rest. They also generally have a subglabrous body, as well as appendiculate pretarsal claws. Taxonomy Following the leaf beetle classification of Seeno and Wilcox (1982), the genera of Eumolpini are divided into five informal groups or "sections": Corynodites, Edusites, Endocephalites, Eumolpites and Iphimeites. In the ''Catalog of the leaf beetles of America North of Mexico'', published in 2003, the section Myochroites of Bromiini was placed in synonymy with the section Iphimeites in Eumolpini. The North American genera '' Glyptoscelis'' and '' Myochrous'' from Myochroites were also transferred to Iphimeites. Genera These 172 genera belong to the tribe Eumolpini: * '' Abiromorphus'' Pic, 1 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Bromiini
Bromiini (or Adoxini) is a tribe of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. The tribe contains approximately 120 genera, which are found worldwide. They are generally thought to be an artificial group, often with a subcylindrical prothorax without lateral ridges and covered with setae or scales. Nomenclature The name "Bromiini" is conserved over the older name "Adoxini" because of Article 40(2) of the ICZN, which states: "If ... a family-group name was replaced before 1961 because of the synonymy of the type genus, the substitute name is to be maintained if it is in prevailing usage. A name maintained by virtue of this Article retains its own author but takes the priority of the replaced name, of which it is deemed to be the senior synonym." Bromiini is cited with its own author and date, followed by the date of the replaced name in parentheses: Bromiini Baly, 1865 (1863). Taxonomy Following the leaf beetle classification of Seeno and Wilcox (1982), the genera of Bromiini are d ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Acronymolpus
''Acronymolpus'' is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is endemic to New Caledonia. There are two species placed in the genus, both of which are sexually dimorphic; the females are large and reddish, and the males are small and black. A member of the tribe Eumolpini, ''Acronymolpus'' is distinguished from other members of the tribe in New Caledonia by its enlarged metacoxae (coxae of the hind legs), which occupy most of the first abdominal ventrite and nearly reach its posterior margin. Taxonomy ''Acronymolpus'' was first proposed by Dr. G. Allan Samuelson of the Bishop Museum, who published a description of the genus in the online journal ''ZooKeys'' in 2015. The genus name is a combination of the Latin prefix (meaning "pointed, first, high"), "''nyma''" (given as meaning "name") and the prefix "''-molpus''" (from ''Eumolpus'', the type genus of the subfamily Eumolpinae), and has a masculine gender. The genus originally contained four new species, all d ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Myochrous
''Myochrous'' is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is known from North, Central and South America. There are over 50 described species in ''Myochrous''. The generic name is a combination of the Ancient Greek words (mouse) and (color). The southern corn leaf beetle ('' Myochrous denticollis'') is a crop pest, and has been reported to damage corn in Illinois. Additionally, the species '' Myochrous melancholicus'' has been reported to damage banana fruit. According to BugGuide and ITIS, the genus is now placed in the tribe Eumolpini instead of Adoxini. Species * '' Myochrous adisi'' Medvedev, 2004 * '' Myochrous armatus'' Baly, 1865 (cane leaf or bud beetle) * '' Myochrous austrinus'' Blake, 1950 * '' Myochrous barbadensis'' Blake, 1947 ** ''Myochrous barbadensis barbadensis'' Blake, 1947 ** ''Myochrous barbadensis coenus'' Blake, 1950 * '' Myochrous blakeae'' Shute, 1974 * '' Myochrous bolivianus'' Blake, 1950 * '' Myochrous brunneus'' Blake, 1950 * ...

Eumolpinae
The Eumolpinae are a subfamily of the leaf beetles, or Chrysomelidae. It is one of the largest subfamilies of leaf beetles, including more than 500 genera and 7000 species. They are oval, and convex in form, and measure up to 10 mm in size. Typical coloration for this subfamily of beetles ranges from bright yellow to dark red. Many species are iridescent or brilliantly metallic blue or green in appearance. Description Eumolpinae can be recognized at first sight by their rounded thoraces, more or less spherical or bell-shaped, but always significantly narrower than the mesothorax as covered by the elytra. Additional features include a small head set deeply into the thorax, and usually well-developed legs. They generally resemble other Chrysomelidae, but differ in having front coxae rounded and third tarsal segment bilobed beneath. Many are metallic, or yellow and spotted. The dogbane beetle (''Chrysochus auratus''), for instance, is very attractive—iridescent blue-green wit ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Glyptoscelis
''Glyptoscelis'' is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. There are 38 species of ''Glyptoscelis'' described from North, Central and South America. There are also three species of ''Glyptoscelis'' known from the West Indies, though they are wrongly placed in the genus. In addition, a single species was described from Hunan, China in 2021. According to BugGuide and ITIS, the genus is now placed in the tribe Eumolpini instead of Adoxini.

Frederick William Hope
Frederick William Hope (3 January 1797 – 15 April 1862) was an English clergyman, naturalist, collector, and entomologist, who founded a professorship at the University of Oxford to which he gave his entire collections of insects in 1849 (now known as the Hope Collection or in expanded form the Hope Entomological Collections, with around 3.5 million specimens). He described numerous species and was a founder of the Entomological Society of London in 1833 along with John Obadiah Westwood. Biography Frederick was the second son of John Thomas Hope of Netley Hall, Shrewsbury, and Ellen Hester Mary, only child and heiress of Sir Thomas Edwardes, and was born at their home in 37 Upper Seymour Street, London. He studied under the private tutor Reverend Delafosse and joined Christ Church, Oxford in 1817 and graduated with a BA in 1820. Presented to the curacy of Frodesley in Shropshire, he quickly retired as a result of ill health. Hope married, in 1835, the wealthy Ellen Meredith, ...

Acolaspoides
''Acolaspoides'' is an extinct genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It contains only one species, ''Acolaspoides longipes'', and is known only from lowermost Eocene amber collected from Le Quesnoy, Oise Department, France. The species is known only from one fossil, the holotype, specimen number "PA 2364". It is an almost complete beetle of unknown sex included in a small piece of amber. The specimen is currently deposited at the Muséum national d'histoire naturelle in Paris, France. ''Acolaspoides'' was first studied by Alexey G. Moseyko and Alexander G. Kirejtshuk of the Zoological Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences and Andre Nel of the Muséum national d'histoire naturelle. Their type description of the genus was published in the journal '' Annales de la Société Entomologique de France'' in 2010. The generic name, ''Acolaspoides'', is derived from the negative prefix "a" and the generic name '' Colaspoides''. The specific name, ''longipes'', is a ...

The Fauna Of British India, Including Ceylon And Burma
''The Fauna of British India'' (short title) with long titles including ''The Fauna of British India, Including Ceylon and Burma'', and ''The Fauna of British India Including the Remainder of the Oriental Region'' is a series of scientific books that was published by the British government in India and printed by Taylor and Francis of London. The series was started sometime in 1881 after a letter had been sent to the Secretary of State for India signed by Charles Darwin, Sir Joseph Dalton Hooker and other "eminent men of science" forwarded by P.L.Sclater to R.H. Hobart. W. T. Blanford was appointed editor and began work on the volume on mammals. In the volume on the mammals, Blanford notes: The idea was to cover initially the vertebrates, taking seven volumes, and this was followed by a proposal to cover the invertebrates in about 15 to 20 volumes and projected to cost £11,250 to £15,000. Blanford suggested that restricting it to 14 volumes would make it possible to limit the c ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
