Eupalessa
''Eupalessa attenuata'' is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae The longhorn beetles (Cerambycidae), also known as long-horned or longicorns, are a large family of beetles, with over 35,000 species described. Most species are characterized by extremely long antennae, which are often as long as or longer than ..., and the only species in the genus ''Eupalessa''. It was described by James Thomson in 1868. Retrieved on 8 September 2014. The genus was originally known as ''Eupales'', named by Dillon and Dillon in 1946; however, this name was preoccupied by the leaf beetle genus '' Eupales'' Lefèvre, 1885, so it was renamed to ''Eupalessa'' by Miguel A. Monné in 2005. [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Eupales
''Eupales'' is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. The genus contains only one species, ''Eupales ulema'', which is found in Southeast Europe, mostly in Hungary, the Balkan Peninsula, and Turkey. ''Eupales'' is recognised as a primitive member of Eumolpinae, and it shares some features with the Spilopyrinae. Taxonomy The genus was originally known as ''Pales'', named in 1836 by the French entomologist Louis Alexandre Auguste Chevrolat in Dejean's ''Catalogue des Coléoptères'', but this name was preoccupied by the fly genus '' Pales'' Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830. The replacement name ''Eupales'' was created by Édouard Lefèvre in 1885. ''Floricola'' is an older available name for the genus, created by Gistel in 1848; however, almost all authors have used ''Eupales'' in the last 125 years. In Verma ''et al.'' (2005), the genus is placed as the only member of the tribe Eupalini. However, the name "Eupalini" was not explicitly indicated as new, so it is curre ...

Zootaxa
''Zootaxa'' is a peer-reviewed scientific mega journal for animal taxonomists. It is published by Magnolia Press (Auckland, New Zealand). The journal was established by Zhi-Qiang Zhang in 2001 and new issues are published multiple times a week. From 2001 to 2020, more than 60,000 new species have been described in the journal accounting for around 25% of all new taxa indexed in The Zoological Record in the last few years. Print and online versions are available. Temporary suspension from JCR The journal exhibited high levels of self-citation and its journal impact factor of 2019 was suspended from ''Journal Citation Reports'' in 2020, a sanction which hit 34 journals in total. Biologist Ross Mounce noted that high levels of self-citation may be inevitable for a journal which publishes a large share of new species classification. Later that year this decision was reversed and it was admitted that levels of self-citation are appropriate considering the large proportion of papers f ...

James Thomson (entomologist)
James Livingston Thomson (March 15, 1828 – July 2, 1897) was an American entomologist who specialised in Coleoptera. James Thomson was of independent means and for most of life lived in France. His collection of Cerambycidae, Buprestidae, Cetoniinae and Lucanidae was eventually sold to René Oberthür He was a Member of the Société entomologique de France. James Thomson is not to be confused with Carl Gustaf Thomson (1824–1899) also an entomologist.

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] |
Cerambycidae
The longhorn beetles (Cerambycidae), also known as long-horned or longicorns, are a large family of beetles, with over 35,000 species described. Most species are characterized by extremely long antennae, which are often as long as or longer than the beetle's body. In various members of the family, however, the antennae are quite short (e.g., '' Neandra brunnea'') and such species can be difficult to distinguish from related beetle families such as the Chrysomelidae. The scientific name of this beetle family goes back to a figure from Greek mythology: after an argument with nymphs, the shepherd Cerambus was transformed into a large beetle with horns. Description Other than the typical long antennal length, the most consistently distinctive feature of the family is that the antennal sockets are located on low tubercles on the face; other beetles with long antennae lack these tubercles, and cerambycids with short antennae still possess them. They otherwise vary greatly in size, shap ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
