Jekel
Henri Jekel (September 21, 1816, Paris - August 4, 1891) was a French coleopterist. Life and work Jekel ran a natural history items and books store in Paris. In 1849 he wrote a revision of the work ''Genera et species Curculionidarum'' by the Swedish entomologist Carl Johan Schönherr. From 1854 to 1859 he self-published the three-volume work ''Fabricia entomologica''. In the following years he wrote a large number of specialist articles for various journals of entomological societies, including the first description of the giraffe neck beetle from Madagascar in 1860. In total, Jekel described over 550 taxa, 367 of which are still valid today. These include genera and species from the beetle families Anthribidae, Attelabidae, Curculionidae and Geotrupidae. Genera described are Lasiorhynchites, Conothorax, Chelotrupes, Balanobius, Donus, Eudmetus, Elytroxys and Entomops. In 1855 he published the first part of ''Insecta Saundersiana or characters of undescribed insects i ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Geotrupidae
Geotrupidae (from Greek γῆ ''(gē)'', earth, and τρῡπητής ''(trȳpētēs)'', borer) is a family of beetles in the order Coleoptera. They are commonly called earth-boring dung beetles or dor beetles. Most excavate burrows in which to lay their eggs. They are typically detritivores, provisioning their nests with leaf litter (often moldy), but are occasionally coprophagous, similar to dung beetles. The eggs are laid in or upon the provision mass and buried, and the developing larvae feed upon the provisions. The burrows of some species can exceed 2 metres in depth. A few species communicate by stridulation (rubbing body parts together to make sounds). Classification They were originally classified as the subfamily Geotrupinae in the family Scarabaeidae before being elevated to a family. Traditionally the family Bolboceratidae was included (as the subfamily Bolboceratinae) on the basis of the number of antenna segments, but examination of a different set of characteri ...

Giraffe Weevil
The giraffe weevil (''Trachelophorus giraffa'') is a weevil found in Southern Africa, India, south-east Asia. Description and ecology It derives its name from an extended neck, much like that of a giraffe. The giraffe weevil is sexually dimorphic, with the neck of the male typically being 2 to 3 times the length of that of the female. Most of the body is black with distinctive red elytra covering the flying wings. The total body length of the males is just under an inch (2.5 cm), among the longest for any Attelabidae, attelabid species. The extended neck is an evolution, adaptation that assists in nest building and fighting. To breed, females roll and secure a leaf of the host plant, ''Dichaetanthera cordifolia'' or ''Dichaetanthera arborea'' (a small tree in the family Melastomataceae), then lay one egg (biology), egg within the tube, before snipping it from the plant.

Coleopterology
Coleopterology (from Coleoptera and Ancient Greek, Greek , ''-logy, -logia'') is the scientific study of beetles, a branch of entomology. Practitioners are termed coleopterists and form groups of amateurs and professionals for business and pleasure. Among these is The Coleopterists Society, an international organization based in the United States. Journals Research in this field is often published in scientific journal, peer-reviewed journals specific to the field of coleopterology, though journals dealing with general entomology also publish many papers on various aspects of beetle biology. Some of the journals specific to beetle research are: * ''The Coleopterist'' (United Kingdom beetle fauna) * ''The Coleopterists Bulletin'' (published by The Coleopterists Society) * ''Elytron (journal), Elytron'' (published by the European Association of Coleopterology) Literature * * . * * . * KW Harde, F.

Société Entomologique De France
The Société entomologique de France, or French Entomological Society, is devoted to the study of insects. The society was founded in 1832 in Paris, France. The society was created by eighteen Parisian entomologists on January 31, 1832. The first (honorary) president was Pierre André Latreille (1762-1833) who was elected unanimously and established the goal of the society to contribute to and progress the development of entomology in all its aspects. The main publications of the society are ''Bulletin de la Société entomologique de France'', ''Annales de la Société entomologique de France Annals are a concise form of historical writing which record events chronologically, year by year. The equivalent word in Latin and French is ''annales'', which is used untranslated in English in various contexts.

Euops Jekeli
''Euops'' is a genus of the leaf-rolling weevils (family Attelabidae) containing more than 300 species. It is spread over most tropical and subtropical regions but is missing from America. The centre of its radiation is New Guinea and Australia where it is the only representative of the subfamily Attelabinae. Females of ''Euops'' have mycangia in the space between metathorax and abdomen. Leaf rolls prepared for oviposition are inoculated with spores from these mycangia. Moreover, the leaf-rolls are treated by the female using abdominal setose brushes that in most species apply secretions of unknown function. The fungus growing on a thus treated leaf-roll does not improve its nutritional value but may play a role as an antagonist of other microbes potentially harmful to the weevil larva A larva (; plural larvae ) is a distinct juvenile form many animals undergo before metamorphosis into adults. Animals with indirect development such as insects, amphibians, or cnidarians ty ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
